Chapter 182: Chapter 182

Chapter 182 She’s Very Important to Me The two-day program recording quickly passed by. Since each guest had their own chauffeur-driven car, the program team didn’t arrange transportation for them to go back.

However, this arrangement didn’t apply to Audrey, who used to be a relatively unknown actress but had gained a bit of fame recently. The company hadn’t gotten around to assigning a chauffeur-driven car for her yet.

“Kathy, wait a moment. Kim said he couldn’t come to pick us up, so I’ll call a taxi right away!” Audrey said. Just after she finished speaking, a black Mercedes chauffeur-driven car appeared in front of them.

When Audrey wondered who could be coming to pick them up, the car door opened, revealing the handsome face of Grayson.

With a friendly smile on his face, Grayson looked at Catherine affectionately and said, “Catherine, get in the car. I’ll take you home!”

Catherine glanced at Audrey. Audrey understood that Catherine was seeking her opinion. Despite Catherine’s usual cold demeanor, she was actually very considerate of people’s feelings.

“Sure. It’s best to have a free ride. Let’s go, Kathy. Let’s get in the car!” Audrey said. Just when they were about to get in the car, they heard a honking sound.

A black Maybach slowly approached the two of them. When the car stopped, two handsome men with completely different temperaments got out of the car. Branden walked straight towards Catherine and stopped in front of her, extending his hand in the air, waiting for her.

Catherine took off the bag on her back and casually threw it into the man’s hand as if she had practiced the motion a thousand times.

After Branden took Catherine’s bag, he subconsciously felt an intimidating gaze on him. He turned his head and looked at the nearby chauffeur-driven car. Then, he met Grayson’s intimidating eyes.

Grayson doubted if there was something wrong with his eyes. He was dumbfounded when he saw Catherine getting so close to a man, and more importantly, Catherine willingly threw her bag into the man’s hand. This was impossible!

Triston came as well. When he heard Branden was going to pick up Catherine, he decided to come along with him.

“Catherine, it’s been a few days. Do you miss me?” Triston said with a mischievous tone. Hearing his inappropriate words, both Catherine and Branden rolled their at the same time. eyes Triston was so scared that he felt a chill down his spine. He was on the verge of kneeling down and quickly closed his mouth.

After that, Branden’s eyes turned towards Catherine. His originally sharp and cold eyes softened instantly when they fell upon Catherine.

“Shall we go?”

Catherine nodded slightly but noticed that Audrey had been silent for a while. She turned her head to look at Audrey and noticed that something was off.

“Aren’t you coming?” Catherine asked casually. Unexpectedly, Audrey’s reaction was extreme. Her expression suddenly changed as she said, “Kathy, I just remembered that I have something to do. I’ll go back and talk to the director about it. You guys go ahead!”

She emphasized again, “Don’t wait for me. I’m serious!”

Without waiting for Catherine’s response, Audrey dragged her luggage and left, leaving everyone confused and speechless.

Triston looked at Audrey’s fleeing figure and said, “Catherine, what’s wrong with your sister? Even if she has something to discuss with the production team, it’s normal for us to wait for a while. It’s not easy to get a taxi in this remote area.”

Audrey’s behavior was indeed weird, and Catherine could tell from her expression and eyes just now. It didn’t seem like Audrey had encountered any problems, but she was obviously avoiding something.

But in Catherine’s view, this was Audrey’s private matter. Since she didn’t want to talk about it, Catherine wouldn’t ask. If Audrey didn’t want to go with them, they didn’t have to wait for her.

“Let’s go!” Catherine said.

Then, Branden and Catherine got into the car. Triston, afraid of being left behind in this desolate place, immediately caught up and said, “Wait for me!” He knew very well about his current status. He was a dispensable guy. If he didn’t keep up, he could be abandoned at any time. In that case, he had to go home alone.

Grayson’s gaze was full of grievances as Catherine left.

“Damn it,” he cursed inwardly. “Boss was taken away by a stranger. She didn’t get in my car!”

The manager beside him had never seen Grayson care so much about a woman before. Moreover, Grayson’s reactions since coming to this program were completely different from his previous behavior, which was completely surprising.

Knowing that Grayson had a bad temper, as a manager, he still needed to understand the situation.

“Grayson, is Catherine really that important to you?” the manager asked.

When Grayson heard the question, he turned his head. His previously pitiful eyes instantly darkened, and his facial expression became extremely serious.

“Ellis, just remember that Catherine is the person I’m willing to sacrifice everything for. Please don’t question her importance to me, and don’t even think about making a move on her. Because neither you nor I can afford the consequences!”

Grayson’s response made Ellis’s face darken. It was the first time he had seen Grayson introduce someone so seriously. In the entertainment industry, Ellis was considered a top- notch manager, and besides Grayson, he had many A-list celebrities under his management. But this was the first time Grayson had spoken to him like this, which piqued his curiosity.

“Is she really that important?” Ellis asked.

Grayson nodded with a serious expression. “I’m serious!”

Seeing his seriousness, Ellis had to drop the subject. As long as Grayson didn’t have any intentions of developing a romantic relationship with Catherine, Ellis didn’t really care about anything else.

Grayson was still on the rise now. He had countless fans. If he were to have a romantic relationship at this moment, it would be fatal.

After getting in the car, Catherine lazily leaned against the back seat and rested with her eyes closed throughout the journey.

Feeling the silence in the car for a long time, Triston started to feel bored. He cleared his throat before speaking.

“Catherine, I’ve been so bored lately. How about I throw a party tomorrow and we can hang out together?”

Triston now knew that the fastest way to invite Branden out was through Catherine. Only she could effortlessly get Branden, the big shot, to hang out. Hearing his voice, Catherine tiredly raised her head and rejected, saying, No.”

She just said one simple word, which was quick and decisive! Before Triston could persistently plead, Branden, who was sitting beside him, closed his laptop and turned his head to look at Catherine.

“Do you have plans for tomorrow night?

The Duncans’ affairs were complicated, and he had only recently taken over as the family head. Many things were waiting for him to handle. He had to make time if he wanted to see Catherine.

Catherine casually replied, “Tomorrow is my grandmother’s seventieth birthday. I need to go to see her.”

Branden nodded slightly and then asked, “Should I come along?”
