Pampered by My Ex-husband (Penny and Orlando) novel Chapter 225

Chapter 225 I've Been Waiting for You All Day

"You're here now, which means you didn't make an appointment for the wooden flooring. Although I really like you and would have made an exception for you on account of Master Hudson's reputation, you must understand that items from my factory need to be pre-ordered three years in advance. It's difficult for me to accommodate last-minute requests."

Brian was sincere, and Penny smiled.

"Mr. Franco, I've heard that in previous years, there have been cases where customers estimated the wrong delivery dates or encountered issues with their orders, resulting in returns. I'm not asking you to give me someone else's order, but if there is any return, could you consider giving me an opportunity? I'll offer a good price."

This time, Brian didn't hesitate.

"What's your name?"

"Mr. Franco, you can call me Perry. That's what Hudson used to call me, too."

Brian chuckled, "Since you're his disciple and owe me a favor, stay here and complete a painting for me. If any orders are returned in the future, I'll contact you first."

"Thank you in advance, Mr. Franco."

The painting Brian asked her to work on was simple. Someone had already started it, but it was stopped halfway for some reason. Penny wanted to continue painting but needed to know the original painter's intention.

However, her mind sparked with ideas. She added interactive elements to the originally rigid content, making the painting come alive.

After finishing, three hours had passed, and a servant brought her some tea.

Brian's choice of tea was exquisite. It was a top-quality black tea.

Just as Penny was about to reach for the teacup, she heard a lively voice from outside.

"Dad, isn't Orlando supposed to come over today? I've been waiting all morning. Why hasn't he arrived yet?"

Penny's hand froze, and she followed the voice to see a well-dressed young girl, around twenty years old, walking towards them.

The girl noticed Penny and then saw the painting, anger flashing across her face.

"You! How dare you casually touch someone else's belongings! You are so disrespectful!"

She walked over with big strides, wanting to grab the paper.

"Dad, Orlando is here!"

Brian sighed and then heard Grace coquettishly speaking outside.

"Orlando, you haven't come to see my Dad in a long time!"

Behind Orlando was Zane, holding several gifts and handing them to a servant nearby.

Upon entering, Orlando didn't expect Penny to be there still. The business discussion should have taken less time; either Brian refused straight away, or Penny told him that Orlando's house needed the flooring, and Brian immediately agreed.

Regardless of the circumstances, the conversation between the two should have ended quickly.

Grace had already hooked her arm around Orlando's and looked up at him with a smile.

"I've been waiting for you all day."
