Chapter 221 Mr. Fergerson, Would You Like An Orange?

“Aunt Sue, why are you still out so late? Didn’t Nathan already come home? Why isn’t he helping you?”Otherwise, she would not have been bullied by a middle-aged man.Sue’s cheeks were a bit red, and she quickly grabbed Penny’s hand.“Penny, come home with me. Your room is still there. We’re truly grateful for what you did the last time, and you even got Nate to come back.”She did not answer Penny's question.Penny sighed. Seeing her pushing that pile of fruits, it would be tough for her to go back alone.She quickly went behind to help push.“Did Nathan reconcile with Jenni after he went home?”“No, they had a big fight, but it's Nate’s fault. He was asked to write a reflective essay. I think Jenni is planning to forgive him.”Penny remained silent. As they were passing the courtyard with the cart, she happened to see Caleb on the steps.At that moment, Caleb was not in a suit but wearing a white shirt. He was talking to Sebastian beside him.The two had only arrived a sho

Chapter 222 It Should Be Sweet

After all, in this business deal, there was the aspect of fruits.Caleb chuckled softly. “It looks pretty good. It should be sweet.”“Of course, everyone loves these oranges. They’re the best sellers during festivals.”A group of people started walking into the distance.Sebastian, who was following behind Caleb, remained silent. After all, Mr. Fergerson did not like this kind of fruit. Even in Imperial City, the fruits he ate were specially air-freighted from abroad.…Penny was pushing the small cart for Sue. When they were almost home, Sue could not hold back.“Penny, if you know that big boss, did I embarrass you in front of him by letting you push my cart?”This small cart, being so simple and something used to sell fruits, made Jenni often say she was too old to be making a public spectacle of herself.Whenever Sue was out making small change outside, Jenni would not even walk past her with friends.Only now did Sue realize it and feel sorry for Penny.“Sue, what’s so

Chapter 223 Like A Lingering Fragrance In The Dark

“Penny, rest assured, I won’t do that again; it’s not worth it.”Penny nodded, pondered for a moment, and then asked, “Do any of you know the owner of Jade Sandalwood Flooring?”Leo’s current job was quite respectable and could be considered a career. Despite the low salary, he knew many people.“I’ll ask around for you later. Once I have an answer, I’ll send you a message.”Only then did Penny feel relieved and return to the hotel.She originally planned to take a bath and go to sleep.However, after her bath, she saw a large black bug on the bed. She did not dare to lie down on it anymore. She put on her clothes and made do by sleeping in a chair for the night. She ended up with a sore neck.The next morning, when she woke up, Leo had sent her a message saying that Lewis and the others were planning to go to Jade Sandalwood Flooring that evening.[I’ve informed Lewis. He’ll pick you up.]After having some eggs and toast, Penny waited outside the hotel.The first to arrive w

Chapter 224 If You’re Rejected

As Caleb’s facial expression was very serious and he was flipping through some documents, Penny did not dare to disturb him. They remained silent until they reached their destination.Lewis approached the car and thanked Caleb before pointing to a mansion in the distance.“That’s where you’ll find the person you’re looking for. We’ll take Mr. Fergerson around for a tour down there. I’ve done the task your uncle assigned me. Go ahead now.”Penny turned around and thanked Caleb, then thanked Lewis. She then quickly headed toward the mansion.However, after taking a few steps forward, she heard Caleb’s voice.“If you’re rejected, just mention my name.”Penny was surprised. Could it be that the boss had connections with Caleb?If so, things would be much easier.A smile instantly appeared on her face, and her eyes brightened.“Thank you, Mr. Fergerson.”The midday sun was somewhat harsh, shining brightly on her and making her look dazzling in Caleb’s eyes.He averted his gaze an

Chapter 225 I Had Been Waiting For You All Day

“Seeing that you came to me now, it must’ve been because you didn’t book the wooden flooring in advance. Even though I really like you and should give some to you for Master Robert Zaki’s sake, you know well that items from my company have to be booked three years in advance. To allocate some for you on short notice, you'll be putting me in a tough position as well."Cornelius said these words with utmost sincerity, and Penny smiled.“Mr. Fay, I had heard that in the past few years, there were clients who miscalculated the delivery dates or had problems with their orders, forcing them to return goods. I won’t expect you to give me someone else’s order, Mr. Fay, but if there were such returns, could you give me their order? I'll offer a good price.”This time, Cornelius did not hesitate.“What’s your name?”“Mr. Fay, just call me Penny. My previous teacher liked calling me that too.”Cornelius laughed. “Since you’re his disciple, I owe you a favor. Stay and paint me something. If

