Chapter 184 It Didn't Align With the Image of the Woman He Had Met
For a moment, Penny even considered whether she should confess everything to Orlando and avoid this constant hiding and lying. And then there was no need to lie constantly on Colin's side.
But when she thought about Orlando's attitude towards the Stuart family, and now that she was responsible for designing his house, building a good relationship was important to avoid an awkward encounter between them.
Besides, Orlando had helped her a lot during this time.
If things were to escalate, Penny would only feel powerless.
She got up, feeling exhausted all over.
She was tired in her heart and body.
"Anika, I'm feeling a bit unwell tonight, so I won't come down for dinner. You don't need to call me."
Anika looked hesitant. "Ms. Stuart, last time I used the same excuse, and Mr. Fletcher was a bit angry."
Penny forced a smile. "It's alright, anyway, there's no possibility of salvaging our relationship."
To be precise, it wasn't her relationship with him, but rather his relationship with Mrs. Fletcher.
If Penny tried to get close to him using Mrs. Fletcher's identity, it would only make him disgusted.
Orlando wanted Mrs. Fletcher to stay away from his life. Just like that night when she borrowed 1.5 million dollars from him, he transferred the money without hesitation and made sure she remembered her identity.
If Penny had approached him from the beginning as Mrs. Fletcher, Orlando wouldn't have met her at all.
Anika wanted to say something but stopped herself and sighed.
In the evening, when Orlando entered the villa, he casually placed his suit on the coat rack.
The aroma of food wafted through the house. He had just finished a meeting and was feeling a bit tired.
Anika didn't dare to be negligent and quickly approached him.
"Mr. Fletcher."
Orlando had been coming here recently, but when he came and how long he stayed depended entirely on his mood.
After all, the old man would occasionally conduct surprise inspections, so he had to stay here for a few nights to handle it.
"Dinner is ready, Mr. Fletcher. Please have some."
