Chapter 110 What Trick Was She Playing
Fearing that she would offend Orlando, Penny turned her body when she sneezed. And her shoulders Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
trembled slightly.
As she was drenched in the rain, her face looked paler and some of her hair was stuck to her cheeks.
Her eyelashes were also dripping.
Moreover, she didn't wear much and her clothes were stuck to her body tightly, exposing her well-
shaped figure.
Penny rubbed her red eyes and asked out of courtesy when seeing that Orlando still stopped the car
before her.
"Mr. Fletcher, are you still working late at night?"
It was true that Orlando was working overtime. He had to attend a banquet in the Fletcher's mansion
tomorrow night, so that was the reason why he advanced the meeting. And he had just finished the
meeting.
Originally, he thought Penny would beg him to give her a ride. After all, it was difficult to hail a taxi at
this intersection, not to mention that her bag and phone had been left in the car.
However, Penny only looked at him smilingly and politely as if she was now dealing with an important
client, while he was silent. He had stopped her for 2 minutes and there came horns from the cars
blocked behind his car.
Orlando felt inexplicably angry. But he didn't understand why he had such a feeling.
"Where are you living in?"
His tone of voice sounded cold and his face looked indifferent and gloomy.
Penny had to go back to the Stuart's mansion to get a document now. However, if Orlando sent her
back, he would definitely learn about her true identity in advance.
Moreover, she was drenched now and she would only soil his car if she got in.
"My house is very close to this place."
Complicated emotions flashed across Orlando's eyes. It was the first time that he offered to send a
woman home, but this woman had refused him politely.
What trick was she playing? Was she pretending to be composed just like what Randy had said? Or
was she playing hard to get?
He opened the door and Penny was surprised. She thought he was inviting her to get in the car.
She wanted to find an excuse to refuse him again, but before she could do that, she caught a glimpse
of a silver handle.
"Take the umbrella."
Penny finally reacted when she heard the words. She took the silver handle in a hurry.
"Thank you, Mr. Fletcher. I'll return it to you the other day."
Only at this moment did Orlando notice that she'd always addressed him as "Mr. Fletcher" after
knowing him.
It sounded polite yet distant.
The car door was automatically closed and he didn't say anything.
Penny had been drenched by the rain and it was meaningless to use an umbrella now. However, as
she had declined him once, it was inappropriate to refuse him again. It would appear to be too
arrogant.
Indeed, she even wanted to boldly borrow 20 dollars from him to hail a taxi. That was her real thought.
But if she did, it would be like telling him that she didn't want to take his car. She was afraid she would
offend him completely after that.
Therefore, she suppressed the urge and decided to walk back to the Stuart's mansion.
It would only take half an hour to walk back to the Stuart's mansion from this place. But it was
somehow a bit inconvenient for her as she was wearing a pair of high heels.
Through the rear-viewed mirror, Orlando noticed that Penny was really walking along a small road. He
pressed his lips tightly.
When Penny's legs began to become sore, she finally saw the gate of the Stuart's mansion.
The security guard at the door looked nervous when spotting her.
"Ms. Stuart, why... why are you suddenly back?"
"I'm back to get a document for my father."
With that, she entered the mansion, still holding the umbrella.
She rang the doorbell of the living room and Helen, who was in pajamas, finally came to open the door
for her after 10 minutes.
"Why are you back?"
Helen's tone sounded very stern and it seemed as if she wanted to stop her from entering the house.
Penny looked behind her and found the decoration of the living room had been changed a lot. It had
been changed into the style that Helen favored.
And a strange odor permeated in the air. She knitted her brows tightly and said, "I come back to get a
thing for my dad. Get out of the way."
Helen twitched her mouth corners. Folding her arms before her chest, she stepped aside and said,
"Hurry up and leave after getting the thing you want. You insisted on leaving the Stuart family back
then, so don't be too cheeky and insist on going back now."
Penny was amused by her words and looked her up and down.
Helen felt inexplicably flustered. She collected her pajamas and snapped, "What are you looking at?
Do you think that I can't do anything to you when your dad is not present?"
Penny didn't want to waste her time quarreling with her. She directly went upstairs to the study to look
for the document.
However, when she opened the door of the study, she noticed a family photo on the desk.
Only Cason, Helen, Lana, and Talon were in the photo.
While photos of her and her mother were kept in the drawer.
Penny only took a glance at it. When she picked up the document again, her nose twitched. She
smelled that strange odor again. It smelled fishy and sour.
