CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 9

Marshall took no action but just watched expressionlessly.

It’s not until when the man asked her for her number that Katherine realized his purpose. She felt embarrassed and did not know how to refuse him. She never wanted a thing like this, especially on such occasion.

Peter had been making grimace at her.

She stuttered, and then looked up to find Marshall standing a few steps away. From the expression on his face, Katherine supposed that he had been here watching for a while. But she saw no signs of jealousy on his face.

Seeing another man flirting with her could hardly concern him.

Then in a blink of an eye, Katherine gave the stranger her number along with a smile.

Truth to be told, she did not plan to continue using this number anyway, so it doesn’t matter to give them out. The stranger put in her number and called right away. “This is my number, my name’s Smith.”

Katherine smiled and nodded, “I’ll call.”

The man got what he came for so he did not linger any longer but resume to his seat which was in the row behind her, quite near to hers. It was not until then did Marshall walk slowly back to his seat.

Katherine paid him no heed but just looked at her phone.

Marshall did not ask anything, either. He immersed himself in work again.

The stranger started send messages to Katherine the moment he sat down. He told her about his purpose of the trip, how long he is going to stay in Asela Island, and where he’s going and who he will visit. None of those interested Katherine, but she pretended to be patient in reading the messages.

The stranger asked her schedule too.

Katherine told him that she was just traveling and had no specific plan, and that she could leave at any moment if the place did not meet her expectation.

To reply, the man told Katherine that Asela Island was a good place and tried to persuade her to stay for a few more days.

Katherine did not reply to that.
