CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 366

Marshall paused upon hearing Clara’s question.

He didn’t want to be too specific to Clara, after all, what happened last night was between him and Katherine.

Moreover, he would only talk dirty to Katherine or someone who he was really close to.

Clara’s identity was a bit sensitive, what’s more, she was his business partner, so he’s got to be serious.

“Nah, I’m just a bit tired, so I’m just going to drop by the store.”

Lips pursed, Clara didn’t say anything.

Clara stopped the car at the next crossroad and said in a while, “I can see that you are getting along well with Miss Jordan. Auntie Frances told me before that you were on bad terms. Well, she must have gotten mistaken.”

Marshall frowned when Clara brought up Frances, “Well, my mom got mistaken a lot, so you don’t have to take her words to heart.”

In a way, Marshall was trying to address the big fuss that Frances made in the hospital.

Sensing that Marshall was trying to change the subject about Katherine, Clara just stopped inquiring further.

She then drove to Katherine’s store and got off the car with Marshall.

There were just Peter and Margaret in the store.

Peter was in charge of collecting money and Margaret was wrapping up for customers.

“It looks like you are getting used to this.” Marshall said to Peter.

Peter looked up in shock and then shrugged his shoulders, “Well, I got the whole morning to practice. I was all thumbs at first.”

Margaret was surprised to see Clara standing behind Marshall, “This must be Miss Henderson.”

Clara then stepped forward and stood next to Marshall, “Yeah, I’m just stopping by.”

Peter Was taken aback, “Miss Henderson came here with our boss?”

Before Clara can even say anything, Marshall explained, “I didn’t manage to get a cab and bumped into Miss Henderson by accident, so she gave me a ride.”

Peter nodded and recalled that Katherine called him yesterday to pick up wasted Marshall, but he was really swamped at that time and didn’t go there.

Marshall didn’t drive his own car now, so he must have stayed overnight at Katherine’s home.

Peter then glanced at Marshall teasingly.

Marshall frowned a bit and looked back warningly and then went to the counter.

Katherine’s stuff was pretty organized and was pleasing to the eye.

Margaret looked up and asked Marshall, “How come that Katherine didn’t come here today? Was she still tired from yesterday?”

“Yeah, she might stop by later. It’s okay. Peter is going to help today, so you can just ask him if you need anything.”

Peter protested, “Stop squeezing me!”

Clara stood for a while and was a bit awkward to be left out by these people.

So she said while they were silent, “I know you are probably busy, so I won’t disturb you anymore. I have to be somewhere, so I’m gonna go.”

Marshall looked at Clara. “Sure.”

He then showed Clara to the door and said thanks.

Clara looked back at Marshall and ended up saying nothing.

Marshall didn’t even ask her and was all calm.

At last, Clara suddenly broke into laughers, “You are nothing like what you are believed to be.”

Marshall raised his eyebrows, “Really?”

Clara nodded, “Don’t you want to know how people are thinking about you?”

“Not really. They don’t see the real me, so I’m not interested.”

Clara paused and commented, “You are sure philosophical about this.”

But Marshall didn’t say anything, so Clara just waved, “I’m gonna go then.”
