Chapter 708 Coffee Beans
When Catherine came out of the lab, she received a call from Audrey.
âWait a moment. Iâm coming right away!â At the school gate, Catherine saw Audrey. In just a few days, Audrey had lost weight.
âDo you need something from me?â Despite facing her sister, Catherineâs attitude was still chilly, and she spoke without warmth.
Audrey had long been accustomed to her sister, who seemed cold on the outside but actually valued the people she cared about more than anything.
âKathy, are you getting used to being at Styre University?â Audrey looked at Catherine, feeling she was not doing a responsible job as an older sister. Instead of taking care of her sister, she often caused trouble for Catherine.
Without Catherine stepping in this time, she wouldnât have made it through unscathed. Catherine not only helped her restore her reputation but also increased her popularity.
Now, calls for business were flooding in from Kim, and her external quotes kept rising. However, she wasnât in a hurry to work. She could never earn enough money and wanted to take a break.
âKathy, I plan to go on a trip for a while. Iâve been busy lately, working non-stop. I want to take advantage of this reason to relax and unwind on a trip,â said Audrey.
âSure.â Catherine nodded slightly, agreeing with Audreyâs decision.
Audrey reached out to touch her but suddenly remembered that Catherine didnât like being touched, so she lowered her raised hand. âI donât have anything specific to discuss; I just wanted to see you before heading out. Take care of yourself at school. Iâll come back once Iâve had my fun.â
Unusually, Catherine didnât show impatience. âOkay.â
In her view, it was good that Audrey wanted to take a break. With Shane keeping watch in Loxton recently, the people around her wouldnât be too peaceful. Audreyâs leaving would reduce her concerns.
âI wonât disturb your studies. Iâll go now.â Audrey turned and left gracefully.
Catherine stood in place, watching her leave. She didnât ask about Audreyâs development with Triston. She had made it clear earlier. She wouldnât interfere in Audreyâs love matters.
Once Audrey completely disappeared, Catherine prepared to return to school.
The buzzing sound of her phone came from her pocket. Catherine took out her phone, looked at it, and silently sneered. She thought she had been quite busy today.
A few minutes later, Catherine knocked on Marshallâs office door.
âCome in!â said Marshall.
Seeing Catherine enter, Marshall got up and poured her a cup of coffee. âThis is something good from Mr. Farrell. Try it.
He used the coffee beans he hadnât been willing to drink himself and made a cup for Catherine as soon as she came.
He always valued his students more than his own children, especially this newest one.
Catherine took a sip. The coffee tasted good, and she took another sip.
Seeing that Catherine liked it, Marshall felt pleased. âIf you like it, you can take the whole can later.â
If Winston passed by at this time, he would definitely stand at the door and curse at Marshall. Marshall hadnât agreed to give him a cup of this coffee when he asked for it. Now, he generously gave all the coffee beans to Catherine. This old scholar was really biased.
âNo need, Professor Hartley. If you like coffee, Iâll have Branden bring some,â said Catherine.
Karl also liked coffee, and the Duncans had many good coffee beans.
Sometimes, Branden would proactively buy some high-quality coffee, and there were quite a few of this quality in their apartment.
Upon hearing this, Marshall suddenly smiled. âNo need. Itâs enough that you have this intention.â
With her usually cold temperament, Catherine found it redundant even to glance at strangers. The fact that she thought of bringing him coffee showed that she sincerely regarded him as a teacher and a mentor.
Marshall felt happy in his heart. This student of his cared about him. âLetâs get to the point. I called you here to discuss something.â
Marshall knew Catherineâs nature of not liking to stand out. He wouldnât have asked if anyone else had that opportunity, but Catherine was different.
