Chapter 118: Sounds Good

While Katrina lies in bed and rolls her pillow anxiously, a knock sounds on the door.

Katrina is surprised.

Did Marcellus arrive early?

It's still way too early to get off work.

Besides, as a gentleman, Marcellus would never knock on her door without telling her beforehand. He would call her before arriving. If she isn't available, he'd wait for her downstairs.

Yesterday was a fluke. Marcellus couldn't reach her because she didn't have a cell phone, so she took the liberty to come over and give her one.

Getting out of bed, Katrina puts on her slippers and hurries to open the door.

When she opens the door, she is greeted with Farrah's gentle smile.

"Farrah! Why are you here? Don't you have work today?"

At the sight of her best friend, a smile immediately lights up her beautiful face. She drags Farrah inside.

"I'm off work today. I wanted to see how you are."

"I'm good! After a day's rest, I feel refreshed. Farrah, do you want a cup of coffee?"

"Sounds good."

Katrina settles Farrah on the couch and hurries to pour the coffee for her.

As she moves, she completely fails to notice that her phone is currently ringing in her pocket. She accidentally presses the answer b.u.t.ton without knowing it.

While chatting with Farrah, she puts her mobile phone on one side of the sofa and goes to prepare coffee.

Katrina hands the coffee to Farrah once it's ready.

Farrah accepts the drink. "Katrina, aren't you having dinner with Marcellus tonight?"

As Katrina frets about it, she replies, "Yeah, I was going to ask you and Patton to join us for dinner."

Farrah puts down her teacup. "Marcellus already called me about it, but I declined and told him I had overtime work."

"You declined?"

Katrina's face falls.

While she was planning to have a meal together with her friends, her best friend turned the invitation down and came over to tell her about it.

Although Katrina was looking for a reason to skip dinner, she also feels sad about canceling.

Farrah's reply stings.

Seeing Katrina's sad face, Farrah can't resist teasing, "Silly girl! I know what Marcellus is thinking of. Patton and I can't disturb you on your date!

"I deliberately refused him to give you two times alone. Marcellus is really kind, and he's really nice to you. I can tell you that you don't dislike him. Why don't you try dating him and see how it goes?"

Farrah has the best intentions for Katrina and Marcellus.

Marcellus is deeply devoted to Katrina, but she constantly tries to keep her distance from him. While the two seem perfect for each other, their relationship seems a little delicate. But Farrah doesn't want Katrina to miss out on being with an upstanding man like Marcellus.

At Farrah's response, Katrina blushes. "Thank you, Farrah."

Farrah always took care of her while they were in the orphanage. Even now, Farrah still thinks about her welfare.

Katrina finally tells her best friend how she feels, "I've decided to accept Marcellus and try to get along with him."

Marcellus has always looked after Katrina.

In Katrina's youth, she was quite fond of the handsome and gentle boy. For a girl who has just entered p.u.b.erty, it's easy for her to get a crush on such an excellent guy.

Katrina never dared admit that she liked Marcellus before, but she is certain that she never wavered from her feelings.

"Really?" Farrah's face is incredulous.

After making sure that Katrina isn't joking with her, Farrah happily stands up from the couch. "This is great! Katrina, as long as you stop avoiding him, you'll end up together!"

Farrah pulls Katrina up. "Now, go and change your clothes! You must dress up and look good for him! Actually, that's why I came today. I wanted to supervise you getting ready!"

But as she pushes Katrina back to her room to change, Katrina struggles to stammer, "Farrah, I actually don't feel well today. I was planning to call Marcellus to ask if we can postpone another time."

Farrah blinks in confusion. "What... What's wrong, Katrina?"

"Well... my head is a little sore. I went to the cemetery to visit my father today. I probably got heat stroke on the way back."

Katrina was never good at lying, especially to people close to her.

As soon as Katrina mentions that she isn't feeling well, Farrah immediately approaches her out of professional instinct. "Show me."

Katrina quickly ignores her request. "Farrah, I'm okay. It's fine."

Earlier, Katrina sat on Farrah's other side with her hair down to cover her injury.

But now, Farrah can clearly see the bruise on her face through her hair. Seeing the striking handprint on her face, Farrah immediately cries out, "What happened with you?"

Katrina doesn't want anyone to know about her altercation with Sophie because she doesn't want anyone to worry about it.

She has to lie again, "I just accidentally knocked myself. When I went to see my father, I spent too much time sitting, and my feet get numb. I accidentally fell to the ground when I stood up. Farrah, I am really fine. I've already put ice compress on it."

"The handprint is still visible. How could you possibly accidentally knock yourself?"

As a nurse, Farrah can't miss the bruise in front of her eyes.

Seeing Katrina hurt like this, Farrah immediately fumes and grits her teeth. "Did Sophie hit you? She did, didn't she?"

She heard from Marcellus that Katrina went back home to have dinner with the Andersons. And Sophie has always been in conflict with Katrina, constantly finding fault with her. Even without thinking about it, Farrah can easily guess that Sophie did this to her best friend.

Having the truth exposed to Farrah, Katrina can't conceal it any longer. She lowers her head in defeat.

Farrah is particularly worried about the pain on Katrina's face. She can't help but defend her against such injustice. "That vicious woman! You've only been back for two days, but she already hurt you like this!"
