All Her Secrets

Catherine left the alley and was about to pick up her motorcycle.

Suddenly, a red BMW Z4 sped toward her and parked next to her.

Catherine knew the car was here for her, so she turned to glance at it.

Then, the car parked steadily next to her, revealing Audrey’s smiley face.

“Kathy, are you very surprised to see me?”

Surprised?

That was impossible. However, instead of being surprised, Catherine was shocked!

Catherine lowered her eyes and looked calmly at Audrey. Her cold face was emotionless.

Despite how cold Catherine was all the time, Audrey didn’t seem to mind at all and was as enthusiastic as she could be.

She beckoned at Catherine excitedly. “Kathy, since it’s your first day here, I guessed you probably have no one to have lunch with. I also studied here, and I know a great restaurant with super delicious food nearby. I came specially to take you there. Come on.”

Catherine was planning to skip lessons in the afternoon, as school was somewhat boring.

However, by showing up, Audrey had shattered her plan into pieces.

Without waiting for Catherine to reply, Audrey had already left the car and opened the door for her, pushing Catherine into the vehicle.

“Kathy, you don’t have to be shy. It’s my treat. I’ll make sure you can eat all you can!

“Come on. Let’s go!”

Audrey’s sweet and bright smile looked so dazzling under the sun.

Catherine couldn’t help but take a few glances at her. She couldn’t understand her.

Audrey was clearly treated the worst in the Swanns. However, she wasn’t gloomy at all. She even made one feel warm and couldn’t help but approach her subconsciously, making others unwilling to turn her down.

The restaurant was indeed near the school, as Audrey said it was.

After leading Catherine inside, Audrey started introducing to her earnestly, “The food here is not only delicious but also exquisitely made and well-presented…”

Catherine didn’t pay much attention to Audrey’s chattering, as she noticed two men sitting in the corner as soon as she stepped foot into the restaurant.

Triston was talking about the latest financial news with Branden when Branden stared in a specific direction strangely.

Triston noticed this immediately and looked in the direction Branden was staring at. He didn’t expect to see Catherine there.

“Isn’t that the jinx…”

Before Triston could finish, his face twisted, and he groaned through gritted teeth, looking like he was in great pain.

Catherine took a light glance at them and then looked away.

She didn’t know them well and decided they weren’t worth her attention!

Finally, Triston recovered from the pain and wracked his brain for Catherine’s name. Seeing that Catherine was about to walk into a private room, Triston shouted in a hurry, “Catherine…” His shout caught the attention of not only Catherine and Audrey but everyone in the restaurant as well.

Audrey turned and saw Triston.

She had met Triston before and smiled immediately. “Triston, hey!”

Then, she walked over warmly.

In addition, she even pulled Catherine with her.

Seeing Catherine looking almost as cold as Branden was, Triston decided to focus on Audrey instead.

“Audrey, what a coincidence. Are you here for lunch too?”

Audrey was two years younger than Triston was. Even though Casier was a large city, there were only a few top families.

It made sense for Audrey to know Triston. “It is indeed such a coincidence. My sister attends Loyalty Academy. I’m taking her out for lunch.”

“Join us!” Triston invited earnestly, which made Branden and Catherine frown simultaneously.

Audrey was probably the only one happy about Triston’s invitation. She nodded with a smile. Sure. The table is big enough. There’s only the two of us. It’s just about right!”

Audrey sat down, and naturally, Catherine had to too.

Catherine saw that Branden, sitting next to her motionlessly, had his chin in one hand and was wearing a black patterned shirt. The top two buttons of his shirt were left unbuttoned, revealing his tanned skin underneath. He looked sexy and tempting.

The man was so good at showing himself off. What a tease!

“Kathy!” Audrey said somewhat louder than usual, and Catherine turned to glance at her slowly.

Maybe she was just used to Catherine being so cold all the time, Audrey didn’t seem to notice. anything off about her and asked as enthusiastically as she was all the time. “Kathy, is there anything you’d like? Here’s the menu. Take a look at it.”

Catherine took a glance at the electronic menu and flipped through it casually before putting it down.

“Whatever!”

Thinking that Catherine had just come back from the countryside, Audrey thought that Catherine might not be particularly familiar with the dishes and thus decided to order for her.

“Okay. I’ll order for you then.”

Audrey had just ordered two or three dishes when a man suddenly interrupted her sharply.

“A chicken tikka masala!”

The other three turned their eyes on Branden almost immediately.

Triston didn’t expect Branden to order anything without being pressed. He was used to ordering everything, and according to Branden’s preferences, every time they ate out. When did Branden start ordering for himself?

Besides, didn’t Branden hate strong flavors? Why did he order something as heavy as chicken tikka masala?

Audrey was also stunned. She knew Branden but had never talked with him before.

Branden naturally let off a terrifying aura, so Audrey avoided speaking to him almost subconsciously after sitting down.

She heard that Branden didn’t like to socialize with others. For all these years, Audrey never

heard that he was friends with anybody except Triston.

Hearing Branden order now, Audrey nodded in a hurry and told the server, “And a chicken tikka masala!”

Catherine turned to glance lightly at Branden. He was very observant.

She knew that he had ordered this for her.

Catherine enjoyed strong flavors. All the dishes Audrey had just ordered were light ones.

However, since Catherine had said “whatever”, she would leave everything for Audrey to decide and wouldn’t worry too much about it.

Catherine didn’t know how Branden knew and ordered a chicken tikka masala for her proactively.

Catherine was particularly quiet when she ate. No. She wouldn’t speak even if she wasn’t eating.

Similarly, Branden wouldn’t talk too. To lighten the atmosphere, Audrey and Triston were forced to do all the talking. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

After all, it would be too awkward for all four of them to eat without speaking to one another.

As they chatted, they began talking about Branden and Catherine after a while. Triston couldn’t refrain from saying jokingly, “Audrey, even though we were nothing but friendly acquaintances in the past, we will soon become somewhat related soon, won’t we?”

Stunned, Audrey didn’t understand what he was talking about at first.

Related?

Why would they be related? Was Triston interested in someone from the Swanns? Could it be?
