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?
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.
