On the next day when he went to work, Marshall went straight to meet Khalid who usually arrived at the
company earlier than him.
Sitting in the office, Marshall looked at Khalid, “What’s wrong? You seemed like you didn’t sleep well
last night.”
Khalid replied, “Yeah. It’s okay. I will get some rest later when I get time. What’s wrong? Do you need
anything?”
Marshall nodded, “It’s about working with the Hendersons. I felt like that I shouldn’t get involved with
the Hendersons too much considering the current situation.”
Khalid thought for a while and agreed with his thought.
He had actually considered this before, “I wanted you to avoid this situation long before, but I was
afraid that you might think that I don’t trust you. Now that you have brought up this matter yourself.
Hand over your work to someone else.”
He then continued, “Do you think who would be a good fit for this job?”
Marshall pondered for a moment and answered, “Lucas is a good option.”
“Sure, he is not that swamped now. Let him handle it.” Khalid replied.
Khalid then added, “Lucas had a few blind dates recently, but none of them worked out. Your uncle
Carson is pretty mad.”
Marshall hadn’t followed up on Lucas’ news for a while as he wasn’t considered as a threat after
Katherine was pregnant.
No matter what Lucas was up to, he wouldn’t stand a chance with Katherine, so it was really necessary
for him to worry about Lucas anymore.
Hearing Khalid’s words, Marshall smiled, “Is uncle Carson being too anxious? You can’t hurry on a
marriage. It’s normal that blind dates wouldn’t work out during such a short amount of time.”
Khalid heaved a sigh, “Well, I don’t know. Your uncle and auntie just suddenly want to let Lucas get
married as soon as possible. They are going too far to me. This is probably why that Lucas is feeling
rebellious.”
It was still early, so Marshall just grabbed a seat and sat down, “What happened to all the men in this
family? We are all in a bad luck recently.”
Khalid then suddenly thought of Cora.
Cora even hailed a can to the Grants’ old mansion and waited for him to get home.
Khalid had never been wooed by a girl before and really didn’t know what to do.
In his view, men should be the one chasing girls around.
He was always taking initiatives when he was with Frances before and would always coax her when
she was mad.
Now that a woman was suddenly showing affection towards him and was being so active, he was
feeling rather weird.
Cora didn’t enter the old mansion and just said a few words to him.
She was quite straightforward and just said that she always liked him and since he was married before,
she didn’t get the chance to reveal this love, but now that he was divorced, Cora felt that she can finally
show her love to him publicly.
Cora was as frank as before.
Back when they first had that blind date, Cora said that she would think about getting married, but she
just married someone else.
Khalid actually went to ask her the reason and she just openly said that the man she was marrying to
had better background.
Cora was always direct and honest and wouldn’t hide anything.
Khalid pinched at his nose bridge, “Yeah, god knows what happened to us.”
They didn’t talk much as they still got work to do and Marshall just went back to his office.
Peter went to his office when he just sat down and looked quite secretive as he had investigated
something.
Marshall frowned at Peter.
Peter shut the office door and murmured to Marshall, “Boss, Kyra got something yesterday.”
“What is it?”
Peter took the phone out and showed Marshall a one-minute long video.
There were a group of men and women in the video.
At first, they were just cuddling and kissing around and then as they were all pretty drunk, someone
grabbed something out.
Marshall didn’t know what they were doing and just saw a few bottles laying around on the desk.
Then some people just leaned over to approach those bottles. As they were turning their back at the
camera, Marshall didn’t get to see the whole scene.
Then they started talking and said that this batch was much purer than before and felt much more
comfortable.
Marshall immediately got what was going on.
He glanced at Peter, “Are these people from that underground bank?”
Peter hurriedly nodded, “Yeah, Kyra went to this party with one of these men. She is pretty competent
and got to enter this bank in such a short time.”
Marshall thought for a while and asked, “Did they all take the drug?”
Peter hastily shook his head, “No, Kyra didn’t touch that. They are selling those drugs for money and
wouldn’t let everyone take that.”
Rest assured, Marshall turned to Peter, “What about Husky?”
“He is a smart ass and is quite flexible and knows how to kissing up to people. He is doing a good job
inside the bank. He said that he doesn’t have to collect money now and just need to keep a tab on who
got to do the debt collection. He is actually quite free recently.” Peter quickly answered.
Marshall replied, “He should be safe. Tell him to watch out and don’t touch those drugs.”
Then they discussed what they should do next and Peter just left.
Lucas entered the office in a while.
Marshall actually hadn’t seen Lucas for days.
He was quite busy in the company and only got the chance to say hi to Lucas in the hallway.
He would then go straight to Katherine’s house after work and really didn’t get time to talk with Lucas.
Lucas directly sat on the chair and asked, “I heard that you don’t want to manage the Hendersons’
business in our company anymore and are handing over all the matters to me.”
Marshall opened the file on his desk, “Well, I’m just too busy recently.”
Lucas was amused, “What happened with you and Miss Henderson?”
“Nothing happened.” Marshall didn’t even look at Lucas, “We’re just business partners.”
Lucas licked his mouth, “Well, I can take over this task, but I guess that the Hendersons won’t be
happy about this. If I notify them that I would be responsible for the business relationship later, they
would definitely question you.”
Marshall chortled, “I didn’t sell myself to them, did I? This is just job change inside the company. I don’t
care about what they would think.”
Marshall then glanced at Lucas, “I heard that your blind dates didn’t go too well recently.”
Leaning against the chair, Lucas stared at Marshall, “Not everybody is as lucky as you.”
Marshall was really confused, “Am I lucky?”
Lucas nodded, “Well, you are a lucky dog to me.”
Lips pursed, Marshall mused for a while and didn’t think too much about his words, “Well, I’m indeed
lucky recently.”
Marshall then chuckled, “Don’t be too picky. Arranged marriage could sometimes work.”
