Pampered by My Ex-husband (Penny and Orlando)

Chapter 159 I Don't Want to Hear About Her

That woman had stood him up several times. Now that dinner was ready, she slept upstairs, making

everyone wait.

She was a lazy woman living on the charity of the Fletcher family.

This was the image of Penny in his mind.

"Let's have dinner. Don't wait any longer." His tone was calm. He stood up and walked to the dining

table.

Anika's attitude was more cautious, and she could feel that Mr. Fletcher was angry.

Now, the relationship between the couple might become distant. Thinking of this, she sighed.

But before Ms. Stuart went upstairs, she had indeed looked pale. She probably didn't hear the knock

on the door.

Anika wanted to say something to defend Penny. But before she could speak, she was interrupted by

Orlando, "I don't want to hear about her." Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

His eyes were full of calmness and restraint, and his almost cold tone completely shut Anika up.

During dinner, Anika could only stay silent.

Other servants were careful even when walking.

Orlando had dinner very elegantly and didn't eat much. After finishing dinner in silence, he went to his

bedroom upstairs.

Anika asked the servants to put away the dishes and left one plate of food for Penny.

Penny had arrived where Valenworth Company was located, and Valenworth Company was her partner

this time.

She had taken a nap before she came here. Also, she used concealer, so there were no traces of a

slap mark on her cheek. Otherwise, meeting her partners in this manner would not have been nice.

The person in charge of Valenworth Company was much more reliable than Gael. The two parties

chatted for a while and then made an appointment for dinner.

Since it was a business diner, it inevitably involved wine. Penny only had two drinks this time, and it

only took three hours to settle the following process.

She handed over the construction drawings to the other party and selected most of the materials for the

base installation.

The two parties chatted pleasantly, and construction was expected to start in two days.

Penny didn't call for the driver when she came out. Now that she was drunk, she could only call for a

substitute d driver.

After the car stopped at Hills Villa, she paid the driver, opened the door, and walked in.

The Hills Villa was particularly quiet tonight, and she noticed a dull atmosphere from the moment she

entered.

It was extraordinary.

She raised her hand to rub her temple. She had chatted with the person in charge and now felt dizzy.

Anika was waiting in the living room. When she saw Penny coming back from outside, a trace of

surprise flashed in her eyes, "Ms. Stuart, weren't you sleeping in the bedroom?"

Penny said, "I took a temporary work call and went out."

Anika instantly regretted it. She should have made a phone call. Mr. Fletcher had a wrong impression

of Ms. Stuart; it was her fault.

"Well, have you had dinner?"

"I had a few drinks with a business partner and feel a little sick in the stomach. I'll take a stomach pill

and go to bed. Anika, you should go to rest, too."

Anika usually didn't stay up late, but Penny returned too late tonight. She had thought Penny was

resting in her room, so she had been waiting for Penny to wake up before serving her food. But

unexpectedly, Penny had come back from outside.

"Ms. Stuart, you should have a bowl of warm soup. After you finish drinking, just put the bowl in the

sink. I will bring you the soup. I will put the stomach pill on the dining table with a glass of water."

"OK."

After Anika finished all this, she yawned and went to sleep.

Penny sat at the dining table and somehow felt she might have forgotten something, but she couldn't

remember what it was for a while.

There was a sudden sound of lightning and thunder outside the window. It seemed like it was going to

rain tonight.

After taking the stomach pill, she no longer wanted the soup, so she returned the bowl to the kitchen.

The rain rumbled outside, followed by another thunder.

Penny planned to wash the bowl. But when she heard the rumble of thunder, the bowl in her hand fell

to the ground and broke into pieces.

She hurriedly bent over to pick it up. But the moment she squatted down, she felt darkness around.

Only the light from the lightning outside could penetrate the window, occasionally leaving a bright

shadow in the house.

Was it a power cut?

She was about to get up when she heard a man's voice from outside the kitchen, "Who's in there?"

It was Orlando's voice.

No wonder she had somehow felt like she had forgotten something. She had been so engrossed in

chatting with her collaborator tonight that she had forgotten that she and Orlando lived in the Hills Villa

now.
