CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 114

Not knowing how long she had been asleep, Katherine woke up absent-minded. She looked around and had no idea where she was in. After coming to, she climbed down the bed and went to push the door open. She realized that she was in the breakroom and stretched. After all, he's a rich man and a rich man knows how to enjoy his life. Katherine thought. A second thought occurred to her. Maybe she could make herself a break room in the dessert store once she had successfully bought it. She walked to the sofa, sat down, and checked the clock. It was not long since she fell asleep and it would still take a long while before off-duty hours. She was bored at the moment, and decided to go out of the office.

This time, she chose to take a walk outside of the Grant Family. She went downstairs by elevator and stepped out of the company. There were many people passing by on the street in the afternoon. Katherine stood by the door of the company for a while, and then walked along the road. Many office buildings were settled around, which made up a commercial scene of the whole area. The scene had really widened her horizons, since she had never been to somewhere as such. Not far away, there was a wedding photography multiple shop, inside which was quite big enough, and she could clearly see a delicate wedding dress exhibiting in the shop window. She stopped in front of the windows, and such scenes seemed to bring her back to her memory of the wedding ceremony with Marshall. The ceremony was quite magnificent and it was exactly that which frightened her and made her extremely nervous. There were also many rules in the Grant Family that she needed to keep in mind. She could still remember that before the wedding day, Mrs. Grant had sent dozens of servants around her and spent nearly a night teaching her what should be pay attention to in the next day's ceremony, such as to greet different people with different expressions.

She'd once seen a wedding ceremony in her hometown where everyone smiled and laughed with joy. However, she could barely laugh at her own ceremony. Katherine got closer to the shop window, looking at the wedding dress inside. Compared to the ones inside, the wedding dress she wore was said to be bought from a foreign country at an extremely high price. In order to flaunt the financial availability of the family, Mrs. Grant gave her a detailed introduction of the dress, telling her how many diamonds were used to decorated the dress. She didn't understand what Mrs. Grant was talking about exactly and only thought that when she wore the luxurious dress, it made her feel weighed down. That dress was still kept in one of the rooms of the Grant Family mansion and might never be worn again. Even if Marshall remarried Clara, she'd hate to wear what Katherine used as her wedding dress.

Katherine saw there were many customers while the employees were busy serving around with gift boxes in or somewhat in their hands. Such scenes made her melancholy and feel sorry for the past.

She thought that a genuine and faithful girl, as she was, would only need to wear a wedding dress once in her whole life. After the frustrating and exhausting wedding ceremony was over, she even swore to herself that it would be both the first time and last time she married someone in her life. She had never expected that the result would leave her with an egg on her face. Within less than a year, god had decided to spare her another chance to get married again. She sighed and continued walking along the road. After walking for a long distance, she saw that there was a bus station not far away. She went there and sat on the bench, where few people were hanging around the station.

Katherine just sat right there, looking at the people passing by and cars driving. For the moment, she felt like she had lost herself. She didn't know where she should go after all this nor did she have any idea about what kind of future she was about to embark on.

She picked up her phone, thinking that it was about time for Marshall to go back to the office.

She wondered whether he would notice that she was gone. However, there was no one calling in or sending messages. She sighed, wondering why she was disappointed. In her mind, she thought that no one would ever take notice of her and chose to just take her seat here aimlessly. For her, there was nothing different between sitting right here and waiting in Marshall's office. It was not until the sky was darkened that Marshall had finally called her up. She decided to answer his call.

Marshall asked slowly and calmly, "Where have you been?"

Katherine reported her location to Marshall.

"Wondering why you went so far away for." He sighed. Katherine could hardly tell whether it was impatience or confusion. With her lips pursed, Katherine hung up the phone without any hesitation.
