Two heads are better than one

[To: Miss Penelope]

I told my grandmother I was married to lessen her worries. Now, everyone knows I am married.]

Benjamin held his breath, darting his nervous eyes between Zoren and the phone on the desk. He stood on the side, hugging the document he was reading for Zoren to sign.

They waited for Penny to respond.

'I bet she won't,' Benjamin thought, his eyes brimming with pity for his boss. 'Why did he have to tell the chairwoman about his marriage?!'

However, there were some upsides to this, because rumors of Zoren getting better were attributed to his wife's care. The frequent visits to the hospital and checkups were supposed to ensure he continued to recover.

Benjamin didn't know how the rumor started, but he was certain the chairwoman's side had everything to do with it.
