Katherine and Peter decided to have lunch in the restaurant beside and ordered some stir-fries.
Peter’s phone kept vibrating when they were eating.
Peter was helpless and said, “Well, why they keep texting me? Do they think there is no need for assistant to take a break? It’s lunch time now.”
He lowered his head and checked the phone, saying, “Just lots of trivial things.”
Katherine didn’t say anything and waited him to finish the job.
Peter put down his phone and continued, “However, I am still in a good situation because of your ex-husband. With him, people will all show me some respect. He really does me a great favour.”
Katherine smiled, “It’s also because you have done a good job, otherwise, Marshall, with such terrible character, will never keep you with him.”
Peter really liked Katherine’s praise.
He hurriedly nodded and said, “Well, I don’t want to boast, but I have never done something wrong when working for him.”
Katherine hesitated for a while when talking about Lucas and said, “I have a question. Is Lucas getting along well with Marshall? You have to be honest. I won’t tell anyone else.”
Peter frowned and looked at her, asking, “Why you suddenly mention about him? Are you curious?”
Katherine smiled and replied, “I am not at first, but all of you tell me to stay away from him and are hiding something when judging about him. That’s why I get curious.”
Peter said, “Why you are curious about him? He can’t compare with your ex-husband.”
Katherine found what he said was really funny and argued, “What does it have to do with Marshall if I am interested with Lucas?”
Peter suddenly stopped talking and replied her after a few seconds, “Well, then let’s talk about Lucas. Don’t tell your ex-husband about him, otherwise, Marshall will definitely get angry.”
Katherine nodded and replied, “Yes, I see.”
Peter began telling the Grant family’s story.
The Grant family was a large family and contained a variety of people.
No matter what they were plotting, they couldn’t mention it in the public.
Mr. Grant was the oldest among them and went to the company early.
Because he was experienced in dealing with business things, old Mr. Grant naturally let him do more important jobs.
Although jealous, the other three brothers wouldn’t mention it in the public.
Therefore, the other three brothers got along well with each other than with Mr. Grant.
Especially their child, because they were educated in an environment where their parents were isolating Mr. Grant, they all alienated their oldest uncle.
Marshall was an introvert kid when he was little and didn’t bond so much with his brothers.
Now the other two brothers’ children all went abroad and only Marshall and Lucas were running business. Therefore, Peter thought there existed a competing relation between them.
Katherine nodded and said, “I see.”
The reason why Marshall reminded her to keep a distance from Lucas was because he didn’t get along well with him?
Marshall really treated himself as a child? How could he decide others’ friends because his person judgement? He was so naïve.
After having lunch with Peter, Katherine packed up some and brought them to the two decoration workers.
Peter smiled when seeing this, saying, “You are really a good girl.”
Marshall was the one who didn’t know to cherish her and missed her.
When they returned, they took dishes to the workers and set them on the table.
Peter was checking everywhere in the store. He had to point out when the workers were careless because if some problems showed up, it would be hard to make changes in the future.
The decoration workers looked at Peter and said, “Don’t worry. We know you are good people and won’t entrap you.”
After staying here for a while, Peter had to return to the company.
