The people who came to the scene were all authoritative figures in the academic field. After Catherine had finished expressing her views, she handed over the floor to others.With someone as influential as Catherine setting a good example, the convention went very smoothly. During the two-hour convention, Catherine, apart from listening to their discussion for a little while at the beginning, played games on her phone the whole time without any restraint. Although she behaved so casually. However, not a single person dared to complain. With her formidable abilities, who would dare to speak against her?After the convention ended, Catherine stood up, ready to leave, but someone stopped her. She lowered her eyes and looked at the person with a faint gaze. "What's the matter?"Atticus rubbed his hands, looking a bit embarrassed. It was evident that he was indeed nervous. "Miss Swann, I really admire your talent and your research in the professional field..."Catherine didn't have ti
Catherine lay bored next to Branden, playing with her phone. Suddenly, a buzzing sound caught her attention, and she looked up to see Branden answering the phone that was ringing next to him.Catherine was close enough to hear the voice on the other end of the phone. It was Aidan. "Mr. Duncan, where are you? Let's have dinner together!"Branden glanced down at Catherine, who was comfortably resting on his lap. He heard her lazily reply, "I don't want to go out to eat."Just as Branden was about to refuse, Aidan heard Catherine's voice and immediately said, "Let's have dinner at home. I'll cook. I'm really good at it. Catherine, long time no see. Let's eat together!" His tone was urgent as if he was afraid that Catherine and the others had forgotten him. Catherine felt it was a good idea and didn't hesitate to give instructions. "Tell him we'll meet at the supermarket!"She would like to choose the dishes if they were going to have dinner. Without Branden needing to relay the me
Aidan was indeed good at cooking. The Lanes had moved overseas many years ago. Despite Aidan's usual carefree appearance, resembling a playboy, he was patriotic. Most importantly, he had a strong love for Eskanese cuisine. To preserve the authenticity of his taste buds, Aidan had sought out many chefs to learn how to cook.What started as a fun activity became his proficiency, and his culinary skills were now ready to be showcased. Aidan was busy cooking while Branden emerged from the kitchen after cutting the fruit.Catherine was playing games with Triston. Totally different from Catherine, who remained calm, Triston was visibly excited, veins bulging on his neck. When Catherine scored a direct hit on the opponent in the game, Triston cheered, "Wow, Cassie, that was awesome! Now, those wimps on the other side won't be able to act tough! You beat the shit out of them! Anyway, I'll use a frying pan to knock them out."Seeing their excitement, Branden sat down next to Catherine an
Aidan was indeed a good cook. Most importantly, he knew how to cater to Catherine's appetite. The four of them polished off all six dishes.Aidan watched Catherine put down her fork and prop up her chin, looking at her expectantly."Catherine, tell me, how's my cooking? Is it much better than Mr. Duncan's?"Just as he had said earlier, he might not be able to compete with Branden in other ways, but he was confident he wouldn't lose in terms of cooking.Just as Aidan thought he would hear praise, Catherine calmly said, "I like Branden's cooking!"Branden quietly leaned back in his chair, a look of satisfaction in his eyes. He knew that she liked everything he cooked.Aidan immediately retorted. "How is that possible? Can Mr. Duncan's cooking be better than mine?"Triston, who was listening on the side, rolled his eyes and pushed Aidan."Aidan, have you been single for too long, so you're going dumb? What you're cooking with is your skills, so you're just a skilled cook. What Mr.
Catherine had been playing games for an hour when the sound of the game ending was suddenly interrupted by someone snatching her phone away. As she looked up, she met the man's gaze with deep, captivating eyes. Many people had praised Edson's beautiful blue eyes, claiming they were a creation of God. However, Catherine felt that those people had never seen Branden's eyes. The man in front of her had the most beautiful eyes. His clear eyes seemed to possess the vastness and brilliance of stars.Branden initially intended to advise Catherine to spend less time on games. He was concerned about her eyes. However, when he noticed Catherine's gaze fixed on him for a long time, all his eagerness to preach dissipated. He knew he had fallen for Catherine, willingly and wholeheartedly.In his gentle and deep voice, he concealed endless love. "How about taking a break? You can play tomorrow, okay?" Branden, a man who was always firm and decisive, would only use a questioning tone in her
Catherine slept until noon the next day. Seeing her sleep for so long, Branden didn't dare to make greasy dishes for her. He made some soup and a few light side dishes. Although they were light, they were very delicious.After Catherine got up and sat at the dining table, Branden brought the hot soup to her. She picked up the bowl of soup and began to enjoy it. Ever since she met Branden, her stomach problems have improved a lot.The soup Branden made tasted more and more delicious. It smelled so good! As Catherine ate it, Branden wore a bright smile on his face. For him, watching Catherine eat the food he cooked was more satisfying than making a business deal worth tens of billions of dollars.When Catherine put down her bowl, Branden reached out to take it, but Catherine stopped him. "Enough!" Branden couldn't stand to see her bowl empty and wanted to refill it at any time. She actually ate a lot. Compared to most girls, she did have a bigger appetite. The reason she didn't gain
Jaxton personally welcomed Branden and Catherine into the venue.Once inside, Catherine finally understood why Branden had brought her to the banquet.When Edson saw Catherine, his eyes lit up instantly, and he walked straight towards her with a raised glass. "Cassie, I haven't seen you in a few days. I missed you so much!" Edson's voice wasn't quiet, and the people around clearly heard him.They were initially surprised that Catherine could accompany Branden to the event. But they didn't expect Catherine to know Edson as well. It was well known that the Breens and the Duncan Corporation have been at odds in recent days. Now, however, the girl who accompanied Branden to the event had such a close relationship with Edson. The complex relationship between them immediately stirred up gossip among the crowd. Everyone wanted to know what Catherine's background was and what the relationship between them actually was.When Branden saw Edson coming over, his eyes instantly darkened, ex
Catherine was playing games with Branden in the lounge when Paxton knocked on the door."Boss, the guests have arrived," Paxton said.Branden glanced at Catherine, who was still playing the game and casually dismissed Paxton. "We'll go out later."Paxton understood his boss's intention and obediently stepped aside to wait.Catherine reclined on the comfortable sofa the whole time, only putting down her phone after finishing a round of the game.Even though she had been playing the game, she had still heard Paxton's report earlier."Let's go." Branden didn't move immediately. Instead, he patiently asked Catherine, "Not interested in your game anymore?""I'm bored of always winning," she replied, her words carrying extreme arrogance.If someone else had said that, they would have been despised. However, it was Catherine who said those words, and that made all the difference. After all, everyone knew what a legendary figure she was in the gaming world.She didn't just play game
