Chapter 160 Was She Mute
Penny froze. She had planned to take out her phone, light up the floor, and pick up the broken
porcelain pieces.
But when she heard Orlando's voice, she felt at a loss.
Orlando was holding a cup in his hand. He seemed to be working late in his room and came to get
some coffee.
The lights in the house disappeared, and he could only vaguely see a figure, thinking it was a servant
in the villa.
"Where's the coffee machine?" He asked softly, already smelling the aroma of coffee.
Before he went upstairs, Anika had said that coffee was always ready downstairs, 24 hours a day.
When he stayed up late working, he needed coffee to refresh himself.
The kitchen was spacious, and the coffee machine was near Penny, but she didn't dare speak.
Orlando smelled the fragrance, and he walked straight into the kitchen.
He put the cup under the machine without looking at the servant, who had her back turned to him.
This coffee machine had a short-term heat preservation function. So even if the power was out, it could
still pour brewed coffee into a cup.
As the coffee was poured into the cup, the aroma in the kitchen was powerful.
This was Orlando's favorite coffee bean, but he somehow smelt a familiar scent in the aroma of this
coffee.
He frowned and couldn't help but look at the servant again.
She kept squatting on the ground without even moving her back.
Was she mute?
Penny touched the broken pieces of porcelain with her fingertips. Using the light of lightning outside the
window, she quickly picked up the pieces of porcelain in front of her and threw them into the trash can
in the kitchen.
She stood up, lowered her head, and was about to leave the kitchen quickly when Orlando suddenly
said, "It should be a trip. Everyone else is asleep now. Take me to the fuse." This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
He didn't know the structure inside Hills Villa, but the servants working here should know it.
It was evident that he treated Penny as a servant.
Penny was planning to lower her head and walk past him quickly, but she stopped when she heard his
words.
Orlando was already a little unhappy because the servant seemed a little stupid.
Penny lowered her voice, pretending to be different from usual, "Sorry, Mr. Fletcher, I don't know where
the fuse is."
When Orlando came down, he didn't bring his phone. He couldn't see the room and asked, "Where is
your phone? Turn on the light."
Penny replied almost subconsciously, "I didn't bring my phone."
As soon as she finished her sentence, her phone rang in her pocket in the dark environment.
It was a slap in the face.
She raised her hand to cover the phone tightly and couldn't help blushing.
Both of them could only see the faint outline of each other. With Penny deliberately avoiding him,
Orlando couldn't see her.
"Well, do you have no phone on you?" His tone was calm but like a slap in Penny's face.
Annoyed and embarrassed, Penny quickly put her hand into her pocket and turned her phone off.
She didn't know how to answer Orlando and continued to leave with her head down.
As soon as she took a step, he grabbed her wrist.
"Aren't you from the Hills Villa?"
She showed up here in the middle of the night and was scared when she met him. She didn't dare to
answer his questions. She also lied that she didn't bring her phone. Was she afraid that he would know
what she looked like?
Orlando had a special status, and some women always approached him with ill intentions. Moreover,
this woman appeared in the kitchen. Could it be that she had put something in the food?
It had happened before, so he was extra cautious.
His overseas villa had strict controls in this regard, and no maid was around him.
But Hills Villa was different. No one knew if anyone here had been replaced.
This woman was sneaky and suspicious.
Penny's wrist was clenched tightly, and she panicked a little. She continued in a lowered voice, "Mr.
Fletcher, you've misunderstood me."
"Give me your phone."
He had to see what she was hiding and find out why she didn't dare to turn on the light of her phone.
