CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times

When he received the call, Marshall was still in his office. He had amassed a long to-do list since he hadn’t been paying much attention at work for the past few days. In addition, he hung around in the office because he didn’t really feel like going home, not having much to do there.

Marshall was surprised to receive a call from his uncle Carson, because it was distinctly uncharacteristic of Carson to call him.

Relationship between the Khalid branch and the Carson branch of the Grant family became somewhat strained back in the days when old Mr. Grant, Marshall’s grandfather, looked for a groom for Katherine. The tension had ebbed after Carson’s birthday party, but the relationship between the two branches grew complicated once more after Marshall and Katherine’s divorce.

Marshall stared at his phone for some time before he picked up. “Uncle.”

“Hey,” said Carson, “Where are you right now? Are you busy?”

Marshall replied truthfully that he was in the office and not busy currently.

Sighing, Carson told Marshall the address of the bar before saying that he had run into Katherine there, alone and drunk.

Marshall instantly stood up from his chair. “Did you say she’s drunk and alone? Are you sure she’s not with anyone?”

Carson looked around with his phone in his hand. There were truly no familiar faces to be found.

“I’m pretty sure she’s out here by herself. Look, I have to get back to my own thing so I can’t take care of her. Do you want to come over?”

Marshall said yes without even thinking about it. “Ask the waiters to take her to a break room. I’ll be there in a second.” And then he rushed out the door with the car key in his hand, neglecting to take an overcoat.

He didn’t run into a single red light as he drove from the company building to the bar. When he arrived, a waiter was already waiting for him at the door, informing him that Katherine was quite difficult to handle and that they were all so glad that Marshall made it.

A drunk-crazy Katherine had been acting up in the bar, so the waiters didn’t keep her in the business area where the guests were. Instead, they took her to the employee breakroom in the far back of the bar.

When Marshall went over, Katherine was asking some guy for more alcohol and throwing a tantrum when he denied her, stomping around and yelling. The employees, not daring to offend a valued customer, were trying to coddle her feelings like baby.

Marshall walked to her and grabbed her hand. “Who is here with you?” he asked.

Katherine watched him for quite some time before replying, “Who are you?”

Marshall rolled his eyes resignedly as he bent down to lift Katherine up. He then proceeded to walk out with her in his arms.

With her entire body in the air, Katherine was reasonably meek. Looping an arm around Marshall’s neck, she said, “Be careful not to drop me, man.”
