All Her Secrets

The one who had the biggest shock among all at the table was Bryan. Never would he think that he would see Branden here. It turned out that he had not been wrong that day.

That car did belong to Branden, which meant that he did know Catherine. Bryan felt stupid for his naive thinking that he had been hallucinating. He had been lying to himself.

Catherine looked back and saw Branden, as well as Triston, who was standing beside him. Her beautiful and delicate features scrunched up as she furrowed her brows. A frigid feeling gathered between her brows, but she did not speak.

Branden sensed her unhappiness. “You are not allowed to drink!” he said slowly. His voice was cold, but there was rare gentleness in his tone.

With his words, a strange atmosphere fell over the table. Everyone there knew about Catherine’s temper. They also knew she was not the type to take advice from others.

Catherine was the type who could hold her ground even and out best many people all by herself.

But this man was trying to tell Catherine what to do. Did he have a death wish?

He was attractive, but a nice-looking face did not mean he could do whatever he wanted.

Triston also sensed that something was amiss. He quickly pretended that he was familiar with

them to resolve the awkwardness.

“Hey Catherine, what a coincidence! Mr. Duncan and I came to eat dinner. I can’t believe seeing you here as well.

“Since we are all here, how about we eat together?”

After the words left his mouth, Triston pulled two seats over without waiting for anyone to respond.

The first seat was for Branden, and Triston invited him to sit down.

However, Branden did not take his seat. He glanced at David, who was sitting on Catherine’s right-hand side.

His eyes had a dangerous glint to it. David felt warning bells go off in his mind and he Immediately got up to give up his seat.

He did this subconsciously. He did not need to think about it at all.

Branden sat down, taking his time. He moved smoothly as if all of this was natural and as a matter of fact.

After Branden and Triston took their seats, the atmosphere became a bit awkward.

In a group of friends, there are bound to be the smart ones and the dumb ones. Someone butted in to ask, “Catherine, are these your friends?”
