Hector didn’t seem to be embarrassed and just asked, “Where is Katherine?”
Marshall half turned and looked outside of the office, but failed to see Katherine and Peter, then he replied, “She is out. Do you need something?”
Hector froze for a while and answered, “I will call her later then.”
Then he just hung up the phone.
Clutching at Katherine’s phone, Marshall stood for a minute and then snickered.
Hector must have known his relationship with Katherine, otherwise, he won’t be so calm.
Anyone would get uncomfortable if a call to a woman was picked up by her husband.
But Hector didn’t.
Marshall felt that Katherine must have told him about the divorce.
She really believed in him then.
Marshall didn’t delete the call history and just threw the phone back to the sofa.
After he just sat down, Katherine and Peter returned.
Peter ordered a bunch, so the dishes were placed all over the tea table across the sofa.
While setting the tableware, Katherine called Marshall, “Hey, come over and grab a bite. You didn’t have the breakfast this morning.
Peter paused and glanced at Katherine, “He didn’t have the breakfast? Then he hadn’t eaten all day. He had been busy all morning. Well, one’s body is bound to suffer if he doesn’t eat well.”
Katherine chortled, “What’s the big deal? It’s just that he skipped a meal. There is no need to freak out.”
Peter froze and didn’t expect Katherine would react this way.
He meant to let her worry.
Peter stole a glance of Marshall and noticed that he didn’t have any mood swings.
Then he felt much at ease.
Marshall joined the table after Katherine and Peter had set everything up.
He sat next to Peter.
Then he spoke after having a mouthful of rice, “Your friend just called. He called twice, so I picked it up for you.”
Katherine was surprised, “Who is it?”
Marshall frowned, “His contact remark is Hector.”
