Pampered by My Ex-husband (Penny and Orlando)

Chapter 129 The Night Bred Ambiguity

Chapter 129 The Night Bred Ambiguity

Randy was a screenwriter, skilled at capturing small details and expanding his thoughts from there.

But tonight, he had guessed correctly. Orlando and Penny were sharing a room.

Although they weren't in bed together, for Orlando, this was already an exception.

Furthermore, as he turned and entered the room, he saw Penny's exposed neck, revealing large

patches of skin.

When a woman draped a man's clothes over herself, there was a unique charm to it.

Especially in the dark night, where ambiguity thrived.

Orlando furrowed his brows and went straight into the master bedroom.

He felt that the shower he had just taken wasn't right and he should have taken a cold one.

At the same time, his annoyance grew. Who would sleep in a male client's room without any guard? Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Was it just his imagination, or did Penny have ulterior motives?

Orlando's gaze fell on a blanket on the bed, and he thought about how she was still wearing his suit.

He bent down, picked up the blanket, and returned to the living room. Haphazardly, he spread it over

her.

During this process, he didn't look at her face and intentionally created distance between them.

After doing all of this, he didn't care anymore and went back to the master bedroom, lying down on the

bed.

When he didn't have to work overtime, he was disciplined and closed his eyes to rest by ten o'clock.

But when he did have to work for days and nights on end, he never felt tired.

Just as he closed his eyes this time, he heard a sound coming from the living room, as if something

had been kicked.

He intentionally ignored it, blocking out the noise, and fell asleep.

Penny woke up in the middle of the night because she felt a pain in her foot.

She furrowed her brows and rubbed her eyes in confusion.

When she remembered where she was, she quickly stood up.

But because her legs had been curled up for so long, they had gone numb. Furthermore, her ankle was

still injured, so when she moved, she threw herself onto the coffee table.

The glass coffee table toppled over, and the thermos on top, along with a few glass cups, shattered.

Such a loud noise would surely wake Orlando.

With a cold expression, he loosely tied the belt of his robe and opened the door to the master bedroom.

Penny was struggling to get up from the floor, but as soon as she looked up, she saw Orlando standing

next to her with a dark expression on his face.

She knew she was in the wrong, but she didn't have time to worry about the pain.

"Mr. Fletcher, I'm sorry, I..."

Orlando looked at the shattered glass on the floor and then glanced at her exposed palms and ankles,

which were not cut.

Orlando couldn't quite understand why, but whenever he was with Penny, the most absurd things would

happen.

He rubbed his temples with his hand, feeling a throbbing sensation.

After Penny stood up, she felt so embarrassed that she wished she could find a place to hide. Why did

she keep embarrassing herself in front of Orlando?

And why did she fall asleep in a hotel room?

Orlando didn't kick her out, which showed how good his upbringing was.

In his eyes, perhaps there was no difference between her and those women who climbed into bed

recklessly.

Penny sighed.

The other issues were secondary but the most important thing was not to upset the client. If he

terminated the contract in a fit of anger, it would be troublesome.

Although this deal with Orlando was no longer necessary, she had never had a client cancel on her

since she started working.

Moreover, it was Orlando. If the contract was canceled because of this incident, it would be quite

embarrassing.

"Mr. Fletcher, please continue resting. I'll clean up the broken glass and leave."

Orlando looked at her and noticed a hint of exhaustion from her lowered eyelashes. He inexplicably

softened.

"Have you encountered any trouble in Prodale County?"

Penny was taken aback. On such a night, being cared for by someone made her eyes well up with

tears.

"It's already been resolved. I'm just really tired. I apologize."

Her mind had been tormented by Philip and Haley's crying all night, and she hadn't had a moment's

rest. On top of that, she had been infuriated by her useless cousin Noah. On the drive back, her head

was buzzing.

Orlando didn't want to argue with her any further. He turned around and left a parting remark.

"No need to clean up. You can just sleep until morning and then leave."
