Chapter 4 Getting Drunk
By mid-night, Katherine put on a glamorous make-up. She wasn’t popular in the Grants since she didn’t have any influential
background and the reason she married Marshall was a bit weird. So she was skeptical about other peoples’ opinion to the point
that she felt like she was just reborn now simply by wearing a sexy make-up. Katherine changed into a rather hot-looking dress.
She then stood in front of the dressing mirror and actually loved her outfit now.
Then she went to the most renowned and largest bar in the downtown which was divided into several sections. There was public
dance floor where all sorts of men and women were lap dancing.
Katherine looked around and found that the bar even had a business section where she didn’t feel the need of going. She then
found a vacant spot in the public section, walked towards it, sat down, called the waiter over and ordered two bottles of wine plus
a fruit tray, leaning against the sofa, she sipped the wine and observed people dancing.
The decorative colorful lights were a bit flashy, Katherine found it hard to see other faces. But they all seemed happy. Katherine
thought. She is richer than those people. How can she not be happy? While thinking about this, she ordered several more fruit
trays. She can lead a care-free life with the alimony and stock dividends, she doesn’t need to work at all.
Someone then came over and tried to hit on her. It was unsurprising that someone would make a move since she was here
alone and looked gorgeous.
The man sat down right away, “Alone?”
By looking at him, she could tell that he must be a decent guy.
She knew that people here are for fun and open to one night stand and so on, so she didn’t answer back, drank all the wine and
raised her glasses at him.
The man also gulped down the wine.
Katherine smiled and put down the glass.
The man immediately gave her a refill.
Katherine felt a lot better inside. She was aware of her beauty and definitely would feel shitty if no one tried to hit on her. But she
can’t help thinking while having drinks. She wondered what Marshall was doing now. He is probably celebrating now since he
finally got the divorce as he wished. Irritated by this thought, Katherine ordered another round of wine.
But just so it happened that Marshall was in the private room of the business section in the bar.
There’s a business party which isn’t that formal.
He was entertaining a prospective business partner who was pretty influential in the overseas market which the Grants intended
to break into. If he could seal the deal with this guy, it would be much easier for the Grants to go international. What’s more, this
guy invited Marshall out himself today.So there was no way Marshall would reject him.He was a middle-aged man and seemed
to be a regular client here. But he only talked about the business stuff symbolically and then called quite a few escorts over.
Marshall wasn’t interested in these kinds of sexily ambiguous amusements and actually found them wicked. Still, he cheered
with Martin Newman with a few drinks.
Martin laughed, “It seems you are not used to this kind of places.”
Marshall too smiled, “Yeah. No.”
Shaking the wine bottles, Martin suggested, “You would probably feel better after some drinks.”
Marshall laughed and clinked glasses with him.
Martin brought this red wine himself which tasted a bit dry but not to the point of being undrinkable.
Marshall didn’t know the brand of the wine and didn’t like it. He then leaned against the couch after a few drinks and nudged
back, pushing the escort girls in his embrace away.
