Pampered by My Ex-husband (Penny and Orlando) novel Chapter 54

Chapter 54 I Shouldn't Be Scared

Penny walked to the Art Building where the painting exhibition was held. She was dressed neatly and smartly, especially eye-catching in a crowd of businesspeople.

Penny looked around and immediately found her target in the crowd, Parker, the president of Parker Technology.

"Mr. Wyatt, sorry I'm late."

Penny gracefully walked over to Parker and shook his hand.

Parker was surrounded by several officers of the college. Parker would sponsor all the electronic equipment for microcomputer classes at Chatville University this year and would donate one hundred thousand air conditioners.

Wearing a suit, Parker didn't look like a shrewd businessman but was as open-minded as all his peers. He didn't wear any men's accessories on his wrist. He had been working out for years, so he looked perkier than average.

"Ms. Perry, you're here. I thought you forgot."

They had gotten acquainted with each other since Penny designed a house for Parker.

"Mr. Wyatt kindly invited me here. Of course, I came."

As Penny spoke, she looked at the middle-aged woman dressed sharply. "Ms. Bender, it's been a while."

Fiona was thirty-five years old. She was dressed sharply and wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses. She was a charming mature woman.

But when Penny called her Ms. Bender, Fiona was a bit sulky.

Parker bantered. "You should call her Director Bender. Fiona has been promoted to director this year."

Fiona looked at Penny's face, and there was a quick, solemn expression across her eyes. Then she smiled and held out her hand.

"So it's Penny. I didn't realize you knew Mr. Wyatt."

Parker grinned. "My favorite house is the one Penny designed. I knew she was a graduate of the School of Arts Chatville University, so I invited her to come to this year's exhibition."

"I see."

Fiona fell silent when she looked at Penny, who didn't wear makeup and was dressed head to toe in cheapies.

Penny stood next to Parker and started a conversation about the house. When she saw that Parker was more interested in one painting on the walls, she changed the subject and talked about the exhibition of paintings.

Penny told Parker more about painting methodically, including the brushwork and colors.

Parker nodded from time to time with a smile on his face and complimented her. "You used to study painting, so why did you switch to being a designer?"
