Chapter 46 The Woman on the Beach (II)

Katherine was surprised. She raised her head and looked at Peter. "Throwing herself at him?”

Peter nodded and looked very serious, "Yes, I picked up his phone this morning, and the woman was
right at his door. She was dressed ... very inappropriately and trying her best to throw herself at your
ex-husband. But he was very calm and hold his ground, didn’t panic, and guess what….?”

Peter just stopped and left Katherine hanging.

Katherine was cooperative and asked, “What?"

Peter opened his eyes widely and said, “That women confessed to your ex in person, saying how she
had feelings for him for a long time, but Marshall wasn't slightly touched by all of that. He told her that
he had a very happy marriage with his wife."

Of course Peter made that up.

Then he continued, "That woman was humiliated and went ballistic. Saying how your husband was
drugged and must have slept with some other woman. If that got out, it will ruin Marshall's reputation,"
Peter sincerely made those absurd things up, “Your ex-husband burst out laughing and admitted that
he did had been drugged, but he was with his wife then... his wife! Did you hear that……!”

"Yeah? What about that?" Katherine asked.

She swallowed down the question when she saw Peter's exaggerated expression.

Peter looked at Katherine and said, "To tell you the truth... most man would not be choosy once they
are drugged. Any woman will do. Look at Marshall! He braced himself and escaped! That’s not easy
you know!"

Katherine paused, she jumped off the bed. Then she walked to the window and checked the weather.



It was hot outside and the sun was very bright.

But somehow she still felt a bit chilliness.

She didn't know where that cold breeze came from.

What Peter had just said, you shouldn’t believe every single word he dished out, there must be some
exaggeration in the story.

But, the women threw herself at Marshall, this was real.

Katherine didn’t continue Peter’s conversation, she just waited and finally said, "I'm a bit starving. Let's
go down and grab a bite."

Peter stood up and naturally changed the topic, "Are you still having a stomachache? Did you eat
breakfast?”

Peter thought as long as she really listened, he could still see some hope between the two.

Katherine closed her eyes. Indeed she didn't have breakfast because she had no appetite.

Peter immediately said, "Then let’s hurry up. I'll go with you.”

"Why do you need to come with me?” Katherine obviously didn't like that.

Peter sounded very reasonable, “If I don’t go with you, who knows what you would order, let me tell
you, your stomach is weak now, and you should avoid heavy flavored food. You should take this
seriously.”

Katherine laughed. She stared at Peter for quite a while and said, "Fine, let's go.”

Peter sometimes could be unreliable, but he was always good to Katherine.



The two of them walked out of the room, on the way to the elevator, Peter came running towards
Marshall’s door.

He quickly knocked on the door and called out before Marshall opened it, "Boss, Kathy and I are going
for lunch. Come join us too, you didn’t have lunch yet right.”

Katherine stood there, looking at Peter with an upset face.

She was almost deceived by Peter a few moments ago, it seemed that he was caring for Katherine, but
deep down he just wanted to set Katherine and Marshall up again.

Katherine just couldn't understand why Peter was so persistent on fixing the relationship between her
and Marshall.

Marshall opened the door. He looked at Peter and then looked at Katherine who was about to be at the
elevator door. Unbelievably, he didn’t say no, but actually agreed.

There were not many people in the corridor, so Katherine had heard,”OK" loud and clear from Marshall.

Katherine stopped and didn't look back.

But she couldn't help thinking about what Peter had just said.

That woman actually came stalking Marshall at his door.

If Marshall said, “OK" at that time, nobody knew what would happen next.

Thought of that, Katherine started taking big steps.

Threw herself at him?



That was ridiculous.

She stood at the elevator door and waited.

Marshall and Peter came over together.

Marshall had no expression on his face as always. He was so bad at managing his own facial
expressions.

Peter giggled and said, "Since neither of us had lunch, I think we should have it together.”

He smiled awkwardly and slowly withdrew that expression since the two had ignored him.

The restaurant was on the first floor. When Marshall and Katherine walked over, it was already
crowded.

But there were still empty seats.

Peter pushed Katherine and pointed. "You go grab a table. I'll check that buffet area.”

Katherine and Marshall avoided of making eye-contact with each other, but both walked to the table.

The table was in the corner, which was kind of quiet.

Katherine and Marshall were sitting face to face, while she was looking at the menu, Marshall suddenly
stood up and sat down next to Katherine.

Katherine was startled. She turned aside to look at Marshall.

Marshall had no facial expression. He looked down and flipped the menu. Then he said with his low
voice, "Don't make any movements. Just order your food."



Katherine rolled her eyes and suddenly knew what was going on.
