CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times

Chapter 165: They’re Just Partners

Katherine has been staying at his office from then on.

She kept quiet this time.

But Marshall was uncomfortable with it.

She was so quiet that he had to look up to make sure that she was here.

She was standing in front of the window, now looking at her hands, now looking outside.

There was little scenery outside since they were in such a high floor.

She kept silent and expressionless whenever he looked at her.

It seemed that she became the old her.

She used to be very quiet and unnoticeable.

He couldn’t notice her even they were in the same room.

His heart was a little chaotic. He forced himself to focus on those papers that he discussed with Clara until he got off work.

There was going to a dinner party tonight. He left with Katherine as soon as the time came.

The evening gown was in his car, but they had to go for the designer at first.

The designer had been waiting for them. A guy in fashion clothesing was waiting for Katherine beside the makeup desk.

When Katherine sat down, she heard the sound of the prayer beads.

It went faster and smoother than last time.

After makeup, she changed her dress and shoes.

When she came out from the fitting room, the designer held a tray of necklaces, earrings, rings, bracelets and other accessories for her.

All of them were shining.

She was surprised. “Are these…”

The designer smiled, “Marshall picked them for you. Have a try.”

She quickly caught on. It was a party with a certain theme.

Women would compete with each other for beauty of looks, including jewelry, dress and so on.

On behalf of the Grant family, she couldn’t be too tacky.

She put these accessories on. Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

“They fit your dress well.” The designer said with a nodding.

Marshall changed a little.

He got his hair styled and changed his suits.

He still looked very elegant.

When Katherine saw him, he was making a hone call. He hung up the moment he saw her. “It’s time to go. The party has begun.”

The party began ahead of time.

When they walked out the house, the driver had been waiting for them.

The party couldn’t go without greeting and drinking, so a driver was necessary.

They sat in the back seats.

Katherine bent over the window and said, “I haven’t taken part in evening party. What will it be like?”

So far, the most important party she had ever attended was her own wedding party.

And she was at sea back then.

In fact, she had thought she didn’t deserve him before the wedding.

The wedding was like a mirror.

From then, she came to know how big influence one’s family could bring to a person.

One’s horizon and reaction ability could differ from family to family.

She had never been anywhere, so she couldn’t help being coward and unconfident under that circumstance.

Marshall leaned against the seat and said, “You can be yourself there. Nobody will bother to notice you since there are too many people.”

“It might be. But Mr. Grant, don’t’ you forget that you’re at the center of rumors? Do you really think they won’t notice us?” she smiled.

“Are you scared?” he turned to glance at her.

“No.” She winked.

She was telling the truth. She used to be scared of course.

Back then, she worried about that she would bring some troubles to him.

But now, she was not scared any more. She has changed a lot.

Marshall and she were just partners. Even if there would be some troubles, he asked for them.

Partnership took risks.

It’s impossible to enjoy achievements without any costs.
