CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 161

Clara brought some papers to discuss with Marshall.

All of papers were about the details of cooperation to discuss.

And some rights that she claimed on behalf of the Henderson Group.

Marshall came over to sit beside Katherine. He dived into work.

He read through all the clauses carefully.

In fact, this kind of cooperation was very simple, so Clara didn’t make any exorbitant demands.

He expressed his opinions about some of the clauses.

Katherine knew nothing about business, so she didn’t understand anything about it, let alone some business terms Clara and Marshall talked about.

She sat beside him, with Marshall’s cup held in hand.

She looked at them with a mirthless smile.

This is the difference between Clara and her, she thought.

No wonder Mrs. Grant kept grumbling that she was not as good as Clara, who could help Marshall with his business.

It explained why now.

She seemed to be capable outside while Clara was truly competent inside.

She was uncomfortable at the thought.

Sipping the water, Katherine gave the cup to Marshall and said, “Have some water.”

Marshall frowned and turned to look at her.

She was expressionless. She didn’t seem to make waves.

It seemed to be subconscious.

Nothing else.

He took a sip after a minute.

She took the cup away. A sense of boredom flooded her in waves.

What on earth was she doing?

How could she end up with being the only one to be frustrated?

She put the cup down. Clara and Marshall were discussing intently.

She got up and walked to Marshall’s desk.

She found the reports about Marshall online.

WF Group published a clip as a move.

It was a clip about Marshall in the party hosted by WF Group.

Some of the people seemed to be leaders of WF Group.

Beside Marshall was Peter Richardson.

The clip was trying to tell people that Katherine didn’t attend the party with Marshall that night.

She sneered.

It was not a nice try.

The clip proved that there were surveillance cameras in the party.

If being requested to publish the whole video, therefore, WF Group would be at a disadvantage.

She didn’t bother to look through the comments about it.

There must be many paid Internet trolls deliberately misleading people.

The exposure of this kind of news on the Internet was nothing but a joke being laughed at.

She looked though some other news.

Nothing interesting.

Meanwhile, she was peeping at Marshall and Clara.

They seemed to be very concentrated. Marshall, with the papers in his hand, was discussing with Clara on the details and restraints in the contract. He looked very serious.

While Katherine was staring at them, Clara looked up suddenly.

She looked at Katherine with contempt.

Clara turned her gaze after a second and beamed at Marshall.

Marshall, who was absorbed in the papers, didn’t notice this.

Katherine didn’t lose her temper this time.

It was just an expression. Besides, Marshall was here. If she lost her temper like last time, she would be in the wrong.

Thinking for a moment, she leaned against the chair and turned off the camera in her phone.

Pretending to be playing with the phone, she was taking a video of Clara actually.

After a while, Katherine gave a chuckle.

Clara looked at her almost by reflex.

Marshall glanced at her, too. He knew what she was usually like.

So, he looked up briefly then returned to his papers.

But Clara was still staring at her.

She put away her phone and made a provocative expression to Clara.

Clara looked grim and more sarcastic.

She didn’t try to disguise, but looked at Katherine with contempt.

She sneered at Katherine, with shoulders moving slightly.

“You two are so hardworking, so I recorded it.” Katherine said with a smile, in a friendly tone.
