Marshall sent Katherine to the shop after breakfast.
Katherine thought that was unnecessary. Why would she need him to send her to her own shop? As if she would get lost on the halfway!
Katherine told Marshall to go home and not to stay with her forever.
Marshall paltered with it and asked, "Let me send you to the shop first. I've got plenty of time."
Marshall was so good at changing the subject. Katherine failed to make him leave.
She also didn't want to be too serious about it. When Martial failed to persuade her with facts and reasons, he would turn very unreasonable. Kathrin knew him well enough.
He didn't call the driver over. When they got out, he called a cab and went to the shop with Katherine together.
Marshall was already in the shop. She greeted Kathrin only because didn't see Marshall. "Good morning," She said.
Katherine nodded. "Morning."
She wasn't in a very good mood, which made Margaret a bit surprised. She asked, "Is everything going on well.."
She then stopped before she could finish her words.
Marshall came in behind Katherine and looked at Margaret. "Morning."
Margaret pursed her lips. It had taken her a while to greet him back, "Morning. You're back!"
Marshall hummed and and said nothing.
Katherine didn't sleep well last night, which gave her a headache now.
She wanted to clean the shop, but Margaret had already done that for her. She thanked Margaret and then sat in a chair.
Marshall went to sit in front of Katherine and asked, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Katherine looked up at him and lost patience upon seeing his face. "Why aren't you leaving? What are you doing here?"
Marshall leaned against his chair and replied, "I need some rest. It won't take long. No worries."
Katherine felt a bit tired to see his cheeky face.
She rubbed her temples and gave up haggling with him.
Margaret wiped the counter and said, "I thought you would stay a few more days there."
Marshall smiled. "I was going to, but I've got something urgent, so I came back ahead of schedule."
Margaret brought him a cup of coffee. "Then why are you here with Katherine? Did you meet her on the halfway here?"
Marshall glanced at Katherine. He was trying not to laugh.
Katherine rolled her eyes at her and didn't say anything.
Margaret captured all their micro expression. She had vaguely read something in it.
Marshall took a sip of coffee and then replied, "No, I came back last night. I didn't go home because I went to Katherine's place."
Margaret knew that his old house was halfway up the mountain.
She was surprised by Marshall's answer and even tried to help him explain, "OK, it must be a late flight, and the cab refused you to take you to that remote place in the middle of the night."
Marshall hmmed in a low voice. Maggette took it as a yes.
He had barely finished half of the cup of coffee before he stood up and said, "Thank you for the coffee. I got to go now."
It was about time for him to get busy.
Margaret walked Marshall to the door. She was about to say something, but then she stopped when she found Marshall didn't even notice she was with him.
He called a cab and left. Margaret had stood there for quite a while to see him leaving before she went back to the shop.
Katherine was already at the bar counter. She was making preparations.
Margaret hesitated for a while. Then she walked over and asked, "Did Marshall spend last night in your home?"
Katherine pursed his lips and nodded.
Margaret paused for quite a while and said, "Hector would be devastated if he knows this."
Katherine was taken aback. She hadn't thought what this would do to Hector.
Margaret smacked her lips and said, "You are divorced now. It will hurt your image if the public knows you're still living together."
Katherine took a breath. "Only if he shared your concern."
