Chapter 92

After the walk, Triston suggested going for round two. Unfortunately, Audrey had a shoot arranged for the day after, so she declined Triston’s offer.

The group disbanded, and Catherine was responsible for sending Audrey home.

As he watched the Swann sisters leave, Triston felt confused and asked, “Mr. Duncan, this was a great chance to be a gentleman. Why did you let it go?”

Triston had offered to send the two home with his car earlier but was declined by Catherine.

Catherine declined his offer, but Branden also refused the idea.

When Triston witnessed Branden declaring his ownership the last time, he had thought Branden to be someone who knew their way to a woman’s heart.

Why, then, was he so romantically oblivious today?

Branden had heard him. He turned around and threw him an interesting look. Although he didn’t say anything, Triston understood what he meant with that look.

“You know nothing!”

That’s what it meant.

Was Branden looking down on him?

Catherine sent Audrey home. Audrey’s phone in her pocket vibrated throughout the entire journey. She didn’t need to check her phone to know who was trying to reach her.

Kim survived many years in the entertainment industry without any background based on one sole quality-persistence. He always felt that Audrey had potential. However, she was from at wealthy family and didn’t take things seriously.

Audrey was the least popular celebrity under Kim. She had been with Kim for many years but had yet to make a name for herself. The fault was primarily her own.

Now that Audrey finally decided to start focusing on her career, there was no way that Kim would let her off easy.

Audrey felt her stomach cramp up and lost her focus momentarily. This wouldn’t have happened if she did not go into the water earlier today.

In order to enjoy being treated by others decently in the entertainment industry, one must be of high status.

It wasn’t long before they would arrive at Audrey’s apartment. After some internal struggle, Audrey decided make the request again. That way, she would be able to tell herself that she had tried her best even if she ends up being rejected.

“Kathy, can I trouble you with something?”

Catherine looked up at her without any expression on her listless face.

That made it difficult for Audrey to make her request. After taking a few deep breaths, she chose to make her request. “Kathy, can you go on that reality show with me? They require a family member to attend with the participant They could be the participant’s sibling or parent. The shoots only happen on weekends, so your studies won’t be affected. Can you please go with me?”

Catherine didn’t enjoy media exposure at all. She felt that this matter would be incredibly irritating.

However, when she saw Audrey’s teary puppy eyes staring at her, she was suddenly unable to voice her rejection. She looked down. With a hint of resignation, she replied slowly. and softly. “Sure!”

Audrey had thought Catherine would reject her. She was just about to give Catherine words of comfort she had prepared. She didn’t want Catherine to feel guilty for turning her down.

She didn’t expect Catherine to agree!

Audrey was briefly stunned. When she registered what had happened, she looked at Catherine with a brilliant smile.

“Kathy, you’ve agreed? That’s great! Thank you so much. I really mean it.”

When Catherine saw Audrey’s eyes filled with happiness, the last shred of resistance in her heart melted away.

“Yes. Go back home now. I’m leaving!”

Catherine drove off before Audrey could recover from her elation.

The next day, Catherine went to school as usual.

Ever since Bryan played with Catherine last time, he had always wanted to play with Catherine again.

As far as they’re concerned, they’d be invincible as long as they had Catherine with them!

Catherine was the strongest leader!

The crowd abetted Bryan to invite Catherine. After all, Catherine only attended that birthday party for the sake of Bryan.

Bryan wanted to play with her too, so he braced himself and approached Catherine.

He scratched his head and looked at Catherine with an awkward and expectant expression.

“Boss, can I make a request?”

Catherine was feeling a bit lethargic. She opened her tired eyes and looked at him with a raised brow.

Bryan understood that meant he had permission to continue.

He made his request hurriedly and excitedly, “Boss, can you join us for a few rounds over the weekend? You can pick any place of your liking as long as you join us for a gane or two.”

Bryan already imagined the epic scenario of Catherine leading their charge.

“It feels awesome to play with you. Even if we’re not playing, just watching you play is an enjoyment!”

After hearing Bryan’s request, Catherine answered without even looking up at him, “I can’t!”

“Why not?”

Bryan asked before he could stop himself. His brows were locked tightly together.

“I’m busy!”

The simple yet unfeeling words killed Bryan’s enthusiasm completely. He was devastated.

However, he only remained in that state for a few minutes.

A few minutes later, Bryan was back to his old self..

Noticing that Catherine had fallen asleep, Bryan left as he did not dare to disturb her.

Friday arrived in the blink of an eye.

Since the variety show started from inside the participants’ homes, Catherine moved into Audrey’s house the night before.

Audrey called Korbin personally to update him. However, Korbin didn’t care about such things at all.

The only thing he was concerned with was having Catherine sign the transfer form three months later.

Catherine arrived at Audrey’s house rather late in the night. By the time she entered the house, all the equipment had already been set up. The show would start as soon as the crew arrive the next morning.

Audrey was overjoyed to see Catherine arrive on time.

However, she frowned slightly upon seeing Catherine’s luggage. It consisted of a single small backpack.

“Kathy, why did you bring so few items?”

Catherine looked at her calmly and replied calmly, “It’s just two days, isn’t it?”

After replying, Catherine’s eyes fell on two huge suitcases. The contents had been packed, but the suitcases were still open. She could see that the two suitcases were both filled to the brim.

Noticing where Catherine was looking, Audrey gave an awkward laugh. “Comparatively speaking, I did pack a little too much. I was worried about accidents, so I packed a comprehensive list of items.”

Despite saying so, Audrey started removing items from her luggage.

She was doing so because she noticed Catherine’s frown, which meant that Catherine didn’t like the amount of luggage she was bringing.

Eventually, after reluctantly discarding a plethora of items, she managed to reduce the number of suitcases to one. Only then did Catherine’s frown disappear.

Audrey finally felt relieved too. She was the one that asked Catherine for help, so she had to be mindful of how Catherine felt. She wouldn’t do anything that Catherine didn’t like! After all, she was an obedient sister. She wasn’t acting according to Catherine’s wishes because she was scared. No way.
