Chapter 115 Forced to Put on a Show

Her tone turned somewhat melancholy as Zoey spoke, and her gaze toward Niko became even more

affectionate.

"Niko looks like that little dog. So cute! Perry, where do you live? Can I come over to play with it?"

After saying this, Zoey glanced behind her. This road seemed to lead to a villa, one of the more

expensive villa areas in Chatville.

This place was more than the prime real estate. When it was initially launched, most of the best villas

had already been reserved. Perry's coming from here indicated that she likely came from a well-off

family.

Penny could sense what Zoey was thinking and hurriedly explained.

"I just happened to pass by this area. This road is great for walking dogs, and the scenery is nice. But

my home isn't here. I've recently finished renting, and I'm moving soon. I'll let you know once I've

settled."

Zoey didn't doubt her words and continued to caress Niko's head, playing with it.

Penny looked at the canvas behind Zoey and noticed that she had only completed half of her painting.

It seemed like she had arrived not long ago.

"Aren't you going to continue painting?"

Zoey reluctantly removed her hand from Niko's head and picked up her paintbrush with irritation.

"I didn't have time last night. I have to finish it now. Ugh, it's due tomorrow."

"I'll take Niko somewhere else for a walk. By the way, happy birthday. I'll give you your gift later."

Since she was attending a birthday banquet, a gift was necessary.

Penny had prepared sketch pieces she had practiced before, highlighting key points.

Zoey didn't lack anything, and giving her jewelry or the like would seem tacky.

"Okay, thank you. If you're still renting, don't choose anything too expensive. I don't lack anything."

"Don't worry; you'll like it."

The two chatted for a bit longer, and Penny didn't want to linger here any further, fearing she might run

into someone she knew.

She took Niko and headed back, but when they neared Hills Villa, she saw Orlando's car slowly

passing. He was heading to Hills Villa, too.

Penny's whole body stiffened and instinctively stopped, pulling Niko behind a large tree. She didn't

want Orlando to see her.

Orlando now knew her identity; was he coming to confront her?

Zane, who was driving, saw her but only glanced at her in the rearview mirror. He noticed Orlando was

still in the middle of a meeting and wasn't sure if he should say anything.

Orlando caught a glimpse of a shadow outside the window from the corner of his eye and thought he

might be mistaken.

He wanted to look, but the car had already driven some distance, and Penny's figure disappeared in

the rearview mirror.

"Orlando, it's Perry; it seems like she's walking a dog." NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

It seemed he hadn't been mistaken.

A trace of doubt flickered in Orlando's eyes, but he didn't dwell on it further.

When the car arrived at Hills Villa, he got out.

Anika, guarding the entrance, was startled to see him return.

"Mr. Fletcher."

Orlando rarely came back during the day. Why was he back so early today?

"Mm."

Orlando entered the living room and found the woman wasn't there. He frowned.

Why was she often not at home?

Rex hadn't mentioned having a fixed job; until now, she had only been doing part-time work.

After all, what the Fletcher family could provide her was enough to live comfortably.

"Where is she?"

Anika's tone was respectful, and she didn't dare say that Penny had gone out to walk a dog. If Mr.

Fletcher found out there was a dog in Hills Villa, he might become furious.

"Ms. Stuart has something to do and is still outside. She should be back soon."

"Okay."

Orlando's tone was cold. He sat down slowly, and it seemed like he would wait for Penny to return.

Rex had requested that he go with Penny tonight, so Penny had to ride in his car.

He was reluctant deep down, but out of consideration for Rex's health, he had to put on a show with

this woman.
