Marshall cracked a smile and clearly despised Peter’s words.
He really didn’t care about any people’s feelings apart from Katherine’s.
After Peter left the office, Marshall leaned against the chair and skimmed through the file.
But all he can think of was Clara’s words.
Though she looked depressed, she was clearly serious and shouldn’t be just throwing those words
around.
Marshall felt that it must be a warning.
Clara must have heard about something, but was inconvenient to tell him the truth, so she just warned
him.
Something that she was pretty difficult to speak up should be about the Hendersons.
Marshall took out a cigarette from the box and placed it between his lips. He didn’t light it and just bit it.
There were too many things going on now and he was really in no mood to work, so he just retraced all
the matters in his mind.
After lunch, Katherine took a nap and was woken up by Kyle’s phone call.
Kyle seemed gloomy and asked where was Katherine.
Katherine laughed, “Well, where can I be now except for the mansion?”
Kyle replied okay and wondered if she wanted to go out now.
Before Katherine can say anything, he muttered, “Hector said that his holidays are going to be over
soon and is going back tomorrow. Well, he doesn’t really too many days off and we didn’t get the
chance to talk with each other.”
Katherine was surprised. “What happened? How come that he is going back so soon?”
Kyle groaned, “Yeah, true that. I called my sister Rosalie and she told me to stop asking so much. I
don’t really understand. What would happen if I ask her?”
Katherine didn’t really know what to say and just let out a sigh, “Well, they must be busy. After all, the
show is about to wrap up and Hector probably needs to go back and practice a lot.”
Though his rank had been pre-determined, he got to convince the audiences with a great performance
on stage.
Kyle hemmed and was still upset.
He then asked if Katherine got the time to go out and said that he wanted to have dinner with just her
and Hector.
There were too many people around last time and they really didn’t chat with each other seriously, so
that he wanted to have a private dinner.
Katherine hesitated for a bit and said okay.
The vibe in the last dinner was really awkward because of Marshall and Katherine felt sorry towards
Hector as he clearly didn’t eat much.
The welcome back party was a total fail.
So Katherine wanted to make up for it for a long time and wanted to find a time to treat Hector to dinner
privately.
But she didn’t really expect Hector to be back so soon.
Katherine immediately answered that she got time and Kyle told her to meet them in his club where
they had fun with each other the most before and where they would be much more relaxed.
They she just hung up the phone and dressed up and went downstairs.
Old Mr. Grant wasn’t downstairs and should be resting in her room.
Katherine then told the maid to let old Mrs. Grant know that she went out when she woke up.
Marshall was pretty thoughtful and had drivers to drive Katherine around.
She then went to Kyle’s club and Hector hadn’t arrived yet.
Kyle was sitting in the lobby, but the big gold chain had been taken off and he was fiddling with it in his
hand like he was twiddling the beads.
Katherine giggled, “What happened? What made you to finally take off the big gold chain?”
Kyle looked up and glanced at Katherine and just throw the chain on the sofa.
He sounded mad, “You don’t understand it. This is the symbol of my status. You are really cheesy.”
Katherine really didn’t know that it took an ugly and gaudy gold chain to symbolize one’s status.
She sat down and examined the gold chain which was kind of heavy and must be worth of a lot of
money.
But it was really degrading and it looked kind of fake since it was too large.
Katherine touched the beads and found the workmanship quite meticulous, but the surface of it was a
bit wear and tear since Kyle had been wearing it for a long time.
Katherine then just asked, “What happened? How come that you just took it off? You never listened
when I laughed at you about this before.”
Kyle seemed embarrassed.
Why the hell did he take it off? Well, it was because that Rosie yelled at him about this.
Last time when Rosie swore at him, she bad mouthed him about everything.
In the end, she just pointed at the gold chain under his neck and said that he was just a new money
and was lack of taste and was always wearing a dog chain.
He was really irritated by the words “dog chain”.
He almost lost it and just fought with Rosie.
Actually, Katherine and Hector had joked about this before, but he never listened.
But he just couldn’t bear it when he heard those words from Rosie.
Every single word of what she said can make him livid with anger.
Whenever he thought of Rosie’s face, he would be fuming and wanted to hit her.
Face darkened, he didn’t reply Katherine’s question.
Katherine started at him for a while and then just chuckled. She seemed to have figured out the reason.
Hector then arrived in a while.
He was still on the phone when he entered the lobby and was really busy,
When Hector saw Katherine, he just stopped and said a few words to the phone and then hung up the
phone.
Katherine tried to look normal and waved to Hector, “Hello.”
Hector beamed and sat next to then, “What’s wrong with Kyle? He didn’t look merry.”
Katherine nodded, “Well, he has been like this for a long time. He is in a conundrum.”
The atmosphere was pretty light without other people’s meddling.
Hector chortled, “Well, I’m surly taken aback. Well, a lot of things must have happened during the time
that I was gone.”
Kyle compressed his lips and didn’t want to bring up Rosie, “Let’s go into the private room. The meal is
ready.”
They weren’t exactly hungry at this time and just wanted to talk through meal.
Kyle was pretty clever and asked someone to prepare the hot pot which one can still have some bites
even of he wasn’t hungry.
Moreover, it could go great with wine.
The three then went into the room and seated.
Hector first poured Katherine a glass of juice and said, “Well, nothing is going on when I left, but when I
came back, you are about to be a mother. I really don’t know should I be happy for you or sad for
me.”
me.
