Chapter 19 Compensation


    Chapter 19 Compensation


    The room became so quiet that they could hear the clock ticking on the wall.


    Ondo had suspected he was hallucinating for the second time. Was it because she had mistaken


    him for her husband that she had acted so intimately with him?


    The light of the crystal chandelier covered her side face with ayer of glow when she continued, "I''ve


    forgotten what happened that night. I believe you forgot it too. I''m sorry for mistaking you for my


    husband just now."


    They were grown-ups. Moreover, it was Helen''s trick that night. So, she should not me him or ask


    him to take responsibility. Work was her priority now, so there was no need to care about her virginity.


    "Mr. Fletcher, if you are interested in my design, you can tell me about your needs."


    She naturally changed the subject to the project as if that night was not worth mentioning.


    Ondo kept silent. He had identally caught a glimpse of the red marks under her translucent


    clothes in the bathroom. So, he knew how fierce he had been that night. The marks must have looked


    more shocking back then. But after she had returned home with them, her husband had not asked for a


    divorce. He didn''t care about her. Or maybe there was something wrong with their rtionship.


    Ondo leaned back on the sofa and regained his cold and calm expression after only a few seconds.


    "It''s me who should say sorry. If what happened that night affected your rtionship with your


    husband..."


    Before he could finish speaking, Penny interrupted, "No."


    She seriously looked at him and continued, "Our rtionship remains as usual."


    They had always been strangers. Nothing had changed.


    Ondo had been calm and had no interest in her marriage. But when he heard her words, his eyes


    shed with sarcasm.


    How could their rtionship remain as usual? No matter how much a man loved a woman, he would


    never tolerate being cuckolded. Man would not allow another man to appear in his territory.


    Ondo remembered Penny had said she could earn at least one million dors if sheplete this


    project. Why was a married woman working so hard? What was her husband doing? He turned out to


    be a kept man.


    Ondo stood up and said, "Ms. Perry, I will hire you to design for my house."


    He looked at her rosy lips and continued, "Because I want topensate you for that night."


    Her lips were beautiful and had a slight curve in the middle. When she pursed her lips, the small bead


    would be revealed.


    Penny''s eyes shed with surprise because she had not expected to win the project.


    "Okay! I won''t let you down, Mr. Fletcher. Please feel free tomunicate with me if you have any


    ideas about the interior design."


    He had the deliberately mentioned word pensate", but she had ignored it. He frowned, feeling


    suffocated again.


    Half an hour ago, she had kissed and hugged him. But after sobering up, she became as cold as ice.


    He had never been rejected for the past twenty years, so he felt extremely ufortable.


    When he walked to the door, she asked, "Mr. Fletcher, how much are the new clothes?"


    "Take them as a gift," he coldly replied, opened the door, and left.


    Boom!


    The door closed.


    Penny felt weak in her legs, and her forehead was beaded with sweat. She walked into the bathroom


    and washed her face with cold water.


    She did not know what drug Ryder had used on her. It was still taking effect in her body, although she


    had temporarily suppressed it. When the heat rose again, she felt itchy and ufortable as if tens of


    thousands of ants were crawling inside her.


    Ondo had given her this room. And she couldn''t leave like this now. So, she filled the bathtub with


    water again. The water was cold, but it was the only solution.


    After Penny took off her clothes, neatly put them aside, and sat in the bathtub, her teeth began


    chattering. Feeling tired and sleepy, she fell asleep while leaning against the bathtub.


    When she woke up, it was almost seven in the morning. As she stepped out of the bathtub, she almost


    fell. The drag had lost efficacy, but she felt dizzy and almost fainted after soaking in the cold water all


    night.


    She quickly wiped her body and put on the clothes beside her. Leaning against the wall, she walked out


    with difficulty and decided to go to the hospital.


    Opening the door, she saw a slender figure outside.


    His appearance was outstanding, and his body was well-proportioned. When wearing the ck


    handmade, he was eye-catching.


    Penny hurriedly said, "Mr. Fletcher, good morning."


    Ondo turned to look at her, nodded, and walked toward the elevator.


    Penny pressed the going-down button and said with a polite smile, "Last night, you paid for my clothes

    and room. It must be a lot of money. The breakfast of this hotel is famous. Do you have time? It''s my


    treat."


    Ondo had wanted to refuse because he would have several meetings in the morning. But he frowned


    when noticing her wet eyes and pale face. Then, he looked away and coldly said, "OK."
