Peter was for a second stunned by her questions. Katherine then burst into laughter and said, "You're

being too serious about that! I'm just kidding.”

To change her topic, she invited Peter, "Come and eat something with me. I bet that you didn't eat

much since you have been drinking for a long hour.”

Katherine ordered way too much, she couldn’t possibly finish these all by herself.

Peter took a glance at those dishes on the table, and kindly said, "You know that the condition of your

stomach would not allow you to eat something as spicy as these.”

Then, he naturally looked at his watch, and said, "Well, I must go now since there are still several files

waiting to be checked. Your ex-husband is gonna kill me if I dare to be late.”

Katherine answered, "OK, do what you have to do. Besides, it's been a while since the last time we sat

at the same dining table. How about going out for dinner next time when you are not occupied?"

Peter nodded, "No problem."

Katherine chose to sit down and not to accompany Peter to the doorway. Nibbling and chewing things

in her mouth, she couldn't help but glanced at the pill lying in the corner of the table.

It was the first time in her life ever taking pills like these— also, not a good experience to some extent.

While at least it could save her a lot of trouble.

As her chopsticks suddenly stopped in mid-air, she again reminded herself of the past and fell into a

kind of self-mockery. Though not even for once she had ever taken any contraceptive when she had

sex with Marshall, she always failed to get pregnant. Possibly, the end would be the same for this time

even though she took the pills.

Gloomily, she lost her appetite and putted down the chopsticks.

In the room, there was a small refrigerator lying in the corner with juices and cans inside.

Katherine then opened up a can. Although the iciness made her feel less desirable to eat the can, she

still held it in her hands, walked to the window and looked out.

There were still people hanging around on the beach, most of them were probably going out for a stroll.

As time went by, a smile gradually spread on Katherine’s face — it was a smile out of loneliness and

melancholy rather than of joy and happiness. Dating back to the old days when she was at the Grant

Family, nobody willing to talk to her, she could still have someone by her side. But now, she was all

alone.

After a while, she changed her clothes, and went out of the room.

There was a small bar downstair which opened only to the guests of the hotel, and which was meeting

its business peak of the day. Katherine never intended to go in, but was attracted by the great

atmosphere inside and went in.

She found herself a seat in the corner of the bar. Soon, a bartender came up and served her.

"What may I serve you, lady?" The bartender asked.

"May I order a glass of water, please?" Katherine smiled and said.

The words stunned the bartender for a second, but soon he nodded and said, "Absolutely. Please wait

for a second.”

Couldn’t have drinks, but still she could order some food. Afterwards, she ordered some snacks and

fruits,

With her legs crossed, she looked around and ultimately fixed her eyes on a bar singer sang on a small

stage not far from her place.

The singer was plucking away at an English song with his guitar. Though Katherine had no idea about

what the lyrics meant exactly, she still enjoyed listening to its gentle and touching melody.

Her food was still waiting to be served. She picked up the glass of water, and accidentally caught the

eyes of the singer on the stage. She then raised the glass high above her shoulder to give a toast to

the singer, and the singer greeted her back with a wide and warm smile.

She took a sip of water, and spread herself on the chair.

'Maybe it's exactly the feeling to be single again' Katherine thought to herself, 'I could hang with anyone

whenever and wherever I wanted, not so bad, actually.'

There were quite a lot of couples here, and singles. For Katherine, who didn't care about it, she took a

few bites of the fruit and took out her phone. As she was about to text someone, she was stunned to

find that she had no idea who she should send a message to.

In the end, she still chose to text Peter, "Come and join me after you finished your duties." She

attached the message with a short video clip of the singer singing the English song.

Soon, she had received the reply from Peter, "You're out again, aren't you?"

Katherine laughed out and felt her spirit was lifted, responding, "Nothing, just trying to find myself a

handsome boy to hang with."

Looking at the content of her message, she even began to feel shame for herself.
