CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 97

Katherine didn't pretend to understand what Lucas just said. She just smiled. “Regarding Clara, Marshall explained it to me very clearly. Mrs. Grant likes Clara. Even if he did have some feelings for her, he wouldn’t stay with me until now.”

Lucas didn't know whether to believe her but nodded. They had nothing much to talk about while they stayed in his office. They didn't spend much time together except for the time they stood in the bamboo forest for a while. Lucas met with Katherine couple of times, but every time he saw her she was always being obedient. Mrs. Grant did not like her, she would always make her feel awkward in front of many people. She always pursed her lips and remained silent. Among the family members in the Grant’s family, Lucas was the only person who treated her a little friendlier. She had a few friends so, she did not have many people whom she could talk with. Lucas was her temporary friend as she called it. Although as of now it didn't seem like it.

When Lucas saw Katherine this time, she seemed different from before. Lucas thought for a while, she seemed to have never smiled before. Lucas took out a file and looked at it. “Yesterday when you came back, Mrs. Grant was... pretty happy right?”

Katherine laughed, his words sounded too sweet. She knew what he wanted to ask. She sat on the sofa and started kicking her legs. “It was pretty cheerful so... I think she was pretty happy. She kept finding opportunities to come over and talk with me yesterday.” Lucas laughed too.

He didn't interact with her much, but he knew what kind of person Mrs. Grant was. Everyone had been living together in the same house for so many years. Everyone knew each other so well. Lucas was surprised by Katherine’s reply. It was less than a year ago since Katherine was married into the Grant’s family yet so many things happened. When Khalid passed away, it was the time when the family were united the most. They would often stay and spend time doing things togther.

Katherine laughed happily, “Look at you. You just don’t believe me when I said it. What do you want me to say.”

Lucas raised the corner of his mouth, “It’s not that I don’t believe it, I do.”

It sounded a bit fake making Katherine snort. Someone passed by the door and looked around the office. He stopped immediately when he saw Katherine inside the office. He seemed a little serious and stepped forward, “Lucas.”

Lucas jumped. He raised his head and saw the person by the door, “Father.”

Carson answered, “I have a file here. Please have a look. There’s something wrong with the data in here.”

Lucas stood up, “Okay.”

Katherine also stood up, but Carson didn't acknowledge her. Lucas was about to leave so she knew she couldn't stay here anymore. She walked out of Lucas’s office and waved goodbye without saying anything. He smiled and they both went their separate ways.

She looked at her phone, seeing it was almost time to get off work. She rushed back to Marshall’s office and found him looking at his computer while wearing a pair of radiation-proof glasses. He seemed to have returned to the indifferent state like during the marriage. Katherine stood by the door for a while before going in. She just sat on the sofa without saying anything. Marshall didnt look at her but opened his mouth to say something.

“Where did you go?”

She stretched her arms and sighed, “I just met with Lucas and sat in his office for a while.”

Marshall stopped typing on his keyboard and raised his glasses. He turned around to look at her. “Lucas?”

Katherine didn't think much of it. “Yes, I saw him in the corridor and went to his office for a quick chat.”

Marshall stared at her, “Are you that close with Lucas?”

Katherine blinked, “No.”

It was the truth. She didn't have many opportunities to speak with Lucas before now.

“If you’re not close with him yet you could go to his office for a chat?” Marshall snapped.

Katherine cocked her head to the side. “Isn’t he your brother? He’s from the Grant family so what’s wrong with having a chat with him?”
