Chapter 88 Her Nervous Hiding
Chapter 88 Her Nervous Hiding
She immediately sat up straight. If Anika saw this car and couldn't resist coming to pick her up, everything would be laid bare.
And Niko, she had to call Anika to hide it. Otherwise, as soon as Orlando arrived, he might have an immediate and severe allergic reaction, given that he had seen Niko before and would undoubtedly recognize it right away.
Just as she reached for her phone, she heard Zane, seated in the front, inquiring, "Orlando, Rex mentioned that the designated wedding room is just nearby. He will be here in about two days to inspect your living arrangements."
Actually, Zane also disliked Penny.
After all, everything the Stuart family had done since the engagement with the Fletcher family was quite despicable.
In his opinion, it was Penny who had saved Rex, allowing them this opportunity to develop.
The first round of financing was thanks to the Fletcher Group's help, and now it seemed that the second round of financing, worth an estimated 3 billion, also required their assistance.
What's worse, the Stuart family seemed to take advantage of Penny to seize any opportunities to keep in touch with Orlando.
What a greedy family they were!
However, Rex particularly liked Penny and cared about their marriage. Even before returning, he had already planned to visit their wedding room personally.
Love could be faked, but the traces of their living cannot be disguised.
Orlando had never been to Hills Villa thus far, naturally, there was nothing of his own there. Once Rex enters there to check, everything will be exposed.
And so, this was precisely why Zane had driven them here.
He had guided Orlando to Hills Villa. After all, Orlando cared little about his marriage, not even the wedding room.
Indeed, when Orlando heard this, his expression darkened.
The distance to Hills Villa was less than 200 meters.
Its beautiful scenery and peaceful surroundings truly proved Rex's appreciation for Penny.
Neither of them noticed Penny's unnatural expression.
She quickly called Anika.
Anika picked up the call with a cheerful tone.
"Ms. Stuart, are you back? Niko seems quite restless at home, almost as if it sensed your arrival."
"Take care of it!" Penny's voice quivered with anxiety as if she could already hear the dog's barks.
Anika was stunned by her rare urgency.
But Anika, being astute, quickly got the situation. "Is Mr. Fletcher on his way? If so, I'll hide Niko immediately." Penny could not help sighing her agility.
What a smart assistance that Rex left to her!
Before replying to her inquiry, Penny stole a quick glance at Orlando, careful not to reveal too much in her words. When noticing that he had no idea about what she was discussing, she finally said, "Yes, please hurry up."
After Anika ended the call, she swiftly picked up Niko and retreated to the room she had prepared before.
Located at the rear of the villa, that room was well hidden, ensuring that even Niko's barks would go unheard as long as one stayed close.
As for Mr. Fletcher, he definitely wouldn't be leisurely strolling around the villa.
Then she hurriedly summoned the few remaining servants to disinfect the villa.
Meanwhile, the car arrived at the gate.
Orlando had never set foot in this prepared "wedding room", and as he arrived now, he felt an inexplicable resistance.
Zane caught a glimpse of his reaction through the rearview mirror.
He cautiously suggested, "Let me bring your things here next time. You don't have to enter yourself. It won't make trouble when Rex insists on having a meal here."
Orlando raised his hand to rub his forehead and then nodded.
Upon witnessing Orlando's response, Penny, keeping nervous all the way, sighed with relief.
But Orlando was highly sensitive to others' emotions.
He noticed her change and questioned, "Why are you so nervous?"
