Marshall accompanied Katherine to walk around and they finally sat down on a bench in the garden.
Marshall rubbed Katherine’s belly and asked, “It’s about time for antenatal appointment. Tell me in advance when you need to go. I will accompany with you.”
Katherine leaned against the bench and noted, “There is no need to. It’s not a complex thing. You can deal with business if you’re business. I and Mrs. Mason can handle it.”
Marshall grabbed her hand and rubbed it in his palms, saying, “There is nothing more important than accompanying you for the antenatal test. I want to participate in all the procedures on our baby’s growth.”
He then turned around to look at her in the eye, saying seriously, “I also wish you can know my resolution that my words I used to promise were sincere.”
It sounded loving, but in some ways awkward.
It was almost time for Marshall to go back to work after sitting for a while.
He sent Katherine to the main building and then drove to the company.
Khalid still didn’t return. Marshall didn’t know how much time he would spend having lunch.
He leaned against the office chair and took out his phone to check. His subordinate had sent him several messages and they were all about today’s interrogation.
Marshall checked every text and then deleted them all.
Peter came in as soon as he put down the phone. “Boss, I have already checked the car. There is nothing wrong. Someone just installed a monitoring device on it and didn’t do anything else.”
Marshall nodded and replied, “Handle with it even if there is nothing else special.”
Peter knew what he meant and answered, “Yes, I know what to do.”
Peter then turned around to leave. When he was opening the door, Marshall noticed Khalid from the crack.
Khalid was passing by with documents in his hands and seemed to be busy all the time.
Marshall checked the time and found working time didn’t even start. He then got up to go outside.
It happened that Khalid just returned to his office, while Marshall followed him up.
Marshall pushed the door open and asked, “Have you had lunch yet? Are you busy all the time?”
Khalid was startled. He then turned around to look at him and answered with a smile, “I am not always busy. It’s just that I get lots of things to deal with today and have to cut off my lunch time.”
Marshall came forward and pulled a chair to sit down, remarking, “Your health is more important. You can never finish endless work. Sometimes it’s better to have a rest.”
Khalid purled up his lips and nodded, “Yes, words are endless.”
Marshall changed another topic and asked, “Actually, I am curious about the loved one you used to tell aunt Lydia. It seems that that woman is also familiar with Lydia. I want to know who that woman is.”
Khalid laughed out loud and remarked, “Have you been confused with this thing since the day I told you about it?”
Marshall crossed his hands and put them on his legs, replying, “Not always, but sometimes I will remind of it.”
Khalid glanced at him and asked, “Well, Marshall, are you afraid of something?”
Marshall didn’t deny it at once but replied, “Not really afraid. I am just being curious and get a bit worried.”
He then explained, “You should know what I am talking about. I don’t worry that you have a relation with the woman you talked about, but I am afraid that the woman will get hurt because your attitude.”
Sighing, Marshall continued, “You know about aunt Lydia’s temper. I am just afraid you will get yourself in trouble.”
Khalid was startled. If Marshall didn’t remind him, he would never think out this point.
It turned out that he was really being inconsiderate.
His words were ambiguous, which resulted Lydia got alert when seeing he was with Katherine the last time.
Khalid sat on the chair and also sighed, saying, “Well, I get it. I was really being inconsiderate.”
When hearing his words, Marshall therefore changed another topic.
He looked around the office and remarked, “Actually, both of us are still young. We can never finish our endless job and have to be trapped in the office forever. Why don’t we remain enthusiastic to go outside to meet more people?”
Khalid closed the documents and noted, “I think I understand why you come to meet me this time. You don’t have to explain too much. I know what I should do.”
Marshall nodded with a smile, replying, “That’s good. It seems that you have to continue you work. I won’t interrupt you.”
