CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 177

Katherine sighed, "To be honest, someone should really teach them a lesson about manners."

In effect, underneath the inside of Katherine, she could sense that those relatives of Marshall also found the existence of him was exasperating.

But they were all smart and rational enough to veil their true feelings with the expressions on their faces.

And now, it seemed that the ladies and gentlemen in Family Grant were obviously not the sort compared with Family Grant's members, since they even disdained to hide their hostility.

All this indicated that they were only a group of harebrained and simple-minded people, who would possibly suffer terrible losses in their future career.

Hector just simply lifted the corner of his lips and said nothing.

After a while, his enrollment process was completed, and tomorrow would be the first day he worked in this company.

Hector stood up and was going to meet assistant manager Tomas.

Seeing that, Katherine was wondering if she should go along with him.

She asked, "should I wait here or...?"

Hector nodded and answered, "I'm fine. I will be right back and you can just wait here for me."

After he went out, the employee from the personnel department came up and delivered Katherine a cup of tea, and David also followed behind and came in.

Katherine held the cup in her hands and asked, "Are you coming for Hector, Mr. Bennett? He has just gone out."

David hided none of his intention and said directly, "No, I'm not. I just want to have a talk with you, Mrs. Grant."

To some extent, it was quite lucky for Katherine to marry Marshall, since she would be greeted in an appropriate manner no matter where she went. And if she stepped into the place with her original identity, these people might even drive her out without any hesitation.

David sat face-to-face with Katherine and asked, "I'm wondering how did Hector get acquainted with you, Mrs. Grant."

Katherine was not so sure about whether she should tell the truth. Then, she answered, "What do you mean by asking that, Mr. Bennett? Are you worrying about the social circle of Hector?"

David offered an awkward laugh and said, "No, please don't get it wrong, Mrs. Grant. I'm just curious."

"Well, it was quite a story of coincidence." Katherine put down the cup of tea and continued, "Last time, I accompanied Marshall to go for a business trip, and then we met Hector. We found inside of him a congenial temper, and thus we became friends from then on."

With a brief pause, she laughed and continued, "Marshall is a businessman, and a business will always be glad to make friends with others. I think maybe inside of him he thinks that Hector is a good man."

The reason why she mentioned Marshall was that she didn't want anyone to get wrong with the relationship between her and Hector. However, it seemed that David was focusing on something else.

He slowly nodded his head and asked, "Have you just said that Marshall and Hector have been getting along well with each other?"

Katherine hummed, "Yes, I have, and I have also mentioned that he thinks of Hector as one of his congenial buddies. Besides, you know that my husband is a kind of grumpy, and Hector is exactly among the sort of minority who can bear his temper and be his friend."

David shifted his eyes downwards and said no more, so did Katherine, who had given him a glance and then remained silent.

She knew that the less she spoke, the better the situation would be, since everything she had said was totally a lie, and thus it currently was not the right time to be talkative.

"Well, I see." Said David, and then the atmosphere of silence continued.

No one could tell whether David believed in Katherine's statement or not.

After a few minutes, David stood up and left the room, as Hector came in at the next moment.

Katherine stood up and asked, "Shall we go now?"

"Sure, I think everything has been clear now, and tomorrow will be my first day working here." Hector nodded.

The two walked towards the elevator. There were two elevators over there: one was specialized, and the other was open to the public.

Katherine chose to get inside the specialized one.

Hector smiled and followed her inside.

In Katherine's head, regardless of any other trifles, she thought over in his mind about everything and soon understood: the reason why Hector called her last night and said he wanted to meet her today was that he intended to make use of her identity as the wife of Marshall.

Previously, she could tell from the tone in which Patrick spoke that Hector's position had already been set before he reached the company.

While David had somehow temporarily changed the decision given that she was coming along today.

The one they feared was not Katherine, but instead the man standing behind her — her husband, Marshall.

And thus, since Hector was a friend of Katherine, it would be no weird to say that he was in a good relationship with Marshall.

That might explain why David abnormally decided to treat him properly today.

As everything inside her head got into shape, she didn't mean to blame him for using her.

After all, the situation left him with no choice, and he would never resort to such approach if he had any other way out.
