Chapter 32 Nancy Is Satisfied with Penny
Penny stood at the door of the restaurant, feeling a dilemma.
Colin was right behind her and said softly, "The woman sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling window over there is my mother. She is not easy to fool, and if I can walk out alive today, you will be my savior."
The corners of Penny's lips twitched, and she unconsciously bent her head to hide her face, but Nancy had already looked over.
Upon noticing her gaze, Colin stiffened.
"Sorry to offend you."
With that, he took Penny by the waist and led her towards Nancy.
Nancy's gaze was sharp, and she glanced up and down at the two of them.
In a gentlemanly manner, Colin drew out a chair for Penny, and his eyes were smiling.
"Mom, this is my girlfriend, and she is an interior designer. Just call her Penny."
Penny's mind was blank, and after sitting down, her rationality slowly returned.
"Judging from Nancy's expression, she probably doesn't know me," she thought.
Penny breathed a sigh of relief and then said to herself in her heart, "Fortunately, I'm about to divorce Orlando and will soon have nothing to do with the Fletcher family. But now, in order to repay Mr. Levine's favor, I have to pretend to be his girlfriend."
Therefore, she greeted, "Nice to meet you, Ms. Fletcher."
Penny's facial features were very exquisite and strong. Coupled with her fair skin and unique demeanor, she was clearly different from those pretentious and pettish girls that Colin used to like.
Nancy withdrew her gaze and was very satisfied with Penny.
"I thought you would casually find a woman to fool me. Colin, you've really grown up."
Colin did plan to casually find a woman to meet Nancy, and he even went to one of his ex-girlfriends for help. Unexpectedly, while buying her a gift, he made a mistake and was slapped on the spot.
Fortunately, the slap was not very heavy, and the fingerprints on his face were not visible for the time being.
"Mom, Perry is very outstanding. You should know Royal Green, the new house Orlando bought, right? She's the interior designer of it. Therefore, don't worry, I really haven't been dating those dubious women anymore."
Nancy knew that anyone who was chosen by Orlando was very capable.
The more she looked at Penny, the more satisfied she became. "Here's a gift for our first meeting."
Nancy took a bracelet from her wrist and handed it to Penny.
Penny didn't dare to accept it at all. "Ms. Fletcher, thanks for your kindness, but I can't take it. I didn't bring any gifts with me today."
Nancy glanced at Colin a little angrily and said, "Colin did not even buy you a gift, did he?"
After a happy meal, Colin said goodbye to Nancy. Then he grabbed Penny's wrist and left with her.
He did not let go of her until they were in the car. "Sorry, my mother really doesn't like my previous girlfriends, and she has only shown a relatively good face to my ex-girlfriend. That was why I wanted her to act with me in front of my mother."
Penny took the bracelet from her wrist and said, "Here you are.
"I really can't accept it. Judging from its color and patterns, it should be very expensive. And, Ms. Fletcher has also said that this is for her future daughter-in-law."
Seeing her so persistent, Colin took it over and said, "Don't worry, I'll introduce more clients to you in the future. I'll also hand over the houses under my name to you to design. By the way, where do you live now? Let me drive you back."
Penny gave him the address of her apartment.
What neither of them knew was that on their way back, Nancy had arrived at the Fletcher Group and was sitting in Orlando's office.
"Nancy, why did you suddenly come over?"
Nancy sat down on the sofa, and her eyes were still smiling as she thought of the girl she had just met.
"It's indeed the right decision to put Colin in your company. I'm very satisfied with his new girlfriend."
Orlando was surprised that Colin had a new girlfriend now.
He couldn't help but frown, and Nancy continued, "I have just met the girl for the first time, and I didn't ask too much. I heard from Colin that the girl is now designing a house for you. Have you had any contact with her? How about her family background and working abilities?"
