After Kyle left, Katherine went to the window where she can the scene downstairs.
She saw Kyle going downstairs, making a call and pacing and forth automatically after being told something upsetting.
After a while, he got on the car and drove away himself.
Katherine turned around and said to Frances, “Something is wrong with Kyle.”
Frances laughed and stretched herself, “Well, everybody got the little secrets of her/his own. It’s normal.”
She then stood up relaxingly, “This is a good place. I got to check the back yard.”
Katherine didn’t feel like walking around and just waited in the room.
Frances’ phone vibrated after she went out the room.
Clara texted the private room number of the restaurant and the time of the dinner date.
They actually had talked about these details yesterday and she didn’t really have to remind her again.
Frances read the text and deleted it.
Clara was becoming gradually less confident.
The qualities that she liked about Clara were fading away.
Frances didn’t text back and just put the phone away and toured the back yard of the club while Katherine was collapsing on the chair in the room.
Clara also texted Katherine in a few seconds and was reminding the same thing.
In the last sentence of the text, she added, “You got to be there.”
Katherine sneered inside and can even imagine what Clara looked like when she sent the text.
She really didn’t know what kind of moral ground she was holding since why she always acted like that she was going to marry Marshall knowing that there was no chance between them.
Same like Frances, Katherine didn’t text back and was focusing on reading gossips online.
After Clara sent the texts, she waited for a long time and didn’t receive their texts.
Feeling humiliated, she pounded the phone on the table in anger and grinded her teeth.
She took a long time to calm down and went to the pantry.
She had been out of from on work recently and she knew this herself.
Her father had said to her that she wasn’t tough-minded several times which she admitted herself for she had been feeling depressed because of Marshall.
Well, she really hated this feeling, but she can’t help herself when it came to relationship.
Clara frank some water in the pantry to soothe herself and wanted to return to her office.
Right when she was about to come out of the pantry, she saw elder Mr. Henderson passing by while talking to the phone.
She managed to crack a smile and wanted to greet him.
But when she just took a step, she heard him saying, “Yeah, we’ll have the dinner together tonight. Clara booked the restaurant.”
Clara paused and swallowed back the words she was going to say to elder Mr. Henderson.
She frowned and went to the door.
It was empty in the hallway, so though elder Mr. Henderson was lowering his voice, Clara can catch a few words.
He mentioned that Katherine, Marshall and Frances would all be there.
Clara didn’t know what the other side was saying, but she heard that elder Mr. Henderson smiled and replied, “Well, it depends on their performance.”
