Chapter 195 Boss, We Were Wrong
Arriving at Class 8, Catherine walked to her seat and sat down as usual. Under the supervision of Branden, her blood sugar control had been good, and she was not as tired as before during this period.
It was no longer like before, where she would immediately lie down and fall asleep upon entering the classroom.
Ronin sat to the side, observing his boss from across the aisle. Since Catherine entered the classroom, she never even glanced at Ronin. It was apparent that Ronin had prepared breakfast in vain today.
After feeling down for three seconds, Ronin quickly regained his lively demeanor and scampered over to Catherine joyfully.
“Boss, wanna drink some hot coffee?”
Catherine had another hobby. She liked to drink hot coffee.
Apart from rose liqueur, Ronin always had a variety of fragrant coffee beans with him. He boiled the coffee until it was slightly hot and served it to Catherine.
Catherine did not refuse and extended her hand toward Ronin. Immediately, Ronin handed the cup of coffee to Catherine.
“Boss, please be careful. It’s a little hot! Since Catherine appeared in Class 8, it was destined that she would be the focus of attention no matter what.
At first, everyone in Class 8 thought that she would be quickly eliminated due to her inability to adapt.
But who would’ve thought that the big shot of Class 8, Bryan, would become Catherine’s lackey while Catherine would become the biggest boss in the entire grade since the moment she stood up against the Student Union president?
Some students noticed that Catherine didn’t start resting like she usually did, so their thoughts became restless.
A group of girls gathered together and approached Catherine cautiously. They dared not approach Catherine too closely, keeping their gazes tightly fixed on her.
Ronin did not like these girls. It was apparent that they did not have good intentions. He was just about to intervene and protect Catherine when she spoke up. “Is there something you need?”
She lazily leaned against the back of the chair with her chin slightly lifted, squinting her eyes and looking at them calmly.
The seemingly lazy but piercing gaze made the girls feel a sudden tremor in their hearts. However, they were not intimidated, which aroused Catherine’s curiosity about their purpose for approaching her.
She raised her eyelids slightly. One of the girls understood Catherine’s gesture and took the initiative to speak about her purpose.
“Catherine, we’ve been watching you and your sister’s variety show.”
Someone started it. Everyone else couldn’t bear to be outdone and eagerly chimed in, saying, “Yeah, we watched every single episode!”
In fact, they weren’t paying attention to Catherine at all. From the moment they heard that she would be on it, they were curious to see how she would embarrass herself.
Surprisingly, Catherine not only did not embarrass herself but became famous after appearing on the variety show, which was quite desirable.
“And then?” Catherine patiently waited for the next part of the story. Seeing that Catherine did not drive them away and was listening to them talk patiently, the few girls got excited and started chatting around her.
“Catherine, you’re so impressive! You know Grayson Clifford!”
“Yes, you even know Peerless Grayson, and he says that you are a very important person to him.”
“Peerless Grayson is my lifelong idol. Could you please help me get his autograph?”
From the chatter of these girls, Catherine managed to figure it out.
“So they came here for Grayson Clifford. No wonder those few people who always avoided me had the guts to come up and talk to me directly today.
“Looks like the power of idols is still strong.
“Every difficulty becomes insignificant for a star-struck girl,” she thought. With a slight smile, Catherine summed up the purpose of their trip. “Do you want his autograph?”
The few girls nodded as if they saw hope, their eyes filled with excitement as they looked at Catherine.
“Can we? If that’s possible, please!”
Their attitude was okay. Since they were classmates and Catherine was not mean, she did not intend to make things difficult for them.
“I heard that Grayson only attended an episode. If I bump into him next time, I will get some autographed photos for you all!”
Although Catherine did not give a definite answer, it was enough to make the girls happy. At first, they had presumed that with Catherine’s aloof personality, she might even scold them. However, they were pleasantly surprised by Catherine’s quick acceptance.
They also knew that Grayson would only be a guest on one episode. However, it was a pleasant surprise that Catherine agreed to their request. The few girls looked gratefully at Catherine, constantly expressing their thanks.
After they left, Ronin reluctantly approached Catherine and muttered, ” Boss, why did you say yes? These people usually look at you with disdain. Why bother with them?”
Although having that brat Grayson sign a few words would be very simple, Ronin did not want to do so. Those who did not like his boss were hated and cursed by him.
Upon hearing Ronin’s words, Bryan couldn’t help but frown and look at him disdainfully. “You’re a man. How can you be so narrow-minded and petty? Can’t you be more open-minded?”
If those words were spoken by Catherine, Ronin would take it as a warning and listen to them obediently. When someone else, especially Bryan, said it, it was considered a provocation. Ronin instantly became furious, like a cat on a.rampage.
He slammed the table and gave Bryan a fierce glare.
“You brat! Say it again!
“So what if I’m petty and narrow- minded? If you’re open-minded, then why don’t you step up?”
Bryan shouted aggressively, “Are you crazy?”
Seeing the two about to argue again, Catherine slammed the book in her hands onto the table impatiently.
[Bang!]
With a deafening sound, the classroom fell silent. Catherine took a glance around. Both of them lowered their heads obediently, showing an expression of guilt.
Seeing that the two were quiet, Catherine scolded impatiently, “Do you think you are still in kindergarten?
“You are arguing every day. Don’t you get tired? If you want to keep arguing, then get lost! All of you!” One “get lost” made Ronin so scared that the blood drained from his face. He looked as pale as a ghost.
He immediately apologized and promised Catherine that he wouldn’t make the same mistake again.
“Boss, I swear I won’t do it again. Please don’t kick me out, I beg you!”
Catherine crossed her arms and didn’t say anything. Seeing that she was still angry, Ronin quickly signaled to Bryan with his eyes.
Although Bryan was reluctant and felt that the fault was not his, he didn’t want to be driven away by Catherine and obediently lowered his head to apologize.
“Boss, we were wrong. I won’t argue with Ronin again!” “At least not in front of you,” he continued inwardly.
Both parties admitted their mistakes with a unified attitude and maintained a friendly and dignified demeanor. Catherine wanted to quiet her mind so she didn’t make things difficult for them.
“If you keep making trouble, just get lost!”
“Sure!” The two of them promised in unison. Catherine lay down to rest and ignored them. Ronin and Bryan were exchanging blows remotely again, but they wised up this time.
They didn’t argue but instead exchanged fiery glances. After all, neither of them liked each other. Bryan thought Ronin was too brutal and didn’t follow the rules when doing things.
Ronin couldn’t stand how Bryan always acted like a spoiled brat. “Just because he’s a rich kid, does that make him special?” he thought.
Long story short, they were born enemies.
