By afternoon, Katherine prepared the desserts and milk tea to send to Marshall and Peter. On her way to Peter, she happened to meet Lucas, who happened to come out of the elevator with other employees. He nodded at her when he saw her. Katherine, with milk tea and desserts in hand was flushed and thought that she'd better send him a share as well since he had already seen it. Luckily, she had bought enough. After coming out of Peter's office, she went back to the break room and took out another plate of desserts and milk tea before heading to see Lucas. Lucas was in his office, files in hands and checking the data on them.
Katherine opened the door and smiled. "Here. I bought extra earlier."
She walked towards his desk and placed it there.
Lucas was shocked for a second, but hastily expressed his gratitude.
Katherine waved her hands, "It's OK! I was even worried whether you'd like it or not. Feel free to have it. I'll be leaving now."
As she turned around, Lucas called out to her. "I guess you came here without Marshall knowing, didn't you?"
Katherine was stunned and turned back to Lucas. She wanted to laugh.
Without any hesitation, she answered. "Don't worry. Marshall is having his eyes stuck to me anytime and anywhere. I guess he's scared of losing me. What a clingy man he is, right? There's nothing I can do about it." As her voice faded, she laughed. She waved her hand and went out of the office.
She instantly stopped laughing once she got outside.
Even for herself, she would never believe something like what she had just said.
Things would be great if it came true. She thought to herself and sweared that if by any chance Marshall came back to her, she would have him suffer all those miserable experiences that she'd been through before and show him what unreachable love exactly was.
While Katherine staggered back to his office, she heard him on the phone with someone.
"OK, I understood." Seeing that Katherine was in, he ended the conversation and hung up, leaving Katherine no chance to figure out who was on the other line.
Lying by his hands were the milk tea and desserts, a single bite out of each — he didn't like their taste.
With his eyes stuck to the computer screen, he said to Katherine, "There is a banquet tomorrow afternoon and I need you to go with me."
