Katherine stayed home all the morning. At noon, Peter called her and said that he was going to the
store with decorating workers.
Katherine took a taxi to the store with the back-up key from Margaret.
Katherine opened the door.
The professional workers came in and did measurements.
Katherine stood by the door, looking.
After looking around, Peter walked to Katherine, “They will begin to work soon. Would you like to be the
monitor, or let me?”
Before Katherine replied, he added, “I think you know nothing about decorating. I can be the monitor if
you trust me.”
Katherine smiled, “Of course, I trust you. You just take it. If my store is doing well in the future, I…”
After a pause, she continued, “I can introduce you a girl.”
Peter laughed, “You forget it. You yourself have a mixed relationship with Marshall. You leave me
alone.”
With eyes open wide, Katherine glared at Peter.
He laughed and continued, “Well, well. You will have a good future with your ex-husband. I believe you
can make it.”
Katherine shook head, “Don’t talk about him. I am a little angry upon thinking of him.”
Marshall didn’t take their relation into further consideration, and he wanted to keep the life this way.
The decorating worker came and asked something. But Katherine knew nothing, so she directly gave
the owner’s number to the worker.
Then Katherine told Peter about Kyle’s call and the dinner.
Surprisingly, Peter asked, “When did you make friends with Kyle?”
Katherine smiled, “In face, he is a kind guy, not so rude as the gossip would have it.”
Peter shook head, smiling, “He is kind to you. Actually, he ever had done a lot of things.”
Katherine didn’t mind. She said, “It’s enough that he is kind to me.”
She had few friends. So she was happy to have a friend like Kyle.
Peter was about to say something, but was stopped by his phone call.
It’s from Marshall. He was asking how was going here.
Peter told him that the decorating work can begin according to the design drawing, but some
dimensions needed to be adjusted.
Marshall nodded, then asked about Katherine.
Katherine heard his voice, then spoke loudly, “I am here, you want to talk to me?”
Peter shifted the phone to Katherine.
Marshall said, “I have a dinner thing this evening, so I will go home late.”
Katherine intended to tell him that she was going to have a dinner, too. But she didn’t. It’s not
necessary to inform each other of such thing based on their current relation.
So she replied, “OK, I see.”
Then Katherine returned the phone to Peter. She began to linger around in the store, following the
workers.
After a while, she said to Peter, “I go to copy the key, and leave it to you. you can come here directly in
the future.”
Peter smiled, “What about leaving this store to me?”
Her eyes opened wide, “In your dreams maybe.”
Waving hands, Katherine left the store.
She had no idea whether there was a key stall. So she walked along the street, looking.
She still remembered there was an alley where there were many stalls.
However, she happened to come across a familiar face, Lydia, Lucas’s mother.
Before, Katherine had to call her aunt. But she had been looking down upon Katherine, besides, she
never set eyes on Katherine.
So Katherine didn’t feel like greeting her.
What’s more, she had divorced from Marshall, so they had nothing to do with each other.
She acted to be blind, however, she was soon stopped by a calling of her name.
It’s Lucas. He called her loudly, “Katherine, Katherine.”
She stopped and turned to look over.
Lucas stood by Lydia, who was looking at her with an ugly face.
Katherine took a deep breath. Anyway, she stepped forward. After all, she was still constrained by a
title of Marshall’s wife.
Jumping Lydia, Katherine directly said to Lucas, “Why you here?”
He replied, “I just had lunch with my mother, and I am going to return to the company.”
Katherine forced a smile, “Well.”
Lucas continued, “My father’s birthday is around the corner. I have informed Marshall of this, and you
two come back to the Grant house early that day.”
Katherine nodded, “OK, we will.”
Lydia kept silent until Katherine and Lucas stopped talking. She tapped Lucas in his arm, “I go back
first.”
There was a car parking there. And the car was for Lydia’s exclusive use.
Lydia walked to the car. However, she glanced at Lucas before she got in.
He just smiled, then closed the car door for her.
After the car left, Katherine took a sigh of relief, “You have to return to the company.”
But he just said, “What are you doing here? You are looking for something?”
She nodded, “I want to copy a key. I am looking for a key stall.”
Lucas smiled, “I just saw a key stall over there, and I can lead you there.”
Stunned, she nodded, “OK.”
Lucas led her to the other end of the alley, and the key stall was in the inner part.
Katherine asked the vendor to copy a key.
Lucas stood there, “You said that you have a store. Is it close here?”
She nodded, “Yes. When I open my store, you come. I treat you.”
Lucas smiled, “Good, you remember to invite me!”
She nodded, “I want to copy a key. | am looking for a key stall.”
Lucas smiled, “I just saw a key stall over there, and | can lead you there.”
Stunned, she nodded, “OK.”
Lucas led her to the other end of the alley, and the key stall was in the inner part.
Katherine asked the vendor to copy a key.
Lucas stood there, “You said that you have a store. Is it close here?”
She nodded, “Yes. When | open my store, you come. | treat you.”
Lucas smiled, “Good, you remember to invite me!”
