Frances immediately knew what Katherine was suggesting by coming in the store.
Frances stood up and said, “Okay, Marshall, I’m gonna go. I’ll call you, but you have to take it.”
Marshall stood up and nodded, “Got it.”
While Marshall was seeing Frances out, Frances turned to Katherine coldly.
Katherine just wanted to slap her in the face.
‘What’s wrong with her? She’s in my turf! What a bitch!’ Katherine thought inside.
Marshall returned in a moment to grab his coat and just left after saying that he had to be somewhere.
Peter also left with Katherine. The store then suddenly got quiet.
Sitting on the chair, Katherine said, “They’d better not come. It’s too hectic here.”
Margaret seemed to be zoning out and didn’t hear Katherine’s words.
Katherine turned to see her, “What are you thinking about?”
Margaret immediately came to herself, “Nothing! Never mind.”
Katherine shut the door early today because she felt exhausted and also told Margaret that she could
also leave if there were not many customers.
While Katherine was taking a cab home, she got Kyle’s call.
Kyle told her that Hector would finally appear in today’s music show.
The tape had already been recorded and it would air today.
Katherine immediately got energetic and said, “Really? Hector would appear?”
Kyle replied yes and said he had confirmed the news with Rosalie.
Katherine had been watching this talented show these days and had discovered a lot of musically
talented people.
Though she was not an expert and can’t comment on them professionally, she can feel that Hector was
competing against some real talents here.
She was worried for him these days, but now that Hector was finally debuting, she suddenly was
relieved as she finally got to see what Hector was really capable of.
Katherine then went home and fixed herself a dinner when she found that she still got some time to
spare. After the dinner, she hurriedly went to the computer to wait for the show to begin.
There were three contestants before Hector. It probably was because Rosalie arranged the
appearance sequence on purpose, those three performed subpar.
So comparatively, Hector was outstanding.
Katherine finally got assured when she heard Hector’s singing.
Sitting on a high stool, Hector was singing to his own guitar.
His voice was both clear and gentle.
As expected, all the tutors wanted to choose him as protégé.
Hector delivered a thanks speech undisturbedly and chose one of the tutors.
When the host asked him the reason, he smiled affectionately, “My girlfriend likes him.”
Katherine was stupefied as she recalled that she did say that she kind of loved one of the tutors when
they were discussing the show.
She didn’t really know his professional background and just loved his two songs.
That tutor smiled and said that he would love to meet Hector’s girlfriend.
Hector also grinned and went to shake the tutor’s hand and also mentioned that he would definitely
introduce them to meet.
Sitting in front of the computer, Katherine felt that Hector was talking about her.
She licked her lips and suddenly got distressed.
While on the other hand, Marshall was also watching the show.
He even smiled when Hector came out and approved his closed training recently.
Hector was the only one that can catch his attention.
Hector’s singing was like he was slowly unraveling a love story.
The affectionate voice was infectious.
But Marshall’s face darkened when he watched to the later part pf the show.
He didn’t know that Katherine loved that tutor and just felt that Hector must have made it up.
Then the next contestant appeared on the stage.
Marshall directly shut off the computer.
‘Shit. I shouldn’t have watched the goddamn show today!’
After pondering for a while, Marshall called Katherine.
He was sure that Katherine had also watched the show.
Katherine picked up the phone in a moment and her voice sounded as impatient as ever.
Marshall asked what she was doing.
Instead of answering the question, Katherine asked back, “What do you want?”
Marshall replied in a while, “Hector appeared on the stage tonight.”
“I know. I watched the show.”
Marshall asked in a while, “So you are that girlfriend?”
Marshall wasn’t exactly interrogating Katherine, but he sounded agitated.
He then added without waiting for Katherine’s answer, “Hector doesn’t know what happened last night,
does he?”
Actually, Marshall just wanted to bring up what happened last night and didn’t mean to tease her.
But these words sounded terrible either way.
Katherine paused for a bit and replied, “Who could it be then? Also, I don’t feel the need to hide what
happened last night from Hector. If he minds it, I would for sure tell him.”
Marshall closed his eyes and could just feel that their conversation was going to be a total fail.
He didn’t mean to say these words in such a tone when he called.
Katherine then continued after Marshall said nothing, “If you are just calling to ask me about this
question, you can just hang up. I’m pretty busy.”
Marshall said wait a moment hurriedly.
He asked after pondering, “How do you think what happened last night?”
Katherine froze and sounded careless, “Last night? Well, didn’t we have many of those before? You
didn’t seem to mind any of those. Why are you fussing about last night all of a sudden?”
She then chuckled like a playboy, “You also got it good last night, didn’t you? We’re both adults and the
sex happened on the basis of mutual consent. Don’t take it seriously. All right?”
Marshall didn’t say anything.
Katherine waited for a while and just hung up the phone.
Katherine’s face immediately changed after the call and she got exasperated.
‘What a douchebag! Who does he think he is? He certainly is in no positon to interrogate me!’
Katherine felt even shittier after the call.
She then got a shower furiously.
After going to bed, her phone started ringing right when she was about to turn off the light.
Katherine took a deep breath and answered the phone, “What are you calling so late for? I got to get
my beauty sleep.”
Kyle was a bit surprised, “What happened? It’s not late. Wat are you being so irritated for?”
Katherine knew what Kyle was going to ask her and just said, “I’m going to sleep. Talk to you later.”
Then she just hung up the phone.
Kyle must be calling to ask her what Hector meant by saying that.
She didn’t really feel like discussing it at this point.
Katherine then covered herself with the comforter.
‘What was he thinking about? He can say it in private as a joke to help me out, but how can he say that
on stage! There are a million of viewers.’
Katherine grabbed her phone to text Hector after tossing and turning.
She just told him to text back when he was available.
