Chapter 189 She Had to Adopt a Begging Attitude

Penny's work was going smoothly. She had finalized everything with the suppliers and was just about

to prepare for her trip to Prodale County the next day. However, she suddenly received several calls

from cooperating companies, and their tones became hesitant and evasive.

"Ms. Stuart, we're sorry, but we just received a notice that we can't fulfill your order. Please find another

company."

"But..."

Penny wanted to ask for more details, but the other party hung up.

She received four calls in a row, and all of them were cancellations.

Penny sat there, furrowing her brows.

Previously, Clark had caused trouble with Gael, resulting in the termination of their cooperation. Now,

Gael was still looking for her everywhere, but she didn't want to meet him. She only hoped that the

police would handle the matter.

Now that Clark had backed off and handed Valenworth Company to her, everything should have gone

smoothly. After all, she had been getting along well with the suppliers these past few days. So what

was going on now?

Where did things go wrong?

Penny couldn't figure it out. Then, the group chat in the studio became active, and Kale mentioned her,

asking if she had offended someone.

Penny replied with three words, "What was happening?"

Kale privately messaged her.

"Several designers in the studio have received cancellations, and the other party specifically mentioned

that you have offended someone. They hope you will leave the studio and give up the Royal Green

project."

This was even more serious than Clark's interception back then. It had already affected the studio.

Penny had never been well-liked in the studio, and now that she had been canceled, she was afraid

that there would be a lot of complaints over there.

"Penny, I have already fired Norah here. I heard she has been taken into custody by the police and will

have to pay a large sum of money in compensation."

When Norah was mentioned, a spark flashed through Penny's mind.

A name instantly came to mind and it was Nancy.

If she had offended someone recently, it would be Nancy.

Moreover, Abbey had spoken those words in front of Nancy.

In Nancy's mind, Penny was probably a fox using her appearance to seduce Orlando and Colin.

Nancy had always been strict with her son and had high expectations for Orlando. Naturally, she didn't

want these two men to be ruined by a designer.

Realizing this, Penny couldn't help but feel helpless.

She now had Nancy's phone number, but the other party probably wouldn't want to listen to her

explanation.

Moreover, if she were to talk about her relationship with Orlando, it would be hard to explain.

And based on her understanding of Nancy, although she came from the Fletcher family, she never

used her status to bully others. After hearing Abbey's words, she probably went to other people to

verify and confirm her suspicions before resorting to these means.

Penny was now caught in a dilemma.

If she were to go to Orlando, it would make her professional abilities seem weak. After all, it was her

connections that were causing the problems.

But who else could she turn to?

Who could persuade Nancy?

It was impossible to approach Colin, especially now that Abbey was watching her closely. If she were

caught contacting Colin again, it would only lead to more trouble.

Penny felt a headache coming on and couldn't understand how she had ended up in this situation.

Perhaps this year, she really should go and pay her respects to God.

After thinking it over, the only person she could think of was Orlando.

Orlando had a social engagement tonight and had been drinking a bit. Instead of returning to Hills Villa,

he went to a hotel.

Zane had driven the car away and would come to pick him up early tomorrow morning.

Orlando took out his phone and engaged in business communication with someone.

When he hung up, he accidentally came across the photo Colin had sent him, the one with Penny's

painting.

There was no denying that it had touched him.

Her artistic skill was excellent. Using only black and white, she rendered the scene beautifully.

Orlando had always enjoyed art and had attended many art exhibitions. So at a glance, he could tell

the skill of the person who painted it. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

He also remembered that night in Prodale County when he had encountered her, she was painting

alone under the lights.

Perhaps it was due to the alcohol, he found himself thinking about her more than usual.

The elevator doors opened, and he unexpectedly saw someone standing at the entrance.

Penny was holding a thermos in her hand. She had gone back to Hills Villa and knew that Orlando

wouldn't be there tonight, so she made soup and brought it over.

Although Orlando had previously said there was no need for her to bring him soup anymore, since she

was here to ask for a favor, she had to adopt a begging attitude.

"Mr. Fletcher."

Penny obediently called out, standing straight.

As Orlando approached, Penny caught a whiff of alcohol emanating from him.

It was similar to the Romanée-conti in the private room that night, but it seemed to be mixed with a

stronger aftertaste of another type of alcohol.

When Orlando saw her, his gaze flickered for a moment, and he silently walked to the entrance.

"What's up?"
