Pampered by My Ex-husband (Penny and Orlando)

Chapter 236 Who Are You to Me

Chapter 236 Who Are You to Me

Grace didn't see the exact words flashing on the screen, but she vaguely saw a string of letters.

"Orlando, aren't you going to answer the phone?"

Orlando picked up his wine as a leader at the table toasted him, his eyelashes not even fluttering a bit.

"It's just a nuisance call."

"Oh."

Grace didn't believe it because she clearly saw the caller ID just now.

But at this moment, the other leaders at the table were toasting Orlando.

"Mr. Fletcher, try this plum wine. The chef made it himself. The plums are from south of Prodale

County."

Orlando took the wine, said thanks, then took a sip and paid a little compliment.

Everyone was in a good mood and began talking about the project.

Grace, however, felt that Orlando was more distracted now than he had been a few moments before.

After several rounds of drinks, Orlando undid two buttons of his shirt and briefly talked about a few new

terms.

None of the leaders raised objections. They all agreed that more new perks could be added.

Halfway through the meal, Orlando got up and went to the bathroom.

The restaurant was on the first floor, and so was the bathroom.

Orlando turned the corner and raised an eyebrow at the sight of Penny standing in the doorway of the

bathroom.

Penny swore that she didn't wait deliberately for him here. She originally waited at the entrance of the

villa.

Penny helped several servants move potted plants from the entrance into the villa. That was why she

was here to wash her hands.

This was a co-ed bathroom. Penny was standing at the door as Orlando was about to go inside.

"Mr. Fletcher."

Orlando didn't respond but looked at her.

After a few seconds, he walked past her and went inside. Turning a faucet on, he washed his hands

slowly.

Orlando leaned over the washbasin, revealing his pale-skinned wrists.

Penny was standing behind him. He was so cold, so she felt too awkward to say anything.

Orlando finished washing his hands and wiped his hands with a tissue before turning to look at her.

"What's the matter?"

Since things went this far, Penny could not just leave.

"Mr. Fletcher, my uncle's son came into conflict with the son of one of the leaders you were drinking

with. Could you please put in a word for him?"

The moment Penny finished her words, she felt edgy.

Because she could feel that Orlando had been much colder since last night.

"Perry."

As expected, Orlando said expressionlessly, "Who are you to me?"

His voice was low and slow. He straightened the sleeves of his gray suit as he spoke.

"What makes you think that I'll help you over and over again?"

The implication was that Penny crossed the line.

Penny dropped her eyes and felt a little embarrassed.

Probably because she was well aware that Orlando was her husband in name only. They had a one-

night stand and kissed three times. So, she was under the illusion that she could ask him for

something. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

But now Orlando clobbered her with facts.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Fletcher. I overstepped my bounds."

With a smile on her face, Penny raised her eyes to look at him.

"I'm the interior designer you hire. I always keep that in mind."

Orlando's eyes darkened as he stared at her, and his mouth pressed into a hard line.

Penny felt that Orlando was colder probably because he was not glad to see her here. So, she stepped

back.

"It's getting late. Mr. Fletcher, I'll leave you to your business dinner."

With that, Penny turned away without hesitation.

The dinner over there continued, and everyone was tipsy.

Grace felt that Orlando was in a worse mood after returning from the bathroom.
