CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times

Chapter 11 Hostility

Katherine did not go downstairs right away, but lied on the windowsill and stared into the ocean shore for a while. There must be a lot of preparation before the bonfire party. It was useless to show up now. Katherine grabbed her phone and took few selfies, then posted on her moments. She looked so perky and charming with a bright smile and her braided hair. She was in her best years, with such a youthful face, there’s no need for any photoshopping indeed. Katherine stared at her photos for a while and then turned off the phone.

However, she knew, nobody would check her moments. She did not have any friend in her Facebook contact list. There used to be some of the Grant. But she wondered whether they had deleted her.

She kept leaning against the windowsill till the darkness overwhelmed all and the beachside started getting riotous.

She stretched and walked out unhurriedly.

The banquet on the beach had already started, the hotel also set up a stage, men and women were dancing around, immersed in the cheers and whistles of audiences.

The nearby area of the beach was all placed with tables and chairs, on top of them you could find all sorts of drink and snacks. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Katherine came close and looked around. There were barely any empty seats for her. But Katherine did not hurry to find a seat, she was still walking around lazily.

A staff at the side saw her and came up to her, “Miss, are you alone? Please have a seat here.” He pointed at the table. Surprisingly, this table only have four women.

Katherine nodded, “Thanks.”

She walked to the table and sat down.

Those women seemed like they all came here together, they looked at each other and continued their laughing and talking.

Katherine did not feel any awkwardness. She poured herself a glass of wine and leaned back on her chair, sipping her drink slowly.

But after a while, a man approached, obviously for Katherine.

He held his wine glass and asked, “Hello, would you mind if I sit here?”

Katherine turned around and looked up.

Those women all flocked together, which made some room for her side.

She raised her eyebrow, “I don’t mind”

The man sat down and stared at the stage for a while then he started to strike up a conversation with her. “Are you here alone? I’ve seen you barely talk to anyone.”

Katherine smiled, “Right, alone.”

Other women at the table took a glance at her and then looked somewhere else in embarrassment. There’s a saying that same sex repels each other is quite reasonable. Especially among beautiful women, they would dislike each other for no reason at all.

The man smiled. “What a coincidence, I’m alone as well. I came here to relax. But I did not think it would be this interesting. And they even held such a bonfire party.”

Staring at the stage, Katherine did not reply.

This table was a bit far from the stage, so she couldn’t see clearly the kind of dance they were performing.

Thinking for a while, the man got closer to Katherine. “How long will you stay here? We’re both here alone. Maybe we could hang out tomorrow, what do you think?”

Katherine took a look at him, smiled, but she didn’t say anything.

Her phone was on the table facing down. It vibrated.

Katherine took her phone and checked the message from Peter. It was only a request for sharing location, without any other words.

She never played with these kind of thing before, just saw two popped up options “Confirm” and “Cancel”. Originally she thought of cancelling, but then she thought of something when she tapped on the screen. So she eventually confirmed. Then her icon began to glint slowly. She did not know well about this function, so she put her cell phone back on the table.

The man sitting next to her was still talking, “I’ve looked up on some of the traveling routes. There are some quite fascinating attractions worth visiting…”

Katherine took her glass, “Cheers.”

The man paused for a sec and nodded. Then he also held his glass to clink with hers.

After a glass of wine, he poured her another glass. “How old are you? It seems that you’ve just graduated, so you’re traveling after the graduation?”

Katherine raised her eyebrow, “Do I look like a student?” She said with a faint smile, her dimple showing vaguely.

With his eyes fixed on Katherine’s face, the man was bewitched.
