Chapter 428 You Are Also A Good Girl

They saw Clara a few stores away when they just turned around.

She was shopping with Mrs. Henderson and joking about something.

Katherine really didn’t feel anything special when she saw Clara.

She just glanced at Frances automatically and wondered if she would feel awkward as she was always the one standing by Clara’s side before.

Frances just paused and grinned, “Clara? What are the odds?”

Clara was dumbfounded when she saw Frances shopping with Katherine.

She was in total shock and greeted Frances after a long time.

Marshall stared at Clara as he had wondered before if she had anything to do with Katherine’s accident earlier.

So now that he had finally met her, he couldn’t help giving her critical eyes.

Mrs. Henderson was equally taken back when she saw Frances accompanying Katherine as she heard that the relationship between Frances and Marshall had gone south because of Katherine and Marshall had blocked Frances completely.

She actually lamented how terrible can a mother be to be blocked by her own son.

But now it seemed like they were quite all right.

Frances’ relationship with Katherine had obviously improved.

Katherine glanced at Clara and looked away, then she said to Frances, “Let’s go. I got to stop by the store later. Margaret is there alone and I’m really concerned.”

Frances nodded and left with Katherine and Marshall after making eye contact with Clara.

While they were passing by, Frances said, “That Margaret seems like a great girl and is being a great help. You should give her a raise.”

Katherine smiled, “Sure, I would give her commission later. It’s better than a pay rise.

Frances nodded and said something, but Clara was unable to hear the whole conversation as they were far away.

Mrs. Henderson frowned and looked at Clara, “Since when did they become so peaceful?”

Clara shook her head slowly, “I don’t know.”

Gazing at Frances and Katherine’s back, her face slowly darkened. “What are they doing together now?”

Then she sneered, “But that Frances is quite useless. She can just say some nice words to Katherine.”

Clara then held Mrs. Henderson’s arms. “Let’s go. We don’t care anyway.”

Mrs. Henderson was quite worried, “But it seems like that Frances had embraced her. It should be quite easy now if Katherine wants to go back to the Grants.”

Clara paused and answered, “It’s not difficult for her to go back even if Frances don’t like her. She doesn’t have too much weight in that house.”

Mrs. Henderson pondered for a while and nodded, “Right. Marshall has never listened to her words anyway.”

Then they just left the mall.

After shopping in a few other stores, Marshall drove Frances and Katherine to the store.

Marshall asked on the way, “What happened? Didn’t you chat with Clara recently? You seemed a bit odd when you two met.”

Frances nodded, “Nothing happened really. She said she was busy recently and I just didn’t feel like disturbing her.”

“Busy?” Marshall deliberated, “There aren’t any business dealings that need Clara between the Grants and the Hendersons recently. What is she busy with?”

Marshall had asked someone to investigate Clara in the past two days and found that she was just staying at home after getting off work.

She wasn’t exactly busy.

Hearing Marshall’s words, Frances just smiled, “Well, she said she was busy and I really don’t care. We really don’t have anything special to do anyway.”

They would only talk about how they can get Clara closer to Marshall every time they met before and nothing else.

She was really fond of Clara before and sincerely hoped that she could marry into the Grants and become her daughter-in-law.

Now that she got a lot of time to spare, she had thought about a lot of things.

She really wondered what on earth did she like about Clara before.

Actually, she had met many girls coming from influential family before and Clara was definitely not the most special one.

Frances really didn’t know the answer and can only attribute this problem to her being so narrow- minded before as she was leading quite a mundane life before and would grow affection for the sort of strictly uptight girl like Clara.

Margret’s boyfriend Eden was also at the store when they arrived.

He seemed a bit tense when he saw them.

Margaret seemed a bit awkward to see Marshall and was quite edgy and didn’t even know how to place her hands.

Marshall didn’t really pay heed to her and after greeting to Eden and Margaret, he sat by the window.

Margaret was quite surprised when she saw the clothes that Katherine bought for her.

Katherine beamed, “I’m actually quite sorry. You basically managed the store alone. I didn’t really do much.”

Margaret grinned, “It’s okay. I was at the store alone before, but there wasn’t much traffic, so I was quite upset. Though it’s busy now, I’m merry every day as the shop is going well.”

Katherine looked at Eden, “Are you off work today? We can shut the store early then. You could have a romantic evening.”

Margaret blushed when she heard about Katherine’s words and stole a glance at Marshall while running through her hair with her hand.

Marshall was talking to Frances and didn’t pay attention to her at all.

Margaret then licked her lips, “Let’s close the store early then. I want to stroll around with him.” NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

Katherine nodded and then told Margaret about the commission. She was quite generous as she knew how much Margaret had sacrificed. By doing this, Margaret would probably earn more than she every month.

Margaret was in shock, “Are you really going to give me this much?”

Katherine nodded, “You deserve this.”

Margaret was jolly and raised the corner of her mouth when she turned to Eden.

They then all sat down as there weren’t many customers now.

There were only two guys present, so Marshall started chatting with Eden.

He just asked where was Eden working and how was his job.

Marshall was just trying to have small talk with him.

Lips pursed, Margaret actually felt a bit distressed when she noticed how uptight was Eden in front of Marshall.

Well, she was perfectly aware of the fact that she wouldn’t be able to keep sort of man like Marshall even if he was handed to her.

‘There is no way that he would have feelings for me. He didn’t even like Clara.’ Margaret thought inside.

While taking about all the stuff that they had purchased before, Frances brought about Clara.

She seemed quite calm, “Well, Clara is also a good girl. Her future husband would be blessed to marry her.”

She then turned to Katherine, “As for you, I got to admit that you are actually a great girl.”
