After gone to the temple, Marshall reversed his attitude, and he didn’t contact Katherine for days on
purpose.
Katherine wondered why at the beginning. Did he understand her attitudes from her words that day? Or
he was in a cold war with her because he was angry.
As her shop was open, she ignored everything about Marshall.
She just shared the opening on comments one day earlier, and she informed no one of this opening
thing deliberately. But at the opening day, the area in front of the shop was full of baskets of flowers.
The flowers were from Peter, and he texted Katherine to tell that the flowers had nothing to do with
Marshall.
Katherine smiled, thinking that it didn’t matter to her.
Then Kyle also sent his opening gifts here, and they were fireworks.
Katherine looked at Kyle, “It’s day now, why you take so much fireworks?”
Kyle opened eyes wide, “Your opening is at day and I can do nothing. If it is at night, I can light the
night with fireworks to celebrate your opening ceremony.”
At day, the fireworks played no role, but bangers.
There were various kinds of drinks and desserts all made by Katherine and Margaret.
Kyle took a seat beside a window, and Katherine served him with near all kinds of goods in her shop.
Kyle squeezed her face, “My affections on you pay off.”
Katherine clapped his hand, “Behave yourself.”
He then sighed, “What a pity it is that Hector is not here.”
Hector was in his closed training, and the phone was not allowed. Katherine had no contact with him
for long, worrying whether he was used to the life there.
Some neighbors came and Margaret was busy there. Noticing that, Katherine finished talk with Kyle
and went to give a hand.
Busy with the neighbors, Katherine was not aware that Peter arrived.
He didn’t disturb her and turned to Kyle.
Kyle glanced at Peter, “Your boss doesn’t come?”
Peter laughed and fetched out his phone, “My boss is kind of flouncy and he said that this opening is a
little thing. But he let me take some photos. Why is an adult so childish?”
Kyle was stunned but said nothing.
While Peter whispered to himself. “They don’t have a quarrel recently. Why they act like this? It’s so
peculiar.”
Kyle sniggered, “So you just forget it. They obviously still love each other, but I doubt why they have to
get a divorce. Do they have too much good time? So they want a different one?”
Shaking head, Peter took the untouched disserts and began to enjoy.
Some neighbors came to support them, while they had true customers. So they kept busy till noon.
Peter had long left. Katherine came over to Kyle, “I saw Peter, why he left so soon?”
Kyle leaned against the chair, “Perhaps someone wants him in the company.”
Katherine got herself seated opposite Kyle, smiling, “It’s the first time that I run a store. It’s amazing.”
Kyle laughed, “I noticed that you were very warm with your customers. If you can keep it that way, I
believe that you will make it.”
Then he looked over to the outside, “Well, I have kept sitting here for all the morning and I have to go
back to catch up on my sleep. I got up so early to buy you the fireworks.”
Katherine smiled, “Ok, you go back and have a good rest,”
After Kyle walked out of the store, he raised eyes to see a familiar car parking at the opposite street.
He snorted, “There must be something wrong with both of them.”
Marshall in the car looked over at Katherine who was busy in her store.
Katherine in the store overlapped that one in their kitchen.
Leaning against the chair, he took out his cigarette box, feeling ease inside.
At noon, there were few customers in the store. So Katherine took this opportunity to have a break with
a cup of coffee beside the window.
Sipping and looking through the window, her hands holding the cup to her lips paused suddenly.
Thinking for a while, she made another cup of coffee and walked to Marshall with the coffee.
She tapped the window of the car. Marshall seemed to fall in a sleep, and he rolled down the window
seconds later
She handed the coffee over to Marshall, “It’s for you. Finishing drinking, you can go back to your
company and have a sleep, rather than sleep here.”
Marshall picked the coffee without words, while Katherine returned to her seat, relaxing.
Marshall did drive away a while later. Seeing the disappearing car, Katherine laughed.
It’s a full day. In the evening, Katherine saw the last customer out.
Taking a seat, Katherine and Margaret stretched with a big smile. Margaret sighed, “I never had such a
full day before when I ran my store myself.”
Katherine spoke, “We got a good start. How about having a celebration party? On me.”
Then Katherine took Margaret to her house. They were in similar good shapes, so they both got
dressed there.
After getting changed, Katherine gave a call to Kyle, telling that there will be a party.
As energetic as Kyle, he happily promised that he will be there.
Hector was away, so Katherine called Peter. After all, he sent a lot of baskets of flowers today.
Peter hesitated for a while whether to pick Marshall with him when he was on the call with Katherine.
While Katherine said, “He is busy. Besides, we will be happier without him there.”
Katherine and Margaret took a taxi to the party place, a KTV, where Kyle was a VIP there.
On the way, the driver asked, “Miss, do you piss off somebody?”
His words puzzled Katherine, “What? We don’t, why?”
The driver looked at the girls through the rear mirror, saying nothing.
When they arrived at the party place, the driver cautioned, “You’d better be careful at night. It’s late and
you are girls. Take care.”
Katherine thought the driver cautioned them out of kindness, so she thanked him with a smile.
After the girls entered the KTV, the driver looked at the KTV gate from the rear mirror before driving
away.
Another car pulled over there, but no one got out of it.
