Marshall first heard this thing, stunned.
Recently, Khalid often returned home late, but Marshall paid little attention to why.
A little while later, he nodded, “He is an adult, and he knows what he is doing.”
Old Mrs. Grant laughed, “You seems to care little about the things of your father.”
Marshall sighed, “My thing is still in a mess. How can I intervene into his matters?”
Old Mrs. Grant leaned against the back of chair, “Your thing is easier.”
However, he shook head, “I don’t think so.”
The affection to him in Katherine’s eyes was gradually fading, which was not a good point.
Marshall drove Old Mrs. Grant back. He got changed and went back to the company after a meal.
His phone rang and was told that Hector was picked up by Rosalie to have his closed training.
Marshall replied, “Okay, I see.”
He then hung up and laughed. Rosalie was really a go-doer.
Relaxing for a while, he began to work. This noon was full and fast.
When it’s time to ring out, Peter came over, which distracted Marshall from his work.
He checked the clock and squeezed his brow ridge. “You go first. I still have something in hand.”
After Peter left, Marshall continued his work.
A short while later, someone entered in.
Marshall didn’t raise head, “What’s up? Documents? Put there and go.”
However, a clear laughter came to his ears. He looked over and then frowned. “Why are you here?”
Clara’s lips still curled but her voice lowered. “I got something depressed and I think I have to talk with you.”
Both of them knew what Clara meant.
His behavior yesterday sort of made Clara embarrassed.
Marshall put the documents down and kept his hands on his thigh with fingers crossed. “Yesterday, I was busy so I left, and there was nothing to do with you.”
Clara came over and got seated opposite to Marshall. “I knew nothing about Mrs. Grant’s behavior. In fact, I thought Mrs. Grant had given up to fix me up with you after the things before. Anyway, I feel so sorry for yesterday. Am I making you in a dilemma?”
“No!” Marshall laughed “It’s nothing.”
Clara looked so ashamed. “I thought over after that. If someone saw us there and made it news, which will play a negative role to both companies. I was careless and things fell through the cracks. Next time, I will contact you first when Mrs. Grant wants me out.
Marshall snorted, “You don’t have to.”
Recently, he had no plan to have a meal with Frances.
Clara came here with a small gift, which looked similar with those at the front desk. She handed it over to Marshall, “It’s one of the gifts from the customer, and I think highly of it. So I bring it to you.”
Marshall said thanks without any interest to know what it was.
Clara put it on the desk and then leaned against the chair. “Mrs. Grant has been so kind to me and I also enjoy the time with Mrs. Grant. Perhaps, we had an engagement, so she still wants me to be her daughter-in-law. How about I make some time and explain to her?”
Marshall seemed to care little about that, “My mother listens to nobody, so forget it.”
Clara accordingly nodded, “Yes, Mrs. Grant is a little obstinate. In fact, I have explained several times, but it transparently doesn’t work.”
