Pampered by My Ex-husband (Penny and Orlando) novel Chapter 161

Chapter 161 The Toad Eating Swan Meat

The phone was in Penny's pocket, and she had no idea who was calling her tonight. Even if she had silenced it, the calls kept coming one after another.

It seemed that Penny hadn't checked her horoscope before going out today.

The phone kept ringing persistently, as if it would never stop if she didn't answer.

At this point, Penny felt trapped with no way out. She contemplated how she would explain herself to Orlando once he saw her face clearly, hoping to prevent him from immediately blacklisting her.

On this stormy night, with thunder rumbling outside, the only sound indoors was the ringing phone.

Penny lowered her head, intending to take out her phone.

"Mr. Fletcher, actually, I..."

Before she could finish her sentence, another thunderclap sounded from outside the window, although there was no lightning, so the room remained pitch black.

Because of this sudden thunder, Orlando, for a moment, couldn't quite catch the change in her tone of voice.

Otherwise, he would have instantly recognized her as his designer.

However, at this moment, all he could hear was the thunder and the ringing phone.

Penny had given up and figured out how to apologize.

But just as she took out her phone from her pocket, it suddenly went completely dark.

It wasn't Penny who had silenced it; the battery had died, and the phone shut down.

She had been in a rush when she went out tonight and stayed at the hospital the whole night. Therefore, she hadn't had a chance to charge her phone. With it continuously ringing just now, the battery finally drained.

How fortunate.

It was so coincidental that Penny wondered if she had saved the galaxy in her previous life, which is why she still had a chance at this point.

Orlando also noticed that her phone had shut down. They were now close to each other, and her scent was even more familiar, but he couldn't recall where he had encountered it before.

"Mr. Fletcher, I'm new here and accidentally broke a dish earlier. I'm a bit nervous."

It turned out that she was squatting there sneakily, picking up the broken pieces of the bowl.

She didn't know where the fuse was because she was new.

"Anika said we must be fully focused when facing you, and we're all afraid of making mistakes."

When she said these words, her voice was very low and filled with fear.

Orlando frowned and released her wrist.

He was not used to being too close to women; having their skin touching made him uncomfortable. Grabbing her wrist just now was an unconscious act.
