Katherine was amused by Kyle’s somewhat vivid description.
She then nodded, “Well, you do have a point.”
Katherine actually didn’t really care about what Frances was up to, but the truth was, this woman had
bullied her many times before, especially during the one-year marriage she had with Marshall. Though
she had told herself that she didn’t want to get involved with her any more, she cannot hold back her
inner anger.
“Could you look it up for me? I want to know who did she meet in the hospital and what exactly
happened.”
Kyle chuckled, “We’re really the same kind of people here. I’ve already asked someone to look into it.
I’m actually curious myself.”
“Okay then, let me know if you get anything.”
Kyle then excitedly recalled again how did he get Patrick into the hospital like he had won a war.
Katherine didn’t choose to dampen his enthusiasm and just put her phone on the table while cooking.
She would react to his speech once in a while.
Kyle then really got nothing to say in a minute and just asked what Katherine was doing.
Katherine sounded lazy, “I’m cooking. Can’t you hear the running water?”
Kyle paused, “Count me in. I’m be over soon.”
He then just hung up without giving Katherine the chance to reject.
Katherine rolled her eyes and continued cooking.
But before Kyle was here, Marshall showed up.
Katherine just glanced at the figure in the living room and thought it was Kyle, “You can wait in the
dining room. I’m almost ready.”
Marshall came over and leaned against the door, “How come you are so sure that I’ll be here?”
Katherine was taken aback and immediately turned around, “What are you doing here?”
The smile on Marshall’s face slowly faded, “Who are you waiting for then?”
“What are you doing here in my home? Do you need to tell me something? Well, spit it out and go out.
I’m busy.”
Marshall hugged his shoulder and actually felt thick-skinned for in his life, he was always the one who
was sucked up to. This was the first time that he was buttering up someone but got a cold eye.
Marshall said honestly, “I just want to check on you.”
“I don’t see the need really.” Katherine sneered.
Marshall let out a breath and nodded approvingly, “Right, this is really unnecessary.”
But he would just get edgy if he didn’t see her in person.
Now that she was right in front of him, he finally filled up the hole in his heart, but at the same time, he
felt uneasy for she was looking at him indifferently and even annoyingly.
He didn’t like this.
She was supposed to beam at him every time she saw him.
Katherine went to serve the dishes in the dining room.
Marshall just remained motionless and looked at her movement.
Well, this feeling actually reminded him what he was going through on their divorce day.
He sat in his office for a long time that day and even missed the appointment time he made with
Katherine, but he just can’t make up his mind.
He wanted this divorce from the day one, but when it was finally happening, he suddenly got cold feet
for no reason.
Kyle arrived right when Katherine had set the table.
He paused when he realized that Marshall was also here, “What’s the odds! Fancy meeting you here.
Why don’t we have this lunch together.”
Kyle didn’t really regard himself as an outsider and acted like he was in his own home.
Marshall was obviously relieved to see Kyle here, “You are waiting for Kyle?”
Face darkened, Katherine replied, “Go get your own utensils if you want to have lunch here.”
Kyle was way more enthusiastic than Katherine and hurriedly went to the kitchen to get chopsticks for
Marshall, “Here, help yourself!”
Looking at Kyle, Katherine felt powerless.
Kyle wasn’t really an expert in the way of the world and didn’t see that her close contact with her ex-
husband as inappropriate.
Kyle went to sit down and started talking about the Bennetts.
He then suddenly recalled, “Well, Marshall actually helped a lot to deal with those two Bennetts last
time. They really had nothing to say after Marshall showed those materials to Kevin. Marshall, you did
that for Katherine, right?”
Marshall glanced at Katherine who was concentrating on eating.
He then nodded, “Right.”
Kyle giggled, “I knew it! They were always arrogant, but you didn’t choose to give them a lesson until
Katherine was hurt.”
Marshall didn’t reply.
“Why did you get divorced then? I really can’t figure it out.”
Katherine looked up and stared at Kyle, “Well, there are a ton of things you can’t understand. Why
don’t you focus on eating and stop talking?”
Kyle paused, “Someone is in a bad mood today. You are usually not so mean to me.”
Katherine directly answered, “Right, I’m agitated today.”
Kyle got curious, “I’ve told you so many funny gossip today. How come that you are so upset?”
Marshall spoke, “Well, because I showed up.”
Huh, he was pretty self-aware of that.
Katherine then didn’t say a word for the rest of the lunch.
Marshall didn’t stay long after the dinner for he got to go to work.
He then just left after saying goodbye to Katherine and Kyle.
He saw Clara in the reception desk right when he entered the company lobby.
Marshall frowned, “What happened?”
Clara immediately beamed, “Nothing really. I didn’t see you when I went to your office before, so I’m
here to ask them to let me know when you come back.”
Marshall glanced around and saw two gift boxes on the reception desk.
He then nodded and looked at Clara, “Do you need anything?”
Clara looked undisturbed, “Nothing important. I was just dropping by on my way to meet a customer
and thought that I would give you the delivery breakdowns. I’ve given it to Peter.”
Marshall nodded.
Clara thought for a while and said, “I marked some brand attentions in the breakdown. It’s a bit
complicated this time and needs a lot of materials, so just let me know if you run across something that
you don’t understand.”
Clara smiled after Marshall nodded, “I’m gonna go then. See you later.”
Marshall stood in place and turned to the receptionist after Clara left, “Miss Henderson gave you those
stuff?”
The two receptionists looked nervous, “Right, we tried to turn down, but Miss Henderson said those
were just small gifts and insisted on giving them to us.”
Marshall didn’t mean to blame them and just nodded, “It’s okay. You call just call Peter if she sent
something expensive next time and you don’t know how to decline.”
The girls hurriedly nodded, “Got it.”
Marshall then went to his office and saw the file that Clara was talking about.
He skimmed it and put it aside.
He was actually feeling sleepy for having too much, a feeling that he seldom experienced.
Marshall clutched at his nose bridge and leaned against the chair, but his office door was opened
before he can get some shut eyes.
It was Lucas.
He needed Marshall to sign a file.
Marshall took the file and asked, “I heard that you will have a blind date tonight.”
Lucas paused a bit and answered, “Yes.”
Signing the paper, Marshall smiled, “I wish you all the best.”
Lucas stared at Marshall, “I’m just trying to get it over with. I don’t really buy the whole blind date stuff.”
Lucas seemed to be smiling, “I still want to wait a bit more. Maybe, I will get what really belongs to me.”
Marshall froze and surveyed Lucas.
