Chapter 56 She Was a Thief
Penny and Parker looked at a lot of paintings together, and Parker became more satisfied with her interpretation.
The other reason he asked Penny here today was to set her up with someone.
"Do you know Mr. Mckay of the Mckay Group? His son is also a designer, and I heard that he is already making a name for himself, and he's your age. I'd like to introduce him to you. You both work in the same industry and have something in common. What do you think?"
Penny was about to decline when Parker added, "Oh, there he is now. Clark, you're here for the exhibition?"
Penny followed Parker's gaze and spotted Clark, who was a few steps away.
Clark's face had already returned to normal, and he walked over to Parker with a smile. "Parker, if you had told me you were coming, I would have come to be your docent."
Clark looked at Penny, his eyes shining with interest.
"The designer you got was Perry too?"
"Yeah, it's her."
Clark walked over to Penny and said affectionately, "Perry, you got Orlando's contract last time. You took two clients from me in total. It seems we have a connection."
Penny frowned sightly, and Parker said, "You young people have a lot in common. I've seen some of the paintings I wanted to see today. Clark, take good care of Ms. Perry, and be considerate."
Parker's words meant that Clark should treat Penny as if she were his future girlfriend.
Clark laughed a little, and after Parker left, Clark's smile faded.
"Let's have dinner together later?"
Penny thought Clark was really thick-skinned. Clark didn't mention that Penny kicked him just now. It seemed he wanted to move on.
But her disdainful eyes fell on his private parts.
"Mr. Mckay, you all right? Are you good?"
Her tone was cold, but he got her wrong when he heard her question.
Clark leaned closer to her, his tone flirty.
"You'll find out if you try."
"..."
Before Penny could speak, a young girl's voice came from the side.
"Hey, it's you!"
Ruby bit her lips tightly. "I'm a student of the School of Arts Chatville University, and there are works of mine exhibited here today. The school has the right to protect my interests. If you don't admit it, I'll notify the directors right now and have the security guards throw you out!"
Clark stood there and saw Penny being given such a hard time but didn't rush to stand up for her. He wanted Penny to ask him for help when she was most helpless before he would come to Penny's rescue and win her round.
Clark smiled, simply stood aside, and watched what was going on next.
He recognized Ruby and knew she was from the Foster family, one of the top four families in Chatville. That was why Ruby dared to give Penny a hard time.
Ruby's eyes darted around, and he saw Fiona who had washed her face and dressed up.
Fiona put a lot of foundation on her face to cover up the mess.
Ruby beckoned. "Ms. Bender, you're just in time. She stole my bracelet at school. She's not from our university. Shall we kick her out?"
Penny raised an eyebrow, and her mouth curved into a smile when she looked at Fiona who had changed her outfit.
Fiona, as if irritated by Penny's smile, only felt the smell of toilet water still lingering between her nostrils, and her stomach churned again.
Fiona pretended not to recognize Penny and waved at the security guards standing at the door.
"I need you to hand this thief over to the police."
