But Katherine didn’t notice Marshall’s strange movements.
She just looked at Marshall solemnly, “I really wondered how on earth could his father know me. I really didn’t go out that much normally.”
Marshall regained his cool and managed to calm down his voice, “You went to his house?”
Katherine nodded and directly said Hector’s house address, “His house is really large and located in the city center. His family must be affluent.”
Marshall heard the location and instantly knew which family Katherine was talking about.
He lowered his head and put away all the files on the desk, “It must be the Bennetts.”
Katherine blinked her eyes, “Right, his last name is indeed Bennett. Do you know him?”
Marshall replied nonchalantly, “I have come across Old Mr. Bennett before in some social engagements, but I don’t exactly know him. We didn’t have any business relations.”
The Bennetts mainly specialized in investments and was reported to have a big presence in the domestic market.
But...
Marshall examined Katherine, “As your friend, I advise you to stay away from that family.”
Katherine curled her lips, “Why?”
Marshall didn’t answer.
Katherine got annoyed and muttered, “First is Lucas, then is Hector. You told me to avoid them, but you never give me a reason. What the hell, Marshall?”
Peter first spoke before Marshall, “Can’t you see? Boss is jealous.”
Marshall and Katherine both turned to Peter.
The smile on Peter’s face just slowly faded away. He then lowered his voice, “I’m just kidding. What are you guys doing? Can’t one throw a joke?”
Then nobody said a word for a while.
Katherine started reading the news from the Internet.
She wondered when can those reporters make an article out of their interviews. She genuinely thought that she had covered everything and given a comprehensive view.
Leaning against the chair, Marshall found that Clara texted him.
She was checking on him about what was going on up on the Internet and wanted to know if it had any impacts on him.
Judging from the text, Clara believed that he didn’t do anything.
Marshall mulled for a while and texted back that he was okay.
