Chapter 32 Nancy Is Satisfied with Penny
Penny stood at the door of the restaurant, feeling a dilemma.
Colin was right behind her and said softly, "The woman sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling window over there is my mother. She is not easy to fool, and if I can walk out alive today, you will be my savior." The corners of Penny's lips twitched, and she unconsciously bent her head to hide her face, but Nancy had already looked over.
Upon noticing her gaze, Colin stiffened.
"Sorry to offend you."
With that, he took Penny by the waist and led her towards Nancy.
Nancy's gaze was sharp, and she glanced up and down at the two of them.
In a gentlemanly manner, Colin drew out a chair for Penny, and his eyes were smiling.
"Mom, this is my girlfriend, and she is an interior designer. Just call her Penny." Penny's mind was blank, and after sitting down, her rationality slowly returned.
"Judging from Nancy's expression, she probably doesn't know me," she thought.
Penny breathed a sigh of relief and then said to herself in her heart, "Fortunately, I'm about to divorce Orlando and will soon have nothing to do with the Fletcher family. But now, in order to repay Mr. Levine's favor, I have to pretend to be his girlfriend."
Therefore, she greeted, "Nice to meet you, Ms. Fletcher."
Penny's facial features were very exquisite and strong. Coupled with her fair skin and unique demeanor, she was clearly different from those pretentious and pettish girls that Colin used to like. Nancy withdrew her gaze and was very satisfied with Penny.
"I thought you would casually find a woman to fool me. Colin, you've really grown up."
Colin did plan to casually find a woman to meet Nancy, and he even went to one of his ex-girlfriends for help. Unexpectedly, while buying her a gift, he made a mistake and was slapped on the spot. Fortunately, the slap was not very heavy, and the fingerprints on his face were not visible for the time being.
"Mom, Perry is very outstanding. You should know Royal Green, the new house Orlando bought, right? She's the interior designer of it. Therefore, don't worry, I really haven't been dating those dubious women anymore."
Nancy knew that anyone who was chosen by Orlando was very capable.
The more she looked at Penny, the more satisfied she became. "Here's a gift for our first meeting."
Nancy took a bracelet from her wrist and handed it to Penny.
Penny didn't dare to accept it at all. "Ms. Fletcher, thanks for your kindness, but I can't take it. I didn't bring any gifts with me today."
Nancy glanced at Colin a little angrily and said, "Colin did not even buy you a gift, did he?"
She then looked at Penny's outfit and saw that although the fabric was good, the design was simple, and the bag in her hand was also cheap.
She put the bracelet directly around Penny's wrist and said, "Take it. This is what I have prepared for my future daughter-in-law. Don't feel stressed. I know my son well. He's still young and immature. If you are afraid that you two will not make it to the end, that's fine. Even if you break up with him one day, the gift I gave you is still yours."
Penny pursed her lips and decided to give it back to Colin later.
Nancy looked at her son with relief.
"It seems that I have made the right decision to put you in the Fletcher Group."
"Mom, I came here today for this. I was too busy at the Fletcher Group to spend much time with Perry. Therefore, I don't want to stay at the Fletcher Group anymore. Can you tell Orlando about this? I promise, as long as you help me this time, I'll give you a grandson within two years."
Nancy put Colin to work at the Fletcher Group, not just to exercise him but to keep him away from dubious women.
Now that she knew Colin had a good girlfriend, she naturally did not want him to lose Penny because of his busy schedule.
Her gaze turned to Penny, and her tone was gentle.
She asked, "Perry, can you help me keep an eye on Colin?"
Penny nodded. Although her expression was faint, it was extremely sincere. "Please don't worry, Ms. Fletcher. Colin is actually a very honest and righteous man."
Upon hearing this, Nancy chuckled and said to Colin, "Fine, you don't need to go back to the Fletcher Group later. Just go out and date Penny to deepen your relationship."
Colin's eyes lit up, for his goal today was achieved.
After a happy meal, Colin said goodbye to Nancy. Then he grabbed Penny's wrist and left with her.
He did not let go of her until they were in the car. "Sorry, my mother really doesn't like my previous girlfriends, and she has only shown a relatively good face to my ex-girlfriend. That was why I wanted her to ac with me in front of my mother."
Penny took the bracelet from her wrist and said, "Here you are.
"I really can't accept it. Judging from its color and patterns, it should be very expensive. And, Ms. Fletcher has also said that this is for her future daughter-in-law."
Seeing her so persistent, Colin took it over and said, "Don't worry, I'll introduce more clients to you in the future. I'll also hand over the houses under my name to you to design. By the way, where do you live now? Let me drive you back."
Penny gave him the address of her apartment.
What neither of them knew was that on their way back, Nancy had arrived at the Fletcher Group and was sitting in Orlando's office.
"Nancy, why did you suddenly come over?"
Nancy sat down on the sofa, and her eyes were still smiling as she thought of the girl she had just met.
"It's indeed the right decision to put Colin in your company. I'm very satisfied with his new girlfriend."
Orlando was surprised that Colin had a new girlfriend now.
He couldn't help but frown, and Nancy continued, "I have just met the girl for the first time, and I didn't ask too much. I heard from Colin that the girl is now designing a house for you. Have you had any contact with her? How about her family background and working abilities?"
