Pampered by My Ex-husband (Penny and Orlando)

Chapter 165 He Truly Loves Angie

Chapter 165 He Truly Loves Angie

Lydia couldn't accept it. She had a good relationship with Angie, and after being arranged by Angie to

work at the Fletcher Group, she fit right in due to Angie's connection with Orlando.

But ever since Penny appeared, Orlando had lectured her, and she hadn't dared to call him “brother-in-

law” to his face again. She had also been reprimanded once.

Orlando had never treated her like this before.

Lydia's eyes were red with tears. Even if she didn't explicitly complain, her pitiful appearance was

enough to make everyone suspect Penny.

She didn't respond to Penny's words, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.

The executives all looked at Penny. After all, she wasn't a famous person. Although she had some

reputation among interior designers, she didn't have any clients in this circle, so everyone considered

her a newcomer.

But Lydia was different. She was Angie's cousin, and Angie was going to be Mrs. Fletcher of the

Fletcher Group in the future.

If someone came forward to protect Lydia at this moment, it would indirectly please Mr. Fletcher.

So, someone with a clever mind spoke up with righteous indignation.

“Which floor are you from? We all saw it clearly when the doors opened just now. Ms. Bender was

kneeling in front of you, and you didn't even lend a hand. Moreover, appointments are required to go to

the top floor. Are you one of those women who constantly harass the receptionists in the lobby,

sneaking in just to see Mr. Fletcher?”

Indeed, there had been women who had secretly followed the employees on the top floor before, but

once they were exposed, the police took them away.

Everyone knew that Orlando himself disliked this kind of harassment.

Upon hearing the executives' questioning, Lydia's lips curved slightly, but her eyelids turned even

redder, making her look like someone deeply wronged.

Lydia wasn't bad-looking, so shedding a tear like this made men want to hold her in their arms and

comfort her.

However, due to her connection with Angie, the male employees on the top floor had never dared to

confess to her openly, but many secretly tried to win her favor.

Moreover, the group of executives in front of her loved to protect such young girls.

Compared to Lydia's fragility, Penny's calm expression wasn't very appealing to men.

Most men had a heroic streak and wanted to protect women under their wings.

Penny looked at Orlando, who didn't seem to intend to help her out of the situation. It looked like she

had to rely on herself.

“I made an appointment with Mr. Fletcher today,” she said with a faint smile, taking out her business

card. “I'm Penny from Fayside Studio. I took over Mr. Fletcher's house renovation and came here today

to report on the recent progress. It was my fault that I didn't help Ms. Bender up in time.”

As she spoke, she took out a tissue and placed it in front of Lydia. “Ms. Bender, don't cry anymore, or

everyone will think I bullied you,” she said.

This move directly made Lydia unable to continue pretending.

Penny had spoken so sincerely and clearly, and now she had offered her a tissue.

If she didn't take it and then complain, Penny would undoubtedly bring up the surveillance footage.

If she did take it, it meant that what Penny said was true – she was just scared by the shaking elevator.

Then, the executive who had rushed to defend her would become a laughingstock.

Lydia was so angry that her face turned white. She wished she had known that Penny wasn't

intimidated by the executives and had this up her sleeve.

But now that she had no choice, she could only take the tissue and say, “Thank you, Miss Penny,”

through gritted teeth. She wished to tear Penny into pieces.Penny was nonchalant about Lydia's fury

but said with a smile, "You're welcome."

The executive who had defended Lydia was red-faced and embarrassed. He could only pretend that

nothing had happened and regret Lydia's ability to cry like a victim, which made him look bad.

Penny calmed down the storm and looked at Orlando. “Mr. Fletcher, aren't you coming in?”

Orlando didn't say anything but glanced at Lydia with indifference.

For some reason, Lydia sensed the tension and quickly lowered her head, her eyes reddened as she

walked out.

Orlando walked in, followed by other executives.

Penny stepped aside, wondering why he didn't take the private elevator. Little did she know that the

private elevator was under maintenance today, and Orlando had to attend a social event.

Inside this small elevator, the atmosphere was somewhat subtle.

Penny's gaze fell on the cuff of Orlando's sleeve. He had changed his cufflinks and now wore the

silver-blue ones Angie had just given him. Paired with his suit at the moment, the icy blue accent made

him appear even more distant and unapproachable.

Indeed, he loved Angie very much. Less than ten minutes after receiving the cufflinks from her, he

couldn't wait to put them on. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
