Kyle was a doer. He asked Katherin to call Marshall immediately, telling him to come over tonight.
He also asked Frances to call Khalid and Nicolas, seeming to have forgotten how embarrassing their last dinner was.
The more, the merrier.
Frances stopped him quickly, "Mr. Dixon won't be available. I'll call Khalid over."
It was apparent enough who she favored more.
Kyle wasn't familiar with Nicolas. He nodded and agreed, "That's okay."
He then went out of the room and asked the servant to prepare dinner.
The Kyle that people were familiar with seemed to have returned.
Katherin was leaning on the mahjong table. She couldn't help laughing.
Kyle's recent emotions were almost all influenced by Rosie.
Katherin called Marshall after a while, telling him to come over for dinner.
Marshal hesitated, saying that he already had a plan.
Katherin didn't insist. She let him do his job, which wasn't a very big deal. It was just a casual get-together dinner; it doesn't matter if one or two people were missing.
Marshall hummed and added, "I'll finish my work as early as I can and try to make it there."
Katherin didn't ask him what he was going to do. She only told him repeatedly to stay safe.
Marshall smiled. "No worries, no one dares to touch me."
Katherine felt relieved seeing him being so confident.
After hanging up the phone, Katherine looked at Frances. She still hadn't called Khalid yet.
She still seemed undecided.
Katherin said with a smile, "Just call him. Don't be shy.
Frances tucked her hair and said, "I don't know where to get started."
Marshall might be able to pick Khalid up if he could make it here, and in that way, she wouldn't need to invite Khalid by herself.
Katherin laughed, "There's no need to think about it. You two are getting along very well now. It's just a dinner invitation. I think it's pretty casual."
Frances felt that she was thinking too much, given how bold she used to be. She was calling him over for dinner, and there was nothing hard about it.
Frances took a deep and stood up. Phone in hand, she said, "I'm going out and call him."
Katherin didn't speak. She sighed after Frances left the room.
She had told Frances to be more affectedly distant, but now it seemed that Frances had overdone it.
She needed to be more proactive.
Frances stepped out of the chamber and stood by the window in the corridor.
She didn't know why she felt so embarrassed.
Khalid had visited her at her residence and said something ambiguous.
He asked her which place was more comfortable, her present residence or their old house.
She didn't know how to answer that question, so she said they were both fine.
Khalid smiled and said that her place looked so cozy; he almost had the urge to move in.
Frances felt butterflies in her stomach.
She was also afraid that she was thinking too much.
But she also somehow felt she was right.
The hesitation made her nervous every time she wanted to call Khalid.
That was something she had never felt even when she was young.
She had a blind date with Khalid back then, and to be honest, she wasn't very satisfied with Khalid.
It was not because of his appearance or family background; it was because she knew Khalid once fell in love with Cora before her.
