Chapter 15 Ill-Intended

Katherine and Louie stayed near the bonfire for a moment. After they returned to their seat, there was
no one sitting at the table.

She did not care, and then sat down.

She had few glasses of wine on an empty stomach, then she had a lot of roast meat kabobs.

So now her stomach began to churn.

Katherine had a sip of juice to settle her stomach, but that did not work.

Louie got himself all sweaty when he was barbecuing.

But he was smiling all the way.

His eyes fell on Katherine. “I’ve checked the weather forecast. It won’t be too hot tomorrow. Let’s go out
together, and I’ll plan out the route, so what do think?”

Katherine looked at the seat where Marshall had just sat. “Let’s talk about it later.”

She was not in the mood thinking about tomorrow.

There was no performance on the stage, because everyone was dancing and singing around the
bonfire.

People got more excited than ever.

Louie’s eyes rested on somewhere. “Then why don’t we go over there? See, they are all dancing
around. It should be very fun.”

Katherine had a look toward it casually. “I want to stay here to take a rest. I’m not feeling well.”



She was uncomfortable indeed – she felt like vomiting.

Louie got worried instantly. “What’s wrong? What’s the matter?”

The aroma from the barbecue flew over. It really smelled good.

But Katherine suddenly could not stand it.

She looked at Louie. “I have a stomachache. Could you please go to the hotel reception and get me
some medicine?”

Her face was colorless. Her face had turned red because of the heat from fire, but now the redness had
gone.

She looked pale now.

Louie stood up immediately. “OK, stay here and wait for me. I’ll be right back.”

Sitting on her chair, Katherine saw he had gone and got up.

She walked along the beach, and got away from the riotous party.

When she’d gone far enough, she could no longer smell the barbecue.

There were large rocks on the beach. Katherine picked one and sat down on it.

The damp wind made her feel cold.

Then she held her legs with a long sigh.

Actually, she was wondering whether she should leave here.

Staying here, she could not get Marshall out of sight, then how could she let go of the past?



She could not forget it when she kept seeing the one that she liked.

Katherine had sat on the rock for a long time, and then the other side of the beach became quiet.

She got off the rock and walk toward the hotel slowly.

After several steps, she heard a familiar voice of someone running up to her and calling her name.
“Kathy, here you are.”

Katherine knew who it was the minute she heard the voice, but she pretended she hadn’t heard
anything.

Peter was upset. He caught up with her quickly. “Don’t act as if you cannot hear me. I know you’ve
heard my voice.”

Katherine turned around and looked at him, then her eyes fell behind him trying to find something.

But she did not see Marshall.

She frowned, “Where is your boss? You two are not together?”

Peter sneered, “Your ex came back to the hotel first. I was going back as well, but then I thought it was
dangerous for you to stay alone with a strange man, so I’d come for you.”

Katherine scoffed, “There are a lot of people on the beach, how can it be dangerous for me?”

Peter and Katherine walked to the hotel together. “Listen, you can go out to relax, but can you stay
away from those ill-intended guys? Think about the way he looked at you tonight, he’s definitely up to
something.”



Katherine stopped and stared at him. “Your boss is alone with a woman as well. Do you think he is also
ill-intended and up to no good?”
