A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love

Chapter 458

The next day, Hesper arrived at the company's doorstep at the agreed-upon time. She glanced at the

time. She was used to arriving early, so the client's car had not yet arrived.

"You're so hardworking."

Pennleigh's voice came from behind, prompting Hesper to turn her head around to see him standing

behind her.

Pennleigh usually wouldn't come to the company at a time like this. Hesper raised her eyebrows and

asked, "You're talking about yourself, right? What brought you to the company so early today?"

"Let's not argue for now," Pennleigh said, offering Hesper a smile. "Our client will be here soon. Before

they're here, I have a few things to tell you."

"Okay." After spending such a long time together, Hesper also knew Pennleigh quite well. Although he

did not look serious right now, she was confident that he must have something important to tell her.

"I'll make it short and simple," Pennleigh said, cocking his head. "Mrs. Lanning is in poor health. I'm

sure you're already aware of that, so I hope you can be more careful during our cooperation. Her

husband is an influential figure in the business world of Antellon. He adores his wife very much, but

there are rumors that they both have extramarital affairs. I'm telling you this out of caution."

No wonder everyone was tight-lipped about the client before. Even someone as wealthy as Pennleigh

referred to her husband as an "influential figure," indicating that their family was already considered

prominent in Antellon.

Just as Pennleigh finished speaking, a black Lincoln appeared in their sight. Hesper and Pennleigh

exchanged glances. Both of them had a feeling that this car was here to pick her up.

Just as they expected, the car slowly stopped in front of them. Pennleigh waved his hand at Hesper

and said, "Go on. I'll see you tomorrow at the company.

"Okay," Hesper replied.

The car door opened, and a servant got out and came forward to take Hesper's toolbox. "Ms. A, we're

a bit late. Sorry to keep you waiting."

Hesper had just checked the time and knew that they were actually ten minutes early. But since she

arrived earlier, she just waved her hand. "It's okay, I came early."

After ushering Hesper into the car, the servant continued, "Ma'am has been sick lately and her body is

weak, but she has been thinking about your dress. You don't need to rush it when you arrive later. If

possible, please talk to her more."

"Okay…"

It was not the first time Hesper received a strange request from her client. She did not think too much

about it since they just wanted her to talk to a patient. As such, she nodded and followed the servant

into the mansion.

Hesper had seen Stephen's huge manor and Pisanos' castle, so compared to them, Mrs. Lanning's

house was rather plain.

"Ma'am is waiting for you inside."

At the stairs, the servant stopped. Hesper obediently looked towards the room he pointed at and

nodded. "Thank you."

"Don't mention it. It's my duty."

It was apparent that the servant wasn't trying to shirk his duties by not taking Hesper inside with him, NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

but rather, there was some explicit rule that prevented him from doing so.

"You need to disinfect yourself first."

"Okay…"

After completing everything according to the rules, Hesper finally made it to the door of the room.

Although Mrs. Lanning was already waiting for her inside, Hesper still knocked on the door out of

politeness.

"Come in."

Hesper pushed the door open.

Compared to outside, Mrs. Lanning's room was more exquisitely decorated. However, the curtains

were closed and there were no lights on, so the room was a bit dim.
