Chapter 30 Penny's Threat
Lydia, whose ankle was already swollen, stumbled to her feet, ready to make her complaint.
"Orlando, this woman..."
Before she could finish speaking, Penny pointed to the monitor.
"You deliberately splashed coffee on me first. If you did that just to keep me away from Mr. Fletcher, then I think you don't understand him well enough."
Penny smiled and continued, "Everyone knows that Mr. Fletcher is not close to women and won't make such a low-level mistake."
"After all, it's not proper to be angry with someone in smiles. Therefore, even if Orlando really wants to embarrass me, he can't find a way to do so," she said in her heart. While thinking, she secretly smiled slyly.
Then she said to Lydia, "Ms. Bender, as a subordinate, how could you be in such a hurry to complain? I really don't know if it's for your so-called cousin or for yourself." Lydia was so angry that she even trembled. She thought, "How could this woman say so?
How dare she be so outspoken in front of Orlando?"
With that in mind, she said, "Orlando..."
Her tone was somewhat pitiful, and she looked more and more helplessly at Orlando, praying that he would speak up for her.
Orlando's gaze, however, passed over her and fell upon Penny.
Penny met his eyes calmly, and compared with Lydia's affectation, she was completely frank throughout the entire process. "Orlando, I really didn't mean it."
Lydia was a bit worried that she wouldn't be able to stay at the Fletcher Group. She said to herself, "If so, I won't be able to report to Angie again.
And, I'm really happy to be able to see Orlando's face up close."
Orlando avoided her outstretched hand, and his face was as usual. He was not misled by her at all, and he said casually, "We'll see after watching the surveillance whether you meant it or not." Lydia's face grew pale in an instant, and her hands, hanging at her sides, slowly tightened.
She thought, "Looks like Orlando is going to get to the bottom of this matter.
But didn't Angie tell him to take care of me when I first joined the company?
Why didn't he stand on my side?"
Penny also saw that Orlando was to look into it. She thought, "I'm not stupid, and I know that Orlando won't offend someone he likes just because of me.
He did say he wanted to check the surveillance, but it's probably just to give each other a step-down.
And I don't want to be involved in anything between Orlando and the Bender family."
With that in mind, Penny quickly figured out the pros and cons.
She then said, "Mr. Fletcher, there's no need to check the surveillance. Ms. Bender was just too nervous."
Everyone couldn't help but look over at her.
She had a pretty face, and her words were calm and gentle. "Anyway, there is no more misunderstanding now."
Hearing that, no one knew what to say for a moment.
Lydia was even more embarrassed.
Orlando narrowed his eyes slightly and said to Zane beside him, "Take her to the dressing room, and have someone bring another outfit for her."
Zane nodded and quickly turned to Penny. "Ms. Perry, this way, please."
Penny really couldn't leave with such a messy look, so she could only follow Zane.
And Lydia, who was left in place, bit her lips hard and cursed in her heart, "What a bitch!"
Seeing that Orlando had already entered the conference room and didn't seem to intend to interfere with this matter anymore, Lydia secretly followed Penny.
Penny had just entered the dressing room when she heard Lydia's voice coming from behind.
"Your tricks can fool others, but not me. Erin has shown me pictures of you and Orlando dining together at a hotel. You are clearly a bitch, but you refuse to admit it. Are you not ashamed?"
Hearing that, Penny couldn't help but think, "No wonder she was so determined to embarrass me as soon as we met. It turns out that someone had encouraged her beforehand."
Penny felt funny as she wiped the coffee stains from her clothes and raised her eyebrows.
"Ms. Bender, I remember that Mr. Fletcher is married, so from what perspective did you intervene in his personal life? After all, your cousin has not married into the Fletcher family yet, but she is so openly coveting someone else's husband. How embarrassing will it be if Mrs. Fletcher knows it?"
