Chapter 242 Don’t Look Down upon Me

Katherine and Peter decided to have lunch in the restaurant beside and ordered some stir-fries.

Peter’s phone kept vibrating when they were eating.

Peter was helpless and said, “Well, why they keep texting me? Do they think there is no need for
assistant to take a break? It’s lunch time now.”

He lowered his head and checked the phone, saying, “Just lots of trivial things.”

Katherine didn’t say anything and waited him to finish the job.

Peter put down his phone and continued, “However, I am still in a good situation because of your ex-
husband. With him, people will all show me some respect. He really does me a great favour.”

Katherine smiled, “It’s also because you have done a good job, otherwise, Marshall, with such terrible
character, will never keep you with him.”

Peter really liked Katherine’s praise.

He hurriedly nodded and said, “Well, I don’t want to boast, but I have never done something wrong
when working for him.”

Katherine hesitated for a while when talking about Lucas and said, “I have a question. Is Lucas getting
along well with Marshall? You have to be honest. I won’t tell anyone else.”

Peter frowned and looked at her, asking, “Why you suddenly mention about him? Are you curious?”

Katherine smiled and replied, “I am not at first, but all of you tell me to stay away from him and are
hiding something when judging about him. That’s why I get curious.”

Peter said, “Why you are curious about him? He can’t compare with your ex-husband.”



Katherine found what he said was really funny and argued, “What does it have to do with Marshall if I
am interested with Lucas?”

Peter suddenly stopped talking and replied her after a few seconds, “Well, then let’s talk about Lucas.
Don’t tell your ex-husband about him, otherwise, Marshall will definitely get angry.”

Katherine nodded and replied, “Yes, I see.”

Peter began telling the Grant family’s story.

The Grant family was a large family and contained a variety of people.

No matter what they were plotting, they couldn’t mention it in the public.

Mr. Grant was the oldest among them and went to the company early.

Because he was experienced in dealing with business things, old Mr. Grant naturally let him do more
important jobs.

Although jealous, the other three brothers wouldn’t mention it in the public.

Therefore, the other three brothers got along well with each other than with Mr. Grant.

Especially their child, because they were educated in an environment where their parents were
isolating Mr. Grant, they all alienated their oldest uncle.

Marshall was an introvert kid when he was little and didn’t bond so much with his brothers.

Now the other two brothers’ children all went abroad and only Marshall and Lucas were running
business. Therefore, Peter thought there existed a competing relation between them.

Katherine nodded and said, “I see.”



The reason why Marshall reminded her to keep a distance from Lucas was because he didn’t get along
well with him?

Marshall really treated himself as a child? How could he decide others’ friends because his person
judgement? He was so naïve.

After having lunch with Peter, Katherine packed up some and brought them to the two decoration
workers.

Peter smiled when seeing this, saying, “You are really a good girl.”

Marshall was the one who didn’t know to cherish her and missed her.

When they returned, they took dishes to the workers and set them on the table.

Peter was checking everywhere in the store. He had to point out when the workers were careless
because if some problems showed up, it would be hard to make changes in the future.

The decoration workers looked at Peter and said, “Don’t worry. We know you are good people and
won’t entrap you.”

After staying here for a while, Peter had to return to the company.

Katherine walked around the store and found she didn’t understand any of it. Hence, she could only
call a taxi and went home.

When Peter returned to the company, Marshall was having a rest when lying on the chair.

He opened his eyes when seeing Peter came in and his eye rims were a bit red.

Peter said first, “I have checked Kathy’s store and nothing is wrong.”



Marshall nodded and said, “This is your business. You don’t have to report in the future.”

Peter looked at him and said, “You can go inside and lie down if you are uncomfortable.”

Marshall said he was alright after a few seconds.

Peter licked his lip and said, “Haven’t you had a good rest last night?”

Marshall turned around to look at him and asked, “Did Katherine tell you something?”

Peter pretended to know nothing and replied, “Nothing. Kathy didn’t tell me anything.”

His words were really suspicious.

Marshall snorted and remained silent.

Peter didn’t know whether his tentative steps succeeded or not and hurriedly left.

Marshall leaned against the chair and took a deep breath.

Suddenly, his phone vibrated.

He reached out his hand and checked it. It was from Clara. She sent him a document and it was mainly
about the Henderson family’s import requirements.

Marshall texted “copy” to her. Actually, there was no need for Clara to contact him. She only had to
send Peter the document.

Marshall put down his phone, stood up and went to wash his face.

He glanced someone was entering Lucas’s office after he got of the bathroom.



He suddenly reminded that younger Mr. Grant’s birthday was coming.

He also reminded Hector help Katherine when picking the gift.

Great!

He went back to the phone, took out his phone and asked her how much was younger Mr. Grant’s gift.

Katherine was watering the flowers at that time and didn’t notice the message immediately.

When she checked the phone, she found Marshall’s message was from half an hour ago.

She started at the screen and wondered what price she should offer.

It was Kyle who gave her the gift and it were others who gave him.

Therefore, Kyle didn’t know how much it was either.

Katherine was in a dilemma. However, she didn’t want to give up the chance to get money from
Marshall.

She called Kyle and said she wanted to buy the tea set, asking him how much it worth.

Kyle had never asked for money after he already decided to give her the gift. It was a shame for him.

He said unhappily, “Kathy, are you doing this on purpose. Are you looking down upon me?”

Katherine didn’t know how to respond. Why did offering him the money become a humiliation?

In that way, she really wished someone could humiliate her.

Katherine said she didn’t mean this while Kyle continued, “I have told you that I give it to you. Don’t talk
about money with me. Otherwise, don’t blame me for getting angry.”



Afterwards, he changed his tone and smiled, “Well, how about I let the model master make you into the
model the next time you come here. In that case…”

Katherine directly hanged off the phone.
