CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times

Marshall found himself unable to look away from Katherine for quite a while.

He realized that Katherine looked kind of different – younger – after divorcing him. He tried hard to remember the Katherine from before but couldn’t come up with a concrete image of her face. He just recalled a dull woman that looked depressed and old, older than she appeared now.

“Let’s go!” Katherine demanded as looked at Marshall, “I’m all set.”

Humming in agreement, Marshall turned around and went out before her. They locked the door and headed for the car.

As soon as she got in, Katherine took off her shoes and sat cross-legged on the car seat. Marshall took a quick glance over, wondering when that habit began, because as he recalled, she didn’t use to do this before.

They drove all the way to Kyle’s club, which was empty and quiet during the day.

Kyle had on a different outfit – still in pajamas, but they were a light shade of gray this time, draping loosely around his body.

Standing by the door, Kyle ran out to greet them as soon as he saw Marshall’s car. “Finally, my squad! I’ve been yearning for you.”

Giving him a quick once-over, Katherine made a vaguely disgusted face. “You should at least dress up if you’re welcoming us in earnest.”

Kyle goggled at them. “I changed my outfit specifically for the purpose of greeting you. How’s that for earnest?”

As if changing from one pajama set into another made all that much difference.

Hector hadn’t arrived yet, and the three of them went to the second floor. Without Hector, Kyle didn’t want to start the poker game yet, so he took Marshall and Katherine to the room next door, which was much bigger – big enough, in fact, for a huge racing game simulator. For realistic effects, the simulation automobile was made full-size and to the exact model of vehicles currently on the market. The racetracks were the only thing projected into the room.

“Wanna try?” Kyle asked, looking at Marshall.

“Sure,” Marshall laughed.

Kyle walked over to turn on the machine, the sound of which was so loud it could practically be heard by neighboring stores across the street.
