Marshall nodded and handed the knife to the person beside him, noting, “Well, I see.”
He then checked the time and turned around to go outside when commanding, “Deal with the injury. When people inside wake up, teach them a lesson and see how they will respond.”
The subordinates knew what Marshall meant and told him not to worry. They would get useful information today.
After taking a few steps, Marshall turned around and added, “Give me the information of the seller for that introspection engine.”
Then he left and drove back to the company.
Khalid was having a meeting when Marshall went to his office. There was nobody inside but the table was piled with loads of documents.
Marshall stared at them for a while and frowned. His father must be so busy to look through those documents for work.
Marshall decided to sit down to wait for the meeting to end.
Khalid was almost at the end of his meeting and came in after a short while.
He was startled to see Marshall come and asked, “What’s wrong? I heard you went out just now.”
Marshall simply nodded without further response. He didn’t want his father to know what happened.
He directly changed another topic and noted, “Kathy just called and told me my grandmother had invited Nicolas to have lunch. That’s not good news.”
Khalid got astonished and turned around behind his office table, remarking, “Why is it not? It’s just a lunch to communicate. It’s good.”
Marshall went forward to stand in front of the table, asking, “Do you really think so? If you are telling me this, I have to be honest with you. I think you’re right. Grandmother really likes Nicolas. Mom has a good temper now and looks even younger. I have heard from Kathy that Nicolas is really satisfied with mom. Maybe they will get married after a few communications.”
Khalid didn’t show any emotion but simply nodded.
Marshall stared at him for a while and then smiled after a few seconds.
He nodded and remarked, “Well, I won’t say anything if you think that’s not your business. Just do your work and I have to do mine. We really have lots of things to handle with these days.”
When waiting for the office door to close, Khalid gradually raised up his head. He thought for a while and suddenly closed the document.
Marshall left with a smile while Khalid kept lowering his head to check the documents.
It seemed Marshall really wouldn’t intrude into his business. Not only did Frances change a lot, so did Khalid.
He used to cherish Frances a lot. How could that he didn’t show any response at this crucial point?
Marshall also went back to the office to check documents in the morning.
His door was open. When he finished half of his work, Marshall noticed Khalid was passing by the door.
Khalid held nothing in his hands and seemed to be in a rush.
Marshall noticed what happened and showed a smile because it seemed Khalid couldn’t pretend to calm anymore.
Khalid left the company and drove all the way to the Mason family.
His car stopped opposite to the Mason house. As soon as he stopped, he noticed Nicolas also drove here.
His knew this car because he had seen it yesterday, not a fancy one.
Khalid shook his head and couldn’t figure out why would he not be satisfied with him.
Nicolas drove the car to the door. He then waited for a while for the door to open and drove in,
Khalid lit a cigarette to observe him. He knew it must take a long time if a man was invited to a woman’s hose to have a visit.
He waited for a while until it was almost time and called Frances.
Frances picked up the phone after a long time. She might go outside to pick up the phone because Khalid couldn’t hear any background noise.
Khalid directly asked, “Are you busy?”
