Penn wasn’t exactly a head-turner.
However, he had an air of refinement about him, similar to Larkin. They both had an ethereal aura that set them apart from the crowd.
But unlike Larkin’s aloofness, Penn was different.
He had a cool, intellectual vibe to him, like he had been steeped in the world of books.
“Did I come too early?” Penn greeted, extending his hand.c
Rosalynn shook hands with him politely, then they sat across from each other
“How’s your friend doing?” Penn asked, pouring Rosalynn a cup of green tea and sliding it across the table to her.
It was strange. It was their first meeting but Penn made it feel like they had known each other for years.
Their conversation was casual and relaxed
“Not too well Rosalynn was honest, “But she’ll get through”

Penn looked at Rosalynn, his clear eyes filled with a hint of disappointment.
She seemed quite enthusiastic, but it was all surface level. Their conversation was all technique, devoid of emotion.

“It’s my first time here,” Rosalynn admitted with a helpless smile, “I don’t know much about vegan food. You order, Dr. Lange”
Penn didn’t hesitate and quickly ordered their lunch.
Throughout the meal, Penn was quite talkative and his speech was always gentle, making it comfortable and pressure-free to listen to. Even when discussing complex topics, he made them easy to understand.
They chatted like this for over an hour until one of Penn’s graduate students called him.
Penn listened attentively occasionally responding. When the call ended, he spoke with an air of authority, “Alright, I’m on my way”
After hanging up, he turned to Rosalynn, “Ms. Jared, I’ve enjoyed our lunch today, but
“No problem. You do your thing. We’ll have other chances to meet Rosalynn said, smiling
Penn looked at her, 1 look forward to our next meeting Ms. Jared”
Then he left
Rosalynn sat alone in the private dining room, taking her time to finish her tea
