Katherine laughed to hear Hector say so.
She did not feel embarrassed or uncomfortable, not at all.
She said. “No wonder she was so hostile when she looked at me. Hey, you used me as a shield that’s
not right. You made her an enemy of mine.”
Smiling, Hector said. “I had no choice. You‘re the only friend I have, you’re my only resort.
On the stage on the other side of the bar, Hector’s stool was removed. And now a rock singer was
performing.
The entire bar was turned up.
Katherine pour Hector some beer. “Have some?”
Still, Hector shook his head. “I drove here.”
Katherine asked and took the glass. “Then I’ll drink.”
She drained the glass and then asked Hector that if he was going to live with the Bennett now.
Hector nodded. “They got a big house, and lots of spare rooms. I could not find to reason to refuse to
not go back and live there.”
Old Mr. Bennett had even had the servants cleared up Hector’s room so that he could live permanently.
Katherine thought for a few seconds. “Actually, it’s not really a bad thing. A least you have someone to
look after each other. But some of your family, well, what can I say? It makes me uncomfortable just
looking at them. That sister and brother that came today, come on, who do they think they are?”
Hector smiled. “They have been spoiled, and are of ill temper.”
“Tell me about it.”Katherine snorted. “They were so spoiled that they become reckless. They are
unreasonable and disrespectful because they think they have all the love.”
Just like Mrs. Grant.
She’s just a leech latching on Khalid Grant.
Katherine became talkative as the alcohol started to numb her.
She prattled on about her life living with the Grant.
She said that she had a miserable life, that she got scorned by everyone everyday.
She even laughed. “You know what? Even the servant called me a loser in private. I heard them, they
thought I did not know, but I knew everything.
Hector chewed his lips, and looked at Katherine.
Katherine kept smiling. “I was at the bottom of the food chain in the house. Anyone could stamp on me.
Marshall’s mother, she scolded me whenever she wanted on whatever occasion.”
Then she giggled. “And that’s why she was so shocked when I kicked her that day.”
She burst into laughter remembering what happened that day.
She let out a long breath. “You don’t how good I felt back then. I really wanted to give her another kick,
I should’ve punched her in the face. She can insult, but not my parents. Who are they to insult those
tow suckers?”
Her eye became red speaking of her parents. “God know where these tow sucker are now.”
Her helpless smile made Hector frown.
She took another tiff of beer, hissed after swallowing it down, and then continued. “Me and Marshall are
divorced now. I’ll release myself, I won’t fear anyone now. I’ll take a piece of whoever tries to mess with
me.”
She said as she made a pose of ripping, and then giggled goofily.
Hector smiled too. “I did not think that you would live such a life in the Grants.”
Katherine sneered. “I did not either. If I had knew how they think of me, and Marshall dislikes me, I
would never have married to him no matter how deep I love him.”
She was a living person after all, why would her ask for such humiliation?
She just once had the stupidity to think that Marshall just did not love her, and that with time, he would
fall in love with her.
She could not believe that she used to be so confident.
