Prev Chapter Next Chapter

Actually, Katherine rarely saw Marshall to be this casual.

He was always on the go when he was with her.

After entering the living room, Katherine asked while changing her shoes, “You haven’t had lunch,

right?”

Marshall turned around, but his face was completely hidden under the reflection of glass lenses.

He nodded in a while.

Katherine then went into the kitchen and started taking out of materials out of the fridge.

The takeaway that Marshall brought home was already gone.

Katherine wondered did Marshall eat it or just toss it.

Katherine then started cooking.

In the meantime, Marshall put down the computer and took off his glasses.

Pinching at his eyebrows, Marshall went to the kitchen.

Marshall just leaned against the kitchen door, “Don’t make mine. I need to go back to the mansion in a

minute.”

Katherine didn’t stop her movements and just answered, “Okay, got it.”

Marshall then turned around and put away his items on the sofa.

Katherine heard the sound of Marshall driving away in the middle of cooking.

She cracked a smile and continued.

She just wanted to whip up a meal, so it actually didn’t make much of a difference whether Marshall

stayed or not.

After having the lunch, Katherine did the dishes and went back to her bedroom to take a rest.

She scrolled through the phone and was amazed by how quick the gossip on the Internet was updated.

The news about the Grants had somewhat disappeared.

Katherine sniggered and took a long breath.

How great was it to have money? Paying online trolls to sway the public opinion and removing the

hashtag from the trending news were no trouble at all.

Katherine then reviewed some of the driving test materials and meant to doze off.

But after she had just closed her eyes, Mrs. Grant called which was definitely an odd thing since she

had never called her.

Katherine directly answered the call but didn’t say anything.

Mrs. Grant was also quiet, but Katherine can somewhat hear the sound of a man talking to a woman.

Katherine just snickered and immediately connected the dots.

Judging from the conversation of Clara with Mrs. Henderson before, Clara must be heading to the

Grants mansion.

Then Marshall just left for mansion.

Well, it was pretty obvious that they were meeting which she should have figured out much earlier.

Katherine didn’t hang up the phone and just listened to their conversation which was not that audible

since Mrs. Grant must be hiding the phone.

From time to time, she could hear Clara’s laughter and Marshall’s brisk voice which suggested that

they must be having a merry chat.

Katherine closed her eyes and regarded their voices as lullaby.

Then she just drifted off gradually, so she didn’t know whether Mrs. Grant had said anything on the

phone or when did she hang up exactly.

Katherine napped for two hours and when she came around, it was about to rain outside.

Katherine then moved the flower stand and returned to the living room.

The owner of the store just texted her and wondered when can she sign the lease agreement.

Katherine checked the weather outside and replied that she was available at the moment.

The landlord seemed urgent and said that he would drive to the store in a minute and sign the contract

with her.

Kathrine then texted back okay and went out to hail a cab with the umbrella.

It did start raining the midway.

The cab stopped in front of the sweets store and the landlord was already waiting.

Katherine then went inside.

The landlord had already prepared the contract which Katherine took a photo and sent it to Peter.

She was really afraid that the landlord would screw her in some terms.

Peter looked it through and replied that there was nothing wrong with the contract now and some of the

conditions had been modified.

Katherine then signed the contract rest assured.

Margaret was standing by the counter and remained silent the whole time.

The landlord probably knew why that she hadn’t greeted him since he was fully aware of the fact that

he had swindled a lot of money from her before.

The contract was made out in two original copies, one copy to be held by each party after they both

had signed the contract with their thumbs.

Then the landlord just left.

It was pouring outside, so Katherine chose to stay in the shop.

She was much at ease after signing the contract, but Margaret was getting edgy.

She said to Katherine in a while, “Let’s go outside after the rain is over. I’m really not in the mood to

work after seeing that obnoxious landlord. I want to have fun.”

Sitting by the window, Katherine looked outside and replied, “Sure.”

Then her phone started vibrating.

It was a voice call from Hector.

Katherine answered it immediately.

Hector’s voice sounded that he was bored, “Where are you?”

Katherine paused and replied, “I’m outside.”

“Alone?”

“Nah.” Katherine then looked at Margret, “With a friend of mine.”

Hector took a breath and said, “Do you want to come over? I’m also with my friend. You guys can meet

up.”

Hector’s friend?

Well, he said that he didn’t have any friends before.

Katherine turned to Margaret and mouthed if she wanted to go out.

Margaret hurriedly nodded, “Yes.”

Katherine then replied to Hector that they would join him later.

After the rain abated, Katherine and Margaret just closed the shop and grabbed a cab to go to the

leisure club that Hector texted her.

The club didn’t have many guests since it was middle of the day.

Hector was waiting for them by the door and first greeted Margaret politely after seeing them. Then he

said to Katherine, “Let’s go inside.”

Katherine had never been at such a place before. While walking inside, she asked curiously, “What are

you doing here?”

Hector smiled, “A friend of mine opened this club, I haven’t been here for a long time and thought that I

would swing by today.”

Katherine raised her eyebrows, “Well, who is this of your friend. He sure sounds loaded.”

Hector just laughed, “Well, he is the only friend of mine who got money.”

There were only a few staff in the club at the moment.

Hector directly led Katherine and Margaret to the second floor which was divided into entertainment

and lounge section.

They then went into a room which was quite spacious with a large game setups and mahjong table on

both sides.

There was a man in pajamas and slippers sitting by the mahjong table.

The mahjong tiles were spreading on the table disorderly and the man was guessing the tiles with them

face down.

Hector then said to him, “Hey, Kyle, my friends are here.”

Kyle then looked up lazily and took a glance of Katherine.

Then his eyes just suddenly lightened up, “Well, well. I’m getting bored here. But we have four people

now, a perfect timing to play mahjong here.”

Hector knew Kyle well who was addicted to mahjong.

He then just turned to Katherine and Margaret, “Do you guys know how to play?”

Katherine was a bit hesitated, “Not really. I only saw other people playing this before.”

Margaret also stuttered, “Me too. I only know some basic rules.”

But Kyle didn’t mind this at all. He hurriedly waved his hand, “Hey, just come over. I can teach you

guys.”

Katherine and Margaret met each other’s eyes and went over.

The pair didn’t say that they were afraid of losing money or anything and just sat down directly.

Kyle was getting drowsy before and just suddenly became energetic.

He pushed all the tiles into the machine and said excitedly, “Here are all the chips. Don’t worry. I won’t

have your money. We are just having fun here. I will treat you to dinner later.”

Katherine really felt like laughing.

Kyle would make a great mahjong partner with Mrs. Grant.

She was also somewhat addicted to mahjong and would call some rich ladies over to play from time to

time, but Old Mrs. Grant didn’t really like this kind of stuff, so she only got the chance to play in the

mansion now and then or threw an excuse to go outside.

Katherine really would love to see Kyle and Mrs. Grant playing together.

After the chips were allocated, the four started playing.

Katherine and Margaret didn’t really understand the complex rules of Mahjong and can’t even see that

they’d completed the sets sometimes.

Compared to Hector, they two were losing constantly.

Kyle won the most, but while he was playing, he was jumping up and down like a monkey the whole

time.

He was sitting across Katherine and next to Margaret, so he chatted with Margaret a lot more.

He then looked at Katherine and said to Margaret, “Hey, Margaret, when you are with them, don’t you

feel like a third wheel?”

Katherine paused

Hector then turned to Kyle.

But Kyle just giggled and changed to another posture, “My bro really has a great taste. He had found

himself this gorgeous girl.”
