Chapter 179 Don't Pretend to Be Strong Next Time
Penny gave Orlando directions. She didn't want to bring him more trouble, so she tried to keep as far away from him as possible when walking.
When they entered the elevator, she couldn't help but lean back against the cold wall as her legs were too weak.
Orlando just grabbed her arm, not intending to support her.
The elevator doors opened on the fifth floor and Penny fumbled in her bag for her keys, her fingers trembling. But everything before her was so shaky that despite her efforts, she couldn't insert the key into the keyhole.
Orlando had no choice but to do it for her.
As the door opened, he inevitably took the house into his eyes. It was very clean, but there were no men's shoes in the hallway. There were only several pairs of women's slippers.
He raised an eyebrow in confusion and lowered his head to take a glance at Penny.
The sound of a dog barking came from inside the house. Niko got excited when it heard the sound of the turning of keys and ran over on all fours.
It wagged its tail more enthusiastically when he saw Orlando.
Orlando frowned in resistance, but ultimately, he didn't say anything. After all, this wasn't the first time he had encountered this dog.
"Mr... Mr. Fletcher, please put me on the sofa. Thank you."
Penny didn't pet Niko's head because she was somewhat delirious from the fever.
Niko barked a few times. It wasn't disappointed even if he didn't get any response. Instead, it stared at Orlando eagerly.
It seemed like it liked Orlando very much as it directly lay down beside him.
Seeing this, Orlando couldn't help but curl up his lips.
He helped Penny to the sofa and the latter collapsed as soon as she reached the sofa. She knitted her brows in discomfort.
Orlando wanted to support her, but when he noticed that the sofa was very sofa and she wouldn't get hurt, he withdrew his hand.
The decoration of the house looked very cozy and warm, but it didn't have any traces of a man living there.
Did she separate from her husband?
Or could it be that she hadn't had time to move her husband's things here because the move was so rushed?
But no matter what, there shouldn't only be women's shoes in the hallway.
"Woof! Woof! Woof!"
Niko barked at this moment and ran around Orlando's legs. It even rubbed its head against the hem of Orlando's trousers.
Orlando knitted his brows tightly when he spotted the dog hairs on his suit trousers.
He stood up and prepared to leave, but Niko blocked his way and barked anxiously.
Penney was awakened by its barks and opened her eyes in a daze. She was so scared that she directly sat up when she saw Niko rubbing its head against the hem of Orlando's trousers. "Niko!" shouted Penny.
Niko ran away with its tail between its legs, looking very aggrieved.
Orlando's face didn't look good and his voice sounded stiff as he said, "I'm leaving."
Penny stood up, wanting to see him off. But she spotted that Niko was wagging its tail again and wanted to follow them. she was angry yet speechless.
"Woof! Woof! Woof!"
It bit the hem of Orlando's trouser and Orlando's expression turned gloomier when he realized that the hem of his trouser was probably stained with this dog's salvia.
Penny was now fully awake. She got up weakly, walked over, and held Niko in her arms.
Not knowing why, Niko always liked Orlando. It could always bump into him, even the last time when it ran away from home.
"Sorry, Mr. Fletcher."
Looking at the wet stain on the hem of his high-end suit trousers, Penny felt somewhat at a loss. Moreover, Orlando was allergic to dog hair, so he must be very disgusted. Orlando didn't say anything, but his aura was gloomy.
He took a meaningful glance at Penny and shifted his gaze when he found she still looked weak.
"Have a rest after taking the medicine. Don't try to be tough next time." His tone was emotionless and Penny could tell that he wanted so much to leave.
"Okay. Thank you, Mr. Fletcher." Orlando didn't even turn around. But as soon as he opened the door, he saw someone standing outside. It was Abbey who was about to knock on the door.
A hint of shock flashed across Abbey's eyes when she saw Orlando. And she stepped back quickly. "Mr. Fletcher?"