Chapter 226 Like Sugar Dissolving In Water

Caleb pulled his arm away and nodded at Cornelius.“Uncle Cornelius, long time no see.”At this point, Cornelius had already stood up. He smiled and patted him on the shoulder.“You brat! How could you disappear without a trace for three years?”It seemed that ever since Caleb was driven abroad by that marriage three years ago, he had not been back here.For a moment, Penny could not figure out the relationship between the Fergersons and Cornelius. Perhaps Cornelius knew Sir Fergerson, which was why Caleb addressed him as ‘Uncle Cornelius.’Lily chimed in from the side.“If it were me, I’d also run off. Marrying a woman I barely know; I wonder what Sir Fergerson was thinking.”Cornelius shot her a stern look. “It’s none of your business to gossip about others’ affairs. Caleb, sit. We have a disciple of Master Robert Zaki here. It’d be good for you to meet her. Both of you are promising young talents.”As the other party involved in that marriage, Penny felt a sudden sense of a

Chapter 227 She Coyly Shook His Arm

Penny had ridden in Caleb’s car earlier. If he had not shown up, she truly had no clue as to how she would leave later.Upon hearing this, she quickly nodded. “Alright.”Lily noticed that the two started chatting right in front of her, and they were standing so close. She quickly stepped in between them, pushing Penny to the side a bit.With no choice, Penny stepped back on her own.Lily tilted her head and took the painting from Caleb’s hand.“It’s just average, to be honest. Such a level wouldn’t even be recognized at my academy. I don’t know what my teacher was thinking today, giving it full marks.”Her words were somewhat rude, even belittling Penny in her presence.Currently, Penny was still at the Fays’ residence and had some requests to make. When faced with Lily’s rudeness, she chose to see her as a little princess who merely spoke her mind.Amidst this subtle silence, Caleb picked up from where Lily left off.“Penny’s actually your senior.”These words made Lily extr

Chapter 228 Eliciting Affection

After Penny spoke, she heard the sound of rain from outside.Cornelius had just come out of the kitchen at that moment. Seeing the rain, he said with a smile, “After this, many fresh mushrooms will pop up tonight.”It seemed that Cornelius really loved the woods. He walked to the sofa, sat down, and started talking about the things one could find in the mountains, instantly dispelling the previous odd atmosphere.However, as time passed, the rain outside became heavier, almost turning into a torrential downpour. Visibility quickly decreased, and the sky seemed very dark.Such weather in the woods was indeed terrifying.Cornelius then spoke up.“I’ll have the maids prepare some rooms for you. Stay the night. Nobody should leave in this weather. It’s dangerous to drive down, and we don’t know if there are any landslides.”After saying this, he specifically looked at Penny.“Penny, since you came with Caleb, you should also stay. I won’t feel comfortable knowing you two are drivin

Chapter 229 Those Matters Between Adults

Penny felt a bit embarrassed at that moment because there was not a thread under her towel, and she was completely bare beneath. When Caleb saw her like this, she felt like her whole body was on fire.Caleb held a tube of ointment in his hand and was wearing only a shirt. A few buttons of the shirt were undone, revealing his collarbone.Below that, bandages could faintly be seen.Penny realized that he probably came for her to help him apply the ointment.Their rooms were close, and she had bandaged him up before.She did not know where Sebastian’s room was, so it made no sense for Caleb to go far.Caleb’s gaze fell on her for a moment, and he turned to go back to his room.However, Penny was worried that if the ointment was not applied, his wounds might worsen.After all, he was whipped because of her.“Are you here to apply the ointment? Come in,” she said, stepping to the side.Caleb hesitated, his brows furrowing.If it was another woman dressed like this inviting him in

Chapter 230 The Towel... You Were Holding It Down

The places her fingers touched warmed up.His breathing faltered for a moment.Penny, however, was earnestly applying the ointment, ensuring she had not missed a spot before she took the bandages. She wanted to re-wrap them.However, the action of wrapping the bandages, just like before, required her to lean in. Thus, the distance between the two of them shortened to the point where their breaths intertwined.Caleb had turned his head away, a frown forming on his face.Penny knew he did not like being too close to the opposite sex, so she sped up her actions.When she was about done, she sighed in relief, but as her breath touched Caleb’s skin, he could not help but lean back a little.“Mr. Fergerson, it’s done.”Penny felt awkward and hastily tried to step back.However, because Caleb had leaned back, he inadvertently pinned a corner of the towel. When she stepped back, the towel was held in place and proceeded to unravel.Caleb turned around, only to have a towel thrown rig
