Katherine stayed home all the morning. At noon, Peter called her and said that he was going to the store with decorating workers.
Katherine took a taxi to the store with the back-up key from Margaret.
Katherine opened the door.
The professional workers came in and did measurements.
Katherine stood by the door, looking.
After looking around, Peter walked to Katherine, “They will begin to work soon. Would you like to be the monitor, or let me?”
Before Katherine replied, he added, “I think you know nothing about decorating. I can be the monitor if you trust me.”
Katherine smiled, “Of course, I trust you. You just take it. If my store is doing well in the future, I…”
After a pause, she continued, “I can introduce you a girl.”
Peter laughed, “You forget it. You yourself have a mixed relationship with Marshall. You leave me alone.”
With eyes open wide, Katherine glared at Peter.
He laughed and continued, “Well, well. You will have a good future with your ex-husband. I believe you can make it.”
Katherine shook head, “Don’t talk about him. I am a little angry upon thinking of him.”
Marshall didn’t take their relation into further consideration, and he wanted to keep the life this way.
The decorating worker came and asked something. But Katherine knew nothing, so she directly gave the owner’s number to the worker.
Then Katherine told Peter about Kyle’s call and the dinner.
Surprisingly, Peter asked, “When did you make friends with Kyle?”
Katherine smiled, “In face, he is a kind guy, not so rude as the gossip would have it.”
Peter shook head, smiling, “He is kind to you. Actually, he ever had done a lot of things.”
Katherine didn’t mind. She said, “It’s enough that he is kind to me.”
She had few friends. So she was happy to have a friend like Kyle.
Peter was about to say something, but was stopped by his phone call.
It’s from Marshall. He was asking how was going here.
Peter told him that the decorating work can begin according to the design drawing, but some dimensions needed to be adjusted.
Marshall nodded, then asked about Katherine.
Katherine heard his voice, then spoke loudly, “I am here, you want to talk to me?”
Peter shifted the phone to Katherine.
Marshall said, “I have a dinner thing this evening, so I will go home late.”
Katherine intended to tell him that she was going to have a dinner, too. But she didn’t. It’s not necessary to inform each other of such thing based on their current relation.
So she replied, “OK, I see.”
Then Katherine returned the phone to Peter. She began to linger around in the store, following the workers.
After a while, she said to Peter, “I go to copy the key, and leave it to you. you can come here directly in the future.”
