CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 204

Hector froze for a while and said, “Just play your mahjong. Stop talking nonsense.”

Kyle chuckled and just thought that Hector was being shy.

Katherine raised her eyebrows, “Well, you can just tell me if you want to hit on my friend. What a shitty pickup line you just got there.”

Kyle sniggered, “Well, you sure are a feisty girl.”

Katherine sneered slightly which made Kyle to look at her more.

He really hadn’t met such a spirited girl for a long time.

They continued playing till it was getting dark outside.

Katherine and Margaret had lost all their chips and owed Kyle a lot more.

Kyle was satisfied and excited on the other hand.

After the mahjong was over, the four went outside to grab a bite.

They didn’t choose to eat in the club, since there was a five-star hotel just across the club.

Standing in the lobby of the club, Kyle said vigorously, “Well, I have won a lot today. The dinner is on me.”

Katherine and Margaret both broke into laughter since they were simply paying each other with chips today and not the real money.

Kyle was surely generous.

The hotel was just across the road, so they just walked there.

There was a line of parking spots in front of the hotel and Katherine suddenly paused noticing one of the license plate.

Though she didn’t know those car brands, she could remember the car licenses since each one of them were unique.

Hector walked over and asked, “What happened? What’s wrong with this car?”

“Nothing.” Katherine shook her head. “The car is fine.”

The car owner was the one that she got a problem with.

Standing by the hotel door, Kyle yelled, “Hey, come over. Let’s go inside.”

Kyle was still in pajamas and slippers but was not at all awkward.

Katherine and Hector then followed him into the hotel.

Kyle should be a regular customer here since seeing that he was here, waiters hurriedly greeted, “This way, Mr. Haverford.”

Kyle even got his own private room here which was not a very large room but looked like he dined here a lot.

Led by the waiters, Katherine examined all the private rooms, but she was not so lucky this time as there was no waiter opening doors to serve the dishes.

Not a single private room door was opened by the time they got to Kyle’s room.

Katherine entered the room silently.

Kyle was again jumping up and down while ordering the dishes and was even more considerate than the waiter as he busied himself with introducing all local specialties to Katherine and Margaret.

Katherine beamed, “Well, you can order dishes that you find the best. It’s your treat anyway.”

Kyle paused and stared at Katherine for a while, then he just chuckled, “Well, quite to the point.”

Kyle just tossed the menu away and threw a few dishes’ names.

Then he stood up, “I’d better pick the sea food myself.”

The waiter immediately opened the door, “This way, Mr. Haverford.”

Kyle then waved his pajama sleeve and left.

After Kyle left, Katherine cracked a laughter, “Well, Hector, you got a good friend there. I like his personality.”

Hector then giggled, “He really is a nice person.”

Kyle didn’t return after a while.

Katherine got a bit displeased, “He didn’t run away, did he? He can’t just leave us here after ordering a bunch of dishes.”

Katherine was joking, so Hector just chimed in, “I suppose so.”

Katherine stood up, “Well, I got to chase him back.”

Hector nodded, “Go ahead.”

Katherine then really left the room.

There was a large sea food selection area in the lobby where customers could choose the seafood themselves.

Katherine immediately saw Kyle.

She then frowned, “Hey, Kyle, are you waiting for them to grow up?”

Katherine then noticed that there was a man standing across Kyle.

It was Marshall.

Katherine paused, but was not quite shocked.

She saw Marshall’s car parking outside before.

So she just approached him undisturbedly, “You are also here.”

Marshall was quite surprised. Eyebrows knitted, he asked Katherine, “What are you doing here? Do you know each other?”

Kyle was in shock and turned to Katherine, “Well, Katherine, do you know President Grant?”

Katherine blinked her eyes and gazed at Kyle, “Kyle, I meant to ask you this long before. Don’t you read gossip news?”

Kyle nodded and said proudly, “Well, I don’t get the time for it. Even if I do, I’d rather play mahjong for a while.”

Katherine was amused, “Don’t you know that Marshall had quite a grand wedding ceremony before?”

“Of course I do. I was there.”

But the truth was, he drank a lot that day and didn’t remember a thing after sobering up.

Katherine laughed, “Well, it was said that my wedding dress was transported by air and all the diamonds were hand embroidered. Can’t this kind of extravagance win over your attention?”

After hearing Katherine’s words, Kyle was really shocked and scanned Katherine carefully.

He then pointed at Katherine, “You, you, you...”

Katherine put down his hand, “Me, me, me. You got it right.”

Kyle then looked at the private room’s direction, “I thought you are Hector’s girlfriend. So you are not.”

Katherine winked, “Of course I’m not.”

But Marshall’s face just darkened right away.

Staring at Katherine, he repeated his question, “What are you doing here?”

Katherine raised her eyebrows and asked back, “What about you?”

Marshall replied coldly, “I’m having a social engagement here.”

Katherine laughed and sounded indifferent, “Well, it’s pretty rare to have social activity on Saturday night.”

He was free all day, but got out during the night without bringing Peter.

A woman’s voice sounded before Marshall can even say anything, “Marshall?”

Katherine quirked up the corner of her mouth and immediately knew who was here without even turning back.

She was quite familiar with this voice.

Marshall turned around and looked at Clara.

Clara seemed like she hadn’t seen Katherine and just said to Marshall, “I’m here to help you to pick. What took you so long?”

Kyle frowned and looked at Clara confusedly, “Who is she?”

Clara paused and noticed Katherine, “Well, Miss Jordan is also here.”

Katherine turned to Clara, “Well, isn’t this manager Henderson. You really got a poor memory, you know. I seemed to have reminded you countless times of my address and you just can’t remember it, can you? It should be quite dangerous to be this reckless in work.”

Clara froze a bit and didn’t say anything.

Kyle looked at Katherine, “Who is she?”

Katherine replied, “Miss Henderson. The Hendersons seemed to be cooperating with the Grants.”

Then Katherine just went to the glass container and changed the subject, “Here, Kyle. I want this.”

Kyle immediately answered, “Sure, you can have whatever you like.”

Katherine looked at the crabs which looked pretty big, but she didn’t really know its name, “This too!”

“Of course. Add this one.” Kyle directly said to the waiter.

Katherine seemed joyful and continued, “Hector likes to eat this kind of fish. Let’s have one.”

Kyle turned serious, “Why don’t you ask me what I like?”

Katherine turned to Kyle and let out a string of laughter, “We’ve ordered way too much. You can just have whatever we have left. It’s a shame to waste food.”

Kyle swung the sleeves of his pajama and said, “Well, Katherine, this really hurts. I would tell on you to Hector later.”

Katherine and Kyle just joked with each other like no one was around which made Marshall and Clara both awkward.

Standing aside, Marshall and Clara didn’t move a muscle.

Clara actually heard about Kyle before and knew that he could be quite difficult to get along with. Not anyone could just be friends with him.

But judging from his conversation with Katherine, they seemed tight.

Katherine was clearly bossing his around, but instead of feeling offended, Kyle was beaming with smiles.

Clara frowned and looked annoyed.
