The XR Mall was not far from the Grant Enterprise.
Katherine strolled towards after ending the call.
From the way Peter spoke, there must have been some co-workers or senior management beside him.
He would seize any opportunity to showcase himself.
Katherine did not wait for long at the entrance before Peter arrived. As soon as Peter saw the shopping
bags that Katherine was carrying, he chuckled and teased, “That’s how a socialite should be.”
Katherine smiled and replied, “A socialite would have an assistant to carry all the bags.”
“Aren’t you forgetting me?” Peter reached forward to carry the bags and walked towards the car.
Katherine asked curiously, “Who was beside you when I called you just now?”
Peter was startled and seemed to be upset when he replied, “It’s Mr. Henderson. He said that he was
in the area and came to look for Marshall.”
Katherine was stunned, looked at Peter, and said, “Mr. Henderson came over?”
It looked like this issue had escalated.
Peter placed Katherine’s shopping bags in the car and said sarcastically, “I bet Clara must have said
something when she went home yesterday explaining why Mr. Henderson is here today.”
Katherine raised her eyebrows and asked, “Was Mr. Henderson still there when you left?”
“Yes.” Peter nodded and continued, “He was talking to us about our company’s operation.” Peter
walked over to the driver’s side, got into the car, and fastened his seatbelt. He then said, “But our
company does not have any business with the Hendersons. Don’t you find it amusing that he came to
our company?”
Katherine leaned back, rolled her eyes, and said, “Drive.” She did not know how much Clara knew
about her situation with Marshall but from Mrs. Grant’s fondness towards Clara, she must have told
Clara everything.
In that case, Mrs. Grant must have told Clara all about her divorce with Marshall.
Katherine got out of the car when they arrived at the Grant Enterprise. Peter took out her shopping
bags and then both entered the lobby and walked towards the elevators. They took the reserved
elevator and went directly to Marshall’s floor.
Mr. Henderson was still in Marshall’s office and Katherine could hear his voice as she approached. She
could not recognize any of the Hendersons. However, even if she did not recognize them, they were
still estranged. When she came into the picture, she ruined the marriage between the Grants and the
Hendersons.
Katherine took a deep breath at the door, opened it, and announced, “Hey honey, I’m back.” She
entered as if she did not know that Marshall had a guest.
Marshall sat on the sofa facing Mr. Henderson. Marshall stood up when Katherine entered and smiled,
“You’ve gone for a while, you must be tired.”
Katherine walked directly towards Marshall, embraced him, and said, “Yeah, it’s so hot, I’m literally…”
She paused and appeared surprised as she looked towards Mr. Henderson and apologized, “Oh, you
have a guest.”
Marshall chuckled as he continued to embrace her, “It’s okay, it’s Mr. Henderson. He was dropping by
to say hello.”
Mr. Henderson looked stern and solemn at this point. He looked judgmentally at Katherine.
Katherine noticed immediately Mr. Henderson’s soul-piercing looks but she was unfazed. She looked
nonchalantly towards Mr. Henderson and said, “Oh, this must be Ms. Henderson’s grandfather. What a
coincidence. I met her yesterday and now I chanced upon Mr. Henderson. Our fate must be
intertwined.” Anyone with a brain could tell what she had meant.
Mr. Henderson’s eyes narrowed and then stood up slowly. Although Mr. Henderson was an elder, he
was well-groomed. He looked at Marshall and said, “It looks like you’re busy. I won’t bother you any
further. We’ll chat another day.”
Marshall nodded, “Okay.”
Mr. Henderson turned to leave without even looking at Katherine. Marshall should have walked Mr.
Henderson to the door. However, Katherine held Marshall back and then said to Peter who was at the
door, “Peter, don’t neglect the old man and make sure you see him out.”
She clung onto Marshall and then said coyly, “Honey, I went shopping today and there were many
things that caught my eye. However, I was alone. How nice if you could have been by my side…”
Marshall did not reply but waited for a moment before removing her hands from his neck and said,
“That’s enough, he’s gone.”
