Katherine was surprised. She raised her head and looked at Peter. "Throwing herself at him?”
Peter nodded and looked very serious, "Yes, I picked up his phone this morning, and the woman was right at his door. She was dressed ... very inappropriately and trying her best to throw herself at your ex-husband. But he was very calm and hold his ground, didn’t panic, and guess what….?”
Peter just stopped and left Katherine hanging.
Katherine was cooperative and asked, “What?"
Peter opened his eyes widely and said, “That women confessed to your ex in person, saying how she had feelings for him for a long time, but Marshall wasn't slightly touched by all of that. He told her that he had a very happy marriage with his wife."
Of course Peter made that up.
Then he continued, "That woman was humiliated and went ballistic. Saying how your husband was drugged and must have slept with some other woman. If that got out, it will ruin Marshall's reputation," Peter sincerely made those absurd things up, “Your ex-husband burst out laughing and admitted that he did had been drugged, but he was with his wife then... his wife! Did you hear that……!”
"Yeah? What about that?" Katherine asked.
She swallowed down the question when she saw Peter's exaggerated expression.
Peter looked at Katherine and said, "To tell you the truth... most man would not be choosy once they are drugged. Any woman will do. Look at Marshall! He braced himself and escaped! That’s not easy you know!"
Katherine paused, she jumped off the bed. Then she walked to the window and checked the weather.
It was hot outside and the sun was very bright.
But somehow she still felt a bit chilliness.
She didn't know where that cold breeze came from.
What Peter had just said, you shouldn’t believe every single word he dished out, there must be some exaggeration in the story.
But, the women threw herself at Marshall, this was real.
Katherine didn’t continue Peter’s conversation, she just waited and finally said, "I'm a bit starving. Let's go down and grab a bite."
Peter stood up and naturally changed the topic, "Are you still having a stomachache? Did you eat breakfast?”
Peter thought as long as she really listened, he could still see some hope between the two.
Katherine closed her eyes. Indeed she didn't have breakfast because she had no appetite.
Peter immediately said, "Then let’s hurry up. I'll go with you.”
"Why do you need to come with me?” Katherine obviously didn't like that.
Peter sounded very reasonable, “If I don’t go with you, who knows what you would order, let me tell you, your stomach is weak now, and you should avoid heavy flavored food. You should take this seriously.”
Katherine laughed. She stared at Peter for quite a while and said, "Fine, let's go.”
Peter sometimes could be unreliable, but he was always good to Katherine.
The two of them walked out of the room, on the way to the elevator, Peter came running towards Marshall’s door.
