Pampered by My Ex-husband (Penny and Orlando) novel Chapter 9

Chapter 9 I'm Your Boss' Wife

The next morning, Penny used foundation to cover up the red mark on her face before going to the studio. The studio was in a commercial building and occupied two floors.

She worked part-time, so she did not need to go there on weekdays but must attend the monthly summary meeting.

Kale was always the first to come but hadn't arrived yet today. It was not until half an hour after the meeting had started that he arrived. He was wearing the same suit as yesterday and looked pressed for time.

Penny instantly paused spinning the pen in her hand, feeling something else had happened to him.

"Sorry, I am late today."

Kale walked to his seat and sat down. Noticing Penny's worried face, he apologetically smiled. Then, others finished summarizing their work one by one.

After the meeting, Penny planned to leave with everyone else. But seeing Kale still sitting in the seat, she couldn't help walking over and asking, "What's wrong?"

Kale wearily raised his hand to rub his brows and said, "Something happened to Clare's family."

His voice was hoarse, so she guessed he hadn't slept all night.

His lips moved, but he hesitated to speak.

"Is it serious?"

Kale kept silent for a few minutes. But at the thought of the decision he might make, he still replied, "I'm considering selling the studio. But I don't know how to tell everyone about my decision."

Penny was shocked to hear this. The studio was on the rise, so she had not expected him to be so short of money that he wanted to sell it.

He had made painstaking efforts for the studio for the past few years. If he were not at the end of his rope, he would not have considered selling it.

"How much money do you need?"

"At least twenty million dollars."
