Chapter 370 Meeting with Catherine
After receiving the contract from the Winfreds, Withal immediately contacted Catherine. Not all members of the base had the chance to contact Catherine. If Withal hadn’t come to Oceanvile on this mission, he wouldn’t have had the chance to contact Catherine.
Catherine planned to give herself a year’s vacation this time and had issued an order that no one should disturb her. She could only be contacted through absolutely secret single-line contact.
Withal only learned through Ronin that Catherine was also in Oceanvile. He couldn’t wait to call Catherine, waiting for her to connect.
Branden went to the branch office in Oceanvile, while Catherine was a bit bored at the hotel by herself.
Her phone rang. Looking at the special symbol after the unfamiliar phone number on her screen, Catherine knew who was looking for her and knew it must have been Ronin who gave her contact information to the caller.
If there was no important matter, Ronin would not have given her contact information to others. Catherine pressed the hands-free button and
casually threw the phone aside. A clear man’s voice came from the other end of the phone, sounding as if he was still a bit excited.
“Catherine, is that you?”
“Go ahead. What’s it?” Catherine asked simply. On the other end of the phone, after Withal confirmed that the person answering the call was Catherine, he became even more excited.
He was even more tense than when he was asked to negotiate alone in the armed opposition organization, and he could even hear his own heartbeat at that moment.
He hesitated for a while. He was nervous but worried about missing this great opportunity, so he mustered the courage to say, “Catherine, I’m also in Oceanvile. Can we meet up?”
Catherine knew that Withal was in Oceanvile because it was she who had arranged for him to be there. She naturally knew the situation.
Since they were in the same city, Catherine decided to agree to meet Withal.
“Okay.”
Hearing Catherine’s response, Withal froze for a moment. It took him a while before he came back to his senses and responded, “Ca- Catherine, you agreed?”
He stuttered when he spoke, and Catherine couldn’t help but laugh. ” Message me the time and address. I’m going to hang up if there’s nothing else!
Without hearing the other party’s response, Catherine hung up the phone. A beep came from the other end of the phone, followed by silence.
It took Withal a long time to react to the fact that Catherine had actually agreed to meet him and allowed the place and time to be set by him.
Catherine originally thought she would have to go out immediately. After all, Withal was always decisive and agile in his actions and didn’t like to procrastinate.
Unexpectedly, she only received Withal’s message after an hour. Branden would be back soon, and Catherine left a note on the cabinet before leaving to meet Withal.
With the help of the map’s instructions, Catherine found the address given by Withal. It was quite a remote place, so it would be hard to find without a map.
[Catherine, I’m at the second table on the left side of the door!]
Catherine walked through the door and sat down at the second table on the left.
There was a young boy sitting opposite her and he looked not much older than Catherine. He was wearing a black t- shirt, which stood in stark contrast to his fair, somewhat glowing skin.
His skin was not only particularly fair but also particularly transparent. His blue veins and blood vessels could be seen exceptionally clearly, indicating that he belonged to a gloomy boy who did not like to bask in the sun all year round.
Withal kept looking anxiously toward the door, but suddenly, a little girl sat opposite him. She had a good figure but was wearing a peaked cap, and Withal couldn’t see her full face. However, Withal was not interested in this girl. He said bluntly, “The seat is taken. Please leave!”
The reason why Withal said it bluntly and nonchalantly was because this was already the fifth girl who had taken the initiative to sit opposite him.
From the moment he arrived at this restaurant and sat down, he had been annoyed by girls sitting down and talking to him.
If it were a normal day, perhaps he would chat with them for the sake of their appearance. But today was his big day to meet Catherine, and he wouldn’t allow any slip-ups!
What if Catherine saw him chatting up with other girls and thought he didn’t respect her? He would be done for. Listening to Withal’s tone of cold rejection, Catherine wanted to laugh.
She lowered her voice and said, ” Hamza!”
Seeing that Catherine had no intention of leaving, Withal had originally prepared to drive her away, but before he could say anything, he heard Catherine call out his name.
Now, Withal completely froze. He was the head of the Withalist, nicknamed Withal, and those who knew him would call him Withal. His real name was Hamza Shelton, and this was the top-secret information of the base.
Currently, only Catherine knew about it.
Then, the girl must be Catherine, right?
He stared at Catherine in a daze, and after a long time, he exclaimed with uncertainty, “Catherine?”
“Mmm!” Catherine nodded slightly.
Withal had only been in contact with her online before and had not seen her before. Catherine knew the information about everyone on the base.
As long as she had taken a look at someone’s information, there was no one she couldn’t remember, so she knew Withal’s details very well.
Catherine was wearing a peaked cap, and Withal needed to slightly lower his head to see her appearance.
After quietly examining Catherine, he was shocked and couldn’t help but mutter inwardly, “Oh my god. Catherine is really amazing. Does she have the ability to make herself look youthful? She looks like an underaged girl. But the aura she emits is really amazing.”
If Catherine hadn’t looked too young, Withal wouldn’t have been so shocked.
After confirming Catherine’s identity, Withal scratched his head awkwardly and said, “Sorry, Catherine. I didn’t recognize you. You look too young and even younger than me, so I didn’t dare to think that you’re Catherine.”
Catherine’s expression was calm. Her whole body leaned back on the sofa, and her posture was very casual, exuding a cold and lazy atmosphere.
“You’re not wrong. I’m indeed a few years younger than you!”
“What? A few years younger than me?” Withal thought to himself secretly and swallowed the water he had just taken a sip.
Upon hearing Catherine’s words, he almost spat the water out of his mouth in surprise.
In order not to scare Catherine, he forced himself to swallow the water and almost choked himself to death. His face turned red!
Catherine was actually younger than him?
Catherine, who seemed to be omnipotent and even like a god, was actually a little girl a few years younger than him.
Seeing Withal being surprised, Catherine ignored him. She came out in a hurry and hadn’t eaten yet. Calling the waiter, she ordered a few dishes randomly.
After the dishes were ordered, Withal was still looking confused. Catherine reached out and tapped on the table.
“Hey, wake up!”
Her cold voice pulled Withal’s drifting thoughts back slowly. Withal was surprised to have such a gain from his visit to Oceanvile this time.
Not only did he meet Catherine, but he also knew so many secrets that a thrill ran through his heart.
“Catherine, you’re amazing!”
Catherine wasn’t there to listen to his flattery. She had things to do. “Has the matter with the Winfreds been resolved?”
Seeing Catherine speaking seriously, Withal immediately corrected his attitude. He took out the contract placed aside and placed it in front of Catherine.
“Catherine, this is the contract signed by the Winfreds. Please take a look!”
