CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 206

Standing by the door, Marshall looked inside.

Sitting next to Margaret, Katherine was all smiles.

But Kyle still hadn’t seen him and was still joking with Hector, “Well, if I hadn’t known that Katherine had married, I would definitely suspect that you two are...”

Marshall remained poker-faced and didn’t go inside.

Clara’s voice sounded in a few seconds, “Marshall, what are you doing standing outside?”

Marshall didn’t turn around, but Clara’s words had surly made Kyle to stop all his movements in the private room.

He turned to the door smilingly, “Hey, you are here. Well, let’s have dinner together. Our dishes are just served.”

Clara first came in, “We figured that we would come over and say hi since we met before.”

Kyle scanned Clara up and down, “Miss Henderson, are you here with Marshall for business?”

Clara’s face didn’t even change, “Yeah, we have to talk some business stuff.”

Kyle slowly nodded, “No wonder that you two can be together.”

Katherine didn’t say anything the whole time.

Hector stared at Clara for a while and laughed, “Mr. Grant, I really don’t expect to see you here. Since Katherine is here, why don’t you join us? It’s a bit weird that you couple are separated in two rooms.”

Hearing Hector’s words, Clara was really awkward.

She obviously can hear the sarcasm in Hector and Kyle’s words. She knew perfectly well that they both were excluding her.

Standing aside, she was still wearing her smiles.

Katherine took a glance of Clara and seemed to be laughing at her but not that obvious which was definitely annoying.

Marshall then greeted Kyle, “I met Old Mr. Haverford several days ago and mentioned about you. He said that you were at the club these days.”

Kyle nodded, “Yeah, I was quite free these days, so I stayed there.”

Clara frowned imperceptibly.

She didn’t know that Marshall was this familiar with Kyle.

Clara was getting a bit edgy since she said the wrong thing down at the lobby and didn’t know if Marshall would mind it or not.

Marshall nodded, “Old Mr. Haverford had also said that I should persuade you to not stay in the club all the time and go outside more if I should run into you sometime.”

Kyle looked at Katherine and suddenly smiled, “Yeah, I was just bored before. Of course I would love to go outside if I have better things to do.”

Katherine rolled her eyes at him.

Marshall then turned to Hector, “We met in Asela Island before. I’m sorry that I didn’t recognize to be Mr. Bennet.”

Hector stood up, “It’s all right. I’m not at home all year round and it’s better for me if other people don’t know my identity.”

Hector naturally knew that Marshall knew his true identity, so there was no need to hide.

Marshall then turned to Katherine, “Why didn’t you tell me that you were here. I would bring you with me.”

His tone suddenly softened and even sounded affectionate.

Katherine knew that they need to act now.

She then reached her hand to Marshall and he directly held it.

Katherine looked at him, “Well, I didn’t want to interrupt your social engagements. I know that you are here for work and don’t want to disturb you.”

Marshall dropped his eyes and gazed at Katherine.

She was not like her usual self and was clearly acting.

She seemed quite sweet at this time.

Marshall then lifted his hand up and stroked Katherine’s hair, “You silly girl.”

Katherine then met Clara’s eyes with the corner of her eyes and glared at her.

Clara was no match for her every time they were both involved in a provocative situation.

Katherine actually wanted to thank Sam of WF Group and that stupid Dolly, because if it were not for them, Marshall wouldn’t find the necessity to cooperate with her and she wouldn’t get the chance to compete with Clara.

She really felt great now.

But Marshall can’t actually stay here since he was not only engaging with the Hendersons. Khalid and Frances were also here.

So after bidding farewells to all the people in the room, he left with Clara.

Katherine suddenly chuckled staring at Clara’s back.

Clara happened to be at the door and turned to Katherine who just showed her middle finger at her blatantly.

Clara paused and her face immediately darkened.

She turned around right away and seemed furious.

She probably didn’t expect that Katherine would make this indecent gesture in public.

But all people in the room saw Katherine’s action clearly.

Katherine started giggling after Clara had left.

Kyle also started chortling, even more exaggerated than Katherine.

Hector just shook his head mildly.

Margaret was actually confused and didn’t know what was going on.

Kyle then poked at Katherine, “Katherine, I really like your personality you know. You are very much like me.”

Katherine sneered and pushed him away.

Hector chimed in, “You don’t say. You two are indeed similar on some aspects.”

Kyle was also unbridled in nature.

He even talked back to David and Ariel for Hector.

If it weren’t for Old Mr. Haverford to glare at him, he would probably yell at Kevin.

Though he wasn’t giving them the middle finger, his attitude was definitely bad.

Looking at Kyle, Katherine poured herself a glassful of juice and raised the glass to Kyle.

“I just know that you are different from those pretentious and condescending people since you are friends with Hector. From now on, we would also be friends.”

Kyle got upset, “Friends? Aren’t we already friends?”

Katherine sneered, “We weren’t before, but we definitely are after this drink.”

Kyle got upset, “So you didn’t see me as your friend but still ordered a bunch of expensive seafood!”

Margaret and Hector both started giggling.

Katherine also broke into laughter.

The atmosphere livened up again.

Then they started having all the seafood.

Kyle was clearly merry today and squatted on the chair like a monkey.

But he was pretty considerate as he was constantly refilling drinks and picking food for other people.

Katherine looked at him and said, “Well, I really appreciate it that you are taking care of us, but could you please sit down. I really felt like there was an animal crouching next to me.”

Kyle’s face immediately darkened, “I just unshelled a crab leg for you! Give it back to me!”

Katherine hurriedly mulched down all the meat and uttered, “Well, do you want me to spit it out?”

Then the whole private room just filled up with laughter.

After Marshall and Clara just went back to the room, Marshall discovered that Mrs. Grant and Mrs. Henderson were chatting heartedly like long-lost sisters.

Marshall took a glance at Khalid and frowned uncontrollably.

Khalid then coughed naturally.

Mrs. Grant immediately read the room and got the hint.

Then she took back her hands and sat upright after a while.
