On the other hand, Mrs. Grant went to the Grant’s Group and happened to see Peter coming out. She walked up to him immediately. "Peter, hold on!"
Peter was making for the car, but stopped upon hearing Mrs. Grant calling him. He was shocked to see her. "It’s you. What’s wrong?"
Mrs. Grant smiled and said, "Isn’t Marshall in the company? He hasn’t answered my calls for days. I’ve been waiting here for a while, but haven’t seen him coming out."
Peter replied, "Mr. Grant isn’t here. He’s away and it has been days. Probably the signal is so poor over there that he has missed your calls."
Mrs. Grant frowned. "Away? On a business trip? Where could it be that has such a bad signal?"
Peter didn’t know whether he should tell the truth or not, but he was aware that Mrs. Grant was not a fan of Katherine. Peter wondered if she would get angry if he told her Marshall was away to look for Katherine.
He hemmed and hawed before replying, "I don’t know where he has gone exactly, but it’s not a business trip, but a personal one, so Mr. Grant didn’t tell me the details, nor did I ask."
Mrs. Grant stared at Peter in astonishment. "A personal trip? What personal trip could he have?"
Peter gave a dry laugh and replied, "Well, I don’t know about that."
Mrs. Grant nodded. "Well, fine. You may go home now, and I’ll make another call to him."
Peter bowed his head at her and left.
Mrs. Grant, however, didn’t call Marshall, but stayed where she was, thought for a while and stopped a taxi, rushing to Katherine’s shop.
There was only Margaret when Mrs. Grant arrived. Since there weren’t many customers, Mrs. Grant simply walked straight in.
"Welcome!" Hardly had Margaret greeted Mrs. Grant than she saw her clearly, stunned. "It’s you, Mrs. Grant."
