Chapter 14 She Didn’t Know How to Seize the Opportunity

Peter said Katherine started hooking up with others, but in fact, she was just standing quietly next to Louie.

Her mind wandered off as she gazed at the fire.

Marshall turned to look at them, then he heard Peter added, “But Katherine was really good-looking. See, just by standing there, she is the most attractive one among those people.”

Marshall narrowed his eyes slowly.

Actually, she was known for her beauty.

When his grandpa forced him to marry Katherine, his mother sighed and helped to persuade him. “Anyway, she’s quite beautiful. And you two will have a beautiful child.”

At that time, they could only think of this merit of her.

Now she was standing there quietly in her floral dress with her braids, which made others merge into the background.

And she looked no difference than a young lady who was still single.

Peter said with a lower voice, “Boss, why can’t you just fall for such a beautiful girl?”

Why can’t he fall for her?

Marshall stared at her for a while and turned back, saying in an undertone, “All she has is a pretty face.”

Peter jolted, then he was a little abashed.

Marshall was right. She did not have distinguished family and good educational background. Besides, before she had married Marshall, she did not even have a decent job.

She did not have anything to impress others except for her appearance.

So, many people in the Grant Group found it hard to believe that she’d married Marshall.

A lot of people was obsessed with Marshall. And any of them was better than Katherine.

But no one would ever expect that someone like her finally married Marshall.

Peter lowered his eyes, not knowing what to say.

The woman at Marshall’s side looked around and got closer to him. “Mr. Marshall, shall we go for a walk?”

It was boring just by sitting here.

Marshall thought about it and nodded, “OK.”

She was sent by a partner company for some special reason, which Marshall did not want to know.

He went out just because of the cooperation.

But the woman was delighted. She stood up and smoothed her gown. Then she walked along the beach with Marshall.

Peter thought for a while and followed behind Marshall.

She obviously had a crush on Marshall, which had showed in her eyes.

But Peter did not like her. By now, at least, he haven’t met anyone that was more suited for Mrs. Marshall than Katherine.

Walking along the beach, Marshall started to talk about the cooperation directly.

The woman giggled, covering her mouth. “Everybody said that Mr. Marshall is a workaholic. I did not believe it before, but now I’ve known. You can’t even forget work when relaxing.”

Marshall sneered, “I’ll have a rest in the hotel if I want to relax. I only come out to do my job.”

Her face took a set expression, which turned into a smile quickly.

It was her who invited him to hang out.

Marshall agreed quickly, without any hesitation.

So she thought Marshall also wanted to go out and have fun.

But she did not expect that he was still thinking about work.

However, she did not come here for the work. In fact, what she wanted was not the cooperation with the Grant Group.

They walked toward the place with less people, followed by Peter who was gritting his teeth.

He took out his phone and texted Katherine. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Obviously, he was complaining about how she did not know how to seize the opportunity.

On the rare occasions when meeting each other in this romantic place, how could she leave with another guy?

Katherine received the message, but she deleted it right after she had a look at it.

Then Louie gave her the roast meat kabobs.

Katherine took it with a smile. “Thanks.”

Louie grabbed a glass of juice and gave it to her. “The guys that we just met, do you know them?”

Katherine was surprised, “Why do you ask that?”

A bit embarrassed, Louie rubbed his hair. “just a gut feeling, the way they looked at you, it just doesn’t seem like a look from strangers.”

With her eyes on the juice in her hand, she took out a breath after a while. “No, why would I know them?”
