CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times

After the commotion, Katherine went to the store, intending to get some preparations done with Margaret for the opening day. However, she found herself completely unable to concentrate on work, because the gloomy-looking face that Marshall had kept popping up in the back of her head.

The corner of Hector’s mouth had some scrapes which quickly turned into bruises, and Katherine felt bad. The talent show was starting soon, and she didn’t want to be burdened with the guilt that Hector’s potential big break in the entertainment industry would be ruined because of her. So, she decided to take him to the hospital to see a doctor.

The doctor, as it happened, was the same one that had treated Katherine’s leg wounds some weeks ago. He smiled at the sight of her. “Hi there, Katherine.”

Katherine was startled. “Pardon me, sir, but how do you know me?”

“Well, I did bandage you up when you got injured in the leg,” answered Dr. Hollis, who was a good friend of Mr. Grant’s.

“Ooooh, that’s right!” exclaimed Katherine, “I thought you looked familiar.”

“A friend of yours?” asked Dr. Hollis, looking at Hector.

“Yes,” said Katherine with a nod, “he got injured so I thought I’d get him checked up for medication or ointments. He’s got an audition in a couple of days.”

Dr. Hollis smiled warmly. “Come here then, son, and let me have a look. Did you get into a fight? Whew, that looks like a pretty heavy blow to me. Got the corner of your mouth torn.”

Katherine pursed her lips, not knowing what to say in that situation.

But the doctor didn’t further pursue that topic as he proceeded to prescribe the right medication for Hector. As he worked on his computer, he said, “I heard you went to old Mrs. Walters’ birthday party.”

Before Katherine could react, Dr. Hollis continued, “And that you drew a lucky lot for her.”

So, Katherine mused, did that mean that she was famous again – and so soon?

Dr. Hollis finished his prescription and looked up at her. “I ran into Marshall yesterday and you came up in our conversation. He sounded proud when he talked about you.”

At the mention of Marshall’s name, Katherine felt her good mood going down the drain.

Unaware of the drama that happened in the morning, Dr. Hollis went on to say, “I’ve never seen that expression on his face when he talked about anyone else before, you know.”
