All Her Secrets

Faced with the requests from the homeroom teacher and students, the math teacher stared so hard till her eyes were about to fall out of their sockets. She did not want to give in, but the principal was there.

The principal had shot her a look earlier, urging her to decide quickly. She had no choice but to make a compromise to avoid offending the principal.

She stared at Catherine coldly and said with clenched jaws, “Catherine, I am sorry. I take back what I said to you earlier.”

Catherine scanned the math teacher slowly. She would have forgiven her if the math teacher had apologized sincerely.

“Excuse me, did you forget something?” Catherine suddenly asked.

As soon as she did that, Bryan and the others piped up. “Yeah, did you forget about what you agreed on earlier?”

The math teacher turned around and glared at Bryan. “Shut up!” she barked coldly.

Bryan shrugged as if he could not care less. Then he put on a hurt expression and said, “Fine then. Since you do not hold up to your promises, we should perhaps let our parents know what kind of school we are in.”

When he said this, the principal’s expression darkened immediately.

The principal knew clearly what Bryan’s background and status were. It would be troublesome if the members of the parents’ council knew about this matter.

David and the others were shocked too. Bryan never liked to brag about his family and status. This was his first time using his family’s influence, and they were surprised that it was to help Catherine.

It seemed that Catherine held an important position in Bryan’s heart.

“It is important to uphold promises to the students,” the principal said to the math teacher. “I will return to the office now. Please come to me after you have taken care of this matter.”

The principal shot a look of warning before he left. This scared the math teacher.

From now on, she had another person whom she hated, and that was Bryan.

If Bryan had not threatened the principal with his family’s influence, she would not have been forced to apologize.

Even though she was unwilling, she gritted her teeth and said, “I’m a pig!”

After that, she glared at Catherine. “Happy now?” she asked.

Catherine just shrugged and scoffed.

The math teacher could not stand it anymore. She threw open the door and left the room.

The homeroom teacher heaved a sigh helplessly. She hoped that the math teacher could learn a lesson from this. They should treat all students equally, rather than looking down on students who seem to have bad grades or were from families that were not as powerful.

“Alright, the show is over. Go back to your seats and get ready for the next class.”

The students scattered. Bryan followed Catherine back to their seats.

Catherine had moved her table earlier, so she had to move it back now.

When Bryan saw this, he immediately rushed over and pushed on the table before Catherine could.

“Boss, how can you do such manual work yourself? Let me do it! You can take a rest.”

Catherine glanced at him. Instead of objecting, she let go of her table and allowed Bryan to move it and the chair back to their original spot.

The other students witnessed their exchange of words. They covered their mouths and tried not to laugh.

Bryan was being a dutiful servant to his boss.

Meanwhile, Liana stood in a corner in the distance and stomped her feet in anger when she saw this.

She had just found out yesterday when she went home that Catherine had hit Johnathan. Johnathan had always been their parents’ favorite since they were kids, but even he got taken down a peg by Catherine.

Liana was quite happy to hear about it as she could finally see Johnathan get what he deserved.

However, she was surprised her dad did not react to Johnathan getting hit. Not only that, her mom did not get angry at Catherine either!

What exactly was going on?

Her mom had always treated Johnathan as her precious baby and never even scolded him. But now, she did not make Catherine apologize for hitting Johnathan. This was out of the ordinary.

By then, Bryan had repositioned the desk and rearranged the objects back to their original place neatly. Then he turned around and leaned sideways against the door frame while looking at Catherine.

“Boss, please take a seat!”

Catherine turned around. She glanced at the desk expressionlessly and slowly walked over to sit down.

When she sat down, Bryan followed suit quickly.

He could not wait any longer. As soon as he sat down, he wanted to ask Catherine how she managed to get full marks so easily.

Bryan’s family tested his intelligence when he was very young. His IQ was much higher than the average person, and one could say that he was exceptionally bright.

But even he could not do what Catherine had done.

Plus, Catherine did not even have to try hard to do it. She just did it offhandedly.

How crazy was that!

Bryan turned around and unexpectedly saw that Catherine had sprawled across the desk and was asleep.

Bryan had no choice but to leave Catherine alone.

For some reason, he always felt it was wrong to disturb Catherine when she slept.

Catherine never said that she disliked being disturbed when she slept. However, she had this natural aura that when people saw that she was asleep, everyone would subconsciously soften their movements in fear of waking her up.

Catherine woke up just when the bell rang at the end of the class.

When Bryan saw she was finally awake, he took the initiative to speak.

“Boss, the test scores are out, and we all did pretty well. David and the others want to eat a barbecue to celebrate. There is an awesome restaurant. Do you want to come with us?”

Hearing his voice, Catherine turned and looked at Bryan. She saw how Bryan’s eyes were full of anticipation, and that the other guys were excited. Catherine wanted to reject them initially, but she ended up saying, “Just a barbecue?”

Bryan thought that she was worried about the time, so he nodded with an earnest expression.

“Boss, we promise the barbecue will not take up too much of your time. I know that your time is precious…”

Bryan had prepared a long script to convince Catherine to accept the invitation. He did not expect Catherine to interrupt him in his speech with a single word.

“Okay!”

Bryan froze. He could not process what had just happened. It only dawned on him after David tugged him from the back.

Bryan stared at Catherine In shock as if he could not believe he had succeeded so easily.

“Boss, are you playing with me?”

Catherine stared at Bryan from the corner of her eyes and arched an eyebrow.

“If we are not going, I will go home now, okay?”

With that, Catherine started walking out of the classroom.

Bryan picked up his backpack and hurried out.

“Let’s go!” he called out while he ran to catch up with Catherine. “How can we not go? Boss, wait for me!”

Bryan and the others had driven to school. When he reached the entrance, Bryan earnestly invited Catherine to ride his car.

His car was the newest Lamborghini model. He just got it last month as a gift, and it was the best sports car in the group.

“Boss, get in my car. I will be your driver for the day!”

Catherine glanced at the new sports car and shook her head.

“No need for that. I can ride by myself and will be behind you guys.”

Bryan watched as Catherine walked away. He could not stop her at all.

David walked to Bryan’s side and poked him. “Bryan, did I hear correctly? The boss said she is riding.

“What is she going to ride? A bike or a scooter?”

Bryan jabbed David back with his elbow and glared at him unhappily. “Watch your language. Even if Boss comes on a bike, no one is allowed to laugh. You all have to compliment her on it!” Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Bryan realized that David was not listening to him at all.

This annoyed him. He frowned and was about to hit David when he realized that David was staring behind him with a look of shock.

“Wow, Bryan, look!

“Boss is awesome!”
