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
Atticus had been humiliated inside the banquet hall, and since he did not fight back, he was so angry and had nowhere to vent his anger. He could only walk out of the banquet hall to calm himself down. The assistant came to Atticus' side cautiously and lowered his voice. "Professor Sterling, I think they did it intentionally to make you angry!" Atticus glanced at his assistant coldly. He moved his beard disdainfully. "You think I don't know?" It was precisely because Atticus knew they were doing it intentionally that he tried his best to suppress his anger. He wanted to see what Branden and the others could do to him without a good reason. Edson had agreed to cooperate with him. He would report to his superiors about the cooperation with the Breens. When they reached an agreement, he would have his way to remove Catherine. "At that time, not to mention Branden, even if the entire Duncans took action, what could they do?" he thought. Atticus was filled with pride in
Branden had followed Catherine out of the banquet hall. When Catherine was done with Atticus, she came back to the banquet hall and saw Branden leaning against the corridor at the entrance of the banquet hall. The lights stretched his shadow behind him endlessly, making him look thinner and more upright. However, this was only what one would see on the surface. Only Catherine knew what kind of robust body Branden had under his slim suit. Some people just looked thin in clothes. Catherine was about to step up the stairs when a figure rushing out from the side disrupted her. "Catherine!" Although the other party tried to conceal it, the excitement in his voice was evident. Upon hearing the voice, Catherine turned her head to look at Drake beside her. The party organizer was Jaxton, and Drake was his only son. As such, it was not at all surprising that Drake was there. "What's the matter?" Catherine glanced at him faintly and inquired in a low voice. Drake's gaze a
In a daze, Catherine heard her phone ringing. She reached out from under the covers and found her phone with precision. Then she pressed the answer button and placed it by her ear. On the other end, Zobber said excitedly, "Catherine, it's me. Are you up?" Catherine squinted at the time and saw it was noon. It's no wonder Zobber was calling her. She grunted in response, "Well." After Zobber heard Catherine's soft and slightly hoarse voice, her heart skipped a beat. She knew she had disturbed Catherine in her sleep, but she couldn't resist such an alluring voice. "Catherine, it's noon already. Want to grab some food? Withal and I are back. Let's eat together!" If it were someone else, Catherine would have likely refused. She prefers to sleep in during the weekend and eat later in the apartment. However, since Zobber and the others had just returned from a mission, Catherine reluctantly agreed and replied, "Alright. You guys pick the spot. I'll come over." Suppressi
Catherine set down her utensils and casually remarked, "There's no need for you to do that if you merely want to give us space." Drake was stunned for a while. Zobber beside him rudely kicked his chair. "Kid, stay put. Next time, if you want to make an excuse, make it believable." Drake sat down slowly with a faint smirk playing on his lips. He was clearly in good spirits. Though he tried to control it, his ears betrayed him by turning red. He genuinely didn't smoke. He thought Catherine wanted to discuss something privately with Zobber, so he found an excuse to leave. For a professional esports player like him, smoking could be detrimental because it could lead to a range of health issues, with the most severe potentially affecting reaction time. Therefore, smoking and drinking were prohibited for professional esports players. Since Catherine let Drake stay, Zobber knew Catherine's intention. As such, she reported the situation to Catherine without hesitation before Drak
