Marshall first heard this thing, stunned.
Recently, Khalid often returned home late, but Marshall paid little attention to why.
A little while later, he nodded, “He is an adult, and he knows what he is doing.”
Old Mrs. Grant laughed, “You seems to care little about the things of your father.”
Marshall sighed, “My thing is still in a mess. How can I intervene into his matters?”
Old Mrs. Grant leaned against the back of chair, “Your thing is easier.”
However, he shook head, “I don’t think so.”
The affection to him in Katherine’s eyes was gradually fading, which was not a good point.
Marshall drove Old Mrs. Grant back. He got changed and went back to the company after a meal.
His phone rang and was told that Hector was picked up by Rosalie to have his closed training.
Marshall replied, “Okay, I see.”
He then hung up and laughed. Rosalie was really a go-doer.
Relaxing for a while, he began to work. This noon was full and fast.
When it’s time to ring out, Peter came over, which distracted Marshall from his work.
He checked the clock and squeezed his brow ridge. “You go first. I still have something in hand.”
After Peter left, Marshall continued his work.
A short while later, someone entered in.
Marshall didn’t raise head, “What’s up? Documents? Put there and go.”
However, a clear laughter came to his ears. He looked over and then frowned. “Why are you here?”
Clara’s lips still curled but her voice lowered. “I got something depressed and I think I have to talk with
you.”
Both of them knew what Clara meant.
His behavior yesterday sort of made Clara embarrassed.
Marshall put the documents down and kept his hands on his thigh with fingers crossed. “Yesterday, I
was busy so I left, and there was nothing to do with you.”
Clara came over and got seated opposite to Marshall. “I knew nothing about Mrs. Grant’s behavior. In
fact, I thought Mrs. Grant had given up to fix me up with you after the things before. Anyway, I feel so
sorry for yesterday. Am I making you in a dilemma?”
“No!” Marshall laughed “It’s nothing.”
Clara looked so ashamed. “I thought over after that. If someone saw us there and made it news, which
will play a negative role to both companies. I was careless and things fell through the cracks. Next time,
I will contact you first when Mrs. Grant wants me out.
Marshall snorted, “You don’t have to.”
Recently, he had no plan to have a meal with Frances.
Clara came here with a small gift, which looked similar with those at the front desk. She handed it over
to Marshall, “It’s one of the gifts from the customer, and I think highly of it. So I bring it to you.”
Marshall said thanks without any interest to know what it was.
Clara put it on the desk and then leaned against the chair. “Mrs. Grant has been so kind to me and I
also enjoy the time with Mrs. Grant. Perhaps, we had an engagement, so she still wants me to be her
daughter-in-law. How about I make some time and explain to her?”
Marshall seemed to care little about that, “My mother listens to nobody, so forget it.”
Clara accordingly nodded, “Yes, Mrs. Grant is a little obstinate. In fact, I have explained several times,
but it transparently doesn’t work.”
Marshall was not intended to talk about that, so he took out the supply book Clara sent to him before.
“With you here, I’d like to figure out something about the supply book.”
Clara leaned close to his desk and tried to see the document more clearly.
So close to each other, Marshall smelled her fragrance of jasmine, which made him frown.
Clara glanced at the supply book and smiled, “The marks really make it difficult to understand. I get the
notes in my phone.”
She found a picture and showed it to him, leaning closer.
Marshall glanced at the screen, “You send the picture to me and I’ll check it later.”
Clara paused and then exclaimed, “I forgot all about this way.”
Marshall didn’t give any reaction.
Clara soon sent the picture to Marshall, feeling upset.
The reason why she kept the notes picture was to make more chances to meet Marshall. So the given
supply book was made difficult to understand on purpose.
Clara then turned a topic, “How is Old Mr. Mason? I heard that there was something wrong with him
and Mrs. Grant is taking care of him recently.”
Old Mr. Mason was not well. He was so angry of Frances that sickness attacked him.
But Frances did well in finding excuses.
Marshall replied, “He is better now, but he needs someone around. My mother is so worried, so she
takes care of him herself.”
Clara sighed, “It’s common. The older a man is, the easier he gets ill. But there is nothing serious.
Before, my grandfather...”
All of a sudden, she swallowed her words. Blinking, she began to laugh.
Marshall was clear of what she was intended to say.
Before he went to break off their engagement, which also attacked Old Mr. Grant.
And Marshall was told about her grandfather. At that time, Khalid advised that Marshall should go and
pay a visit. But Old Mrs. Grant stopped him, and she said that Marshall will make it worse and worse.
They’d better pretend that they knew nothing about that.
Clara sipped the lips, “You are busy, right? I have to go now.”
Her awkward face was telling that she had to leave now because of the awkward air here.
Marshall nodded, “Ok, bye.”
Clara stood up, “Bye.”
She showed a smile and then left.
The courteous smile faded away and a complicated look climbed Marshall’s face, with his eyes
narrowed.
Clara left his office and entered the elevator. She then burst into laughter.
She used to hate that kind of person with two faces but now she became that kind of person she hated.
What a spoof!
Clara, standing out of the company, turned over to see the building, and she whispered, “Marshall, why
you fell in love with someone else?”
Knowing nothing about Clara’s thoughts, Marshall finished his work and took out his phone.
Subconsciously, he checked Katherine’s moments.
She posted a photo of herself on her moment in this early evening. In the photo, she stood at the gate
of her shop with a big smile, the luster of sunset on her face.
There were several eye-catching characters on the shop plaque.
Without Echo.
The characters were so annoying.
