Chapter 211 Talented
Catherine sat in the car with Branden, and Triston, who had originally planned to follow them, silently watched as the car departed. He looked at Audrey and said, “Hey, Audrey, give me a ride, will you?”
Audrey avoided eye contact, kept her head down, and didn’t even look at Triston. Her voice was firm as she said, “I’m not going your way!”
After saying that, she quickly left, pulling Kim along. Watching Audrey’s fleeing figure, Triston stood alone in the wind, feeling confused. Was it because he was not attractive enough or something? Why did girls ignore him like this?
After pondering for a while, Triston turned to Zachary, who was waiting nearby.
“You’re not going my way either?”
Zachary was just worried that he wouldn’t have a chance to explain this matter to Triston, but now that Triston was giving him the opportunity, he was grateful. “How could that be, Mr. Lambert? I’m always going your way! Just wait a moment. I’ll be right back!”
In every social circle, there were hierarchies. Zachary was respected in Aaron’s circle, but in Triston’s circle, he had to swallow his pride. Different circles meant different levels and positions.
The night was charming, and the evening breeze gently stirred the hearts of those who felt it. Catherine leaned against the car window, calmly gazing outside.
Beside her was Branden, whose cold eyes were fixed on her the whole time. He recalled the look in Catherine’s eyes. when she broke Aaron’s leg. At that moment, he understood that Catherine and he were the same kind of person. He was glad that people like them could find each other. It was destiny!
“Can I close the window?” he asked. Hearing his voice, Catherine turned her head and met his sparkling eyes. Before she could respond, Branden pressed the button and closed the window.
Catherine noticed that he was becoming more and more natural in taking care of her, even managing something as simple as closing a car window.
Seeing her pouting in dissatisfaction, Branden found her extremely adorable. Without her noticing, he pulled out a candy from the drawer beside him and placed it into her mouth.
The action came too suddenly, and Catherine hadn’t even had time to react when she instinctively stuck out her tongue and licked it. Did he treat her like a child?
Branden, who had originally intended to retract his hand, froze at that moment. Her soft and warm tongue, like a seductive hook, tightly entangled his hand. Originally, he just wanted to feed her the candy, but now, he had another plan.
His slender fingers gently moved, gliding over her rosy lips, while his other hand held her head and forcefully pulled her towards him. His cold lips pressed tightly against Catherine’s.
The sweetness of the candy, which had been just right, now seemed a bit excessive. Although separated by a partition, Paxton could still sense what was happening in the back seat through the change in atmosphere. His only relief now was that he had raised the partition in advance, avoiding embarrassment and preventing his boss from punishing him.
From now on, he had to be even more careful, raising the partition every time he got in the car. Otherwise, he was afraid that one day he would be fired.
The next day, as soon as Catherine arrived at school, she was surrounded by Bryan and Ronin. She frowned, crossed her arms, and scrutinized the two of them. Ronin said “Boss Iheard you taught Aaron a lesson last night. Really?”
He was not shocked that Catherine broke Aaron’s leg but rather that she had done it herself. Aaron must have really deserved it. Otherwise, Catherine wouldn’t personally take action.
Bryan had also heard about it. The news had spread in their circle last night. They said Aaron had offended the Duncans, and they broke his leg. Bryan didn’t know who had done it until he opened the video and recognized Catherine.
That was the moment Bryan realized how gentle Catherine was towards them in her daily life. Initially, he was worried that the Blatons would cause trouble for Catherine, but when he saw his uncle appear, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Catherine casually nodded and twisted her neck. Playing too many games recently had caused her cervical spine to feel numb.
Seeing Catherine nod, Ronin felt even more heartbroken. It annoyed him that it wasn’t him by Catherine’s side last night, but that idiot Joseph. If it had been him, he would have kicked Aaron’s balls.
“How dare that idiot offend Boss?” Ronin murmured. “He asked for it!”
Breaking a leg was not enough. In Ronin’s opinion, it would be better to break Aaron’s four limbs, disable his ability to speak, and throw him in the streets to beg for money!
Seeing the gossip-filled expressions on their faces, Catherine quickly changed the subject, not wanting to delve deeper into the matter. She was not in the mood to answer such questions.
“How did the song you prepared go?”
Confidently, Ronin blinked at Catherine and said, “Boss, don’t you trust me?”
Catherine glanced at him, staying silent. Since Bryan appeared, Ronin had been feeling a sense of crisis, always trying to show off whenever he had the chance.
Catherine turned her head and looked at Bryan. Realizing the question was directed at him, Bryan quickly answered, “Boss, don’t worry. Everything’s fine!”
“Good!” Catherine nodded. “Rehearse once at noon, and if everything goes well, we’ll wait for the competition!”
“Okay!” they both said in unison, very confident. Soon, it was noon. Bryan followed Catherine to the empty space where the large container truck was still there.
With everything ready, the three of them began their first rehearsal. Ronin brought a chair for Catherine and placed it in the middle of the empty space.
Catherine sat down. Wearing pitch- black sunglasses, she leaned back on the chair, exuding an air of dominance. Bryan turned his head and whispered to Ronin, “Isn’t Boss rehearsing with us?”
Ronin understood what he meant and gave him a disdainful look. “Don’t worry. As long as you and I pass the rehearsal, everything will be fine!”
With Catherine’s musical talent, she could easily win the championship. Rehearsing was meaningless to her. Seeing Ronin’s confident expression, Bryan didn’t know what to say. “Is Boss really that amazing?” he wondered. He knew Catherine was invincible in terms of strength and gaming, but he didn’t expect her to be so talented in music as well. She was truly impressive!
The two of them began to play and sing, but after only half a verse, Catherine raised her hand. They immediately stopped, looking at Catherine in confusion.
Catherine slightly raised her chin, her prominent nose facing the sunlight, her eyes peeking through the gap in her sunglasses.
Her voice was cold and low, devoid of emotion, as she said, “Bryan, your fifth bar in the first section is not good enough. Practice it a few more times and play it again.”
Bryan was shocked. He had made a slight mistake just now, one that he himself might not have noticed. But Catherine could accurately point it out, which was unbelievable!
No wonder Ronin said there was no need to worry about Catherine. With her ability, what was there to worry about?
