Chapter 180 Jealousy
Chapter 180 Jealousy
Orlando had some impression of her face and recognized that she was an employee of the Fletcher Group, so he nodded slightly.
Abbey covered her mouth in shock and glanced into the house. Then she stole a glance at Orlando.
Wasn't Perry married? But her husband couldn't be Orlando. Otherwise, Colin would have introduced her as his cousin-in-law but not a friend.
It was night, but Orlando was coming out of Perry's house.
Everyone in the Fletcher Group knew how aloof Orlando was, and he didn't talk much. He wouldn't meet with a woman privately. Even if Perry was his designer and they needed to discuss the decoration of the house, they should meet at the Fletcher Group.
A thought flashed in Abbey's mind and she suddenly thought of the portrait that Perry drew.
Originally, she thought it was just a casual painting. But based on the current situation, it seemed like she had had an affair with Orlando for a long time.
This made sense. Perry was very young. If not for this, how would she become Orlando's interior designer?
She made it because she was Orlando's mistress!
Abbey didn't like women of this type and felt a bit disgusted. But as Orlando was standing before her, she didn't dare to show any emotions. She wished so much that she could fly back to her house.
Orlando glanced in the house that Abbey had walked out of. Were they neighbors?
"Perry is on a fever and no one can take care of her. Please take care of her."
Orlando's voice sounded flat, and he'd reached the elevator when he finished the words.
Abbey thought for a while and couldn't help but say, "Mr. Fletcher, I'm Colin's girlfriend. Colin said she'd gotten married. Maybe her husband would come back to take care of her soon. But her husband is very busy. He goes out early and comes back late every day."
Abbey didn't know why she said these words.
She thought it was already a blessing as she, a receptionist, became Colin's girlfriend.
But she hadn't expected that Perry, a married woman, could hook up with Orlando.
Countless women in Chatville wanted to marry Orlando, after all.
Abbey looked down. Probably it was because of jealousy. How would a married woman deserve Orlando?
He was at the top of the pyramid and meeting him here could be considered a condescension on his part.
All women had jealousy. In the past, Abbey thought she wouldn't be jealous of anyone. After all, she was already very lucky.
But Colin was actually not a patch on Orlando.
Even though Colin was the man she liked, this was the truth.
Orlando had walked into the elevator. Since Perry's neighbor said so, it meant the house did have a male owner.
He didn't see any men's shoes perhaps because they were not put in the hallway.
He pressed the button for the first floor without saying anything else.
Abbey froze on the spot after Orlando's leaving, suddenly feeling a bit regretful.
How could she say those words? Perry had helped her on Colin's matter after all.
Although she didn't manage to see Colin's mother today as Colin called her and asked her to go back halfway through, Perry did give her Ms. Fletcher's ward number.
Wanting to make amends, Abbey walked into Penny's house and brought her some medicine.
Penny had already lay down on the sofa. Seeing Abbey walking in with fever-reducing medicine, she remembered the favor inwardly.
After feeding her medicine, Abbey put a blanket on her.
"Perry, I've put some warm water here. Call me if you wake up midnight and feel uncomfortable. You have my number."
Penny thanked her in a daze when she heard the words.
Abbey happened to receive Colin's call when she walked out of Penny's house. She eagerly told him that she'd bumped into Orlando and emphasized that she had taken care of Penny. She not only hoped that Penny would owe her a favor but also wanted Colin to know that she was a good girl.
Colin made this call in front of his mother. Nancy had no idea about who was speaking at the other end of the phone, but she vaguely heard a girl saying that Perry was on a high fever. "Colin, go to see Perry with me."
"Mom, you're still hospitalized. Don't mess around."
"We'll go see her tomorrow morning. Come to pick me up early in the morning. We'll go to her place."
Colin felt a bit weak. After all, Abbey lived opposite Penny and he was afraid that there might be trouble later.
