Pampered by My Ex-husband (Penny and Orlando)

Chapter 16 A Slip of the Tongue

Chapter 16 A Slip of the Tongue

When Orlando stood by the bathtub, the splashed water wetted his trousers. The reaction of his private

part made him unable to deceive himself. Moreover, the sporadic memories of that night were flashing

back into his mind.

He had never expected a woman's words could turn him on. So, he hoarsely said, "Get out by yourself

if you are sober."

Penny's clothes were wet, clearly outlining her curvy body. Her long black hair was sticking to her

cheeks, so she looked innocent but sexy like a nixie suddenly jumping out of a pool.

When the heat in her body started to increase again, she smiled at him and struggled to get out of the

bathtub.

Orlando pushed her back with a stern face, turned on the shower, and sprayed cold water on her head.

His movements were not gentle. They could even be regarded as rude.

Penny was forced to close her eyes. She had only had sex once when being unconscious, so it was

hard for her to resist the heat brought by the drug. She felt so uncomfortable that she was about to

collapse.

Orlando decreased his strength, planning to leave her alone and let her sober herself up. But before he

could stand up, she grabbed his collar and pulled him forward.

Her face magnified in his eyes. When their lips touched, one was cold, and the other was hot.

Bang!

When the shower head fell off his hand to the ground, his Adam's apple rolled up and down. After

returning to his senses, he got up and walked out without checking on Penny in the bathtub.

Bang!

He slammed the bathroom door shut. Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Back in the living room, he silently sat on the sofa and coldly glanced out of the window.

When Zane came in, he felt the temperature was extremely low as if everything were about to freeze.

Noticing Orlando's trousers half wet, he slightly frowned, wondering why he hadn't changed them. But

he didn't dare to ask about it.

"Mr. Fletcher, this is the document for tomorrow. And the online meeting will start in about half an hour."

When Orlando indifferently nodded, there was suddenly a sound of a heavy object falling to the ground

from the bathroom. He frowned and ignored it.

But Zane suspiciously glanced at the closed bathroom door, wondering whether he had had a

hallucination just now. And he suspected someone was in there.

When he was about to leave after reporting the itinerary, Orlando suddenly ordered, "Buy a set of

ladies' clothes and send it here later."

Zane was surprised to hear it because he had never expected Mr. Fletcher to have a love affair. And he

wondered who the woman in the bathroom was.

"What size?"

Orlando recalled Penny's figure and frowned, "Free size."

After Zane nodded and walked out, Orlando lowered his head to read the document without getting up

to check on the woman in the bathroom. If it weren't for his good breeding, he would have long thrown

her out.

After reviewing the document, he turned on his laptop to attend the online meeting.

"I don't want to hear lengthy reports. Focus on the key points."

All the other participants at the meeting dared not say much, guessing he was in a bad mood tonight.

After soaking in cold water for almost an hour in the bathroom, Penny finally sobered up. After she

looked around, her face turned pale. She hurriedly lowered her head to check herself. Fortunately, she

was still wearing clothes.

Was she in a hotel?

She stood up against the wall and bit her lower lip hard, making her soberer with the pain. She

remembered two men had helped her into the car but did not know what had happened next.

Looking at herself blushing in the mirror, she frowned when some fragments flashed through her mind.

She had met Orlando and...

Penny felt an explosion in her mind when she remembered she had grabbed him and said those

shameless words. She was so embarrassed that her body began to burn, and her mind briefly went

blank. After a long mental preparation, she opened the bathroom door and saw Orlando calmly sitting

on the sofa.

Listening to the report in the meeting, he didn't notice her come out. When he was about to point out an

error, she cautiously said, "Orlando. No! Mr. Fletcher!"

She had been so nervous and kept thinking about her clownish behaviors just now, so she had a slip of

the tongue.

Penny's nails almost cut into her palms when she said, "I'm sorry. I just..."

Orlando's brows twitched. The microphone icon was flashing on the screen, but the meeting had fallen

into an eerie silence.

He even had the urge to strangle her now. So, he directly ended the meeting and gloomily looked up at

her.
