Chapter 221 Would You Like an Orange
"Haley, why haven't you gone home yet at this late hour? Hasn't Noah already gone home? Why isn't he coming out to help you?"
Otherwise, Haley wouldn't have been bullied by a middle-aged man.
Haley's cheeks turned slightly red as she quickly grabbed Penny's hand.
"Penny, come back with me. Your room is still waiting for you. Thank you for being so helpful last time. And you even brought my Noah back."
She didn't answer Penny's question.
Penny sighed and noticed that it was difficult for Haley to push the fruit cart alone.
She quickly stepped in to help from behind.
"After Noah came home, did he reconcile with Susan?"
"No, they had a big fight. But Noah was wrong, so he had to write a self-reflection letter. I think Susan intends to forgive him."
Penny remained silent. As she pushed the cart, they passed by Adding Hotel and happened to see Orlando on the stairs.
Orlando wasn't wearing a suit. He wore only a white shirt and talked to Zane beside him.
They had just arrived not long ago and were about to attend an event organized by several government leaders.
It was already 8 o'clock, and people on that side were waiting.
As Penny helped Haley push the cart, she turned her head and met his gaze.
He raised an eyebrow slightly, his eyes falling on the cart's neatly arranged pile of fruits.
There were oranges, grapes, and bananas, all neatly arranged.
Penny thought she must be mistaken. How could she see Orlando in Prodale County?
She straightened herself and saw him under the lights of Adding Hotel. He looked beautiful, with all the sharp contours seemingly melting into the moonlight.
At this moment, he had lost his seriousness at the Fletcher Group. He rolled up his shirt sleeves, indicating that there would be no need for much formality at the upcoming event. He appeared relaxed.
"Mr. Fletcher?"
She called out, feeling a bit dazed.
Orlando stood on the steps while Penny was a few steps below. After thinking for a while, she managed to say something.
"Mr. Fletcher, would you like an orange?"
After saying this, she immediately regretted it and waved her hands, trying to say she was joking. After all, how could Orlando eat such cheap fruit?
But Orlando stepped down the stairs and took an orange from the small cart.
His fingertips were slender and perfect, making the orange appear somewhat ugly.
Holding the orange in his hand, he asked her, "When did you arrive?"
"I just arrived recently."
Haley, beside them, felt her presence diminish instantly when she saw Orlando. She was too scared to speak.
Seeing a few government leaders waiting not far away, she knew that the important figure standing in front of her was the owner of the car that had been damaged last time.
That car was worth 1.5 million dollars. Ordinary people like them couldn't afford to offend such a person.
But now, Penny was talking to him so casually.
Haley quickly grabbed a paper bag and silently filled it with oranges, handing it to Orlando.
She was not good at speaking.
Orlando politely said, "One is enough. Thank you."
Haley was pleasantly surprised and didn't know how to respond. She just looked at Penny.
In fact, Penny didn't expect him actually to come over and take an orange. Seeing that there were still people waiting, she reminded him, "Mr. Fletcher, your back injury hasn't fully healed yet, so you should avoid drinking later."
Orlando glanced at her, made a sound of agreement, and took the orange before heading towards the group of government leaders.
Several people were talking to him, and he nodded slightly in response.
Penny continued to bend down and push the small cart. "Haley, let's bring these fruits back home. It's getting late now."
Haley finally came to her senses and still felt a bit frightened.
"His presence is just too strong. I couldn't even speak in front of him."
"Mr. Fletcher has a high status but doesn't bully people. Susan herself caused last time's incident."
Haley suddenly became speechless and silently held onto the handle of the small cart.
In the distance, Orlando held the orange and heard one government leader say, "This kind of orange is produced only in Prodale County. You can try it. It tastes quite good."
