Pampered by My Ex-husband (Penny and Orlando)
Chapter 35 You Don't Have to Stay Here

Chapter 35 You Don't Have to Stay Here

Penny got in the car in a disturbed mood. When she arrived at the Fletcher's mansion, she was twenty minutes late.

The maid opened the door and saw Penny, a trace of displeasure flashing across her eyes.

She said, "Ms. Stuart, what do you come here again for? Mrs. Fletcher is not at home."

Penny didn't see anyone in the living room except several cleaning maids.

She raised her head and intended to ask if Orlando had come, but the maid turned around impatiently.

It was not surprising. Whenever Penny came, Keely gave her the cold shoulder. The maids were smart and knew Penny would be divorced sooner or later, so they didn't even bother to be polite to her.

"Who has come?"

The door to the garden was pushed open, and a pretty girl stood there and said with a faint smile, "Is she the new maid? She's good-looking."

There was no malice in her eyes, and she asked innocently.

The maid chuckled softly, a trace of contempt flashing across her eyes.

However, Penny was not angry as the maid expected and said lightly, "No. The maids here wear uniforms. I come to see Mr. Fletcher."

She was calm and didn't feel offended.

The girl realized she had asked a stupid question and quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, but I didn't notice that. Are you looking for my cousin? He left half an hour ago."

Cousin?

Penny looked Zoey up and down and smiled. "Okay. Thank you for telling me."

Zoey could see that Penny came for business and felt guilty for misunderstanding her, so she added.

"I guess my cousin has returned to the Fletcher group for a meeting. I heard him talking on the phone. I think he managed to find time to come back."

After she spoke, Zoey looked at the maid with a frown. "This lady is a guest. Why didn't you serve her tea? Don't you know how to treat a guest well?" The maid pressed her lips. When she was about to retort, Penny made a remark.

"It's okay."

The maid let out a sigh of relief. When she heard that Penny put in a good word for her, the maid got bold and said, "Ms. Fletcher, see? She said it was okay."

"Do you think so?" Zoey said coldly, "You don't have to stay here."

The maid was frightened. She was well-paid by the Fletcher family. If she lost the job...

She looked at Penny pleadingly, but the latter didn't say a word.

Penny was not offended if the maid treated her coldly one or two times, but the latter gave her the cold shoulder every time she came here, and that meant the maid didn't know what she should do. Moreover, it was not Penny's decision to fire the maid. A Fletcher intended to do that.

The maid turned pale and trembled all over, being taken out of the house.

Zoey looked at Penny and asked, "What are you to Orlando?"

"I'm an interior designer."

"I know. You're the designer for Royal Green. Everyone is inquiring about you. It's not easy to be chosen by my cousin."

A trace of excitement came across Zoey's eyes, and she took a few steps toward Penny. "I'm Zoey. I'm nineteen years old. You look my age. You're awesome."

Zoey was only nineteen years old and was adored by the whole family. She was like a princess in a fairy tale.

"Thank you. Getting this contract has been quite a coup for me."

Zoey was simple and had never suspected why an interior designer would come to see Orlando at Fletcher's mansion. If Penny had come for business, she should have gone to the Fletcher Group. "You're too modest. My compliment is sincere. I didn't expect you to be so pretty and capable. You're much better than Angie."

It was rare to meet someone she liked, and Zoey began to ramble. "I think you're prettier than Orlando's wife. I've never met her, so I don't know what she's like."

Penny pressed her lips slightly. Although she didn't show her face at Fletcher's mansion, she lived on the lips of everyone in the family.

Zoey was curious about Penny and pulled her to sit down. "I do have friends who are inquiring about you. I wonder if you have time. They'd like to invite you to look at their houses."

Penny had long ago known about the benefit of taking Orlando's order. She would get famous.

However, she was surprised. She chuckled softly and shook her head.

"Ms. Fletcher, I'm sorry, but I don't plan to take the other orders while I serve Mr. Fletcher. If your friends like to renovate their houses, they can go to my colleagues." "Oh, I see."

Zoey was disappointed, but her eyes soon lit up. "Since you're a designer, you must know about drawing. Follow me, please."

She took Penny's hand eagerly and headed upstairs.

Zoey was staying at Fletcher's mansion these days because it was close to the meeting place where she would sketch with her friends.

"Could you please look at this drawing? Are there any improvements I need to make? I've been thinking about it the whole afternoon."

Zoey pursed her lips and said, "I planned to ask my cousin to help me, but he looked sulky, so I didn't dare to mention it. I heard he was to meet his wife here, but she stood him up."
