CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times

Chapter 8 Coincidence

Early the next day morning, Katherine arrived at the airport.

The flight was going to take off so early that Katherine was yawning all the way to the airport.

As soon as she arrived at the airport, the announcement started broadcasting that her flight is ready for boarding.

Peter booked a business class for her, the seat next to her was empty when she boarded. Luggage put away, she made a few more yawns after seated.

Passenger started to get on one by one. It seemed that there’s not much of passengers on this flight, Katherine observed.

She paid the boarders only a few glances, and then shifted in her seat for a position that she could sleep comfortably in. Wearing a sleeping mask she drifted into deep sleep almost in a second.

When the passenger next to her came she did not know, nor care.

She woke at the sound of the wheels of the stewardess’ cart.

Katherine was nudged gently, she then heard the stewardess asking. “Sorry madam, would you like any beverages?”

Katherine removed her sleeping mask. “Coke with ice, please.

The man next to her passed her the drink.

She said her thanks automatically.

When she had taken a sip, the man spoke. “Just lift a finger.”

The voice was so familiar that Katherine paused for a moment. Slowly she turned around, then her expression froze.

Marshall stared at her for a few seconds before he turned his head away to look at Peter on the other side.

Peter shunned Marshall’s stare, covering his face with his hand. He had not dared to looked at Marshall for even a second ever since Marshall found out his seat was next to Katherine’s. Peter’s back facing Marshall and Katherine. He put his headphones on, trying to pretend that he knew nothing about this coincidence.

“Peter booked the ticket for me, I don’t know anything.” Katherine said.

Marshall gave her only a curt nod.

He was still as aloof as he had always been that Katherine had swallowed back down some questions she wanted to ask.

There’s no way she could fall asleep now, so she decided to watch some dramas on her laptop. She doesn’t like to follow dramas but just to relieve the boredom. However, as the drama plays, her eyes strayed away from the screen to Marshall.

Marshall was doing some file reviewing on his laptop, wearing a pair of anti-fatigue glasses.

She had never seen Marshall like this before.

She made a few side glances at Marshall.

He is really handsome, she had to admit. The male Grants were all not bad looking, and Marshall could even stand out among them. This is probably the reason why she had a crush on him at first sight. Women are superficial, she thought and she in particular. Katherine was self-aware.This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

Marshall’s appearance, in the first place, was the reason why she fell in love with him. Although later it probably no longer was. But what had become the reason she could not make sure of anymore. In their married life, seeing him, or even just thinking of him could make her smile goofily.

She never had such feeling on any other man.

She withdrew her eyes from Marshall and cursed herself silently. You are divorced now, and such thoughts wouldn’t change the fact.This man may have all the features to make him a perfect mate. But those features is meaningless if he does not love you.

She put away her laptop and put on the sleeping mask once again.

She could not sleep, but she did not want to see this man.

Huddling herself, she reclined against the chair. But soon, she noticed Marshall was unbuckling the seatbelt and then left.

Stealthily, she took off the sleeping mask. He’s probably going to the restroom, she supposed and then resumed her position.

Then within a minute, she felt the man next to him came back, poking her arm. But she pretended to be asleep. Then the man poked her again. Scowling, Katherine ripped off the mask. But what she saw was not Marshall but a stranger.

The stranger looked well-educated.

He smiled at Katherine. “Hi.”

“You need anything?” Katherine asked awkwardly.

The man gave her a timid smile. “Nah. I just feel kind of bored sitting there alone. You look bored too. So I think maybe we can, you know, have a chat.”

Did I look bored? Frowning, she thought, I looked asleep.

Marshall had actually returned but stopped to watch when he saw a man in his seat.

Apparently, this man was trying to hit on her.

The confusion on Katherine’s face made her look silly and stupid.

The man’s intention was so obvious but she still could not tell. And she said she was looking for a fling back then at the bar. She is so ridiculous.
