CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 96

Katherine’s smile and playfulness vanished immediately. She turned around to look at the door, then said calmly, “Why is Mr. Henderson here? What did Clara say to him yesterday?”

Marshall turned and walked towards his table and replied, “I’m not sure. He said that he came for a visit and discussed the industry.”

Although Mr. Henderson was elderly, he still retained most of the authority of the Henderson family business. He refused to admit defeat and release his authority.

Katherine walked over to the sofa and stretched her back. “You should thank me for my Oscar award performance. Didn’t it look real and convincing?”

Marshall picked up his documents and glanced at Katherine without replying.

Peter returned to the office after sending off Mr. Henderson. “Mr. Henderson was rather upset when he left.”

Marshall could not be bothered. “No matter, he was already upset.”

After he turned down the marriage, he had already offended the Hendersons.

Katherine pursed her lips and remained quiet. Katherine could only wait there until it was time to leave the office.

Peter left to do his work while Marshall continued to read his documents.

Katherine took out her cellphone and opened up the Wechat. There was a message sent by the that asked her if she had arrived at the station safely. It was sent last night and she just saw it. Katherine pondered for a while before replying. She read the news as she hummed a song.

Not only was Marshall a hypochondriac, but he also had several other peeves. He did not like to have any noise around him while he worked. He endured for a moment before snapping at Katherine. “Can you be silent?”

Katherine looked up and saw that he was clearly upset. She wanted to retort but changed her mind, minding her tongue. She had better behave herself since she was in his office. She nodded and said, “I’ll go out for a stroll.”

Marshall continued to read his documents.

Katherine rolled her eyes and exited Marshall’s office. The corridor was empty as everyone was busy at work. This was her first time here so she started to explore the area. She saw Lucas as soon as she rounded the corner.

It looked like he was giving instructions to another staff member. Katherine giggled as she walked over. Lucas saw her as soon as he turned around. He seemed surprised and said, “I thought that you left earlier.”

“I came back. I want to have lunch with Marshall.” She smiled.

Lucas frowned and dismissed the staff. He then walked towards his office and asked, “Why didn’t you wait for him in his office? Were you bored?”

“Of course!” Katherine replied immediately. “That chap wouldn’t allow anyone to say a peep while he's working. Such a tyrant.”

Lucas opened the door to his office. He nodded for her to come in, “Come and take a seat.”

Katherine looked around and walked inside.

Lucas’ office was similarly decorated as Marshall’s, but there was something different. Katherine took a glance and sat on the sofa. “Aren’t you bored sitting in the office every day? You guys seem buried in a pile of documents everyday. How boring.”

Lucas chuckled, “I’m used to it. I saw Mr. Henderson a moment ago by the way. Was he here to look for my brother?”

Katherine knew that there was no way to deny this and admitted to it. “Yes, but he said that he only came for a visit.”

Lucas grinned and looked at her, “Hmm…”
