"Congratulations, Miss Swann!" Branden was all smiles when he looked at the breathtakingly beautiful girl. Luckily, she belonged to him.Catherine met Branden, who had been waiting for her for a while, at the entrance. She was stunned when he called her "Miss Swann." But then, she smiled gracefully at him. "Congratulations to you too, my dear boyfriend," she said.Branden was more than happy to hear that. He proudly held her hand. "Come on, let's celebrate!"Branden intended to have some alone time with Catherine over dinner and let her relax. But Zobber called on their way to the restaurant and asked to join them for the celebration.After discussion, they decided to have dinner first and then have a gathering in a club with everybody. Zobber and others were all in favor of this plan."Let's go!" Branden stepped on the gas at Catherine's words.They quickly finished their dinner so they could go to the club earlier. But still, they were the last to arrive. Zobber invited Audrey.
"Don't worry, even if they don't get back together, it's not because of you," said Paxton. The certainty in his tone confused Zobber. She tilted her head to study him, trying to get a clue from his expression. "What does that supposed to mean?" asked Zobber. "You act like you know something about them."Seeing that Zobber was still bemused, Paxton decided to tell her the truth. "Audrey has a boyfriend now."Zobber was stunned by the sudden news. Then she came to her senses. She looked at Paxton in shock and asked, "For real? Like a new boyfriend?""For what I can tell, yes." Paxton also found it fishy, so he cautiously chose his words. "Well, Audrey said so to Miss Swann. I don't know the details."Zobber knew Paxton very well. Although he put on a poker face daily, he was reliable. If he said so, it would very likely be the truth. However, Zobber still felt sorry for Audrey and Triston. They were once a lovely couple, but unfortunately, they had separated. To think how awkward i
Catherine received a text from Audrey when the driver who had arranged to drop Audrey off returned."Miss Swann, Miss Audrey has returned to her apartment, but we met a man at the door that Miss Audrey says is her boyfriend." The driver dutifully reported and Catherine listened in silence.She knew there had to be something the driver hadn't said. If they had just met Audrey's boyfriend, the driver wouldn't have made such a point of emphasizing it all over again.Catherine said, "Just say what you want to say."The driver nodded. "I felt that Miss Audrey's expression at that time seemed a bit strange. She looked a little disgusted or even intimidated."In the driver's opinion, under normal circumstances, when girls met their boyfriends at their doors, they would be surprised and happy, but Audrey's expression at that time was indeed a bit strange.Although it was Audrey who let him go, he was still a bit uneasy in his heart and reported this matter to Catherine after he came back
Not long after Amelia left, Zobber urgently called Catherine.Catherine glanced at her cell phone. She didn't want to connect it, but eventually picked the call up.Zobber said, "Catherine, have you seen the news? Mr. Duncan's collaboration with the Breens was actually officially announced."Although they had received the news before, Zobber was still shocked when it was announced.In her mind, she asked, "What kind of business is it to make Mr. Duncan willing to pay such a high price? He's made the Duncan Corporation a target of criticism this time.""Amelia just showed me the news. You called just for that?"Noticing some impatience in Catherine's voice, Zobber immediately hung up. "Catherine, now that you know it, I'll let you do your things. You continue working. I'm hanging up."Hearing the beep sound of the phone hanging up from the other end of the line, Catherine's brows furrowed as she thought in her mind, "Looks like they're pretty idle. It's time to get them some work
"Why didn't you send me a message when you got here?" Catherine stared Branden up and down.Her eyes were cold. Her seemingly unchanged expression had changed.Such a gaze made Branden somewhat unsure of what Catherine was thinking at the moment. He lowered his voice and said, "I was afraid that you didn't want to see me. I didn't dare to contact you, so I waited here."As he spoke, his Adam's apple kept rolling up and down due to his mood swings, carrying a fatal attraction.After thinking about it, Branden decided to wait there without contacting Catherine. It was the only way he could infallibly meet her.After hearing this, Catherine said expressionlessly, "What if I work all night tonight?"Branden replied firmly without hesitation, "Then I'll wait until dawn.""Why do you think I don't want to see you?" Catherine asked.Branden tugged at the corner of his mouth and smiled bitterly. "My collaboration with Breen Group has been exposed. You should have already seen the news.
Ronin thought in his mind with some shock, "I'm free?" Although he confirmed it again, he still couldn't believe what he heard."Come on. I'll walk you out." Finn waved at Ronin, signaling him to stand up.Ronin stood up with a bewildered look on his face and followed Finn. When he was about to walk out the door, he came back to his senses.He stopped in his tracks while calling Finn to a halt. "Wait, I have one more thing to do."Finn turned around to look at him, his mocking eyes filled with curiosity. "What? Do you want to stay? Don't be greedy. Since you have the chance to leave, leave as fast as you can. If our boss changes his mind later, you'll regret it.""No!" Ronin shook his head and then said firmly, "I want to see Flash."He wanted to see Flash again before leaving.Hearing his request, Finn was a little surprised. He had originally thought that Ronin was going to request money or something like that, but he didn't expect that he actually wanted to see their captain.
"Paxton," Branden shouted, and Paxton immediately bowed his head and apologized. "Mr. Duncan, I was wrong. Sorry, I was rude."Breen Group's general manager did not pursue the matter and said perfunctorily, "It's fine. Mr. Paxton was concerned about Mr. Duncan. It's our fault for coming a little too often."The reason why he did not lose his temper with Paxton was because of Paxton's special status.Everyone knew that Paxton was like Branden's shadow. If the general manager didn't show respect to Paxton, it was like he didn't take Branden seriously.The atmosphere eased a lot. Branden sat on the side, holding the coffee that his secretary had just brought in. He was waiting for the other party to speak.The general manager of Breen Group discussed with the deputy director and decided to have the deputy director speak up to discuss the matter.He was the one who brought out the check last time, and it was clear that he was Shane's real spokesman. "Mr. Duncan, we've received the ne
"What did you say?" Zobber was so shocked after receiving the news. She jumped straight up from the sofa.If it weren't for Withal's quick avoidance, she would have already bumped into Withal at the moment.Withal narrowly dodged and then reached out to pat himself on the chest lightly to show how scared he was. "Will you calm down? I almost got killed by you."Despite Withal's strong dissuasion, Zobber was agitated at the moment.She was unable to calm down at all and directly shouted angrily at Withal, "How can I be calm? Ronin has started working for that bastard scum. He even attacked the Duncan Corporation. This traitor, he better not be caught by me. As long as he falls into my hands, I'll definitely make him suffer."Watching her grit her teeth, Withal felt a bit flustered."If I were the one who angered her, would I end up in the same miserable state?" thought Withal in panic. Fortunately, he wasn't the one who made the mistake now.Zobber was so angry that she was about
