Chapter 191 Gripping Her Heart

Penny called softly, only to see Orlando's head resting on the edge of the couch. He seemed asleep.

Penny breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, it wasn't a deliberate attempt to brush her off. If it were, she would have felt awkward.

Since Orlando was asleep, Penny had no chance to achieve her purpose tonight. So, she got up to leave.

But Penny caught a glimpse of Orlando's open collar. After some thought, she took a blanket and bent to drape it over him.

As Penny bent over Orlando, his eyelashes fluttered and his eyes flickered open.

The two were so close that they could feel each other's breath.

It was not the first time Penny had seen his face up close, but she was in a bit of a trance right now.

When Penny felt the warmth of Orlando's lips on hers, her eyes widened and her body stiffened.

Then, Orlando's lips pressed hard against Penny's, and their lips met in a vigorous kiss.

It was as if tentacles gripped her heart tight.

Penny snapped back to her senses and straightened up immediately.

Orlando was leaning against the couch with his eyes closed as if it was just a dream.

Probably affected by alcohol, Penny felt her cheeks heat up a little. She hurriedly put the blanket over Orlando and hurried off, not having time to do anything else.

The moment the door closed, Orlando opened his eyes and glanced up at the ceiling. His eyes still blurred.

But immediately afterward, Orlando seemed to think that he was still dreaming and closed his eyes.

Penny hurried out of the hotel and then became calm in the night breeze.

She reached out and ran her finger over her lips.

That kiss from the last Truth or Dare lasted thirty seconds.

This time, the kiss only lasted about four or five seconds, far shorter than that one, but the aftertaste was stronger.

Penny rubbed her forehead. What was all this about?

She hoped that Orlando wouldn't remember the kiss when he got up in the morning.

After all, Penny put a blanket over Orlando on her own initiative when he was a little drunk. So, maybe he would wake up thinking that she had taken advantage of him. Penny was already in a lot of trouble. The orders got canceled, and she could only turn to Orlando.

Penny would have to wait until Orlando sobered up to discuss it with him.

Penny still regretted it when she lay down to sleep.

Orlando was drunk and kissed Penny slowly at that time. Beguiled by his gorgeous face, she did not push him away immediately.

If there was another misunderstanding, then Orlando probably wouldn't help her straighten things out with Nancy.

It was better to wait until Orlando sobered up.

The next morning, Penny had nothing to do because the orders got canceled.

If things remained unsolved in Chatville, the deal of Lignum Vitae flooring in Prodale County would have to be put on hold.

It was eleven o'clock at noon. Thinking that Orlando might wake up, Penny tentatively made a phone call.

Orlando was in the meeting. Something flickered in his eyes as he saw the number flashing up on the screen.

Instead of answering the phone, Orlando pressed to turn off the screen and signaled the executives to continue.

"Sorry, the number you have dialed cannot be reached. Please hang up and try your call again."

Hearing the mechanical female voice coming from her cell phone, Penny was a bit deflated and couldn't figure out what Orlando was up to for a while.

Penny packed up and decided to make a trip to the Fletcher Group.

This time, Penny didn't meet Lydia there but found that Orlando was in a meeting.

Zane saw Penny and said, "Mr. Fletcher's meeting will last until 5:00 p.m., and there will be a half-hour break after 2:00 p.m. Ms. Perry, why don't you sit and wait here?"

Penny had no choice but to follow Zane to Orlando's office and wait inside.

Half an hour later, the door of the office opened. Penny immediately rose from her seat, thinking that it was Orlando, but it turned out to be Nancy. Penny's heart instantly thumped.

Nancy came here today to discuss with Orlando about Colin. After all, Colin did something crazy. It was necessary to get him trained in the Fletcher Group. But Nancy didn't expect to run into Penny here. Nancy sneered, "Perry, do you know Orlando is already married?"

Nancy seated herself calmly and stowed her bag. "Do you need me to call his wife over here? Norah is now infamous. You don't want to be like her, right? Otherwise, who would dare to hire your designers?" It seemed that Nancy had already heard about Norah's case.

After all, Norah was still being detained in the police station.

If Penny were the mastermind behind that car accident, she would probably have been held right now.
