CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times

Chapter 511 Set a High Demand in the Hope that She Will Improve

Marshall nodded and handed the knife to the person beside him, noting, “Well, I see.”

He then checked the time and turned around to go outside when commanding, “Deal with the injury. When people inside wake up, teach them a lesson and see how they will respond.”

The subordinates knew what Marshall meant and told him not to worry. They would get useful information today.

After taking a few steps, Marshall turned around and added, “Give me the information of the seller for that introspection engine.”

Then he left and drove back to the company.

Khalid was having a meeting when Marshall went to his office. There was nobody inside but the table was piled with loads of documents.

Marshall stared at them for a while and frowned. His father must be so busy to look through those documents for work.

Marshall decided to sit down to wait for the meeting to end. Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

Khalid was almost at the end of his meeting and came in after a short while.

He was startled to see Marshall come and asked, “What’s wrong? I heard you went out just now.”

Marshall simply nodded without further response. He didn’t want his father to know what happened.

He directly changed another topic and noted, “Kathy just called and told me my grandmother had invited Nicolas to have lunch. That’s not good news.”

Khalid got astonished and turned around behind his office table, remarking, “Why is it not? It’s just a lunch to communicate. It’s good.”

Marshall went forward to stand in front of the table, asking, “Do you really think so? If you are telling me this, I have to be honest with you. I think you’re right. Grandmother really likes Nicolas. Mom has a good temper now and looks even younger. I have heard from Kathy that Nicolas is really satisfied with mom. Maybe they will get married after a few communications.”

Khalid didn’t show any emotion but simply nodded.

Marshall stared at him for a while and then smiled after a few seconds.

He nodded and remarked, “Well, I won’t say anything if you think that’s not your business. Just do your work and I have to do mine. We really have lots of things to handle with these days.”

When waiting for the office door to close, Khalid gradually raised up his head. He thought for a while and suddenly closed the document.

Marshall left with a smile while Khalid kept lowering his head to check the documents.

It seemed Marshall really wouldn’t intrude into his business. Not only did Frances change a lot, so did Khalid.

He used to cherish Frances a lot. How could that he didn’t show any response at this crucial point?

Marshall also went back to the office to check documents in the morning.

His door was open. When he finished half of his work, Marshall noticed Khalid was passing by the door.

Khalid held nothing in his hands and seemed to be in a rush.

Marshall noticed what happened and showed a smile because it seemed Khalid couldn’t pretend to calm anymore.

Khalid left the company and drove all the way to the Mason family.

His car stopped opposite to the Mason house. As soon as he stopped, he noticed Nicolas also drove here.

His knew this car because he had seen it yesterday, not a fancy one.

Khalid shook his head and couldn’t figure out why would he not be satisfied with him.

Nicolas drove the car to the door. He then waited for a while for the door to open and drove in,

Khalid lit a cigarette to observe him. He knew it must take a long time if a man was invited to a woman’s hose to have a visit.

He waited for a while until it was almost time and called Frances.

Frances picked up the phone after a long time. She might go outside to pick up the phone because Khalid couldn’t hear any background noise.

Khalid directly asked, “Are you busy?”

Frances hesitated for a while and replied, “No, no I am not.”

Khalid sighed and asked, “Are you going to have lunch?”

Frances replied, “Almost. I haven’t started yet. Are you going to have a lunch break?”

She got nervous and didn’t know what to talk about.

Khalid remarked, “I am out for business and have already finished my work.”

Frances thought for a long time and simply replied yes.

Khalid continued, “Let’s have lunch together if you’re available today. We were in the same restaurant yesterday but didn’t have chance to have meal.”

Frances got a bit startled and remained silence.

Khalid waited for a while. Seeing she still didn’t give any response, he smiled and noted, “Forget about that if you’re busy now.”

To be honest, there was nothing special was Khalid’s tone and it seemed to be a normal response, but Frances could sense that he seemed to be upset.

She bit her lips and asked, “Where are you? It might take me for a while to arrive.”

Khalid got startled and hurriedly said, “Do not rush. I will pick you up when you’re ready.”

Frances nodded yes and continued, “I will call you later.” Then she hanged up the phone.

Khalid took back the phone. He stared at the gate of the Mason family and suddenly smiled.

It really took Frances a long time to come out.

She was wearing a long, plain dress and rolled up her hair, seeming to have a delicate makeup.

Frances called Khalid after getting out and told him her position.

Khalid nodded and replied, “I happen to pass by your house and will be there soon.”

He drove around to the front gate of the Mason family.

Frances directly got on the car when it stopped.

After Khalid starting the engine, Frances asked, “Where are we going?”

Khalid already decided the place when he was waiting and replied, “You will know when we arrive.”

Frances didn’t say anything. She squeezed her phone and looked through the texts Katherine sent.

Katherine was a gossip girl. She sent message to ask what happened to Khalid.

However, Frances didn’t reply long time after the message was sent because she received it when she was in the Mason family and was inconvenient at that time. She was about to tell her family that she was going to go outside. Mrs. Mason got upset and showed her a terrible expression.

Finally, Nicolas went to help Frances and told them he didn’t mind.

No knowing whether Nicolas had sensed something, Frances could tell Mrs. Mason already knew what happened.

The fact was that Frances went outside to pick out the phone sneakily and suddenly asked to leave. Mrs. Mason was an experienced woman. How could she not understand what Frances was about to do.

Frances felt her face was burning.

Mrs. Mason set a high demand in the hope that she would improve. She already got a bit angry when Frances wet back to live in the Grant house.

Mrs. Mason scolded her for not having a full consideration. How could she situate herself in such a passive position?

It was reasonable for Mrs. Mason to get angry because it was true that Frances didn’t know how to deal with things in the best way.

However, Frances couldn’t have any other way. It was hard for her to reject Khalid, just the same as Khalid could never reject her unreasonable demand in the past time.

Frances sighed a deep breath, but still felt her tense nerve finally loosened up.

She was extremely embarrassed when she was in the same place together with Nicolas.
