Penny stared at her reflection in the mirror and was in awe at how she looked.
The blue dress she wore matched perfectly with her eyes, enhancing her beauty even more.
Penny didn’t need anyone to tell her the hairstyle, makeup, and dress had transformed her from an ugly duckling to a princess overnight. She would definitely be the center of attention in this dress tonight.
She used to think an overly sized dress fit her better, but she looked good in a not-so-big and not-so-tight dress too.
What had insecurities turned her into?
"Wow, you look so beautiful, Miss Penny," Hughes said with a smile. She was shocked how how her new mistress had transformed.
"Thank you, Hughes." Penny beamed.
"I hope you have a wonderful time out with master Osvaldo Miss Penny. You deserve all of the happiness in the world." Hughes said calmly, handing over her purse and Penny took it.
"Thank you," Penny said again.
She has never gotten a princess treatment before. Things like this are what she saw her parents give to Ariana all her life. They even make her Ariana’s maid too in nights like this.
Penny smiled. It’s ironic how she was living the same life now.
When both women stepped out of the room, they walked through the now beautiful halls. Penny held the rays for support as she walked through the grand stairs, when she reached the second section of the stairs, she could see Osvaldo.
He stood at the bottom of the stairs, head lowered, one hand resting lazily on the rail, a finger tapping softly. He wore a sleek black suit, tailored perfectly to his tall frame. His long black hair was tied loosely, and under the soft light, his golden eyes sparkled like fireflies.
Penny’s heart skipped.
Penny had wondered what he would look like in normal clothes, but she had no idea he would look this good.
His presence screamed power and authority. One look from him can bring many nations down.
Penny had no idea she held her breath at the sight of him, but she did. It’s just a normal womanly instinct whenever they say a hot man or maybe a man they want to impress.
She pushed her tommy in, shoulders raised without an idea she was doing that.
"Master, Miss Penny is here." Barnaby who was standing behind his master announced. He was mesmerized by his Madams beauty tonight. Truly, money can transform an ugly-looking pig, into a beautiful one.
Is this the same Penny they all know, or is she a new one? They couldn’t tell themselves.
Osvaldo raised his head quickly, his now golden eyes on his penguin. He smiled, almost changing his mind about them going out tonight. He wanted her hidden. He didn’t want anyone else to see his priceless possession.
His Penguin.
But then she wanted to show her off. He wanted everyone to see his Penguin was so beautiful. The most beautiful woman in all of Owlsgrave.
Barnaby and Hughes who stood by the door watching their little Young master leave with the new young mistress both smiled. They were so sure Dewitt and their former mistress would have been happy to see their son so happy.
"How time flies Barnaby," Hughes said calmly.
"It sure does fly. I hope things can stay like these forever." He said.
"It will, as long as Master Osvaldo says hidden," Hughes said calmly.
"Master Osvaldo is like a baby bird waiting to fly. And questions have begun to arise after his face got shown publicly." Barnaby said.
The Adkins lawyers have all tightened the security a few days ago after their return. They have been receiving different subtle threats since Osvaldo’s face surfaced online. The higher-ups were now so curious about the boy and how he was still very much alive.
"What do we do Barnaby, we promised to protect him at all costs," Hughes said.
"That is why I have been sabotaging Miss Penny’s new drugs," Barnaby said.
"Our new Mistress is so smart. She had found the cure without even knowing. If she finds the cure for master Osvaldo to be fine, then he will take revenge on the ones that hurt his parents and that would be his downfall." Barnaby said.
"What did you do Barnaby? Pray you don’t get caught, else you will be dead by Masters hands." Barnaby had committed a grave crime. They all know their master had been searching for a cure himself for years.
Hughes could not begin to imagine what would happen if Osvaldo discovered the truth.
"He would only know if you tell him, Hughes," Barnaby said and started walking away.
