CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 197

Katherine took a nap in the afternoon. When she woke up, she found it was time to go to the shop.

There was not enough food in the house and she had to buy some.

She wanted to cook something fancy tonight to show her gratitude for Marshall.

Therefore, she bought some seafood, chicken and fish.

She started cooking after arriving home and didn’t check the time. When she realized, it was already dark outside.

She stretched after finishing the last soup.

She checked the time and found it was time for Marshall to be off duty.

Katherine moved all the dishes on the table, waiting for him to come back.

She even imagined what words she should say to express her thankfulness.

She was a woman who could keep their relation out the working place. Even she was unhappy with Marshall on private business, she had to thank him for helping her.

Katherine leaned on the chair and waited for half an hour, but Marshall didn’t come back.

She remembered Peter had told him that Marshall didn’t have to socialize these days.

Could it possible that he became busy again after dealing with the business with WF Group?

Katherine licked her lip and waited longer, but Marshall still didn’t come.

She finally couldn’t wait any longer and directly called Peter.

Peter picked the phone quickly and Katherine could tell from the noise that he was watching TV.

If Marshall really had to go to meetings, he would usually bring Peter with him. However, now it seemed Peter was at him.

Peter was a little surprised when finding the call was from Katherine. He asked, “What’s up? Any instructions?”

Katherine waited for a while and replied, “You’re really relaxing tonight. Don’t you have to work extra time?”

Peter was surprised and smiled, “Work extra time? Thanks to the boss, I don’t have to. Finally, I can spend several leisure days.”

Katherine replied, “That’s nice.”

Peter immediately asked, “What’s wrong? Do you want to ask something?”

Katherine hurriedly said no and continued, “I want to thank you for helping me today. I will definitely be defrauded by that housekeeper if I talk with him alone.”

Peter signed, “That housekeeper must have defrauded many people before. He will earn a great deal of money by setting the electric and water fee at such a high price.”

He then thought for a while and continued, “The store really has a good location and there is not a similar store around. Actually, we don’t like that place and don’t want to rent it because of that housekeeper.”

Katherine agreed with his point. The housekeeper was a villain indeed.

Margaret was not in the mood to look after the store in the afternoon. She texted Katherine, saying she felt very uncomfortable when thinking of the housekeeper’s trick. It was hard for her store to earn some money and she had to pay extra to the housekeeper.

Katherine could only comfort her that the month was going to end. If they did well and the profit was good, she would pay more to her.

Margaret finally felt better when hearing this.

Peter said he was finding someone to redecorate the store and would bring the designer to the store these days.

After signing the contract successfully, they would start the redecoration.

Katherine was startled and hurriedly thanked him. She never expected Peter was so efficient.

Peter signed and said, “You don’t have to thank me. It’s your ex-husband who instructs me to do such a thing. Today he also puts forward to help you with me.”

Katherine compressed her lip and didn’t say anything.

Marshall didn’t come back until now.

She didn’t know where he had been. He was not in a meeting and didn’t have to work extra time. Where was he?

Katherine said to Peter that there was nothing else and she would thank Marshall when she got chance.

Peter also didn’t have anything to say and hanged up the phone.

Katherine put down her phone and looked at dishes on the table.

She wanted to thank him today, but why did this man refuse to give her any chance at crucial point?
