Not a word was uttered during their dinner.
After Marshall cleared up the table after they had finished, Katherine went upstairs.
And soon she same back down again.
This time, she was delicately dressed, and she even put on some makeup.
Marshall was sitting in the sofa watching TV, and was surprised to see Katherine like this. “You’re going
somewhere?”
“Just hang out,” said Katherine, “will be back soon.”
Uncontrollably, Marshall frowned. “Now? It’s late.”
But Katherine didn't pay that any mind. “Yeah, now. Now is the best time, it’s full of liveliness outside.”
Nocturnal life normally began at this point of time.
Marshall asked another question. “With Hector?”
Katherine said yes, and then smiled. “I’ll listen to his songs, he’s really a good singer.”
After, wiggling her body, Katherine left with a bag hanging at her elbow.
Marshall kept staring at her until she vanished off in the dark.
He withdrew his eyes and switched the channel.
A lot of shows were on air at this time.
But without watching the previous episodes, they all puzzled and bored him.
He ended up watching a science show, which was even more boring.
His eyes laid at the screen, but if observed close enough, his eyes were dull.
Obviously, he was drifting off.
Meanwhile, Katherine took a cab to a underground bar.
It’s a small bar with only one public area.
But it was crowded.
Katherine caught sight of Hector instantly the moment she entered.
He was sitting on a stool holding his guitar.
It was a slow tune, he sang a lyrical song.
Actually, songs too soft were not for a place like bar.
Most people looking for a venture preferred Rock’N’Roll.
But maybe it was because of Hector’s nice voice, which made his singing like telling a story, so quite a
lot of people were listening intently.
Katherine sauntered up and found a empty seat to sit.
The seats near Hector were already taken, so she could only find one in the corner.
Hector saw Katherine when she entered.
He smiled at her.
Katherine ordered some beer after sat down.
It would be weird to have juice in a place like this.
But she only asked for two bottles.
No sooner did she sit down that she got hit on.
This time, Katherine did not feel like talking to them, she just pointed at the stage. “He’s my friend, I’m
not alone.”
The cluster scattered instantly when they learned Hector was her friend.
Katherine waited for a while until Hector finished his performance and walked to her.
A lot of people were clapping, maybe Hector had got used to this, he only nodded at the crowd.
Katherine clapped too when Hector stood in front of her. “I think you can be a star. You sing beautifully,
look good. With a little promotion, you will definitely be famous.”
Hector smiled. “Come on. Even if what you say is true, my birth will not make it work.”
He was a bastard. When that was revealed, he’s going to face a hail of accusation.
Katherine sighed. “Well, actually, you are not the one to blame. It’s not fault.”
Hector stared at Katherine. “How great it would if everyone thought the same way as you.”
Katherine waved her hands. “Forget about it, let’s not talk about that. Did you drive here. Want some
beer?”
Hector shook his head. “Nah, I’ll have to go on stage later.”
There was a fruit tray on the table, so Katherine shoved before Hector. “Have some fruit then, wet your
whistle.”
Hector stared at Katherine for a while, then said in a curious tone. “I wonder why he would want to
divorce a girl like you.”
Katherine paused, and then smiled.
She seemed a little helpless. “Maybe people just see differently. No matter how nice I am, he just
doesn’t love me.”
No matter how nice a girl Katherine might be, to Marshall, a man who did not love her, she was
nothing.
