Katherine woke up just in time as the plane was descending and about to land.
She slept through the entire journey.
She did not feel that bored, however.
The flight attendants reminded everyone to sit tight and wear their seat belts.
Katherine stretched her body and said, “Man, I had such a good nap this whole time.”
Marshall put away his book silently without batting her an eye.
Peter could not help but leaned forward, looked at Katherine and asked, “Kathy, are you going to come
with our boss to the Grant family?”
Katherine looked back at him and replied, “Ask your boss, I don’t even know where I’m going.”
She passed the question to Marshall, who then responded with a ‘hum’ as the answer to Peter’s
question.
When the plane had landed and docked at the terminal, Peter led the way as Katherine and Marshall
followed him off the plane.
Peter went to claim the luggage while the other two headed outside.
Katherine had thought at the back of her mind.
When she saw the people that were waiting for Marshall at the exit, she smiled.
Her thought was correct.
The ones standing at the exit were Mrs. Grant and another woman.
That woman looked slightly different in real life compared to the magazines.
How could she put it, she lacked individuality when she posed for the magazines.
Her pictures in magazines were probably photoshopped into oblivion, and she had copious amounts of
makeup on.
Thus, she had a generic trendy look in magazines.
And now, this woman had none of those add-ons.
She actually looked prettier than she did in magazines.
Katherine grinned on the inside,
She was glad that she did some preparations before leaving for the airport, and now Katherine, with
her beautiful makeup on, was not losing to anyone in terms of beauty.
Slightly surprised, he walked towards Mrs. Grant and asked, “Didn’t I say that you guys don’t need to
come and pick us up?”
As he said that, he shot Clara Henderson a look.
Clara was flustered, “It, it’s just that…”
“I’m the one who wanted to come here, and I dragged Clara along with me.” Mrs. Grant added on
quickly.
She even held Clara’s hand with her own.
Both of them looked like a mother and her daughter.
Peter secretly rolled his eyes beside them.
Katherine was emotionless and stayed silent.
Mrs. Grant wanted to meet Katherine, but she had always ignored her.
The silver lining here was that Katherine was also not interested in conversing with her, which was just
as well.
Marshall looked at Peter then Katherine and said, “Let’s go.”
Katherine’s head was high and assumed an arrogant and proud posture. She walked straight past Mrs.
Grant without doing as much as sparing her a gaze.
The group walked outside the terminal.
Mrs. Grant came prepared, the car that she brought was a private sedan. Not counting the driver, there
were only four vacant seats.
However, the backseats of the car were not exactly spacious, which was difficult for three people to
squeeze into.
Mrs. Grant sat at the front passenger seat and asked Marshall to get into the car.
She then signaled Clara to sit at the back of the car.
Katherine could not be bothered to fight with them for the seats.
She turned around and asked Peter, “I assume that you have called someone from the company to
come and pick us up, yes?”
Peter raised his voice slightly, “I had, they even messaged me just now, saying that they’ve arrived. I’ll
go look for them.”
Marshall also looked around to help find their company car.
Mrs. Grant started to panic, “Marshall, come on, get in the car. Peter and the others will be alright, with
the company car fetching them and all. Everyone’s waiting for you for lunch back in the house.”
Clara went over and opened the rear car door and stood beside it.
She was waiting for Marshall as she stared daggers into him.
Peter looked around and spotted the company car driving towards him.
He quickly waved his hands, “Over here!”
The car driver saw him and slowly parked near them.
It was an urban off-road model, so everyone could tell that it had ample space just by looking at it.
Katherine immediately walked towards the car as Peter held the rear door open for her.
Marshall also went towards the company car as he spoke to Mrs. Grant, “I’ll sit in this car, it’s more
spacious.”
Katherine could not care less about Mrs. Grant and her merry group. As soon as she sat in the car, she
stretched her limbs and was immediately glad that she picked this car, as it was spacious and
comfortable.
Marshall got in the car and sat beside her.
Katherine shot him a look and said, “I don’t mind if you sat in their car. I’ll ask Peter to drop me off at
my place.”
Marshall slumped on the seat. He was also worn out from the long trip.
As he heard what she said, he replied in a low voice, “Stop messing around.”
His tone was one of willy-nilly with a slight touch of spoilage.
