Chapter 178 A Slap in the Face
Catherine looked calmly at Audrey, who was raising her hand to her ears with a look of earnest assurance. She could sense that she didn’t dislike Audrey and even felt that Audrey was somewhat adorable.
It was true that she didn’t like physical contact with others, but it didn’t bother her when Audrey touched her. Looking at Audrey’s frightened look, Catherine wrapped an arm around her shoulder and said softly, “It’s okay!”
Audrey froze for a moment, her eyes falling straight onto Catherine’s hand on her shoulder. In shock, she realized something else.
She stared straight at Catherine’s hand and couldn’t help but exclaim, “Wow, Kathy, your fingers look so good, don’t they? They’re fair and beautiful, just like the hands of a comic book character.”
After saying that, she reluctantly waved her hands and said unhappily, Look at my hands. I take care of them every day, but they’re not as good as yours. Your hands would look even greater if you were to play the piano.”
The camera also fixed on Catherine’s hands as Audrey exclaimed. The crowd’s eyes were drawn to the pair of hands.
Catherine’s eyes, on the other hand, landed on Audrey’s exaggerated expression. She found that any little thing seemed worthy of being magnified in Audrey’s case, causing her to let out a wow.
It was kind of amazing how Audrey’s flurry of astonishment left people speechless and made them find her adorable at the same time.
Following Audrey’s gaze, Catherine glanced at her hand. They looked beautiful on the surface, smooth and tender, but outsiders didn’t realize how many calluses were hidden inside, which were honed from hard work.
The program team had a headache. They thought, “Why don’t the Swann sisters follow the script? Their minds are too active.”
If it wasn’t for the favorable ratings, the director might have already blown up at them. Finally unable to bear it, the director flew into a rage. He held a loudhailer and shouted in Audrey’s direction, Audrey, do you want your clue or not?”
Audrey came to her senses and hurriedly shouted, “Yeah, of course!”
How could she not want the opportunity that Kathy had managed to get for her? Audrey rushed up and took the clue. But she was dumbfounded when she unfolded it.
Holding the paper, she looked at the director with a puzzled gaze. “Director, are you sure this is a clue? You didn’t make a mistake, did you?”
A mysterious smile escaped the director’s face, and inwardly, he was pleased with himself. “It’s hard enough to stop you, isn’t it?” he thought.
Then, he put on a serious look and nodded. “That’s right. This is the clue. It’s also a puzzle, and you’ll have to answer it yourselves!”
Audrey was dumbfounded after hearing this. She glared at the director with a face full of disgust and muttered in a disgruntled voice, “You’re such a pain in the ass!”
The director was speechless. He thought, “How come such a group of oddballs were admitted?” He was furious. It was always the stars who tried to please the director, but he was so unlucky when it was his turn.
Audrey didn’t care that much and directly handed the paper to Catherine. “Kathy, the troublesome director is giving us problems again!”
Hearing Audrey’s description of him, the director was exasperated. “Doesn’t she realize that everyone can hear her? he said inwardly.
The crowd held back their laughter as they looked at Audrey. However, Audrey was completely oblivious to the fact that she had again left a bad impression on the director.
She was just waiting for Catherine to give the answer. Catherine glanced at the paper and realized it was a very simple graphic cipher.
In her eyes, this kind of question could be solved even by a kindergartener. She took the clue and headed towards the front according to the guiding direction. Audrey hurriedly followed behind her.” Kathy, have you guessed the answer to the riddle? That fast?”
Catherine nodded without much response. Audrey obediently followed. After walking for a while, she realized that Catherine didn’t even need to look at the map or the signposts, and they seemed to be going the wrong way.
“Kathy, if we keep going like this, we’ll be out of the area. Are you going the wrong way? Where are we going?”
Catherine really couldn’t stand Audrey to be such a chatterbox anymore. She directly told Audrey the answer, “The people are in the Ferris wheel!”
Audrey froze for a moment and then reacted. Pointing over her shoulder, she said, Shouldn’t the Ferris wheel this way? Kathy, the sign says go this way.”
Catherine stopped in her tracks, her gaze slightly gloomy. She wrapped her arms around her chest, her aura intimidating and overwhelming.
“Do you believe me or the signage?” asked Catherine. As a normal person, one should believe the guidance sign at this point. After all, it was the official answer. But as Catherine’s fangirl, Audrey naturally chose to believe Catherine without hesitation.
“I believe you!” Audrey replied firmly. The gentle smile in Catherine’s beautiful eyes intensified. “Let’s go!”
This scene of the two was recorded by the camera throughout. Many people weren’t satisfied with Catherine’s performance and complained about it in the bullet comments.
“This Catherine is way too confident. Look at her, how proud she is!”
“Although Catherine is a bit arrogant, Audrey is very obedient. No matter what else, she regards whatever Catherine says as right!”
Netizens all seemed to have very short memories. It was a slap in the face for them when the last math problem had been done. But now they had already forgotten about it.
Whatever wasn’t possible seemed to be easy to Catherine. She led Audrey around a little bit, then arrived at the ticket gate for the Ferris wheel. Audrey was shocked. “Kathy, why do I feel like we’re going so fast.”
“Taking a shortcut will be faster!” Catherine answered.
“Kathy, do you know the park well?
How do you know the shortcut?” Audrey was stunned and looked at Catherine with amazement. Why did she feel that Catherine knew everything?
If she didn’t know the park well, how did she know the shortcut?
The routes on the guide boards of the park were all provided for tourists in order to make it easier for them to visit as much as they could. With such a route, there were bound to be a few more spots to see and, frankly speaking, a little more walking.
Catherine’s answer to Audrey’s question, once again, shocked everyone. “I looked at the navigation map when I was at the gate the first time I came here!”
It took a full three seconds for Audrey to react to this sentence. She interpreted it in a way that she understood.
“Kathy, you mean you’ve memorized the map of the whole park by just glancing at the navigational map, right?
It looked like not only did she memorize it, but she was also familiar with applying it. Otherwise, how would she know how to take shortcuts?
“Is that hard?” Catherine looked at Audrey in confusion. Audrey wanted to punch herself when she heard Catherine’s relaxed tone. She thought, “Okay, I’m just here on this earth to make up the numbers. I get it. I’ll shut up.”
It was too much of a slap in the face! But Audrey was not the only one who was humiliated. Those netizens had the same feeling as well.
Catherine really got a great comeback on this one.
