CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times

Chapter 487 Hiding Something From Her

After Kyle left, Katherine went to the window where she can the scene downstairs.

She saw Kyle going downstairs, making a call and pacing and forth automatically after being told something upsetting.

After a while, he got on the car and drove away himself.

Katherine turned around and said to Frances, “Something is wrong with Kyle.”

Frances laughed and stretched herself, “Well, everybody got the little secrets of her/his own. It’s normal.”

She then stood up relaxingly, “This is a good place. I got to check the back yard.”

Katherine didn’t feel like walking around and just waited in the room.

Frances’ phone vibrated after she went out the room.

Clara texted the private room number of the restaurant and the time of the dinner date.

They actually had talked about these details yesterday and she didn’t really have to remind her again.

Frances read the text and deleted it.

Clara was becoming gradually less confident.

The qualities that she liked about Clara were fading away.

Frances didn’t text back and just put the phone away and toured the back yard of the club while Katherine was collapsing on the chair in the room.

Clara also texted Katherine in a few seconds and was reminding the same thing.

In the last sentence of the text, she added, “You got to be there.”

Katherine sneered inside and can even imagine what Clara looked like when she sent the text. NôvelDrama.Org © content.

She really didn’t know what kind of moral ground she was holding since why she always acted like that she was going to marry Marshall knowing that there was no chance between them.

Same like Frances, Katherine didn’t text back and was focusing on reading gossips online.

After Clara sent the texts, she waited for a long time and didn’t receive their texts.

Feeling humiliated, she pounded the phone on the table in anger and grinded her teeth.

She took a long time to calm down and went to the pantry.

She had been out of from on work recently and she knew this herself.

Her father had said to her that she wasn’t tough-minded several times which she admitted herself for she had been feeling depressed because of Marshall.

Well, she really hated this feeling, but she can’t help herself when it came to relationship.

Clara frank some water in the pantry to soothe herself and wanted to return to her office.

Right when she was about to come out of the pantry, she saw elder Mr. Henderson passing by while talking to the phone.

She managed to crack a smile and wanted to greet him.

But when she just took a step, she heard him saying, “Yeah, we’ll have the dinner together tonight. Clara booked the restaurant.”

Clara paused and swallowed back the words she was going to say to elder Mr. Henderson.

She frowned and went to the door.

It was empty in the hallway, so though elder Mr. Henderson was lowering his voice, Clara can catch a few words.

He mentioned that Katherine, Marshall and Frances would all be there.

Clara didn’t know what the other side was saying, but she heard that elder Mr. Henderson smiled and replied, “Well, it depends on their performance.”

Clara waited by the door and all the sounds just disappeared after elder Mr. Henderson entered the office.

Clara then came out of the door and was certain that her family members knew that she was going to have the dinner with Marshall, Katherine and Frances.

But judging from elder Mr. Henderson’s words, they were clearly hiding something from her.

Lips pursed, Clara stood by the door for a while and rushed back to her office.

She put the mug down and pondered in the office.

Then she went straight to elder Mr. Henderson’s office.

He was reading the file and was surprised to see Clara, “Clara? What’s wrong?”

Clara went to pull a chair and sat down and seemed calm, “Well, nothing important. I just want to check out. I want to go off work early today and pick some presents for Marshall. Well, I got to be sincere now that I’m going to apologize to them.”

Elder Mr. Henderson paused a bit and then nodded, “Sure, you can make the decision yourself.”

Clara thought for a while and then added, “Well, I just think the restaurant I chose isn’t exactly high- class and wanted to change it to another one.”

Elder Mr. Henderson looked at Frances, “It’s unnecessary. You don’t have to make a big deal out of this dinner. Just relax and be yourself.”

Clara laughed, “Well, that Katherine is critical if everything and isn’t exactly on good terms with me, so I don’t want to give her the chance to laugh at me.”

She then added, “Well, you know that she is always targeting at me and would probably nitpick me. I’m afraid that Marshall might be affected by her.”

Elder Mr. Henderson frowned and then nodded, “Well, I just don’t think that it’s necessary, but it’s all up to you.”

He then stared at Clara, “Which restaurant do you want to change to?”

Clara mused for a while and responded, “How about we just go to that Japanese restaurant that we always go to. It is pretty fancy.”

Elder Mr. Henderson replied, “Sure. It all depends on you.”

Clara then beamed, “Okay then.”

She then chatted with elder Mr. Henderson for a while and went out of the office.

Coming out of elder Mr. Henderson’s office, she deliberately left a crack of the door and then eavesdropped.

Just as she had expected, elder Mr. Henderson made a call and told the other person on the line the address of the Japanese restaurant and told him to be careful.

Clara raised her head and let out a long breath slowly.

She waited for elder Mr. Henderson to hang up the phone and then went back to her office.

She was feeling even much edgier and just sat on the chair.

She didn’t hear many details of elder Mr. Henderson’s call, so there was no way for her to find out what exactly were they planning behind her back.

But it can’t be good since they won’t tell her.

Clara sat for a long time and just grabbed the purse and left the company.

She didn’t go to buy presents or text Frances and Katherine to change the restaurant.

She just drove to the Grant’s company.

She didn’t go in and just parked her car on the curb opposite the company and gazed at the gate.

There weren’t many people going in and out since it was still work time.

She waited for a while and didn’t see the person she wanted to meet.

Clara then took her phone out and called Marshall, but it wasn’t picked up.

She didn’t know if Marshall was busy, but she felt like that he just didn’t want to get her call.

She knew that she was acting too clingy these days and was really annoying.
