Chapter 542 I Like It This Way
Corey’s sarcastic remarks didn’t bother Catherine at all. She didn’t need to do anything because her classmates quickly shut Corey down with their comments, leaving him with no courage to stay. He slinked away in embarrassment, which was what he deserved for being so mean.
Dylan found that Catherine was leaning against the side, resting. He intentionally coughed twice to wake her up.
Catherine opened her eyes, slightly squinting at him, which scared Dylan out of his wits. If it weren’t for the students around them, he would have apologized to her right away for disturbing her rest.
Dylan lowered his voice and explained, “Ms. Swann, someone is looking for you in the office.”
Catherine frowned and glanced at him. It was a very indifferent look, but it made Dylan’s heart skip a beat.
“It has nothing to do with me. It’s a command. I don’t even know who gave it to me!”
Catherine knew that Dylan wouldn’t dare to lie to her. The fact that the other party could come to this military camp to find her indicated that they had a lot of influence.
Catherine didn’t intend to make things difficult for Dylan. She got up, patted her thighs, and said casually to him, ” Lead the way!”
Seeing that Catherine finally agreed to go, Dylan silently breathed a sigh of relief. It felt like surviving a disaster.
There was a five to six-minute walk from the training field to the office. Catherine walked with Dylan under the scorching sun until they reached the office door.
Standing outside the door, Dylan stopped in his tracks. “Ms. Swann, you can go in by yourself. I have to go back to the training field!” He was instructed to leave once he brought her here.
“Sure!” Catherine responded in a muffled voice and took a step toward the office. She wanted to see who this mysterious person was.
The curtains in the office were drawn, so it was dim inside. Catherine casually walked in and suddenly felt an aura behind her. She immediately turned around, but a dark figure instantly approached her. She couldn’t dodge in time and was pressed down.
With a soft click, the office door closed. At the same time, she was pinned against the door.
“Aren’t you resisting?”
Branden’s deep voice echoed softly in Catherine’s ear. His warm breath sprayed onto her cheeks, tickling her pores.
In the dim light, a mischievous smile appeared on Catherine’s face.
Branden’s voice was low, but hers was even lower.
“Resisting? Such a good-looking man is standing in front of me. Why do I need to resist?”
“Humph.” Branden chuckled, his voice as enchanting as music playing from a gramophone.
In the next moment, Catherine spun around and pressed Branden against the door. She extended her finger and lifted his chin, forcing him to raise his head. Her posture was dominant yet alluring, exuding a sense of ambiguity.
She slightly lowered her head and blew a breath onto Branden’s nose, lowering her voice as she softly said, “I like it this way!”
After speaking, she pressed her warm lips tightly against Branden’s.
The impact of this kiss was as powerful as a meteor striking the earth. If it weren’t for Branden’s strong willpower, Catherine would probably not be able to walk out of this room today.
Considering that Catherine was still in physical training, Branden only kissed her a few times before stopping.
Catherine comfortably fell into Branden’s embrace, allowing him to hold her as he pleased.
“Why did you come here today?”
“Because I missed you!”
Branden’s answer was concise, but his purpose was clear. There was no particular reason. It was just because he missed her. He came regardless of everything, just wanting to see her.
Like an ordinary conversation between a married couple, Catherine stayed in Branden’s arms, talking with him about the most ordinary things.
“The food at school is not bad, and I’m getting used to it. The food at the military camp is also good, similar to the taste in Casier.”
Branden looked at Catherine’s beautiful face, his eyes full of affection, He gently caressed her hair.
“That’s good!”
What Catherine didn’t know was that the food in Styre University cafeteria used to be average. The recent improvement in the food was because Branden had managed to change the chefs in advance.
The former chefs of a five-star hotel now worked in the kitchen of Styre University cafeteria.
The reason the food in the military camp tasted similar to that in Casier was that the chefs in the camp were personally arranged by Branden from Catherine’s favorite restaurant.
Branden did everything he could for her, but she had no idea about any of it. However, he didn’t need Catherine to know. His purpose was simple-to make sure she was happy.
The physical training continued, and Catherine had no intention of standing out.
Branden had many things waiting for him to handle at his company. Therefore, they only spent an hour together before parting ways.
Before saying goodbye, Branden reached out and caressed Catherine’s soft hair, his eyes filled with reluctance.
“After the physical training ends, I’ll come pick you up!”
After the physical training, the school would give the students two days to relax.
Catherine, rarely obedient, nodded. ” Okay!”
With a gentle kiss on her forehead, they separated once again, each busy with their own tasks.
After two days of practical training, the school planned to hold a “Military Training Games,” where the training exercises would be turned into competitive events.
Each class would have 10 events, with at least 10 athletes participating. Catherine had no interest in any of this and hardly participated in it.
After seeing Catherine’s performance in class, the temporary president of the EIE Classmates Union, Sophia Miller, silently gave up on her and didn’t even ask her to sign up.
After all, why would she ask someone who scored zero in shooting to participate? Why would she do such a foolish thing?
In the afternoon, when the registration results were announced, the EIE class was in an uproar.
Amelia was the first to ask Catherine. She looked at Catherine in disbelief.
“Kathy, you’re incredible! You signed up for five events, including shooting! Are you sure?”
Not only Amelia but also the entire EIE class students had their eyes on Catherine.
Catherine was momentarily confused, looking at Amelia with a puzzled expression.
“What did you say?”
