All Her Secrets

This was probably the first time Branden had ever been rejected in his life.

It was also the first time he had taken the initiative and been rejected.

However, Branden wasn’t upset at all. Instead, a faint, mischievous smile played on his thin lips as he spoke.

“Give me a reason!”

Just like last time with Catherine at the Charm Bar, he wanted an explanation.

He would let Catherine go if she could convince him.

Catherine raised an eyebrow, her attitude indifferent, her eyes carrying a hint of coldness and rebelliousness. At this moment, she exuded a wild and arrogant aura.

“I do what I want!”

She never needed to justify her actions, no matter who she was with.

A sense of rebellion and untamed spirit emanated from her entire being, which was remarkable to witness.

After a few seconds of silence, Branden chuckled.

“Let me take you back home!” he said. NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

Catherine knew that this man was up to something.

Perhaps he knew from the beginning that she wouldn’t agree to have dinner with him, so he intended to give her a ride back home.

Catherine glanced at him and then walked straight toward his car.

Paxton saw her approaching and instinctively bent down respectfully to open the car door for her.

As he opened the car door, Paxton realized he had done so subconsciously.

For some reason, Catherine had an aura that commanded respect from people, making them. treat her with reverence instinctively.

Bryan didn’t even catch a glimpse of Catherine as he rushed out of school.

All he saw was a top-of-the-line Maybach driving past him. Glancing at the back of the car, wished he could be the owner.

Sincere High School was a renowned private school for the wealthy in Casier, so it was not uncommon to see several luxury cars like the Maybach there.

What caught Bryan’s attention wasn’t the luxury car itself but the high-level license plate on the vehicle.

Bryan stared at the car for a few seconds, unable to comprehend why someone who could afford such a luxury vehicle would be there.

On the other hand, Catherine was in the car with Branden.

After getting into the car, Catherine remained motionless, lazily gazing out of the window.

Branden, too, remained silent. He had his laptop with him and worked throughout the journey. He didn’t even spare a glance at Catherine, as if he had come to the school solely to pick her up and take her home.

Even Paxton couldn’t understand such behavior.

He thought his boss had come a long way to say something to Catherine. He didn’t expect it to be a ride back home.

Paxton didn’t know what was happening, and he didn’t dare to ask.

After finishing his work, Brandon closed his laptop and turned to look at Catherine beside him.

Catherine leaned against the window and closed her eyes, seemingly at rest.

Her fair complexion made her stand out in a crowd, and her skin had a radiant and flawless quality.

The slanting sunlight cast a gentle halo on her body, revealing her long and thick eyelashes as her eyes remained shut. Her delicate facial features made her look almost too beautiful to be real.

After Brandon looked at her for a few seconds, Catherine opened her eyes. Perhaps she turned her head because Branden’s gaze was too focused, and their eyes met instantly.

Perhaps due to exhaustion, Catherine’s eyes looked tired. At this moment, she didn’t seem that fierce but relaxed and gentle, which made her appear even more adorable.

After a few seconds of observing her, Branden couldn’t help but curl his lips into a faint smile.

He had the desire to touch her smooth, rosy, and soft cheeks.

As this thought crossed his mind, he extended his hand.

Catherine didn’t react immediately when his hand touched her face.

His slender fingers gently glided over her cheeks, sending a shiver down her spine.

She never liked it when people got too close to her. When Branden made the move, she could have easily slapped his hand away. However, for some reason, she hesitated for a moment and didn’t act.

Even she couldn’t understand why.

Could it be that she judged others solely based on their appearance?

Noticing that she didn’t resist, Branden spoke slowly with a deep, magnetic voice that carried a seductive allure and drew her in.

“Are you tired?”

Hearing his voice, Catherine felt as if she was being hypnotized and instinctively nodded.

Although she had slept all day, she still felt drained.

She could go for days and nights without sleep and then sleep for days and nights.

Not sleeping felt like wasting her youthful prime during idle moments like this, didn’t it?

At this moment, she appeared sweet and gentle, a rare sight. A faint smile appeared in Branden’s bright and deep eyes. He reached out and opened a drawer on the side, taking out a blanket and placing it in front of Catherine.

“Just rest. You can use the blanket.”

Catherine glanced at the blanket but didn’t make a move. As if reading her mind, Branden added, “It’s brand new, never been used!”

Only then did Catherine reach out and cover herself with the blanket before closing her eyes once again.

It was rush hour, and the traffic was heavy.

There was still some time left before they reached Catherine’s home, allowing her to rest for a while.

Looking through the rearview mirror, Paxton once again found himself shocked. A flicker of surprise flashed in his typically cold eyes.

Could it be that his boss was genuinely interested in this girl?

Paxton knew his boss well and had never seen him voluntarily offer a blanket to someone. At this point, he found it hard to believe what he was witnessing in the car.

Even if Triston was critically ill and collapsed right in front of his boss, the most he would do was call an ambulance. There was no way he would extend a helping hand.

Since Catherine had entered the picture, Paxton had been more astonished than he had been in the past twenty years.

As the car passed by a street bustling with food trucks, Catherine suddenly opened her eyes and reached out to lower the window.

The rich aroma of various cuisines wafted in, including fried chicken, Indian curry, tacos, and other delectable dishes.

The scent of barbecue was particularly enticing to Catherine, tantalizing her taste buds and making her mouth water.

“Would you like to have some?”

A seductive voice came from behind Catherine, but she remained unmoved, leaning quietly.

However, the person behind her seemed persistent. Even though Catherine didn’t respond, he continued speaking. “I’ve heard there’s an incredibly authentic international barbecue restaurant on this

street. All the ingredients are sourced from different countries, and there isn’t a single negative review online!”

Catherine gazed at the lively and vibrant scene of the street, adorned with colorful lights. She clenched her teeth quietly and couldn’t help feeling a tinge of disdain, as this man knew how to charm people.

She hadn’t been hungry, but his words suddenly triggered a craving for food within her.

She abruptly turned around, locking eyes with the handsome man who wore a smirk on his face. “How do you know there isn’t a single negative review online?” she asked, somewhat displeased.
