Chapter 83 She Wanted to Confess Her Identity
Chapter 83 She Wanted to Confess Her Identity
His heart melted for no reason, and he looked away. "Come in."
Penny followed him into his room for fear that Orlando might regret it.
There was an extra desk in the room. On the desk was a computer opening and a lot of files.
Orlando seemed to be always very busy. Even if he was on a business trip, he still carried many files with him.
Only at that moment did Penny realize that he could be chosen as the successor, perhaps not only because of his talent but also his hard work.
Not everyone was born capable of this job and taking on this responsibility.
She consciously didn't go near the table where the computer was placed, but casually found a chair and sat down.
Orlando walked to the desk, opened a file, and continued to review it with a pen.
When he was working, he became colder and more unapproachable.
Penny watched his silhouette. The lights seemed to come through him, and a hazy shadow was left on the floor, and even his hair had dyed a layer of gold. She suddenly had an itch to replace a paintbrush to draw him.
This scene was really captivating with the lights, his silhouette, and the atmosphere.
Her stomach seemed not to ache badly.
Could his charm help alleviate her pain?
Penny fixed her eyes on Orlando until someone knocked on the door outside. Orlando said, "Come in."
Zane walked in with the food. Seeing Penny, he paused and then walked on.
"Mr. Fletcher, please finish your meal first. There is a meeting at eight o'clock. It'll last for an hour. Then an overseas meeting at nine past thirty."
Orlando put down the file in his hand. When he saw that there was only a set of cutlery, he said, "Get another set of cutlery."
Zane put down the food and asked someone to get another set.
Penny went over before Orlando invited her. Because she was too hungry and even the smells made her mouth water.
As soon as she sat down, her stomach grumbled, which made her blush with embarrassment.
Orlando certainly heard that and a smile flashed in his eyes.
Although he didn't laugh at her, Penny still felt embarrassed and wished the floor would open up and swallow her. Zane quietly went out.
The food was all very light. In particular, the porridge was just suitable for Penny with a stomach problem.
She didn't dare to bother Orlando to scoop the porridge for her. So she hurriedly stood up to take the soup ladle, but Orlando beat her to it. After scooping the porridge, Orlando placed it in front of her. Penny was stunned. Maybe because she was in a bad mood today, she didn't know how to respond to his kindness. So she only raised her head to look at him subconsciously.
Orlando just did it casually. But when he saw the touch in her eyes, his heart softened again, and even he couldn't tell what that was like.
"Eat."
Only then did Penny come back to her senses. She quickly took a spoon and began to eat.
The porridge tasted good. After just one bite, her stomach became warm.
These light dishes were specially prepared by the chef for Orlando, and all the ingredients were very fresh.
That relieved her fatigue briefly.
Penny usually ate like a bird. But this time she had a bowl of porridge.
Just as she put down the bowl, Orlando's mobile phone rang.
Seeing the flashing name on it, he seemed to frown before answering the phone.
"Grandpa."
"Orlando, I'll arrive in Chatville in about two days. Take Penny to pick me up, okay?"
Orlando was surprised and subconsciously wanted to refuse. Thinking of his poor health, Orlando hesitated and then said "Grandpa, I'm still on a business trip. I'm not sure if I can get back in two days. Just her to pick you up."
Rex coughed and said, "No way. You must pick me up together and then have dinner with me."
Orlando took a deep breath. Although he disliked that woman, having dinner with her wasn't a big deal, for Rex's sake.
"Okay, I'll come with her then."
After hearing his answer, Rex smiled and was going to call Penny.
After hanging up the phone, Orlando lost his appetite in an instant and raised his hand to rub the space between his eyebrows.
Penny had heard their conversation clearly. Rex would be back soon, and it was inevitable to visit him.
Because Orlando treated her well tonight, she even wanted to confess her identity.
"Mr. Fletcher, actually, I'm..."
