Chapter 241 People Will Change
After making the breakfast, Katherine prepared for the driving test.
Seeing it was almost time, she called Margaret and said she wanted her to be the companion to check their store.
After all, they would share this store. No matter what requirement Margaret had, she could discuss with her and talk with the decoration workers.
Margaret was glad at hearing it and replied with a smile, “You’re so considerate. It makes me feel like I am the co-partner.”
Katherine also smiled and said, “I can give you commission if the store runs well, so you can be a co- partner in a way.” Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Margaret hurriedly thanked her and asked whether she could go to the store now because she was free.
Considering she had nothing else to do, Katherine dressed up and was ready to go.
When she was of her way of calling a taxi to the store, Peter sent her a piece of message.
It had nothing to do with the decoration, but about asking how Katherine torture Marshall yesterday evening.
He said Marshall was listless and didn’t look well for the whole morning.
Peter was hinting for something and didn’t say it directly.
However, Katherine could get his erotic thought about the affection between she and Marshall.
She directly sent him a voicemail, saying, “Well, your boss was not at home for a whole night. I don’t know which woman takes his spirit away. I can’t give you an exact answer.”
Peter was startled and also sent a voicemail, “Your ex-husband was not at home yesterday night? Why didn’t you call him? How can you tolerate him for being out for a whole night?”
Katherine was also startled. How did Marshall’s deed have anything to do with her? And why did she have to call him?
It was so ridiculous. What was their relation now? How could she give him a call?
Another point was that they didn’t get along well last night. If she did ask, she couldn’t fight back if Marshall scoffed at her.
She was not so foolish that would do things that wouldn’t do her any good.
Peter thought for a while and started making an excuse for Marshall, “Maybe it was a business thing and he was suddenly called out.”
Katherine smiled and replied, “This excuse is so poor.”
It was true that this excuse sounded so fake that even Peter himself wouldn’t believe it. Hence, Peter didn’t respond anything.
Katherine arrived in front of the store and found Margaret was already there.
Two decoration workers also arrived.
All original decoration in the store should be demolished and luckily it was simple and will not cost them too much time.
Katherine put the phone in her bag and went to have a look.
She did a simple check, finding that if the demolishment of the bar will make the room for activities in the store more considerable..
She turned to look at Margaret, “What do you think?”
The original decoration was Margaret’s work and there were some inappropriate designs. Now hearing Katherine want to know her opinions, she hurriedly went to communicate with the decoration workers.
She said she wanted to have two sinks and wanted the wall cabinet behind the bar to be transparent.
Katherine checked, turned around, and found the workers were demolishing the plaque.
One worker also asked her if she had decided the name for her store.
Katherine had come up with a name, however, she thought it might go too far.
The name was “Miss You”.
She was afraid people would laugh at the name because it sounded too cliché.
She hurriedly shook her head and responded, “Not yet. I am not in a hurry. Maybe I can hang the plaque until the decoration is done.”
The worker smiled, “You can start to think as many names as you can and pick one from them. Don’t wait until the last second and have to hang an unwanted name.”
Katherine nodded and replied, “Yes, I know.”
Many wasted things were piled up in front of the store, such as the wasted bar table and cupboard.
A passer-by came and asked how much were those things.
Katherine didn’t know what price she could offer and could only ask that man what was his ideal price.
Anyway, those things were not valuable. If nobody purchased them, she could only throw them away because they wouldn’t use them in their house.
The man gestured a figure with his fingers and Katherine didn’t even look at it when responding, “Deal.”
That man was startled, saying, “Well, girl, you’re really prompt when doing business.”
Katherine smiled and answered, “Anyway, I don’t think you will give unreasonable price. There is no need to bargain. Let’s do it quickly and happily.”
The man smiled and pointed the store opposite to hers, saying, “Girl, that is my store. You can come to find me if you have any trouble. I can tell you’re a nice girl from your brisk character.”
Katherine looked at that direction and found the man was running floor business.
However, her store had already finished flooring and there was nothing he could help.
In order to be polite, Katherine said, “Yes, I will remember this. I will find you in the future when I need help.”
The man smiled, took the cash from his pocket and handed it to Katherine.
He called staff in his store to move those things.
Katherine turned around, got in the store, and handed the money to Margaret.
It was Margaret who made the bar and it was natural to give her the money.
Margaret was startled and smiled after receiving the money, saying, “Kathy, you’re really generous.”
Katherine also smiled. Actually, what she did had nothing to do with generosity. She wouldn’t profit at other people’s expense even when she was poor.
The money belonged to anyone deserved it.
Peter came after a long time. Seeing two girls already arrived, he smiled and asked, “Boss, what do you feel? Is it larger than you expect?”
Katherine nodded and replied, “Yes, indeed. It’s wider and larger.”
Peter leaned against the door and looked inside, “I have seen the drawing and you can make full use of the space here. At that time, this store will look amazing.”
Margaret signed beside them and said, “I used to do the decoration on myself to cut the budget. Now it seems I must be bluffed by others.”
Katherine petted her shoulder and could understand her feeling well. If were not Marshall and Peter, she would also be bluffed.
Peter hadn’t eaten anything yet. Finding it was almost time to have lunch, Katherine suggested, “How about I treat you guys for lunch? There are some restaurants nearby.”
Margaret was a bit shy and hurriedly waved her hands, “Never mind. I have to go home now. You can go together.”
Katherine frowned and said, “Nothing. You don’t have to be so polite with me.”
Margaret directly turned to leave and said, “There is no need, really. I have to go home.”
Katherine didn’t hold her back anymore and also went outside after Margaret had left, “Let’s go. I am hungry now.”
Peter followed her and asked, “Tell me the truth, did you and your ex-husband quarrel last night? Otherwise, he wouldn’t leave home for a whole night. He’s not that kind of person.”
Katherine pouted and looked back at him, saying, “What do you mean? Why are you always trying to find problems from me when Marshall is the one who makes mistakes? Are you going to blame me for not charming enough if he went to slept with other girls last night?”
Peter was startled and found he was indeed not putting himself in her shoes about this thing.
He smiled and put his arms around Katherine’s shoulder, saying, “Well, don’t be angry. I didn’t mean it. I am just surprised because our doss never behaves in that way.”
Katherine grunted: It didn’t mean he would never change. People weren’t evil at the very beginning. They would all change with time.
