Chapter 242 She's Trying to Seduce You
Orlando's expression was dull, and his brows furrowed, but he looked somewhat seductive.
Grace's heart raced and her cheeks turned red.
"I'll have Zane send you out," Orlando said coldly.
Grace's heart sank instantly, and her eyes welled up with tears.
"I saw, you went to meet Perry in the restroom during dinner."
When Orlando got up from the table, Grace followed him and saw the two of them standing at the restroom door.
The atmosphere was clearly suggestive.
Besides, when Orlando returned to the table, he seemed even colder, especially after hearing Perry's conversation on the phone with Clark.
Grace felt strange in her heart, but what could be going on between them?
"So what?"
He stood in the doorway, cold and distant.
Grace bit her lip, uncertain of his attitude.
"Isn't Perry married? I think she's trying to seduce you."
She hadn't intended to target Penny, but Penny's beauty threatened her.
And it seemed like she could even affect Orlando's emotions? Grace wasn't too sure about that.
"Orlando, you're not really falling for her, are you?"
There was no emotional fluctuation in Orlando's eyes, but a layer of coldness covered his face. "Grace, I'm married."
"So it's none of your business whether I'm falling for her or not. I'll have Zane escort you out."
Grace's eyes instantly turned red, and she stomped her foot.
"Who likes you, wail wail!" Grace left, crying.
Orlando rubbed his forehead, went back inside, and closed the door.
Zane brought a pile of new documents when he came over.
"Mr. Fletcher, the president of the Mckay Group, Mr. Mckay called and said..."
Orlando took out a pen and started reviewing the documents. "What did he say?"
"He said that Mrs. Fletcher encountered some trouble. If you don't like her and don't want to help her, can he pursue her?"
As a playboy, Clark wanted to pursue someone else's wife and actually gave her husband a heads-up.
Orlando couldn't help but laugh at his audacity, and an image of Penny's face instantly appeared in his mind.
It was said that Clark wasn't picky about women, and sure enough, it was true. And he changed targets so quickly.
"Let him be."
He coldly spat out those three words
as he worked. "If that woman can love him so much that she begs.me for a divorce, I'll thank him. It'd save me from constantly being bothered by her."
Zane silently lowered his head, thinking about how much he disliked his wife.
"Mr. Fletcher, here is tomorrow's schedule. Once it ends tomorrow, we can go back."
The basic construction of the project had been finalized, but since it involved cooperation with the government, Orlando still needed to personally visit a few locations. "No rush, I'll go back in two weeks."
Otherwise, he didn't know what tricks his grandfather would come up with.
"But Ms. Bender has already booked
a flight for the day after tomorrow
She tried to call you tonight but
couldn't get through. She said she
wanted to have dinner."
Orlando fell silent for a moment and then he lowered his lashes. "Then I'll go back tomorrow."
"Alright."
The next morning, Zane drove behind the cars of the leaders. The leaders knew that Orlando was leaving soon. Today was his last visit.
But on the way back, the cars circled around and encountered a parked car on another road.
Prodale County was poor, and the mountain roads were narrow and dilapidated, with no signs of development. This car directly blocked the road.
Simon, who was driving ahead, immediately got out of the car. But when he approached the car window and saw the person inside, he was startled. Wasn't this Philip's niece?
"Knock, knock, knock!"
Penny heard someone knocking on the car window. Her eyebrows furrowed, and she looked outside at the glaring sunlight before getting up and getting out of the car. Her clothes were still wet, her face pale from being cold all night.
Simon was shocked. "What's going on? Are you here to visit the grave in the middle of the night?"
"Simon, I'm sorry. My car broke down, and I can't drive back."
Simon immediately made a call to have a tow truck come and tow the car.
But because her car was blocking the road, the cars behind couldn't move forward, and everyone had to wait.
Simon had no choice but to turn and go to Orlando's car, explaining the situation and sighing.
"She's pitiful. Her mother passed
away early, and her father remarried.
I heard her husband was unreliable.
Mr. Fletcher, can she come and warm herself in your car? She's all soaked."
Orlando was silent, and when he heard about Penny's background, his grip on the document tightened a lot.
