Clara came with her father and they were standing together.
She was watching the projection carefully and showed a pitiful expression.
Katherine stared at her for a long time and finally looked at somewhere else.
Marshall didn’t realize Clare was present and looked at the host’s direction.
The host spent a long time introducing the content in the pictures and then talked about tonight’s topic.
To summarize, this was a dinner party held for donation, aiming at helping children in remote rural
areas to go out and to explore the world.
Katherine was supportive with the proposal. However, she didn’t know whether to trust this so-called
charity or not.
The host was so calm when he was illustrating the pictures and explaining the content. It could be seen
that he didn’t put himself in the children’s shoes with no sign of compassion.
Katherine took a deep breath and found it would be a great loss if the charity got the money and didn’t
use it properly. The companies offstage would make those kinds of charities more powerful.
People offstage were all applauding when the host finished the speech. Someone them were
discussing about the children and saying them must offer them with enough help.
Katherine couldn’t tell whether they were displaying or not and moved subconsciously.
Marshall noticed it and turned around to look at her, asking, “What’s wrong? Are you not feeling well?”
Katherine hissed and replied, “No, it’s just my shoes. It keeps on rubbing my feet.”
Marshall looked down to check her feet, but Katherine’s gown was too long for him to see clearly.
It was a natural thing for new pair of shoes to be unfit and rub the owner’s feet.
Marshall thought for a while and suggested, “How about going to the second floor to sit with me?”
Katherine hurriedly nodded and answered, “Yes, yes.”
She was sick of this hypocritical scene anyway.
Therefore, Marshall grabbed her arm and took her to the second floor.
There were lots of people upstairs and the space was of the same size as the first floor, expect for
small rooms with sofas and tables on the second floor. Maybe those private rooms were prepared for
people who wanted to talk about cooperation or business.
Marshall led Katherine to one of those rooms and closed the door. Then Katherine sat down and put off
her high-heels. Indeed, her heels were terribly rubbed with broken skins.
Maybe men couldn’t understand how it felt, but rubbing the heels could be terribly hurt and people
could hardly stand it.
Marshall went forward and checked her feet carefully, asking, “Do we need to bind up?”
Katherine smiled and said, “Just small injuries. We don’t need to.”
However, she then stared at her feet and asked tentatively, “Well, maybe, can you help me to bring
some bandages?”
It was the first time for Marshall to know bandages could help with this kind of injury. He then nodded
and replied, “Sure. You can wait here.”
The gown was too tight for Katherine and she couldn’t even cross her legs. She sat on the sofa, waved
her feet, and waited for Marshall. However, he didn’t return for a long time.
There should be bandages in the hotel.
Did Marshall go to the pharmacy to buy them?
Katherine waited for a while. Because she didn’t carry her phone, she couldn’t call Marshall.
There were lots of people walking outside and they kept on talking, which made Katherine anxious.
Gradually, she lost the patience to wait any longer and decided to find him herself.
When she got downstairs, the host already finished his speech and most people went away.
She looked for a while in the first floor and didn’t find Marshall.
Finally, she didn’t know what to do and could only ask the waiter to see whether he had bandages or
not.
The waiter hurriedly nodded and picked one from the pocket.
Katherine looked at him and asked, “Do all waiters have bandages with them?”
The waiter smiled and replied, “Yes, we’re.”
Katherine nodded. It seemed it wasn’t the bandage that took Marshall a great deal of time.
She brought the bandage and went towards the backyard.
She found Marshall when she stepped on the grass. However, he wasn’t here alone. Clara was beside
him.
