Katherine slept until the afternoon.
When she woke up, she went out of her room. Marshall was not in the room. Peter was not there either.
She scratched her head and went out.
She did not know where to go and was feeling bad on the inside.
This uncomfortable feeling had been there since last night.
Last night, not knowing if it was because her fever was too severe, her mind became blurred, she had
a dream.
She dreamed of something very long ago.
She originally forgot about it.
However, it was suddenly so clear inside the dream.
There were arguments, criticize, blames, and buck-passing.
All the unpleasant things.
Katherine still felt uncomfortable and suffocating when thought about it now.
Katherine sat down on the sofa in the hotel lobby, leaned back, and stared at the entrance of the hotel.
Her mind was in great confusion, it was like many people were talking.
But, she could not hear clearly what they were talking about.
She felt that she had nowhere to go. If she hadn’t been with Marshall and Peter, she would not even
know where to go next.
She felt pathetic when she thought about this.
Not long afterward, Katherine heard Peter’s voice. He sounded a little worried, “Why are you out here?
When we went back, we didn’t see you in the room and thought that you had been kidnapped.”
While saying, Peter had stood opposite of Katherine.
Katherine smiled, “Come on, I’m a grown-up. Am I that brainless to be abducted by someone?”
Peter loved the way Katherine spoke just now.
He grinned, came over, and patted Katherine, “I still prefer the way you are now, your behavior this
morning made me feel so uncomfortable just by looking.”
Katherine shook off Peter’s hand and stood up, “I hadn’t woken up in the morning.”
Peter looked up and down at Katherine, “Your body hasn’t recovered completely, try to get some rest
and don’t go walking around.”
Katherine nodded while walking towards the elevator, “Got it, you’re a real nagger.”
Marshall was in the room. It seemed that Peter was the only person who was anxious after knowing
Katherine had gone missing.
Katherine went straight into the bedroom.
Marshall followed her and went in after a while, “Peter and I have already eaten. You can just ring the
room service if you want to eat anything.”
Katherine responded okay and did not utter other words.
Marshall seemingly did not have other words to say to her so he went out directly.
One of them was in the room while another one was in the living room. Both of them did not say a
word.
This scene was exactly like the old days.
In the past, their ways of getting along with each other were also like this which they always had
nothing to say to each other.
Katherine did not eat. Marshall did not ask anymore either.
She pulled the chair and sat near the window.
Not long after, she heard Marshall’s phone rang.
Marshall picked up the call quickly and his tone was slightly polite, “Hello.”
The way Marshall spoke, Katherine could deduce that the other party was not a member of the Grant
family and also not someone from the WF Group either.
She checked the time. It was unlikely that anyone would make a call at this hour to talk about business.
But, if it was a private matter, Katherine could not think of any person who could make Marshall speak
so politely.
She lay on the windowsill but her ears were paying attention to what was going on outside.
Marshall responded and said later, “I’ll be back tomorrow.”
After the other party said something, Marshall said, “Yes, with Katherine.”
Katherine’s heart throbbed. That person even knew about her.
This was not unusual.
Katherine was clever, so she thought of a person at once.
Then, Katherine laughed.
Being too smart was often not a good thing.
It would at least make her feel bad.
After the person on the other end of the phone said something again, Marshall smiled, “No need, I’m a
little busy that day.”
Katherine soundlessly let out a breath and pursed her lips.
Marshall’s call did not last too long.
It was hung up after he said two more sentences.
Then, the living room continued to be quiet.
These two people did not make a sound until it was dark outside.
Finally, it was Peter who came over and told them to go out and eat. He also said they would go back
tomorrow and ask them if the two had anything to pack.
Katherine only had a few things. It would be fine to just stuff everything inside the luggage.
Peter came over and looked, then he nodded, “Kathy’s, it’s really easy.”
He turned and look at Katherine, “Your fever is gone, right. Is there anywhere you still feel
uncomfortable.”
Katherine shook her head, “Nope, I’m all good.”
Peter invited her, “Let’s have a decent meal tonight. We have to catch an early flight tomorrow, I guess
that means we don’t have time to eat.”
When Katherine got up and went out, she saw that Marshall had already changed his clothes.
The two of them kept silent. For some reason, the atmosphere began to become weird once again.
This continued until they reached the dining room downstairs.
When the three of them sat down, a person immediately came over and sat at the same table.
It was Sam from WF Group.
Sam came here alone. He sat opposite of Marshall, “Mr. Grant, I have waited for so long to finally meet
you.”
