Chapter 204 Catherine’s Driving Skills
As soon as Audrey saw Catherine, her tired face immediately lit up with a sweet smile.
“Kathy, you’re here! I just finished my work,” Audrey exclaimed excitedly. As everyone heard Audrey’s excited voice, they all turned in the direction of her shouts.
At the doorway not too far away, a slender black figure stood silhouetted against the backlight. The golden sunlight framed her from behind, making her appear radiant. She sported a black peaked cap, which barely revealed her petite face.
If it weren’t for the momentary glimpse of her beauty when she raised her head in response to Audrey’s call, no one would have guessed she was so beautiful. Since Catherine had appeared on a show with Audrey, some people recognized Catherine and began discussing in a low voice.
“Oh, my God. She’s Audrey’s sister, Catherine. She looks even better in person. I thought it was just some video filter trick, but she’s genuinely gorgeous!”
“Yeah. We all worked in the same industry and you know how it is with all this talk about natural look with no makeup and filters. But I never imagined Audrey’s sister would be this stunning even without makeup on.”
“She’s so beautiful, and her skin looks amazing.”Amidst the chatter, Audrey packed up her things and rushed over to Catherine. Kim followed her closely.
Kim’s eyes always lit up when he saw Catherine, but he quickly restrained himself. He didn’t want to be too bold. In his mind, if Catherine ever decides to enter the entertainment world, she could easily become the next big star with just a little push.
With such a lucrative opportunity right in front of him, Kim couldn’t help but feel excited. However, Catherine’s presence was commanding, even to someone like Kim, a seasoned figure in the entertainment industry.
Kim was a master at adapting to different situations. But when he stands before Catherine, he has to be cautious. Catherine gave Kim a brief look, and she understood that he had something to say. So she nodded in acknowledgment.
Kim immediately understood and cautiously said, “It’s not a big deal, but your sister has to work early tomorrow. You should keep an eye on her tonight. No alcohol, and be careful with the barbecue food. Or else she might wake up puffy. It won’t look good on camera tomorrow.”
Audrey was irritated and glared at Kim. “Kim, I’ve been working non-stop for over a month. Can’t you let me indulge for one night?”
“If it weren’t for your relentless dedication, do you think I’d allow to go for a barbecue? You’ll still be eating garden salad every day,” Kim sneered dismissively. you Catherine crossed her arms and leaned against the wall. She found their banter quite amusing.
After Kim finished speaking, Catherine spoke up calmly. “Why don’t you come and oversee her yourself?”
Kim was momentarily taken aback by Catherine’s suggestion. He hadn’t expected Catherine to invite him. In his perception, Catherine wasn’t one to engage with outsiders easily. It was rare for others to get close to her as she exuded a cold and noble aura that commanded respect.
As Audrey noticed that Kim was still in a daze, she gave his shoulder a light pat and chuckled. Then she asked, “What are you waiting for? Let’s go.”
Kim followed Audrey closely. After closing some distance, he whispered, ” Is your sister just being polite?”
Audrey shot him a sidelong glance with disdain. She replied, “You think too much. ‘Does my sister need to be polite?”
After saying this, Audrey intentionally picked up her pace and distanced herself from Kim. She had always felt that Kim’s intelligence would diminish whenever he stood before Catherine. Audrey didn’t want to associate with him.
Kim understood what Audrey was thinking about. Kim was greatly displeased with Audrey’s arrogance and disdain. He stared at Audrey’s retreating figure and pounded his chest in frustration. He murmured, “Well. What’s so great about having a sister?”
The fact is, having a sister like Catherine was indeed great. Audrey initially thought Catherine would be coming on her motorcycle, as that was Catherine’s usual mode of transportation for commuting to school.
She had planned for just the two of them but with Kim joining, there wouldn’t be enough space.
Audrey had intended for Catherine to ride with Kim in his car. But to her surprise, Catherine had driven an older model Mercedes. Audrey was a bit shocked as she saw Catherine’s Mercedes. “Kathy, you have a driver’s license?”
Catherine nodded. “Yes. Get in.”
Audrey opened the car door and got in with Kim. Audrey knew Catherine’s personality well. As such, she had chosen a restaurant and mapped out the route. She opened her phone’s navigation app and handed it to Catherine.
“Kathy, I’ve made reservations at the restaurant. Just follow the directions and drive there. We’ll be eating in no time!”
Catherine wore a sweet smile on her beautiful face. Catherine thought to herself, “Audrey is indeed thoughtful and attentive.”
Catherine glanced at the navigation map on the phone in Audrey’s hand. And she didn’t take Audrey’s phone from her. Audrey raised an eyebrow in confusion. “Kathy, you don’t need the navigator?”
“Nope,” Catherine replied softly. Kim couldn’t resist chiming in, “Well. Catherine knows this place like the back of her hand. A seasoned driver like her doesn’t need the navigator for directions. Not everyone is as clueless as you.”
Faced with her manager’s sarcastic remark, Audrey was visibly irked. “You have no idea. Kathy isn’t familiar with this place. She’s amazing. She can look at a map once and remember all the routes. She can even choose the best ones.”
Kim had wanted to argue with Audrey. Afterall, such a skill was beyond what normal humans could comprehend. He was about to speak up. However, he remembered Catherine’s incredible performance in the amusement park during the last show. Then he remained silent.
He could be sarcastic with ordinary people without any issue. But when faced with someone like Catherine, who surpassed normal human abilities, Kim felt it was better to remain quiet and obedient.
Just as Audrey had mentioned, Catherine could find the best route and reach their destination in the shortest time without needing to rely on the navigator.
As they got out of the car, Audrey couldn’t help but praise Catherine. She said, “Kathy, you’re skilled at driving. It’s the first time I’ve been able to fall asleep in a car. You drive so smoothly.”
Catherine smiled faintly and remained silent. Audrey had reserved a spot at a popular barbecue restaurant. Despite the bustling atmosphere, there was no need for them to wait in line and they were seated right away.
As they settled into their seats, Audrey sensed that there were incessant noises from their surroundings. She felt a bit guilty as she looked at Catherine.
“Kathy, I could only get a table in the central area. The private rooms were fully booked three months ago.”
This barbecue restaurant garnered a lot of attention recently. Being able to secure a reservation was quite an achievement for Audrey.
However, for Catherine, these details didn’t matter. As long as the food was good, it was fine. With a composed expression, Catherine responded in a soft voice, “It’s okay, as long as the food is delicious.”
As Catherine got up to visit the restroom, Kim leaned in close to Audrey and whispered, “Is your sister always this cold toward you?”
As Kim saw Catherine’s demeanor earlier, he almost froze in place and he couldn’t help but admire Audrey’s courage.
Audrey kept approaching Catherine without any fear. In Kim’s eyes, Audrey was impressive for having such courage. Audrey glanced at Kim with confusion. She frowned and asked, “Cold? She seemed quite warm to me.”
Audrey thought, “Catherine responded to me. Wasn’t that considered warm enough?”
Kim wiped a bead of sweat from his forehead in silence. The sisters from the Swanns were not ordinary people. Kim had finally come to realize that.
