CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 505

When Katherine and Marshall were having lunch in a restaurant nearby, she got a call from Frances, who told her that they had finished and asked when she would be back.

Katherine paused, a bit surprised, “You have finished?”

Actually Katherine wanna know something about her and Khalid. But she held it back as Nicolas must be still staying with her.

Frances nodded, “Now we are getting back to the curtain shops. Are you coming with us?”

Katherine still deemed it necessary to find out the situation between Khalid and Frances just now. So she replied after some consideration, “Just give me a few minutes. I will be back soon. Would you mind waiting in the car?”

Frances agreed and then hung up the phone.

As Katherine put down her phone, she took a look at Marshall, “Frances said they had finished. But I feel like it has gone beyond my plan.”

Marshall put down the fork as he also heard of what Frances just said on the phone.

So he said, “Alright, let’s go to check.”

As both of them just walked outside, they saw Khalid standing at the gate of that restaurant while smoking.

He seemed to be a bit displeased.

Katherine was the first to walk over, “What happened? They left before you?”

Khalid took a look at her and nodded, “They left 'cause they finished first.”

As Nicolas’s car was parked not far away, Katherine could see them as soon as she looked over her shoulder.

She sighed, having no idea what to ask.

“Alright, I will walk over to check what’s going on. Don’t worry. They won’t be likely to develop a relationship as long as I stay by her side.”

Khalid gave out a bitter smile. No one could tell what was in his mind.

Marshall patted on her shoulder, “Don’t get yourself exhausted.”

Katherine waved at him and left.

Both Frances and Nicolas were in the car, silent.

Katherine opened the door to get in, “You have finished the lunch so soon?”

Nicolas nodded, “Let’s go. I still prefer the last one we picked just now. Let’s go to get it home.”

Frances still kept silent. Then the car was driven away.

After a few seconds of pause, Katherine patted on her hand. While Frances turned to look at her, emotionless.

Her expression told the fact—the planned encounter with Khalid didn’t go well.

Katherine couldn’t help complaining about Khalid’s dullness to express his own feeling.

‘Why don’t you show what you’ve got in front of your rival!’ she grumbled in her mind.

As the car stopped, Nicolas got off to pay for the curtain he preferred. Then he had the size noted down.

But obviously, now the three of them all looked less delighted than what they showed in the morning.

Especially Frances, she looked quite frustrated.

After the purchase, they walked around for a while. Then Katherine said she was tired.

Frances echoed the same as well.

So that was all for today. Nicolas drove them back to the club of Kyle.

Frances still remained silent after she got off. Katherine stood in her front to say goodbye to Nicolas.

Nicolas took a look at Frances. He nodded and then left without staying for one more second.

Not until his car faded away from Katherine’s sight did she turn to look at Frances, “So? Is it messed up?”

Frances sighed, “Not that bad. But our talk ended after a few simple words.”

Katherine nodded, “Alright. So what did you talk about?”

Actually, Frances found it hard to recall the details right now, most of which sounded like chitchat only.

Nervousness and being restrained were what she could recall for that moment.

So embarrassing!
