Beyond expectation, Old Mr. Henderson was shocked to see Katherine here. The following Elder Mr. Henderson and Clara, as well as Khalid, shared one expression.
Katherine felt merry inside, greeting, “Hello!”
She guessed it right. They hadn’t left yet.
Clara gave a quick response. She smiled, looking at Katherine, then at Marshall.
“It’s noon. The contract thing is completed. Would you like to have a dinner together?”
Marshall stood up, glancing at Khalid.
Khalid nodded, “Yes, how about having a dinner together! You see. What a coincidence! We have Katherine here this time. So let’s go!”
Katherine readily agreed, smiling, “OK!”
Marshall stepped forward and looked at Katherine, “OK, together.”
Clara glanced at the two, with her expression unchanged.
Marshall got the documents tided up, then went out with Katherine, as well as those guys.
In the elevator, Marshall and Katherine stood in the innermost end, while Khalid and Old the Henderson stood beside the door, having a small talk about the cooperation.
Katherine didn’t understand the talk, so she leaned toward Marshall, saying in a low voice. “When did you leave in the morning? I was so exhausted that I didn’t notice.”
Originally, Katherine was a little shy because of last night.
After their divorce, they did have sex for a few times, but sort of with inevitably external triggers.
But last night, they both were totally sober. So Katherine was a little unnatural to face him. Now, with Clara around here, she left the unnatural feelings behind, and all she wanted was to make Clara unhappy.
Although Katherine deliberately lowered her voice, Clara close to Marshall can hear her clearly.
Marshall turned slightly to Katherine, to see the hickeys on her neck. Frankly speaking, he left the hickeys on purpose.
The hickeys reminded him of last night. They were all clear and the light was on, so he remembered all details.
Marshall also lowered voice, “I checked the wound on your leg in the morning, and you didn’t notice, too.”
Katherine giggled, “So you had my wound dressed.”
Marshall nodded slightly.
With a ding, the door of the elevator opened. Clara went out with others, with a straight back. While Katherine felt pleased, looking at Clara’s back with a big smile.
Katherine shared a car with Marshall, without asking where to go.
Without Clara around, Katherine gave up acting. So she leaned against the back of the chair, sleeping.
In fact, she was not hungry at all, after all, she just had noodles before coming to Marshall. The reason she chose to have lunch with them was to make someone lose their appetites.
Besides, it would be better if Mrs. Grant was here. She missed Mrs. Grant after she hadn’t seen her for quite some time.
After a while, they arrived at a star-rated hotel.
