Pampered by My Ex-husband (Penny and Orlando) novel Chapter 126

Chapter 126 Her Mouth Was Tighter Than a Clamshell

Orlando furrowed his brows again, feeling that this woman's mouth was tighter than a clamshell.

"Mhmm."

Penny breathed a sigh of relief, touched by his lack of deliberate troubles.

"Okay, I'll be there on time."

After spraying the pain-relieving spray and giving her ankle some relief, she lowered her head and neatly arranged the medicine box, placing it back in the entrance cabinet.

As she closed the door, she added,

"Mr. Fletcher, please rest early."

Orlando's expression turned even colder, a feeling he couldn't quite describe.

He was suffocating and uncomfortable.

He loosened his tie, hoping that this action would dissipate some of the inexplicable emotions.

But the action of loosening his tie triggered the pain in his palm, causing him to furrow his brows slightly.

She was just an unfamiliar woman.

There was no need to care.

Penny didn't pay any attention to what Orlando might be thinking. She was in a hurry to deal with matters at Philip's family in Prodale County.

But what made her furious was that Noah didn't wait for her there.

Penny was infuriated, but there was nothing she could do about her useless cousin.

She spent a day in Prodale County, first comforting Haley and saying that Susan would come out in a few days, then she went to the hospital to pay the necessary money. Only after Philip's rescue was over did she drag her exhausted body back to Hills Villa in Chatville.

But looming over her head was Orlando's 1.5 million dollars, which had to be repaid within a week.

Penny rubbed her brow, too tired to rest. She saw that it was already 6 p.m. and she quickly started to simmer the soup.

But she was so exhausted that when she was cutting the papaya, she almost cut her hand with the knife.

Anika watched anxiously from the side.

"Ms. Stuart, just tell me what soup you want to drink, and I'll make it for you."

Penny could barely keep her eyes open due to her exhaustion. Upon hearing this, she reluctantly let go of the knife.

"Papaya and Sparerib soup. Anika, please help me with it."

Although she promised Orlando to personally cook, she didn't get any rest last night and drove back alone today. Now she could fall asleep standing.

Moreover, Haley cried in front of her all night, crying so much that her head hurt. Finally, when Philip came out of the emergency room, he cried along with them.

At this moment, Penny had already arrived at the hotel. As soon as she entered the magnificent lobby, she saw someone familiar.

It was Norah Kirk.

Norah was holding Gael Bray's arm.

Penny wanted to pretend she hadn't seen them, but unfortunately, they ran into each other head-on. Ignoring each other was not an option.

Gael, whose attention was focused on Norah, hadn't noticed Penny yet. He was holding onto Norah's waist, clearly trying to flirt. Their relationship didn't seem quite normal.

Norah's pupils contracted when she saw Penny, and she wanted to push Gael away, but he got even closer.

"You've already slept with me, so why are you pretending now? Don't you want to cooperate with me anymore?"

Norah suddenly felt humiliated, especially with Penny present, making her even more embarrassed.

Penny tugged at the corner of her mouth, pressed the elevator button, and didn't want to get involved.

She had been working with Gael for three years and thought he was different from others, but it turned out he was just good at hiding.

Norah probably already knew that Penny had fallen out with Gael, so she couldn't wait to approach him. After all, Gael's decoration team was one of the best in the industry.

As long as Norah whispered in Gael's ear, he would never cooperate with Penny in his entire life. Maybe he would even join forces with other decoration teams to boycott Penny's projects.

Originally, she just wanted to win Gael over without Penny knowing, but being caught by Penny herself was extremely embarrassing.
