Clara was really good at hiding her emotions and seemed undisturbed.
While Katherine was checking the menus, Clara spoke up, “I had some arguments with Miss Jordan in the hospital before and I just lost my cool and fought with you. I got to apologize to you. I didn’t know you are pregnant and would really feel bad if something terrible happened to you.”
Katherine then landed her sight on Clara’s face and smiled, “It’s all right. I have already put that chapter behind my mind. It’s really unnecessary to have this dinner today.”
Clara nodded, “I know that you probably don’t care about that anymore, but I just felt bad and wanted to explain this to you in person.”
Katherine looked at Clara and seemed to be beaming, but actually, there was no smile in her eyes.
She always had mad respect for Clara as she can never be as flexible as her.
If she was in her shoes, she would just part ways with her.
She really didn’t like having unfinished connections with person she didn’t like which would just make her uncomfortable.
Clara was actually make things difficult for both of them by doing this.
Frances and Katherine then ordered a few more dishes and then handed the menu to Marshall, “Here, it’s your turn.”
Marshall grinned, “Well, I like everything that Katherine has ordered. I’ll pass.”
Katherine let out a humph, “You are pretty sweet now.”
Marshall grinned, “Are you trying to get back at me now?”
Katherine pouted and didn’t say anything.
Clara looked at their interaction and was smiling the whole time.
While they were waiting for the dishes, Clara held a glass of water and said to Katherine, “I know that you can’t drink and Marshall has to drive, so I didn’t order wine. Now that I’d like to apologize to you officially with this cup of water instead of wine.”
Katherine looked gentle and held the glass of water to Clara’s direction and just said, “Well, I don’t have my good appetite as before and wouldn’t be able to have anything if I drink now, but I have felt your sincerity and let’s just move on and stop bringing this topic up.”
Clara glanced at the Katherine’s cup and nodded, “Sure.”
Frances also gazed at the cup.
The water was already here when they arrived, so Clara must have poured it, so Katherine was right to be careful.
Frances then examined at Clara who seemed calm and wasn’t showing any trepidation.
She even looked back and was composed.
Clara then turned to Marshall and talked about their business deals.
Marshall was just listening and would say a few words and was obviously uninterested in work matters, but Clara acted like she didn’t sense a thing and was seriously asking him a batch of good that she planned to purchase from the Grant’s company.
Katherine didn’t like hearing this kind of topics and just asked Frances, “I noticed that you got a text on the way here and didn’t text back. What happened? Is it Mr. Grant?”
Frances immediately froze and suppressed her voice, “Can we talk about this in private?”
Katherine blinked her eyes and giggled, “Who are you wary of?”
Though she was deliberately her voice, everyone on the table can hear her words as she wasn’t exactly whispering.
Clara happened to be drinking water and just heard Katherine’s words.
She grabbed the water cup and heard Frances’ reply, “It’s not like that. This is just between us.”
Frances’ words were actually pretty normal, but Clara was still upset.
