Katherine woke up early, then she went downstairs to make breakfast.
Marshall went down later and greeted her by the Kitchen door. He was seemingly not so unhappy that
she locked him out of the room. In other words, it didn’t matter to him where to sleep, which displeased
Katherine. But she comforted herself that Marshall didn’t love her, so it’s fine.
When having breakfast, Marshall told her that Peter would go to the store with the workers and
measure the dimensions. Then he will get the design drawing adjusted. Few days later, they can begin
to decorate the store.
Katherine nodded, “Thanks.”
Marshall surprisingly raised eyes. This woman should be so polite.
Then it’s quiet.
Now they seemed to go back to the days before they divorced, and the only different thing was that
Mrs. Grant wasn’t here.
Marshall finished eating first, “I have to go to work. Peter will contact you at noon.”
Katherine gave no eyes to him, nodding.
After Marshall left, she put down the chopsticks. In fact, she had no appetite.
She got up and cleaned the dining table. Then she sat down on the sofa, just sitting there.
It’s a mess in her mind, which annoyed her so much.
Sitting there for about an hour, her phone rang. She answered the call helplessly.
She said first, “I am busy today, so I have no time to play mahjong with you. You can go to the square
or the park, where the senior citizens often get together. They might be willing to play with you.”
Kyle replied, “I am not calling you for mahjong. I got a thing.”
Then he added, “A serious thing,”
His words surprised Katherine. As known, nothing was serious to Kyle.
Katherine said, “OK, well. You say first.”
Kyle said in a peculiar tone, “I just answered a call from my father. You guess what he said to me.”
Annoyed, Katherine said, “No, you say it now or I hang up.”
Helplessly, Kyle uttered, “You, why not you play along?”
In silence, Katherine just waited.
Kyle had to make it clear, “My father said that the Henderson family contacted him and made an
appointment of a dinner.”
“The Henderson family? Clara’s family?” Surprisingly, it’s really a serious thing.
“Yes.” Kyle replied in a grave tone. “Others will never have contacted my father, because they will be
blocked by my four sisters.”
Katherine licked lips, “Why did the family contact your father? For cooperation?”
The Henderson family just signed a contract with the Grant family, now they began to contact the
Haverford family. What an ambitious family!
Kyle also doubted, “I have no idea. The Henderson family never had mentioned to cooperate with my
family before. But we had just met the Henderson family in a dinner thing, they soon contacted my
family. We have to be careful.”
Katherine knew little about Kyle’s family. She asked, “What do your family do? Do your family have a
business relationship with them?”
The Haverford family had a wide scope in business, after all, Kyle had four sisters and four brothers-in-
law.
Kyle had no interests in business, so he can tell nothing about that.
He said, “Anyway, my family have a wide scope in business. There will be one way for the Henderson
family to go if they want to cooperate with my family.”
Leaning against the sofa, Katherine asked “So why you call me?”
Thinking, Kyle said, “My father wanted me to the dinner, but I wouldn’t like to. But my father required
me to show up and ease the air, so I agreed. But I wouldn’t like to go alone.”
Katherine understood, “You want me to go with you?”
“Clever girl. You know me so well.” Kyle giggled, “If you go with me, I can talk with you.”
Katherine snorted, “But I have no proper role. They will be confused to see me. Besides, I am silly to be
there, after all, the Henderson family is having a dinner with your family.”
“No, you are not silly.” Kyle’s voice sounded unhappy, “I take you there. If they say something hurting
you, I will kick them off.”
Katherine thought for a while, “It’s really inappropriate to have me there.”
She wouldn’t like to go there. They will talk about business at the dinner, which she knew little.
But she was interested in the Henderson family’s purpose.
Kyle tried hard to persuade her, “Go with me please. If you don’t go, I don’t go, too.”
After a second thought, Katherine finally said Yes, “OK, but to make it clear first, I have a bad temper. If
anyone gives me a long face, I will definitely and immediately give it back.”
Kyle laughed, “Before you give back, I will have had a fit.”
Katherine smiled, “OK, you tell me when to go.”
“Today evening perhaps. My father required me to go home today. So I go home first, then I will let
someone to pick you up.”
“OK.” Said Katherine.
Hanging up, Katherine showed a cold smile.
The reason why she agreed to go was that she wanted to see Clara at the dinner. Clara wanted to set
a character of business woman, while Katherine was happy to break her character setting off.
