Kyle glanced at Katherine and pouted, “I knew you would think this way, so I didn’t know how to talk this with you.”
Katherine laughed, “I’m just staying on-topic. I really don’t see anything wrong in her.”
Those law enforcement officials were constantly dealing with serious matters and got to be tough, so there was no way that they would stand Kyle’s willful attitude.
Kyle can be a
Kyle let out a low humph, “But I was just upset. I’ve never been treated this way. I just felt like that she was targeting at me. I was unable to fight back before, but now things had changed, so I would definitely make her life miserable.”
Katherine replied with resignation, “Well, take it easy. You can let off a little steam but don’t go too far with it.”
‘Well, there isn’t a thing in my life that I can’t handle.’ Kyle pursed his lips and thought inside.
He then nodded, “Rest assured. I have nothing to be afraid of. I can settle everything.”
Katherine turned to Kyle and knew that she wouldn’t be able to talk into him, so she just remained silent.
Though Mitchell wasn’t a police officer any more, she didn’t seem like the kind of girl that would be just pushed around, so Kyle wouldn’t necessarily get an upper hand.
As the mahjong machine was ready, they started playing.
The waiter who was playing with them was pretty familiar with Kyle and Katherine at this point, so he asked why that Katherine wasn’t at the club often recently.
Katherine didn’t exactly announce her pregnancy to all the people, so she just smiled with a lingering tone, “Well, I’m swamped these days and got a pretty full schedule.”
Kyle sneered, “Right, you just forgot all your friends now that you got your man around. Well, speaking of this, Hector is coming back soon. Do you know that?”
Katherine pursed her lips, “I don’t know. Did her call you? When is he coming back?”
Kyle nodded, “He should be back in a few days. Well, he is losing his edge recently and my sister said that he was probably under a lot of pressure recently and just gave him a few days off to unwind, so that he can be more vigorous to compete for the champion.”
Kyle didn’t really know Frances and she was his senior, so he was a bit uneasy at first.
But mahjong was really a great activity to nurture relationships, the atmosphere in the room just got much lively in a while.
While stacking the tiles, Kyle said to Frances, “Mrs. Grant, you’d better watch out. I have a ready hand right now.”
Frances didn’t seem to worry at all and replied calmly, “I’ve been winning all this time because of you. You should be the one to be careful.”
Kyle chuckled, “Well, I don’t really know that you are such a good player. You got to come here more in the future. You are a great match.”
Katherine got speechless, “Stop the nonsense. Don’t act like that you are good at this. All those people you are playing with are just pretending to let you win, because you would make a big fuss if you lose. It has nothing to do with your skills. Believe me. I’m telling you the truth.”
The waiter giggled, “Miss Jordan, don’t make it too obvious.”
Kyle paused and immediately widened his eyes, “Well, I got to show you what I can do today then. Don’t dare you to leave this door if you can’t beat me today.”
Katherine and Frances looked at each other and were both amused.
It turned out that Kyle stank at playing mahjong and soon lost all his chips.
Katherine chortled, “Well, Kyle, would you be traumatized because of this? Well, we can manage to let you win.”
Face darkened, Kyle answered, “That is unnecessary. Just let me see what you all got there.”
