Chapter 158 He Chuckled with A Hint of Mockery
Penny came downstairs, and there was no one in the living room. She called someone from the company and made an appointment at seven in the evening. She took her bag at the entrance and left without noticing the gifts on the coffee table.
Anika was busy instructing the kitchen staff to make a nourishing dinner, thinking about giving Penny a healthy meal, so she didn't notice Penny leaving.
There were not many servants in Hills Villa. Penny had rarely seen other servants here. Except for Anika, who often appeared in sight, she rarely communicated with others.
She had told Rex that she liked peace, so Rex had ordered not to send too many servants over.
After Orlando arrived, he got a call when he got out of the car. It was from Rex.
Facing Rex's aggressiveness, Orlando was concerned about his health and did not refute.
"Rex, I'm already in the Hills Villa."
Rex finally let out a sigh of relief. After all, Penny's father had been still sick a few days ago, and it was normal for her to be in a bad mood. As her husband, Orlando should comfort her at this time.
Orlando hung up the phone, unbuttoned two buttons of his shirt, and walked in.
He had come back in a hurry. He had just finished a few meetings when he received Rex's order. He had been gloomy and even more annoyed because of Rex's demand.
His shirt sleeves were rolled up to the middle of his arms, revealing his smooth muscle lines. His eyes were deep and bright.
The bridge of his nose was straight, and his lips were pursed tightly. When he opened the door, the air-conditioning was almost freezing.
When Anika saw him, she was stunned momentarily and then said respectfully, "Mr. Fletcher."
Orlando hung his coat on the rack nearby, changed his shoes, and then took a look upstairs.
Anika somehow noticed a sense of indifference and boredom in him.
"Dinner will be ready soon. I'll ask Ms. Stuart to come down."
"OK." Orlando nodded slightly, walked directly to the sofa, and sat down.
