Chapter 184 It Didn't Align With the Image of the Woman He Had Met
For a moment, Penny even considered whether she should confess everything to Orlando and avoid
this constant hiding and lying. And then there was no need to lie constantly on Colin's side.
But when she thought about Orlando's attitude towards the Stuart family, and now that she was
responsible for designing his house, building a good relationship was important to avoid an awkward
encounter between them.
Besides, Orlando had helped her a lot during this time.
If things were to escalate, Penny would only feel powerless.
She got up, feeling exhausted all over.
She was tired in her heart and body.
"Anika, I'm feeling a bit unwell tonight, so I won't come down for dinner. You don't need to call me."
Anika looked hesitant. "Ms. Stuart, last time I used the same excuse, and Mr. Fletcher was a bit angry."
Penny forced a smile. "It's alright, anyway, there's no possibility of salvaging our relationship."
To be precise, it wasn't her relationship with him, but rather his relationship with Mrs. Fletcher.
If Penny tried to get close to him using Mrs. Fletcher's identity, it would only make him disgusted.
Orlando wanted Mrs. Fletcher to stay away from his life. Just like that night when she borrowed 1.5
million dollars from him, he transferred the money without hesitation and made sure she remembered
her identity.
If Penny had approached him from the beginning as Mrs. Fletcher, Orlando wouldn't have met her at
all.
Anika wanted to say something but stopped herself and sighed.
In the evening, when Orlando entered the villa, he casually placed his suit on the coat rack.
The aroma of food wafted through the house. He had just finished a meeting and was feeling a bit tired.
Anika didn't dare to be negligent and quickly approached him.
"Mr. Fletcher."
Orlando had been coming here recently, but when he came and how long he stayed depended entirely
on his mood.
After all, the old man would occasionally conduct surprise inspections, so he had to stay here for a few
nights to handle it.
"Dinner is ready, Mr. Fletcher. Please have some."
Anika instructed the servants to bring out the food. As Orlando sat down, he felt like he heard a few
dog barks.
Furrowing his brows, he glanced around the room and thought he was hearing things.
"Where is she?"
Although he didn't like her, as a man, he didn't want to deliberately isolate her even during dinner.
"Ms. Stuart said she's not feeling well."
Orlando furrowed his brows. Based on his understanding of that woman, even if she wasn't feeling
well, she would come down just to catch a glimpse of him.
The look in her eyes and her unwavering determination made him uncomfortable. It was as if she could
only breathe when she was in bed, she would bring her closer to him.
So, using this excuse twice in a row to avoid meeting him made him feel that it didn't align with the
image of the woman he had met.
But Orlando didn't have the intention to delve deeper into his so-called wife.
Meanwhile, upstairs, Penny was working late on her computer.
She had just received the lowest price from other material suppliers, but when it came to Lignum Vitae
flooring, a product that required a three-year advance reservation, she was temporarily at a loss.
She estimated that she would need the flooring to be delivered in six months, so she had to find an
opportunity to go back to Prodale County.
Moreover, because Lignum Vitae flooring was highly sought after and the person in charge in Prodale
County was very cautious, they only accepted orders from their long-term business partners. Penny All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
had to go and see for herself to know how to persuade them.
But there was no need to leave tonight. After all, even if she left for Prodale County now, it would be too
late. There wouldn't be much difference if she went there in a few days.
She carefully reviewed the material forms once again, making sure she hadn't missed anything. Then,
she started looking at the renderings on her computer, thinking about what modifications still needed to
be made.
Orlando had helped her so many times, so she had to design the houses in Royal Green perfectly.
However, just as her fingers touched the keyboard, she heard a dog barking outside.
Her hands froze, and she quickly stood up, walking to the window to see what was happening. It was
Niko, causing a ruckus in the garden.
Didn't Anika lock it up?
How did it manage to get out?
Now that Orlando was back, if he found Niko, the consequences would be unimaginable.
