Clara came with her father and they were standing together.
She was watching the projection carefully and showed a pitiful expression.
Katherine stared at her for a long time and finally looked at somewhere else.
Marshall didn’t realize Clare was present and looked at the host’s direction.
The host spent a long time introducing the content in the pictures and then talked about tonight’s topic. To summarize, this was a dinner party held for donation, aiming at helping children in remote rural areas to go out and to explore the world.
Katherine was supportive with the proposal. However, she didn’t know whether to trust this so-called charity or not.
The host was so calm when he was illustrating the pictures and explaining the content. It could be seen that he didn’t put himself in the children’s shoes with no sign of compassion.
Katherine took a deep breath and found it would be a great loss if the charity got the money and didn’t use it properly. The companies offstage would make those kinds of charities more powerful.
People offstage were all applauding when the host finished the speech. Someone them were discussing about the children and saying them must offer them with enough help.
Katherine couldn’t tell whether they were displaying or not and moved subconsciously.
Marshall noticed it and turned around to look at her, asking, “What’s wrong? Are you not feeling well?”
Katherine hissed and replied, “No, it’s just my shoes. It keeps on rubbing my feet.”
Marshall looked down to check her feet, but Katherine’s gown was too long for him to see clearly.
It was a natural thing for new pair of shoes to be unfit and rub the owner’s feet.
Marshall thought for a while and suggested, “How about going to the second floor to sit with me?”
Katherine hurriedly nodded and answered, “Yes, yes.”
She was sick of this hypocritical scene anyway.
Therefore, Marshall grabbed her arm and took her to the second floor.
There were lots of people upstairs and the space was of the same size as the first floor, expect for small rooms with sofas and tables on the second floor. Maybe those private rooms were prepared for people who wanted to talk about cooperation or business.
Marshall led Katherine to one of those rooms and closed the door. Then Katherine sat down and put off her high-heels. Indeed, her heels were terribly rubbed with broken skins.
