Benny's POVI was looking for Catherine around campus.She was usually in a project room doing her own work, but she was nowhere to be seen. I checked the room she usually used and then a few other rooms, to the surprise of a few people.I apologized and continued to search around there for a while.My search turned to the classrooms used by her department, but she still needed to be seen. She was supposed to let me know if there was a schedule change or if she was leaving early, but I still need to get that from her."Could she be in the library?" I asked myself.I was busy, but I had seen her enter or leave the library several times in the past few days. I always went up to her at those times if I could, but sometimes I just said hello to her before walking away to finish my business.I never found out why or asked her directly. Still, perhaps she was looking for a new atmosphere after only doing her assignments alone for some time, other than the group assignments, which were both

Catherine's POVA week had passed. After that incident, the things Edwin talked about made me feel that the guy wasn't so bad after my first bad impression of him.He was still cold and annoying, but we had met several times, either by accident or because our classes were near each other on several occasions. Although our class schedules are different, the end times are pretty close.This time, I accidentally saw that guy who was in the library and quite close to the transparent window. I tried to attract his attention from the outside, but he didn't look at me and was still focused on the book he was reading.With a smile, I finally walked in and sat down in front of him, putting down the lecture book that was previously in my arms and looking at him. At that moment, he seemed to notice my presence and looked at me."Why are you sitting here?" he asked in a low voice and frowned.I was still smiling, following his way of speaking while flipping through my book. "You're not waiting fo

Catherine's POVThe things Edwin said surprised me. I was thinking of freedom when I said the previous thing, but I didn't say it directly until I felt like he could read my mind.He smiled faintly, but I could see in his gaze that it wasn't a smile at all but something more akin to sadness that I had only seen once before. The man chuckled, shifting his gaze to another direction."Whether you're a man or a woman, freedom is a difficult thing to obtain."I was silent but intrigued by his words. All this time, I only knew that my family life on the female side had always been stuck with the male side, so I didn't really care about the things that men had to face.Men always got the upper hand and the favor of everyone more easily than women unless the woman followed the Varma family rules to the letter.Sarah never told me about her family, while Benny only listened to my stories so far, so I didn't know it too well.Maybe things weren't that different in other families, so he could sa

Catherine's POVI don't know how I ended up in this situation, where I just followed my father's words to attend a high society meeting and then met Edwin by chance.That man had the same expression as me. He looked bored, listening to the words of the people around him who were actually of a similar age to us. Their words were mostly unconvincing and more like lies.I drank the tea in my cup, took a sip and bumped into the man unintentionally. I ignored him, pretending that I didn't recognise him or realise that we had locked eyes. I could still feel his directed gaze on me.I should have been able to mingle more if I really wanted to follow my father's words so that our family could expand our connections and look for other potential husbands, but I couldn't do that at all. I could only join the gathering and listen to every word of the people who took turns talking.I came out of the restroom after finishing my business, staring at the meeting room that seemed crowded with the peop

Edwin's POVThe thing that always made me remember Catherine was her innocence, like a child or an adult who still acted naively among many people who had other traits that were unpleasant to look at.In a way, I felt that she was annoying. She was too meddlesome and found it difficult to follow the words of others, and her daily life didn't seem to be far from her own carelessness.I knew that she was quite active in class and had taken on the role of class president several times in some courses, but she also didn't always show the role of a class president who should be able to manage herself well and without any mistakes.Is it normal for there to be students like her? She wasn't acting like she should. I wondered and wondered to myself about the existence of that woman who had caught my attention.She was bothering me in that way.I always did everything perfectly. There was nothing I wanted to miss, no mistakes or details. I always made sure my work had no flaws, and I had to be

Edwin's POVI was already in the car, looking at the suit that Catherine had given me a moment ago.I noticed that the appearance of the suit was not at all similar to the suit I lent her, but it was good enough to wear. In between my daydreams, my attention was slightly distracted by the memory of that woman's face when I found out she was eavesdropping and hurriedly handed me this new suit.She was so stubborn.I knew that she followed me after I deliberately ignored her voice calling my name, but I didn't know that she could eavesdrop on conversations that had nothing to do with her. I exhaled, already putting the suit back into its box and stuffing it into the paper bag. "She's a pretty annoying woman."I started the car, exiting the campus grounds to head home.There was no denying that the annoying woman was also quite interesting and easy to remember. As many said, she was a beautiful woman who provided a boundary for the people around her, but not all.There are other rumors
