Chapter 201 She Was Attracted to Him
The next day, Audrey was still in bed when Catherine was ready for school. Audrey struggled to get up and walk out of the room after she heard vague noises.
Seeing Catherine with her bag, Audrey’s eyes instantly widened as she glanced at the clock on the wall.
“Geez, it’s so late. Kathy, sorry. I’m up late again.” ”
She looked at Catherine with a frustrated look and said, “I was going to make you breakfast, but I got up late again.”
Catherine knew Audrey got back from her event in the early morning, and it was almost impossible for Audrey to wake up at 7 o’clock to cook breakfast for her.
“I’ll just eat in the restaurant!”
Audrey reminded Catherine with a guilty expression, “Please do. Breakfast is the foundation of the day!”
After all, Catherine could only eat out because Audrey couldn’t get up early.
“Okay!”
Catherine continued, “You can go back to sleep. I’m leaving!”
Looking at the door open and close, a sweet smile appeared on Audrey’s face. The two dimples on the corner of her mouth made her look adorable, and she might not even know how cute she looked now.
“Kathy has been talking to me a little more lately. That’s so nice!” After muttering to herself, Audrey returned to her room to continue sleeping.
There was nothing more comfortable and joyful than being able to sleep. As soon as Catherine walked out the door, she heard a deep and hoarse voice coming from not far ahead. “Good morning!”
The familiar voice evoked Catherine’s good mood for the day. She looked up slowly and saw the man standing across from her in a straight suit.
Unlike the seriousness of the traditional black suit, the navy blue slim-fitting suit added a gentlemanly aura to the man.
The man leaned against the door. With a gentle smile on his handsome face, he looked at her with his bright black eyes. Catherine graciously and casually replied, “Good morning!”
At the same time, she raised the car keys in her hand and waved them in front of the man. The clanking sound of keys colliding made the man laugh helplessly. His little girl had a stubborn nature!
The man suddenly stepped forward, reducing the distance between the two. The proximity allowed Catherine to feel the man’s breath. Catherine felt the warm breath on her face. Catherine’s heart skipped and beat irregularly as she tingled.
The man seemed to lower his voice intentionally. His hoarse voice appeared more and more seductive at the moment. “Kathy, I asked Paxton to prepare your favorite pancake. Are you sure you don’t want to have some?”
“Breakfast is the foundation of the day, isn’t it? Kathy…” Branden elongated the last syllable deliberately, which made the original simple word sound ambiguous.
Catherine grunted subconsciously. ” Mmm!”
The man’s eyes lit up. His raised eyes had betrayed his thinking. He looked at Catherine dotingly and said softly, “Good girl, Kathy. Let’s go!”
He took the bag off her and held her hand to pull her toward the stairs. A while later, Catherine finally reacted and cursed Branden countless times in her heart.
“He’s such a bastard. He has excellent hearing, and he eavesdropped on my conversation with Audrey.
“The point is, he also seduces me with his handsome looks!
“He’s good at flirting with me now. I’ve been tricked by him, and it’s too late to say ‘no’ now. “It looks like I won’t be able to escape from him.
“He’s so charming!”
Looking at the little girl sitting in the car eating pancakes quietly with bulging cheeks, Branden’s mood improved greatly.
There was none of the cold and aloof look that Catherine usually had. There was even a little resentment at the corner of her eyes, which made her look cute and made Branden want to kiss her.
It was as if he had discovered something new. He was in a good mood after discovering another lovely side of Catherine!
It seemed that his decision to move there was not a bad one after all. When Catherine entered the classroom, she went to Ronin’s seat immediately. When she was eating the pancake, she thought it was tasty, but now, was a little salty. she felt it
“Ronin, is there any coffee?”
“Boss, is rose liqueur okay?” Ronin asked. Catherine reached out. Ronin poured the rose liqueur into a glass and handed it over to her.
Seeing that she was drinking it in a hurry, Ronin couldn’t help but ask, ‘ Boss, did you have breakfast today?”
Catherine answered casually, “I had some pancakes. It was a bit salty.”
She leaned back in her seat idly and lazily, drinking the rose liqueur Ronin gave. She did not notice the change in expression on his face.
Ronin’s face was filled with resentment throughout. The once cute and handsome face was now twisted. He couldn’t understand. Branden was the head of the Duncans.
He had such a huge business and had a lot of affairs to deal with every day. But he had the time to bring breakfast to his boss and took her to and fro from school in person. Ronin thought to himself, “Is he that idle?
“Doesn’t he need to deal with his business? “Will a man like him who doesn’t do his job ruin his family? Will he make Boss suffer in the future?”
The more Ronin thought about it, the more he felt that Branden was unreliable. He decided to spend some time investigating Branden thoroughly.
If Branden was found unreliable, Ronin would have to advise his boss to stay away from him, even at the risk of death.
Branden dropped off Catherine at school before rushing in his car to a meeting at the office. It was a half-hour drive from the Duncans’ to Audrey’s apartment at top speed.
Not only was this a waste of time, but there was also no way for him to get breakfast to Catherine in the best condition.
After a few tries, Branden decided to move to the neighborhood and live in the apartment across from hers. In this way, he saved time and maximized his time with Catherine. This enabled him to achieve two goals at one time..
Representatives from several partner companies were coming to his company today to discuss the renewal of their contracts. There was no way he could be late for it.
Shortly after the car started, Branden sneezed three times in a row. His whole face sank. He didn’t believe his strong body could catch a cold, and there was no reason for the sneezes.
He raised his eyes to the front coldly. Paxton, who was sitting in the driver’s seat, instantly felt a feeling of oppression from a mysterious force.
Paxton felt as if he was strangled. He expressed his innocence hastily. ” Sir, the car was cleaned yesterday.”
What he meant was, it was unlikely for Branden to sneeze because there was dust inside the car! After hesitating for several minutes, Paxton couldn’t hold himself back. ” Could it be that someone is scolding you right now?” he whispered slowly.
This was possible. No one dared to challenge Branden’s authority face to face, but it was possible to do it behind Branden’s back.
Branden’s face instantly sank. He looked terrifying. His cold eyes swept over Paxton, and the latter felt like he could die any time. Paxton shut his mouth obediently and dared not speak again.
He shut his mouth and focused on driving.
