Pampered by My Ex-husband (Penny and Orlando)

Chapter 37 A Risky Gamble

Chapter 37 A Risky Gamble

Penny knew Norah was ridiculing her on purpose.

She didn't give any response and went to sit at her desk.

Norah felt annoyed. She thought if Kale gave her the chance to get in touch with Orlando, she could

also seal the deal.

After all, Orlando chose the studio because Kale was his high schoolmate, and it had nothing to do with

Penny's capability.

Penny was lucky to have the chance and got famous because of this.

Norah wondered why all the good things happened to Penny.

There seemed to be a bomb in Norah's chest, and it could go off at any time.

Now that Penny was indifferent to her, Norah grew angrier.

She said, "Do you think you can climb up the social ladder after Orlando asked you to design the

interior of the house? He loves someone else. Everyone in Chatville knows that he's waiting for her. He

will live at Royal Green after he gets married."

Interior designers had more chances than ordinary people to get in touch with rich men. Several

designers were rumored to make out with their customers and get caught on the spot by their wives.

Norah was beautiful and had been trying to climb up the social ladder. Pleasing Kale was only her first

step.

However, she got nothing from it.

Nora had been coveting the chance to meet Orlando. She mentioned it to Kale many times and even

invited him to go out with her on her birthday.

However, Kale said he was not a friend of Orlando, and she had to rely on herself.

Norah didn't believe him. How could Penny have met Orlando if Kale had not been his friend?

She failed to win Kale over, but Penny managed to do that. With Kale's help, Penny got the business

from Orlando successfully.

Norah was resentful. They both had the same purpose, but how could Penny appear so aloof?

That was disgusting.

Norah's mocking words were evident, and Penny wouldn't ignore it. She looked up at Norah.

"Ms. Kirk, are you talking about me?"

Norah snorted coldly and said, "Who else do you think?"

Penny nodded and said approvingly, "Indeed, no one has won the order of Orlando but me."

Her words stung Norah like steel needles, who blushed with anger. "Don't be so arrogant. Orlando

gave you the business because of Mr. Pratt. What does it have anything to do with you?"

Kale frowned. He knew he played a minor role in this business, and Penny made it all by herself.

"Norah."

Kale didn't want them to make a scene. The studio was getting better, and Norah was competent.

Norah felt aggrieved, her eyes turning red. "Mr. Pratt, I know you and Penny went to the same college,

but you can't favor her so much."

Her words found an echo in the hearts of the staff in the studio.

Kale explained, "I didn't help her get the business from Orlando. He didn't remember me even though

we went to the same high school. Penny managed to get his recognition by herself."

Everyone couldn't help complaining inwardly.

Wasn't he helping Penny again?

Penny couldn't bring herself to put Kale in a difficult position. The studio was not big, after all. He had

been striving for a relaxing working place, so everyone here got along like partners except for

meetings.

Penny got to her feet slowly.

"If anyone is unconvinced, he can inquire about Orlando's personal preferences and turn in his design

drawing to Mr. Pratt, who will hand it over to Orlando. It's up to Orlando to choose the designer."

She suggested that her design drawing would be handed over too.

And it would be done anonymously.

Penny looked at the others calmly and asked, "Does anyone want to have a try?"

She had long known that many people in the studio disliked her, let alone make friends with her. She

didn't care about what they thought of her.

After all, the most important thing for a designer was to satisfy the customers instead of being worldly.

Since they were unconvinced, she would let them lose again.

Penny's invitation angered Norah, who slapped the table and said, "Okay. I dare you to ask Orlando to

choose from the anonymous design drawings. Do you think you are capable? All of us graduated from

famous colleges. What are you? Orlando wouldn't have paid attention to you if it weren't Mr. Pratt."

Penny remained calm.

"So, do you dare to turn in your design drawing?"

Norah grew angrier and glanced at the others quietly. © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Everyone in the studio was well aware of Penny's strength. Every design of hers got high praise from

the customers. As a result, they got the benefit from it.

However, it embarrassed them to take a free ride from a dabbler. After all, they were professional

designers.

It would be much more embarrassing if they took the challenge and Orlando chose Penny in the end.

Perhaps they couldn't stay in the design industry if they lost.

It was a risky gamble.
