Pampered by My Ex-husband (Penny and Orlando) novel Chapter 224

Chapter 224 If You're Rejected

Seeing Orlando's serious expression and focus on reviewing documents, Penny dared not disturb him and remained silent until they reached their destination.

Simon arrived outside the car, thanked Orlando, and then pointed to a villa in the distance, telling Penny, "The person you're looking for lives there. We'll take Mr. Fletcher around there. I've completed the task assigned by Philip. You should go now."

Penny turned around and thanked Orlando before expressing her gratitude to Simon. She then walked briskly towards the villa.

But after only a few steps, she heard Orlando's voice.

"If you're rejected, just mention my name."

Penny was somewhat surprised. Could this boss have had some connections with Orlando?

If that were the case, things would be much easier.

A smile instantly appeared on her face, and her eyes sparkled.

"Alright, thank you, Mr. Fletcher."

The noon sunlight was intense, and it felt dazzling to Orlando as it fell on her.

He averted his gaze and continued conversing with the government leaders beside him.

Penny arrived at the front of the villa and pressed the doorbell.

The villa had a traditional style, and through the door, she could see a garden decorated with artificial rocks.

The owner living inside seemed to have a leisurely and elegant lifestyle.

A servant walked out in a short while, and upon seeing her, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

"May I ask who you're looking for?"

"Hello, I'm looking for Mr. Franco. I heard he's home today, so I came to visit him."

The servant hesitated for a few seconds before opening the door.

"Mr. Franco does have some free time today, but he usually doesn't see people without an appointment. Follow me inside, and I'll inform him to see if he's willing to meet you."

Penny was graceful and likable, so the servant was willing to let her in.

"How did you see it was Hudson's replication?"

When he heard a visitor, he thought it was that kid, but he didn't expect a young girl to come.

"Hudson is my teacher. I was fortunate enough to study with him for a while."

Hudson was an eccentric old man, rarely taking on any disciples in recent years. There had been one before, but he was unwilling to disclose her identity.

Now, seeing Penny, Brian was somewhat astonished. Was this young girl, who appeared to be in her early twenties, Hudson's only disciple?

"When Hudson replicated this painting, he specifically studied southern landscapes for a long time. Prodale County hasn't been developed yet and has many characteristics of southern mountain scenery. It's not surprising that Mr. Franco, who rarely leaves these deep mountains, loves it."

Brian chuckled lightly and pointed to the seat opposite him.

"Please have a seat. You're here about the Lignum Vitae matter, aren't you?"

Penny nodded, embarrassed, "I mentioned my teacher's name earlier to avoid being kicked out by Mr. Franco. I hope Mr. Franco won't hold it against me."

She was very straightforward and had clear eyes.

Brian sighed, feeling Penny was about the same age as his daughter.
