Frances didn’t know why Kyle was asking this question for, and just replied, “What’s wrong? Do you need anything?”
Well, not the kind of thing that he can tell Frances.
Kyle responded, “Nothing important really. I just wanted to chat with him. Is he around?”
Frances replied that Marshall went to the bathroom.
Kyle didn’t press further and said, “Okay then, I will call him later.”
Then he just hung up the phone.
Kyle put the phone aside and sneered, “Marshall is having dinner with Clara. I really got to salute to him. How can he have the appetite to eat with that woman?”
Katherine smiled, “Well, Miss Henderson is both kind and beautiful. Don’t be jealous of her.”
“I’m jealous of her?” Kyle turned around and pointed at his eyes, “You know what, I’m not trying to brag, but I can see right through people. I can immediately tell if one is fake or not. Nobody can hold a candle to me on this matter.”
Katherine glanced at Kyle with the corner of her eyes and smiled, “All right. Do you need anything else? I really want to have some rest.”
It was not exactly late. Kyle mused for a while and figured that he had spent the whole afternoon here, so he should leave anyway.
Then he just said goodbye to Katherine and left.
Katherine fixated her eyes on TV which was airing a music talent show.
There were all sorts of talent show nowadays and there was really not much to watch in their preliminary stages.
But at the later part of the show, all those left were talented ones and it was when the show would become interesting.
After watching for a while, Katherine felt bored and just turned off the TV.
She shut the door and went upstairs slowly.
Clara was actually a pretty good choice. If the Grants can unite the Hendersons by marriage, the two families’ business would for sure blossom.
Katherine went back to her bedroom and checked the balcony. The balcony was closed tightly, so no one would be able to break in.
Katherine looked outside through the window and beat her chest.
She was feeling goddamn upset.
After Marshall left the private room, he just disappeared and didn’t return to the room after Clara and Frances had finished the meal.
Frances felt odd, “Clara, wait here. I will go outside and check on him.”
Clara nodded.
Frances headed out the private room and went to the lobby, but Marshall was not there.
At last, she went to the restaurant’s front door and found that Marshall was sitting in the car.
Frances felt exasperated and disappointed.
She then pounded at the car window.
Marshall reclined the seat and seemed like to be sleeping.
Hearing the tapping on the window, he slowly turned around.
The car window was half down, he just said, “Are you done eating? I’ll send you home.”
Frances suppressed her voice, “Marshall, what are you doing here?”
Marshall cracked a smile, “What are you doing?”
Frances was really stubborn on this matter, “I want you to be together with Clara? Am I wrong?”
Marshall got the window down all the way, “If it’s really what you want, you can be together with her then. Why should I care about what you want?”
