Then she gradually got sleepy after tossing and turning on the bed.
What’s more, she got up pretty early today, so Katherine just directly hit the sack.
She slowly dozed off and then woke up drowsily.
She could quite clearly hear a woman and a man talking outside when she sat up.
Katherine sniggered and slowly got out of the bed.
Barefooted, she approached the wardrobe which was housing several pieces of Marshall’s clothes like
shirts and suits.
Katherine then just changed into Marshall’s shirt.
Katherine even undid several of the top buttons facing the mirror which looked way more suggesting.
She then messed up her hair and walked towards the door.
She slowly pushed the door open and even rubbed her eyes symbolically.
Then she said, “Marshall, I’m quite thirsty from the lunch today. Do you have water here?”
The voice outside immediately quieted down.
Katherine blinked her eyes innocently.
Marshall was quite composed, but the face of Clara just straight darkened.
Katherine pretended to be busted and even seemed panicky, “I don’t know you got a visitor here.”
Marshall looked at Katherine, “Go and change your clothes.”
Katherine nodded and hurriedly returned back to the restroom.
But all the panic instantly died away the second she closed the door.
She was beamed with smiles and even hummed songs while changing the clothes.
When she was out again, Clara had obviously calmed down.
She was sitting on the sofa with a glass of water in front of her.
Marshall also had one on his desk which Katherine just gulped down without asking.
This mug was Marshall’s and he probably would just toss it out after she used it.
But Katherine didn’t really care.
She was very much pissed off right now.
She would get all irritated just to see Clara.
And when she was discontented, nobody could just be spared.
Marshall was still sitting on the chair.
Clara looked up and scanned Katherine, “I didn’t expect Miss Jordan to be here.”
Katherine sneered and seemed to be speechless, “I’m Mrs. Grant.”
Clara paused and just smiled, “Sorry, I forgot.”
Katherine smiled back in a fake manner, “It’s okay. You will get used to it.”
Clara would never call her that in a million years.
Katherine then sat across Clara, “Are you here for business? Miss Henderson.”
Clara nodded, “Yeah, I’ll be in charge of working out some cooperation details from now on, so I’m here
to discuss with Mr. Grant.”
Katherine slowly nodded and exclaimed, “Well, I really admire you guys for being so competent. You
are responsible for so many things and can even handle them perfectly. I’m really not cut for that, you
know.”
Clara smiled, “It’s actually not that hard.”
Katherine took a sigh, “Well, it’s really difficult for me. You see, I’m just got used to being taken care of
by men. Luckily, I found a man who are willing to look after me wholeheartedly. It’s really hard for me to
stand on my own, right?”
Covering her mouth, Katherine started laughing and even raised her eyebrows to Marshall.
Leaning against the chair, Marshall seemed to be disinterested in their conversation.
She was insinuating something else and was sure that Clara can get it.
What’s more, she couldn’t really talk her back even she did get what she meant.
All she could do was to agree with Katherine’s words which was beyond satisfying.
Probably it was because of Mrs. Grant, she just couldn’t accept Clara to be with Marshall for she was
forever compared to Clara and humiliated because of her back in the Grant mansion.
This actually wasn’t Clara’s fault, but she just loathed her.
So for her, anyone could be with Marshall but Clara.
Holding the tea cup, Clara sipped it and remained silent.
After all, she had a great upbringing and could still keep a straight face in such an awkward situation.
In contrast, Katherine seemed a bit aggressive.
But Katherine wouldn’t give a damn about it.
