CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 557

Marshall returned to the company after lunch. Clara was waiting for him there.

 

Marshall looked at Clara, “Why are you here?”

 

Clara smiled. “Nothing. I’m kind of anxious, so I want to come and talk to you. That’ll make me feel at ease.”

 

Marshall frowned. “You’ll make yourself exposed easily.”

 

Clara immediately explained, “It’s OK. They didn’t doubt me!”

 

Marshall didn’t speak any more and walked directly towards the elevator. Clara thought for a while and followed him.

 

She was really anxious, because today, Old Mr. Henderson went to talk to elder Mr. Henderson again. This time, they closed the door and talked for a long time.

 

Clara tried listening to them outside the door for several times and didn’t hear a thing

 

They must have said something important now that they were so strict about preventing others from hearing them.

 

Clara trembled at that thought.

 

Later, elder Mr. Henderson went out directly.

 

Clara wanted to follow him, but she was really afraid of being found.

 

She stayed at home for more than an hour, and then came to find Marshall.

 

Clara felt that Old Mr. Henderson also knew she went to meet Marshall, so he showed a happy smile when she left home.

 

Clara followed Marshall to his office.

 

Peter glanced at Clara several times.

 

No matter what Clara did, Peter didn’t like her. His hatred for her was deep-rooted. It hadn’t changed a bit since Katherine and Marshall divorced.

 

Clara didn’t look at Peter at all. She sat on the sofa, trying to be nonexistent.

 

Peter followed Marshall into his office, took a chair and sat opposite his desk. In fact, there was nothing particularly important. He casually took a document and discussed it with Marshall.

 

Peter just didn’t want Marshall and Clara to be alone in the office.

 

He didn’t want to see that.

 

Clara didn’t seem to understand what Peter meant. Anyway, she sat there motionlessly and didn’t speak.

 

Marshall knew Peter. He looked at Peter and wanted to laugh.

 

 

Peter said to Marshall silently: I’m helping you.

 

Marshall nodded and didn’t speak.

 

Peter was really helping him. If Katherine knew about this, she may not quarrel with him, but she would ignore him again.

 

He was living a quite tough life now.

 

Peter couldn’t stay there discussing the document with Marshall all afternoon. At last, he didn’t have anything to say. He stood up and said to Marshall, “Boss, I should go now.”

 

Marshall said OK.

 

Peter turned around and walked out. When he reached the sofa, he stopped and looked at Clara. “Ms. Henderson, why don’t you follow me to the meeting room and sit for a while? You can have some fruit and a cup of tea.”

 

Hearing this, no matter how brazen Clara was, she couldn’t disagree.

 

She quickly stood up and thanked Peter.

 

Peter smiled innocently, “It’s OK. We’re partners. That’s what I should do.”

 

Peter led Clara out. Marshall laughed. Sometimes Peter was a little stupid, but most of the time, he was quite shrewd.

 

Marshall didn’t know how long Clara had stayed in his company. He was busy and now he needed to get off work anyway.
