Penny quickly composed herself, wearing a perfect smile.
"I just feel like I accidentally overheard your personal matters, Mr. Fletcher, so I feel a bit awkward."
After all, if these details were to leak to the media, tomorrow's headlines wouldn't be difficult to
anticipate.
There had been no rumors about his marital status for years. Once this news got out, it would create
quite a stir.
As the heir to the Fletcher Group and one of the youngest business magnates, Orlando had already
made a name.
Even during his time in Silicon Valley, his achievements had been reported by The Times.
It was no surprise that Rex held him in high regard.
Naturally, his private life would attract much attention.
Orlando closed the file on his knee. "Ms Perry knows how to keep things discreet," he stated calmly.
Then he cast his gaze towards Hills Villa outside.
Zane assumed he was about to enter, but all Orlando requested was, "Arranged for someone to bring
my clothes here later."
Zane nodded and made a turn ahead.
Then he courteously addressed Penny, "Ms. Stuart, allow me to drive you to your apartment."
Penny's apartment had been sold, and she was currently waiting to sign the contract to finalize the
transfer. It would be convenient to handle the matter now and get the paperwork done.
"Sure, thank you," Penny replied gratefully.
"We should be the ones thanking you, Ms. Stuart," Zane responded cordially.
Silence enveloped the car as it eventually arrived at the apartment.
Meanwhile, the car designated to pick up Orlando had already arrived.
Orlando swiftly departed, leaving Penny behind.
She stood in front of her own car, ensuring that they wouldn't return. Then she called the real estate
agent, informing them that she was ready to sign the contract.
The agent had been waiting for her call, so the contract was signed successfully within half an hour.
Now, all Penny had to do was wait for the bank to transfer the money.
She drove back to Hills Villa and noticed Anika anxiously waiting outside, which made her amused.
"Anika."
Anika extended her neck and glanced behind her, making sure no one else was there.
Then she let out a sigh of relief and then inquired with curiosity, "Ms. Stuart, what's going on?"
"It's nothing, I just worried that Mr. Fletcher might show up. I still have some things in the car, could you
please bring them down for me?"
In fact, Anika hadn't seen Orlando. Such an unexpected meeting would definitely make her anxious as
well.
Given that he hadn't arrived, she felt considerably more at ease.
Anika promptly arranged for someone to unload the items from the car.
After putting away the food in the refrigerator, she noticed a delicate handbag.
Anika asked, "Ms. Stuart, what's this?"
Penny took a quick glance at the bag and realized that she had forgotten to return Orlando's shirt.
"That belongs to someone else. Give it to me," she replied and then took the bag to retreat to her room.
She needed rest as sitting in the car for an extended period had left her tired.
She slept until the evening, awakening refreshed.
After freshening up, Penny descended the stairs. Recalling what Orlando had mentioned in the car, she
informed Anika to clean up the room.
"Anika, please clean up the guest bedroom furthest from the master bedroom. If Mr. Fletcher sends
something over; he will definitely put it in the master bedroom."
Anika grew somber and then let out a sigh.
"Ms. Stuart, should I inform Rex about Mrs. Moran's mistreatment towards you? Rex often calls to
inquire about you, thinking that you and Mr. Fletcher are getting along well," she added, "Now, Mrs.
Moran even doesn't allow you to share a bedroom. How can the hostess sleep in the guest bedroom?"
Anika couldn't bear it any longer. Although she had been instructed by Rex, she had developed a
strong affection for Penny over the years, treating her like her own daughter.
"Anika, there's no need," Penny responded calmly, "this marriage will eventually come to an end, and
not sharing a room sounds better. And I don't wish to have any further involvement with him before the
divorce."
Anika had no choice but to fulfill Penny's request and arrange the guest bedroom.
Penny's belongings in the master bedroom were moved into the room farthest from it in the corridor.
The distance between these two rooms was now the greatest.
In fact, Penny didn't have much stuff, so the task was completed quickly.
Penny decided to sleep in the guest room tonight.
Before going to bed, she sent the renderings to Orlando, waiting for his response. If he didn't reply as
he had done in the past, she might have to create a construction plan and search for a construction
team directly.
The next morning, Penny received only one word from Orlando: "Yes."
This left Penny a bit frustrated. It was the first time she had encountered such indifference from a client.
She had to inquire further, "Does Mr. Fletcher need a third-party supervisor?"
Such supervisors are usually hired by the homeowner to oversee the construction process and provide
real-time feedback to the client. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
However, it seemed that Orlando wanted to remain completely hands-off, allowing the project to
progress more swiftly.
"It's not necessary," Orlando replied.
Penny pondered the situation.
After all, this house was designed for his loved one. Shouldn't he let Ms. Bender check the renderings?
