Katherine was woken up in the middle of the night.
She curled her lips and said in a hoarse voice. "You bastard, do you mean to wake me up every time you come over?"
Marshall leaned over and kissed her on the mouth. "Sorry. Go ahead."
He was so shameless, but Katherine could do nothing about him for a moment.
She had to turn over and sleep with her back to Marshall.
After a while, Marshall leaned over and held Katherine in his arms.
He dared to take advantage of her when he was drunk, but now he could do nothing but remain quiet.
He fondled Katherine’s belly and closed his eyes.
After sleeping for a while, the phone placed on the bedside table buzzed.
He ignored it at first, but after a while, it buzzed again.
Marshal hesitated and then turned over to take the phone.
He thought it was messages from his staff, but it turned out to be two Facebook messages.
They were sent by Clara. She recalled the first message and said sorry for sending it wrong.
Marshall did not see anything she sent at all, so he simply ignored it and put the phone back.
He was just annoyed by the messages at the midnight.
He hugged Katherine again and slept peacefully.
On the other side, Clara held her phone and waited for the reply from Marshall. But there was no reply.
Actually, she thought it was not too late. Besides, Marshall was the boss, he was busy and could not sleep early.
Clara looked at the phone, hesitating whether to venture to send another message.
She did not contact Marshall for a long time. She thought that she used to be too enthusiastic and wanted to make him neglected.
But the neglect seemed to give a chance to Katherine and him.
Now even Frances became friendly to Katherine, and she felt that she had missed too many things.
She felt nervous for two days.
She wanted to do something but did not know what to do.
Clara waited for a while, and then put her mobile phone aside, turned around, and went out of the room.
She went downstairs to get a bottle of red wine, opened it, and went upstairs directly with it.
When walking to the stairs on the second floor, her grandfather came out of the room and froze on seeing her, "Clara, why haven’t go to bed yet?"
Then Old Mr. Henderson saw the wine in Clara's hand and immediately understood it. He sighed, "Alas."
Then he said nothing else.
Clara nodded to Old Mr. Henderson, "Grandpa, goodnight."
Then she directly went back to the bedroom.
Clara did not take the cup. She just held the bottle and plied herself with the wine.
She felt that obviously she had another chance, and wondered why the opportunity was gone again in the blink of an eye.
She should not listen to others nor be so passive. She should have looked for opportunities to meet Marshal frequently.
She thought that there was no emotional foundation between herself and Marshall, so she had to find opportunities to cultivate his feelings, or he would never be attracted by her.
The more she thought so, the more uncomfortable she felt.
Clara took the mobile phone, and it was still the interface of the Facebook.
She was a bit tipsy and really sent a voice message to him.
She said, "Marshall, do you really have no feelings for me?"
She did not look forward to his reply this time and directly threw her mobile phone aside.
