Marshall had a meeting in the morning. As he walked out of the meeting room and headed to his office, he saw Lucas' door was opened.
But instead of Lucas, Clara came out of it.
That was normal, given that Clara was handling over cooperative matters to Lucas.
Clara seemed to be surprised to see Marshall, too.
She greeted him, "Hi, Marshall."
Marshall nodded and looked over to Lucas. "I've got a document for you. You weren't in your office, so they asked me to deliver it to you."
Lucas said yes, and then he looked at Clara. "Miss Henderson, this way, please."
He looked at the elevator, which meant he wanted Clara to leave.
Clara hesitated and turned to Lucas. "I'll show myself out, but I need to catch up with Mr. Grant at first."
Marshall had turned over and opened the door of his office.
He must have heard what Clara said, but he wasn't reacting to it at all.
Khalid smiled, "All right, then please help yourself."
Clara nodded and walked to Marshall's office.
Marshall was already sitting behind the desk. He didn't even look at Clara. "What can I do for you?"
With forced lightness, she pulled a chair over and sat down. "I called Mrs. Grant about what in the hospital last time. It must be a misunderstanding. I am thinking if we should have a meal together as my compensation for you, despite the discrepancy of our thoughts."
Marshall raised her head slowly and looked at Clara. His face wasn't grim, and it wasn't very kind, either.
"No need," He rejected.
Clara took a deep breath and said, "Marshall, are you not going to forgive me? I pushed her, which was wrong, and I've apologized for that, but I wasn't going after Katherin or trying to hurt her. I wasn't!"
Marshall didn't want to get involved in that again because they would never get things straight based on what she said.
Marshall said, "I'm busy now. See you."
He was shutting her out.
Clara read the hint. She looked at Marshall and kept a calm face, but inside, she was almost losing control of herself.
She thought she had never done anything evil, and she and Marshall used to get along with each other well.
They weren't best friends, but at least he was polite to her.
Their relationship had deteriorated fast after the incident in the hospital.
He just kicked her out of his world for seemingly no reason.
Clara pursed her mouth and breathed a few times deeply. Then she said, "Alright then. I'm leaving now because I also got lots of things to do."
Marshall didn't say a word. He was lowering his head and reading the documents.
Clara was a bit embarrassed. She took a look at Marshall and left.
Clara felt a bit miff when she was out from the Grant Group. At the same time, she felt insecure and nervous.
Instead of driving away immediately, she took out her phone and made a call.
On the other side of the phone, Frances was surprised. She held her phone for quite a while before answering.
Clara should be at work at that point in the day. Katherin wondered why Clara had the time to make the call.
Clara used to be busy, even after work.
She didn't seem busy today.
Frances hesitated and picked up the phone.
