CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times

Marshall's face uncontrollably turned wooden and pale as those words fell on his ears.

With a cryptic smile hanging on his face, Lucas was unaware of the changes in Marshall's facial expressions. He then looked at Lydia, "Temporarily, I shall keep her name a secret, but I'll tell you that when the time comes."

Lydia frowned, "Why keep me guessing, boy? Is it all because of the girl's background?"

Lucas walked up, with his arm around Lydia's should, "I said it was a secret. We can continue our talk back in my office, mom. Marshall's still got his work to do."

Marshall accompanied Lydia to the doorway, and then stared at Lucas, "Let's find sometime and meet your little girlfriend. You know you need someone to watch out for you."

In a deserved manner, Lucas smiled naturally, "Sure thing!"

Looking at their backs till they got into Lucas's office, Marshall closed the door and headed back to his seat.

He had not been in a good mood before they came in, and now Lucas's equivocal words even made him worse.

Marshall lit up a cigarette, and stuck it between his lips. He leant on the chair, and the smoggy surrounding seemed to bring him back to those old memories.

With his racked, he was trying to dredge up what was exactly in his head when he agreed to marry Katherine, and what determined him to divorce at the end.

There were also questions related to Katherine remained desperately unsolved, lingering in his mind: what was Katherine thinking when she signed off on the divorce settlement? And what were her feelings when he tried so hard to make up to her?

Not after a while, Peter came to give him a sheet of statement. As he stepped inside the office, he was bewildered by the strange pensive look on Marshall's face, "What happen, boss? Is there something wrong with you?"

Marshall stubbed out his cigarette, and answered, "Nope."

Peter laughed, "Just get yourself a mirror and see how aggrieved you are looking now."

Handing the statement over to Marshall, Peter asked, "You are again thinking about Kathy, aren't you? By the way, I have watched that television show, and Hector's romantic performance was fascinating. It was really irresistible to any girl, you know?"
