CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times

Chapter 221 Pretty Ring

Katherine cooked several dishes.

After she got all the dishes ready, she called Kyle to help serve the food.

“Always boss me around! Only me!” Murmured Kyle.

In spite of the complaints, he quickly came and gave his hands.

Marshall and Hector went to the dining room and waited, without talking.

Kyle got everything ready, then he sat down beside Hector, “It's a surprise that Katherine does well in cooking. They look so appetizing.”

Marshall had to admit that Katherine can make delicacies.

Although the kinds of dishes were not as many as those in the Grant house, they did taste good.

Katherine took off her apron and joined the table, after washing hands. “Well, let's get started. You can have a try now.”

She turned to Hector, “You haven't eaten my dishes, and you can eat more today.”

Her special treat to Hector made other two men pissed off.

Kyle stared at her, “Katherine, you tell me which friend you prefer between me and Hector?”

Katherine looked at Kyle surprisingly, “How could you ask such a question? I cannot act more obviously that I prefer Hector. You two are no match for Hector.”

“You two” meant that Marshall was included.

Kyle with a lot of nerves was not aware that, while Hector was.

Hector picked the chopsticks, and served Katherine. “Let's dive in! You have been busy cooking for a long time.”

Kyle intended to have a fit out of her words, however, his face darkened after Hector's remarks. “I also have been busy so long. You serve me!”

Hector did what Kyle required.

In this way, his behavior just now looked not so intimate.

While Marshall didn’t say a word while eating.

By contrast, Kyle kept murmuring and mentioned those people of the Bennett family.

Hector smiled. “Forget them. Don’t let them get to us.”

Kyle turned to Hector and said, “Hector, what you need to do now is to work hard in the company. If possible, I can help on snatching it up.”

Hector sneered, “I know nothing about running a company. If I take the charge of the company, I am afraid it will go bankruptcy quickly.”

Kyle blinked, and suddenly looked over at Marshall, “Marshall knows it well and he can be your tutor on this.”

Marshall raised his eyes and looked at Hector, who also was looking at him.

The two men looked indifferent, but in fact, they changed a lot of information by eyes.

Hector paused for a second. “We’ll see. Now I'm studying with Mr. D and I can also learn a lot.”

Kyle didn't think too much, just nodded, “Well.”

Then Kyle began a talk about the company of his own family.

About business, he knew even worse than Hector. He knew nothing but how to play and win at the mahjong table.

He said his sister called him a few days ago, requiring him to work and learn in the company instead of fooling away.

Kyle got sort of unhappy. He was not fooling away, instead, he was very busy, busy in playing mahjong. He was occupied so much that he even had no time to learn anything else.

Kyle turned to peer at Marshall after finishing, “Actually, I guess you don't really want to work in the company, right? You are also jealous of me about my life! It’s so boring to stay in the office all day long. It takes you more time to stay with your employees and the partners than with your wife. It’s very likely one day for you to have crush on someone else.”

Kyle did have too much nerves.

Marshall gave no reactions, while Katherine cannot resist laughing, “You make it reasonable.”

“Yes! I don’t talk nonsense. I heard a lot of such stories around me.”

Katherine nodded.

Such things were so common in this era.

Just as what Kyle said, Marshall spent way too much time with his employees than with his wife.

Spending time together was important in a relationship.

So it’s easy to have an affair for men who spent more time with others.

Clara also knew that, so she took advantage of her position in the company.

Before, Clara tried hard to leave others an impression of an elegant lady, but now she turned to be a business woman. It’s obvious that she desired to share more time with Marshall and attract him.

Thinking of this, Katherine lost in a bad mood.

So at the later part of this meal, only Kyle kept murmuring.

Different from Peter who would have stopped murmuring while no one gave a reaction, Kyle just kept droning, not minding that no one gave him any reply.

Anyway, that’s a good thing, which helped to ease the air.

The dishes were eaten up, as well as the soup.

Katherine felt satisfied with that, after all, she had been busy in the kitchen so long, with her wound on the leg.

After the meal, Katherine served some fruits and they had a free chat while enjoying the fruits.

Actually, only Katherine and Kyle were chatting.

Then Katherine mentioned that she was going to start a store. Kyle showed great interests and said that dessert were needed in his clubhouse and she can be his vendor.

Katherine grinned, and put her arm around Kyle’s shoulder, “How kind of you, buddy!”

Wrinkles turned up between Marshall’s brows, but he said nothing upon thinking that the man was Kyle.

Katherine and Kyle laughed and talked about plans of the store.

Marshall took out his lap top, while Hector just sat there and listened to Katherine and Kyle quietly.

His gaze fell on Katherine’s finger with a ring, which looked much better on her than on the counter.

Hector’s expression got softer and softer, with his gaze on Katherine longer and longer.

Katherine and Kyle didn’t pin down Hector’s expression at all who were in a hot talk, but Marshall did, who had been glancing at the three by the corner of his eyes.

So Marshall said “Katherine, come and have a look at this design. The store will be decorated according to it.”

After a pause, Katherine immediately came forward, knowing that it’s about decorating her store. “Let me have a look!”

Marshall held the lap top and turned his side a little, as a result, Katherine leaned against him. However, she was not aware that they were so close that Marshall can smell the fragrance from her. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Marshall’s lips curved, looking at Katherine staring at the screen with a serious look.

On the screen was a graphic design, which was a preliminary design for the store. There will be a stereo image in the later period.

Katherine cannot understand the graphic design. She stared at the screen for a long while, then she nodded, “That’s fine!”

Marshall leaned forward slightly, more closely to Katherine, “How about this way?”

Katherine nodded, “Good. I think it’s pretty and the space was made full use.”

Kyle beside made a meaningful face. He took a deep breath, then stood up, “Again! You are asking us to go, right? We are all adults, so you don’t have to do that!”

Kyle said to Hector, “Let’s go now. If we don’t go, I am afraid that they will begin to make out in front of us.”

Katherine raised eyes, with confusion, “What?”

Hector also stood up, “OK. It’s late now, let’s go.”

Finishing, he firstly moved. He even rubbed Katherine on her hair, when he passed by her. It’s a very intimate act.
