CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 192

A bored Katherine went to the mall. She wasn’t in the mood for buying anything. She simply wanted to be in a crowd. But there wasn’t much of a crowd inside the mall, either. After all, it was a workday, and most people were in work mode.

Katherine decided to go to a jewelry store, as she still needed something to decorate her finger.

There were even fewer people in the store. As soon as Katherine waltzed in, she was warmly greeted by an eager shop assistant.

“I’m looking for a ring,” Katherine simply said.

“This way, ma’am,” said the assistant, raising a hand to guide her inside.

The moment Katherine stopped at the ring counter, her phone rang. It was Hector Bennett.

She picked up instantly. “Aren’t you supposed to be busy? How the hell do you have time for me?”

At the other side of the line, she could hear Hector smile. “It’s almost lunchtime, and I was thinking about asking you to lunch. Where are you?”

Katherine checked the time – it was lunchtime indeed.

She hummed lightly and told him the address. Then she said, “Looks like I’m pretty close to where you are. Do you want to come over then?”

And close to him she was. So Hector agreed, and asked Katherine to wait for him.

Katherine resumed looking through the rings after she hang up.

She usually cooked and cleaned herself, so an extravagant ring certainly wouldn’t do. It’d be better to go for an understated style.

Katherine tried a couple of rings on and couldn’t make up her mind. She was overwhelmed by the options. Fortunately, the shop assistant was patient enough to bring almost all the rings in the shop for her to try on.

Hector arrived before Katherine could decide. He pushed the door open and looked around, only to find Katherine in the inner most corner of the shop.

Hector made his way over. “Shopping for jewelry?”

Katherine glanced at him and nodded. “Yup. Didn’t wear one the other day and I got noticed. That’s why I wanna get one on my finger.”
