That man was stunned because of his sudden question.
He raised his head to look at Peter, smiling awkwardly, “Well, it depends on the adjustment of the designer. But commonly speaking, it will be finished before noon.”
Peter nodded and squatted down to watch those tools, “You got so many to use? I can’t even name one of them.”
That man smiled, “But your forte is about the office.”
Peter looked at him, “How long have you been working on it?”
That man paused and then looked at Peter. But he still answered, “About five years. I once owed my own business. But I only earned a little. So I am here to work for the company.”
Peter nodded and smiled to watch him checking the cameras.
Marshall kept watching in the yard. After quite a while, he said to both Katherine and Frances, “Just back to the room to take a rest. Peter and I will stay for watching.”
Katherine agreed so. After all, that guy didn’t seem to have a chance under surveillance.
She nodded and held Frances’s arm, “Alright, let’s get back to the room.”
Frances was also a bit tired after watching them working for a while.
She nodded and entered the parlor with Katherine.
As Katherine walked in, she happened to pass that guy.
She turned to look at him while that man happened to raise his head to look at her.
Then there came an eye contact.
That man looked emotionless with a poker face.
But Katherine wore a mysterious smile.
That man suddenly stopped when seeing that. He fixed his eyes on her.
Katherine shifted her gaze off from him and went upstairs with Frances.
Then they entered the bedroom of Katherine.
Frances didn’t utter until she closed the door, “Why were you smiling at that man? Did you notice something wrong?”
Katherine sat on the bed with her back against the wall, “Nothing. I was just curious about his face. So I watched him for a few seconds.”
Frances huffed, speechless.
She then walked over to the window and stood still. She sighed, “What’s wrong with my life? I only expect that everything will be fine when you give birth to the baby. But now just look! Those troubles seem to be endless!”
After pondering for seconds, Katherine said, “But some people wanna kill my baby.”
Frances turned to look at her. Of course, she could tell whom she was referring to.
As Katherine was sitting on the bed, her phone rang.
She grabbed her phone to check. But then she frowned and hung it up.
Frances was a bit surprised, “Why don’t you answer it? Who’s calling you?”
Katherine let out her breath, “Just a crank call. I have got a lot of calls like that. So I hung it up.”
Frances nodded and didn’t notice anything weird.
Katherine felt a bit bored while sitting still. After checking her phone for a while, she lay down.
As the sleepiness still lingered due to pregnancy, she felt like sleeping.
So she asked Frances to draw the curtain on her side. And then she fell asleep.
Frances returned to her own room after staying for a while.
As Katherine was in sound sleep, her phone rang again.
