Lips pursed, Katherine nodded and closed her door after Marshall had already went back to his room.
Leaning against the bedroom door, Katherine didn’t understand why her face was so hot.
She then took a few deep breathes and went to the bathroom.
Katherine regained her cool after the shower.
Lying on the bed, Katherine told herself that she should stop drawing any foolish fantasies.
But it was actually natural for them to have any unexplained urges since they were that intimate before
and were all alone.
Then Katherine forced herself to think about all the behaviors that Marshall had done to her.
As expected, it worked.
She just stopped having all those wild thoughts.
Katherine rolled over and looked out of the window.
It was really liberating to live halfway up a mountain since she didn’t have to worry about other people’s
peeping even with her curtain wide open.
She can even see the dotting stars which she had only saw from her little village.
Then the sleepiness just rushed all over her after a while.
Katherine then let out a long sigh and drifted into a doze.
While for Marshall, he directly had a cold shower to calm himself down.
He was certain that he had no feelings for Katherine, but he still would get all erotic seeing her which
was absolutely annoying.
He was too familiar with that body to the point that he can picture the insides even with those sparse
fabrics on.
After he got on the bed, Marshall covered himself with the quilt to cool down.
He even wondered if it was a right move to have Katherine lived in the bedroom next to his.
He just felt that this decision would lead to a lot of troubles.
After tossing and turning for a long time, Marshall gradually fell asleep.
But he didn’t sleep soundly.
He dreamed a lot of wild things which were mostly about Katherine on bed.
She would act like that she was bullied by him every time, but still, she dared not to yell at her.
But weirdly, he liked to see Katherine this way.
He was dreaming about this all night.
So on the next day, he looked like he hadn’t slept all night and was all tired.
When he went out after the shower, Katherine was also walking out of her room.
She was in a floral dress which she had worn in Asela Island before.
It obviously didn’t look lady-like, but it was cute anyway.
Katherine seemed to have forgot the awkwardness last night and just teased, “Did you go out for fun
last night? Have you looked into the mirror and checked your dark circles?”
Marshall touched his eyes naturally, “Really?”
Katherine giggled, “Got ya.”
Then she just went downstairs.
Mrs. Grant didn’t come downstairs for breakfast this morning which Katherine assumed it must
because she didn’t want to see her.
Katherine was merry anyway. She didn’t feel like seeing that obnoxious old woman.
By this time, Old Mrs. Grant had already finished her meal since she normally woke up early and would
have breakfast in her bedroom.
So it was only Marshall and Katherine in the dining room.
Though not many Grants would dine in the house, there were a wide range of dishes for breakfast.
Marshall favored the western styled breakfast, so the kitchen would prepare bread, milk and eggs.
With her left leg crossed on the chair, Katherine grabbed a pancake and picked some salted
vegetables and a bowl of porridge to go with it. She much preferred the Chinese styled breakfast.
Marshall glanced at Katherine and smiled imperceptibly.
Though Katherine was slim, she got a great appetite.
She even paired the pancake and porridge with two eggs and several slices of hams.
She then also had some fruit.
Looking at the carefree Katherine, Marshall weirdly wanted to eat more.
After they were all done with the breakfast, Katherine washed her hand and followed Marshall to the
parking ground while humming songs.
After they got on the car, Katherine said, “I don’t want to go to your company today. You could just drop
me off at a random location in the downtown area.”
Marshall didn’t say anything and just started driving.
Katherine was talking about her dreams all the way.
She dreamed about having her own shop and would just bask in the sun if she didn’t have any
customers.
Then she could also sleep in and just enjoyed the process of having money.
Marshall even doubted if she was awake now.
He drove the car into the center district and asked, “Should I drop you off at the next stop.”
Katherine nodded, “Sure, sure.”
