Pasadena.
Cheesecake Factory.
Penny had scared off the troublesome Sheldon.
But before long, she began to feel a little uneasy.
"Still thinking about your crazy cute guy?"
A fellow waitress, also blonde, also dreaming of becoming a Hollywood star, and considered just as big and manly as Penny in Sheldon and the other nerds' eyes, couldn't help teasing her.
Don't doubt it.
In the Los Angeles metropolitan area, there were at least ten thousand, if not a hundred thousand, girls like Penny.
They worked as waitresses to make a living while waiting for their chance to soar to fame, becoming dazzling actresses with both fortune and fame.
They all expected it to take around half a year.
But 99.99 percent of them had been doing it for years and still saw no end in sight.
"No..."
Penny wanted to deny it, but then she told the truth. "All right, a little. He is my neighbor, and he counts as my friend... Well, at the very least, I'm friends with his roommate Leonard.
"It's like your friend's kid coming to see you, then running off all crazy. You'd feel a little guilty and worried, wouldn't you?"
"That depends on the friend."
The blonde coworker smiled. "And isn't that kid a little too old?~
"How can your friend Leonard be comfortable with that?
"Maybe he'd be the first one to object to you taking care of him~"
"You mean Sheldon..."
Penny snorted with laughter. "Believe me, don't let the fact that he's twenty-seven fool you. He's no different from a seven-year-old.
"Especially in that respect.
"Even if I slept with him one day, Leonard wouldn't have any other ideas!"
"I don't believe you."
The blonde coworker wore a classic lewd grin.
"Forget it. I'll call him."
Penny couldn't be bothered to argue
