Pampered by My Ex-husband (Penny and Orlando) novel Chapter 116

Chapter 116 I'll Take You to the Hospital

Seeing that Orlando intended to wait for Penny there, Anika began to feel anxious. She hoped that Ms. Stuart would return quickly.

Although Ms. Stuart mentioned that she had no emotional connection with Mr. Fletcher, Anika didn't want their relationship to deteriorate.

Mr. Fletcher's time was precious, and it was evident that he didn't like Ms. Stuart. Now, he was willing to wait here. If Ms. Stuart took too long, Mrs. Moran might give her a hard time again.

Anika quickly found a secluded corner and called Penny.

"Ms. Stuart, Mr. Fletcher is waiting here for you. Should we tie Niko outside for now?"

If Penny returned now and Niko barked, Orlando would notice since she had to pass by that way.

Penny knew Orlando had come to confront her, and the worst-case scenario was that they would terminate their cooperation.

Even worse, Orlando might publicly announce that he would never collaborate with the studio where she worked.

Penny's brow furrowed, and she held the dog leash, thinking about how to explain herself.

Initially, she thought they would divorce soon and didn't feel the need to explain.

But no one could have predicted that things would escalate to this point. Considering Orlando's cold attitude towards her, she felt it didn't matter anymore. A sincere apology would suffice.

But she couldn't tell him that Niko lived at Hills Villa. So she returned to find Zoey, hoping that Zoey could watch Niko for a while. Once she had dealt with Orlando, she would return to pick up Niko to avoid making Orlando even more annoyed due to his allergies to dog hair.

Zoey readily agreed, and they quickly made the arrangements.

This delay took about twenty minutes in total. Penny began to run back to Hills Villa, worried that Orlando might become impatient.

But just as she reached a spot less than a hundred meters from Hills Villa, she saw Orlando's car driving out of the villa.

His face was somewhat darkened, and twenty minutes had already tested his patience. Even for essential business partners, he wouldn't tolerate more than a five-minute delay, let alone Penny, who had stood him up twice.

His brow furrowed as he saw Penny through the car window.

Penny, surprised by the sight of Orlando's car and in a rush, stumbled and fell as she twisted her foot.

The pain was excruciating, and a cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

The car slowed beside her, and the window rolled down, revealing Orlando's stern face.
