CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 408

On the other hand, Mrs. Grant went to the Grant’s Group and happened to see Peter coming out. She walked up to him immediately. "Peter, hold on!"

Peter was making for the car, but stopped upon hearing Mrs. Grant calling him. He was shocked to see her. "It’s you. What’s wrong?"

Mrs. Grant smiled and said, "Isn’t Marshall in the company? He hasn’t answered my calls for days. I’ve been waiting here for a while, but haven’t seen him coming out."

Peter replied, "Mr. Grant isn’t here. He’s away and it has been days. Probably the signal is so poor over there that he has missed your calls."

Mrs. Grant frowned. "Away? On a business trip? Where could it be that has such a bad signal?"

Peter didn’t know whether he should tell the truth or not, but he was aware that Mrs. Grant was not a fan of Katherine. Peter wondered if she would get angry if he told her Marshall was away to look for Katherine.

He hemmed and hawed before replying, "I don’t know where he has gone exactly, but it’s not a business trip, but a personal one, so Mr. Grant didn’t tell me the details, nor did I ask."

Mrs. Grant stared at Peter in astonishment. "A personal trip? What personal trip could he have?"

Peter gave a dry laugh and replied, "Well, I don’t know about that."

Mrs. Grant nodded. "Well, fine. You may go home now, and I’ll make another call to him."

Peter bowed his head at her and left.

Mrs. Grant, however, didn’t call Marshall, but stayed where she was, thought for a while and stopped a taxi, rushing to Katherine’s shop.

There was only Margaret when Mrs. Grant arrived. Since there weren’t many customers, Mrs. Grant simply walked straight in.

"Welcome!" Hardly had Margaret greeted Mrs. Grant than she saw her clearly, stunned. "It’s you, Mrs. Grant."

Mrs. Grant looked around and replied, "Yeah. Where’s Katherine? Why isn’t she here?"

Margaret replied after some consideration, "Katherine has been busy lately, so she didn’t come today."

Mrs. Grant glanced at Margaret out of the corner of her eye in an unconsciously contemptuous way. "Did she tell you why she didn’t come? Or, hasn’t she come for days?"

Margaret thought a moment and answered her, "No, she didn’t tell me, and she hasn’t come for days. After all, she’s my boss. I’m not in the position to ask her why she hasn’t come."

After some time, Mrs. Grant kept on asking, "Have you called Katherine before? Have you asked where she has been?"

Margaret shook her head. "No, I haven’t. I work for her, and it’s inappropriate for me to ask her about that."

Mrs. Grant looked sullen because she got nothing from Margaret, which meant, she had made this trip for nothing. Therefore, she thought for a while and left.

Margaret sent a text message to Katherine after some consideration before she put the phone down and took a deep breath.

The moment Mrs. Grant went out of the shop, she received a call from Clara, who asked in a sweet voice, "Mrs. Grant, are you busy now?"

Mrs. Grant naturally gave a negative answer.

After that, Clara invited Mrs. Grant to dinner, saying that it had been days since they had last met. Mrs. Grant thought for a moment and said yes. The two of them agreed to meet up in a restaurant, and Mrs. Grant took a walk along the road before stopping a taxi.

When she arrived, Clara was reading the menu in a box. She smiled at the sight of Mrs. Grant. "Mrs. Grant, what would you like to eat?"

Mrs. Grant waved her hand. "Don’t bother. I’ll have whatever you have."
