Chapter 11 He's My Husband
Penny looked up and saw a hint of coldness flashing across his eyes.
The group of people went past Penny without looking at her. The man at the front fixed his eyes on Orlando courteously as he walked and talked. Evidently, he wanted to curry favor with Orlando and didn't dare to offend him. The other people that followed them were all in suits.
Penny thought they were in a different world where she had never set foot in.
She stood there for a while.
After that, she carried the golf club and went out.
Ryder wore a set of designer sportswear, but he had a plain face. The white ball made a beautiful curve and slipped into the hole smoothly. When he saw Penny come, he handed his club to the caddie next to him.
"Ms. Perry, it was difficult to ask you out."
Penny smiled gracefully and sat down with him. "Mr. Cain, you must be joking. I'm only an insignificant designer."
As they talked, the staff nearby started to clean up. It could be seen that a big shot was coming.
Noticing that she was looking at the staff, Ryder couldn't help boasting, "Do you know the Fletcher Group? My Dad especially invited them to play golf with him today. The cooperation will be worth 30 billion dollars."
Penny had met various customers before, and some of them were boastful. She knew she should flatter Ryder at this moment.
"Mr. Cain, I heard that the construction cost of the land you purchased last year went up to 45 million dollars. Doesn't 30 billion dollars mean nothing to you since your family owns Prosperity Bank?"
A trace of complacency flashed across Ryder's eyes, and he gave a faint smile. "Well, 30 billion dollars is not a small sum of money. Prosperity Bank is the first to cooperate with Orlando after he came back from abroad, which shows he respects us."
"Mr. Fletcher caused a sensation when he came back from abroad."
Penny complimented Orlando without much enthusiasm, but she sounded polite.
Ryder took the water from the caddie and headed toward the lawn. Penny had to follow him.
"Yeah, but I learned from my dad that Orlando is married."
"Really? Mr. Fletcher doesn't look like a married man."
Penny took out her golf club and played along with the conversation. Since her customer liked gossiping, she would follow suit.
"I agree with you. Why doesn't he take his wife out if he's married? Unless that woman is not presentable."
Penny paused as she waved the club, but she quickly collected herself and said, "Maybe."
When Ryder saw her ponytail draw a pretty curve in the air and her skin shine in the sunlight, he couldn't help swallowing hard. "If Mr. Fletcher marries a stunning beauty like you, he will wish to take her out every day."
"Mr. Cain, I'm flattered. I'm not that lucky."
They had a dull conversation and played golf for a while. After that, Ryder said he wanted to have a break.
Penny wanted to take the chance to discuss the design work, but Ryder said before she could utter anything, "I'm sweating after playing golf. Why don't we get changed first?"
Penny thought it was not proper to talk about business when they were sweating.
Therefore, she went to take a quick shower. After she put on her clothes and came out, the door to the changing room was pushed open.
Penny frowned. How could someone barge into the changing room without knocking on the door?
