Katherine didn’t bother to look at Marshall and Peter at all. She then headed her way to the elevator,
together with Louie.
The atmosphere between the two was a little awkward. As Louie picked his floor and pressed the
button, Katherine then casually chose to go few floors higher.
While the elevator was ascending, Louie suddenly posed a question to Katherine, asking her how long
did she plan to stay here for.
Katherine hesitated for a while, the lies simply came out of her, "Well, I may leave here soon, since my
friend asks me to go to another place.”
Louie seemed disappointed after hearing the answer from Katherine, “So fast!”
Katherine forced a smile and said awkwardly, "Don't worry. We could still keep in touch with each
other.”
Finally, the elevator stopped at Louie’s floor, Katherine waved, as Louie got off the elevator.
After the door was shut, Katherine again repressed her floor, leaned against the elevator wall and took
a sigh of relief. For her, it was more torturing to put on a smile for a stranger.
As the door of the elevator opened, she quickened her pace and went back to her suite.
She threw her smartphone on the bed, rushed into the bathroom and took a shower. She felt all sticky
and uncomfortable.
In the shower, Katherine looked down and found there were bruises on the side of her waist. Clearly,
she could tell that the one who did this was Marshall.
Katherine was all beat, simply rinse herself and changed. Originally, she had some fruits before
attending the event, after an exhausting activity with Marshall, she really needed something to fill up
her empty stomach.
She called the room service and ordered a list of food. While no one seemed to come after a long wait.
She then climbed out of the bed, went straight out of the room.
Empty hallway, no staff in sight. She walked towards the elevator, wondered whether if her food was
sent up in the elevator. As the door glided open, the person came out of the elevator wasn’t the delivery
guy.
Katherine shocked, “How come it’s you guys?”
Marshall didn’t say anything, he looked down at her for a few second and headed toward his own room.
As for Peter, he stood besides the elevator door and said, “We're just happens to be at the same floor."
Katherine paused for a moment, Katherine was still in confusion seeing the presence of those two,
while she soon understood everything, including Peter’s intention.
"OK." Katherine nodded, turned around and fixed her eyes on the back of Marshall, their room was not
that close to hers, Marshall’s room was few doors apart.
Peter didn’t move, looked at Katherine, "Any activities tomorrow, with that man?”
"Of course. Any problem?' Katherine said.
Peter then grinned and continued, “You’re such a brave girl, how long have you known this man for?
And going to hang out with him?”
"Well, just like the old saying goes that it is now or never." Katherine laughed.
Peter then stared at Katherine for a while, and then gave a helpless sigh, "To be honest, Is it really the
end between you and your ex-husband? Maybe you should try and…"
Katherine interrupted Peter and said,”What are you thinking!”
She turned around and walked right back to her room, wiping away the smile that previous hung on her
face. She calmly thought to herself, there was nothing more she could do to fix the relationship
between her and Marshall, was she not working hard enough? Why does she has to be the one always
pleasing Marshall? So ridiculous.
She went back to her room and shut the door behind her and leaned against it. She felt her heart was
getting increasingly heavier and difficult to breath. Suddenly, something important occurred to her.
She was now in her menstrual cycle, the sex she just had with Marshall without any using protections.
She slowly closed her eyes and thought, 'Damn it. It seems that I need to take that fucking
contraceptive now. Jesus, why do I always have to suffer this shit?’
Afterwards, the doorbell rang, and the services she asked for had finally came. When she was having
her meal, the more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she gets. And finally decided to make
a call to Peter.
"Yes, what's going on?" Answered Peter from the other end.
"Are you in your room now?” Katherine asked.
Peter paused a moment and said, “yeah, I am, what’s wrong?”
“I was wondering whether if you could buy me a plate of contraceptive since… you know, I'm in my
menstrual cycle." Asked Katherine.
Peter slowly turned his head, looked at the man next to him and sighed, "Alright, I’ll get it."
"OK, but please hurry. I need it now." Said Katherine, knowing nothing about which room Peter was
exactly in.
Peter slowly turned his head, looked at the man next to him and sighed, "Alright, I'll get it."
"OK, but please hurry. | need it now." Said Katherine, Knowing nothing about which room Peter was
exactly in.
