Chapter 208 She Had Dinner With Him
When Penny returned to Hills Villa, she saw the car parked outside and knew that Orlando was there.
She froze.
She stepped back almost subconsciously and left Hills Villa quickly.
But now she was not in a good mood. Her newly bought house was full of problems, and the Stuart
family had just bullied her. When she returned to Hills Villa, she ran into Orlando, her husband in name
only, and needed to hide.
His eyes turned red, and she casually found a bench around Hills Villa.
The night wind was a bit cold, and she shrank her shoulders, feeling a tight pain in her chest.
When she considered returning to Rose Residence, a pair of black leather shoes stopped before her.
She was stunned for a moment. She looked up and saw Orlando stopping in front of her, looking down
at her.
Penny's heart skipped a beat, and all her emotions suddenly disappeared. She was wondering whether
Orlando had known her identity.
"Penny? I thought I saw it wrong."
How could he appear near Hills Villa? Was he passing by? Or was he walking his dog as before?
Penny's mind was racing.
"Mr. Fletcher, I said I would treat you to dinner during the day. I happened to pass by here just now. I
wanted to call you. Did you have time?"
The lights here were not bright. Her eyes, which had been soaked in tears, were moist and clear now. Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
She had probably been crying just now. But she quickly hid her fragility because of his appearance.
Was it because of work or family?
He somehow thought of the man she had seen.
Orlando would not associate such a man with Penny if it weren't for the man picking up Penny that day.
It was not that he looked down on ordinary people. It was just that a couple should be well-matched.
He was just an ordinary clerk with a third-rate college degree and normal appearance.
Penny was a top student of the School of Arts at Chatville University. She had good looks and a good
temperament. The design fee for any single design of hers was more than 150 thousand dollars.
Logically speaking, such a man should not interact with Penny, but that man turned out to be her
husband, and Penny seemed utterly devoted to him.
He didn't quite understand.
Did women nowadays have such low standards for a husband?
He didn't have the habit of eating late at night and kept a strict schedule.
But she looked pretty upset with lowered eyes.
He said, "What would you like to eat?"
Penny was stunned and looked up at him.
Orlando was standing there casually with no expression on his face.
Penny knew that Orlando was very particular about eating because of stomach problems. When he
was not working overtime, he had a very regular schedule and did not eat anything late at night.
She had just said something casually to excuse herself. But with his reply, she somehow didn't know
what to eat.
Finally, she decided to have dinner with him at a restaurant near the office building.
When Penny sat down, she was still in a daze. Was she having dinner with Orlando?
Orlando sat across from her, looked at the menu, and ordered a set meal for two.
He had never eaten in this kind of restaurant, and he'd rarely eaten out with girls alone, so he had no
idea that a two-person set meal in the restaurant was mostly for couples.
Penny didn't think about this at all.
Penny was stunned when someone brought a bowl of fresh rose petals and spread them on the table
before them.
Orlando was relatively calm and glanced at the waiter. The waiter smiled.
The waiter said with a smile, "Enjoy your meal."
Orlando frowned. Penny said, "Mr. Fletcher, you probably don't go out to eat with women often. The
two-person set meal in this restaurant is mostly for couples."
Penny sounded calm and not embarrassed at all. Orlando somehow felt slightly upset, "Well, you know
it very well. Do you often go out to eat with your husband?"
