Pampered by My Ex-husband (Penny and Orlando)

Chapter 237 He's Only My Employer

After leaving the villa, Penny still felt incredibly embarrassed, as if she was on fire.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down quickly. After all, she needed to deal with Noah's matter as soon as possible so that she could return to Chatville in peace.

Penny had already looked up information about the leader, Carter Wade. He had a good demeanor in private and was diligent in his work, nearly flawless. He had Noah cornered, clearly because Noah had provoked him.

After all, no one could bear it if their own son had to get over twenty stitches.

Penny did some research and finally found a photo of Carter and Clark on the official account of Prodale County. The photo showed that last year, they stood together to cut the ribbon for a certain project. After reading this content, Penny called Clark.

Clark quickly answered the call.

"Perry, what's up? Do you miss me?"

Penny pretended not to hear that and instead asked, "Mr. Mckay, did you know a leader surnamed Wade when you visited Prodale County last year?"

Clark had long taken over his family business earlier and met so many people every year that he might not remember this name.

Penny sent him the photo of the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

"It's the man in this photo. See if you know him."

Clark had a vague impression and chuckled. "It seems that there is always a purpose behind your calls. Anyway, what can I help you with?"

Penny told Clark about Noah. Clark rubbed his forehead.

"Hasn't the Fletcher Group been in business dealings with Prodale County recently? It's a big project. Orlando should have been in contact with these leaders these days. Wouldn't it be better to ask him for help?"

Penny knew he was teasing her, but there was nothing she could do. After all, she was in need of help.

"Mr. Fletcher is extremely busy, and he doesn't have time to deal with my small matters. Besides, he's only my employer."

Clark laughed on the other end. "Alright, I'll give that leader a call. But even if he's willing to let it go for my sake and not report it to the police, your uncle still needs to compensate. His son had to get over twenty stitches. It's quite serious, you understand, right?"

"Mr. Mckay, I understand. As long as my cousin doesn't go to jail, that's all that matters."

After hanging up the phone, Penny heard a cough behind her and froze. She turned around and saw Orlando, Grace, Zane, and the leaders who had just been with Orlando. She didn't know how long they had been standing there.

Penny felt that her luck this year was really bad. Every time she talked about Orlando behind his back, he would show up. And the leader named Carter seemed to recognize her face. Just as he was about to speak, his phone rang.

It was a call from the boss in Chatville. He answered the call.

"Mr. Mckay, I hope you're doing well."

They exchanged some formalities before Clark mentioned Noah.

Now that his son was fine and the Glover family would compensate if he let Noah go and didn't call the police, he was willing to do Clark a favor.

After all, he still had to cooperate with Clark in the future. If Clark owed him a favor, Clark might give him a good price.

After agreeing, he exchanged a few more formalities with Clark and then hung up the phone.

Carter looked at Penny and smiled as he spoke.

Penny felt extremely uncomfortable. Clark's actions were too fast, and it happened at such an awkward time.

She felt that Orlando's gaze was full of mockery as if laughing at her for not being able to get her way from him and seeking help from someone else, even resorting to making phone calls to her suitor. Last time she had dinner with Clark and was caught by Orlando in the act.

But now that Carter agreed, Penny couldn't possibly refuse.

"Thank you, Mr. Wade. I'll have my cousin apologize."

"You can get Mr. Mckay's help. You're quite capable. Haha, let's know each other." Carter said politely and then turned to Orlando.

"Mr. Fletcher, let us send you off. This project is set. We'll be waiting for your people to come and develop it."

Orlando nodded, his gaze no longer on Penny.

Penny stood still like a statue. Until Orlando's car had left, she regretfully rubbed her forehead.

Alas.

She wondered how much of their conversation Orlando had overheard just now.
