Chapter 106 This Couple Looked Like Total Strangers

When Penny was thinking wildly, Orlando's phone rang. It was Zane calling.

Orlando left in advance to attend the emergency meeting with the overseas company. But now, he was

trapped in the elevator and it was useless to say anything. He only asked Zane to make preparations to

attend the meeting in replace of him.

Zane was Orlando's right-hand subordinate and it was not his first time attending a meeting in replace

of him. Therefore, he got himself prepared soon.

With an indifferent expression, Orlando looked as if he was standing in his backyard even though he

was trapped in this small space. He didn't look anxious at all.

"Mr. Fletcher, I've delivered your words to Cason. I only told him not to let Ms. Stuart do things she isn't

supposed to do."

Orlando nodded. He thought of the promise that woman made to his grandfather she promised to give

birth to his baby! At the thought of this, he suddenly felt fretful.

"Did you let the Department of Business Affairs suspend the Stuart Group's project?"

Penny who stood beside him stiffened when she heard the words. She even thought she might have

misheard it.

Through the mirror surface that reflected lights, she could see the disgust in his eyes. And she pressed

her lips tightly.

She finally figured out why her father's illness would suddenly deteriorate. He got agitated and was

then sent into the emergency room probably because Orlando's assistant had said something to him,

plus the Stuart Group's project was suspended.

She, as Cason's daughter, of course, was worried about him.

However, it was true that the contraction of the Stuart Group's business scale over the past several

years was mainly because they were too dependent on the social connections brought by the Fletcher

Group.

She had tried to persuade Cason not to expand the family's business or blindly seek investments at

such a critical juncture.

Once the company was closely connected to the banks, it would owe more and more debts. At that

time, it would only be a matter of time before the company went bankrupt.

should watch out for matters like cash flows.

Once the cash flows were cut, the company would have to suffer a catastrophe.

After declining for several years, almost all the cash flows of the Stuart Group had been cut. If they had

taken an emergency solution to cut unnecessary projects and reduce the staff, the Stuart Group

wouldn't be in such a difficult situation.

However, Cason had started his career step by step from the grassroots after all, and in the face of the

senior employees who had worked for him for years, he couldn't make up his mind to lay them off.

Therefore, most of the executives of the Stuart Group were slack. They got paid every month yet

seldom focused on their jobs. Their subordinates also had the same attitude. With such employees,

how would the company develop?

Although Keely's words were harsh, one of his sentences was very correct Cason wasn't capable of

managing a company.

If he was just managing several small stores, of course, he would do a good job.

However, when the company was listed, it required its decision-maker to be more decisive and cold-

hearted. Apparently, Cason didn't have these qualities.

But he didn't want to admit his failure. He was reluctant to see the company he established gradually

go bankrupt and this was the reason why he insisted on a second-round financing before.

Moreover, he was very dependent on the Fletcher Group. And once the Fletcher Group didn't want to

help him, the Stuart Group would have no way out.

Orlando only instructed the Fletcher Group to snatch away a small project of the Fletcher Group, but

Cason's physical condition immediately deteriorated when he learned about this. What would happen

to him if the Stuart Group really went bankrupt?

Penny felt fretful at the thought of this.

It was apparent that the Stuart Group was the most important thing in Cason's heart. He could even

sacrifice his daughter's marriage for the sake of the company.

Penny listened to Orlando quietly. Then he shifted the topic to his company's affairs as if he had just

casually mentioned the Stuart Group a while ago.

When he ended the call, he took a glance at Penny and found she was more indifferent than before.

Moreover, she looked more distant.

Although the elevator was dim, the lights were enough for them to see each other's expressions.

Orlando was suddenly clutched by frustration. He vaguely felt that Penny seemed to dislike him. And

he felt suffocated at this realization.

Therefore, his aura also turned colder. Both of them were ignoring each other.

Finally, there came some noises from outside. The rescuers were coming! And they could even hear

Randy's voice.

The elevator doors were opened to a gap and the lights from outside immediately shone into the

elevator.

The rescuer who opened the doors to a gap was confused as he immediately felt a cold atmosphere as

soon as he opened the door. It was so cold that he felt all fours stiff.

It was summer now, but why was the inside of the elevator so cold?

However, he didn't dare to ask about this. He just quickly instructed other rescuers.

Besides Randy, Clark was also outside.

People on the top floor got the information about the elevator malfunction first. They learned that Penny

and Orlando were all in the elevator after checking on the surveillance videos.

Clark looked very anxious.

"Perry, are you Okay? The doors will be opened soon. Don't be nervous."

Clark said this not to leave a good impression on Penny. As a gentleman, he must ask if the woman

who had just had dinner with him was fine.

However, a complicated expression flashed across his face when he glanced at Orlando.

This couple looked like total strangers even if they were now standing together.

He was really confused. Now that they were in such a bad relationship, what would it be like when they

had sex?

Would Orlando maintain such a gloomy expression when he pounded into Perry?
