All Her Secrets

After Catherine left the private room, she got ready to leave the restaurant. However, Branden suddenly grabbed her hand and pulled her into another private room. Catherine frowned at Branden’s action. She was just about to warn Branden not to get handsy with her.

But then a waft of spicy fragrance hit her. It caused Catherine to forget her previous thoughts in an instant. Catherine turned her head. Then she caught sight of the server inside the room putting some kebabs on the grill.

It turned out that the barbecue was ready. No wonder the aroma was so enticing. As Catherine stared at the barbecue, Branden observed her with a subtle smile on his handsome face.

Branden thought inwardly, “What should I do? “Although I am the heir of the Duncans, I seem to hold less significance in this woman’s eyes than a barbecue.”

Branden knew that his current value might not match that of a barbecue. However, when he saw

Catherine’s smile, Branden found it all worth it. “Why are you still standing? It’s late now. Let’s eat first and then talk.”

Branden directly guided the unmoving Catherine to her seat. He firmly pressed her down. Catherine still stared at the barbecue. Catherine had to admit that Branden really understood her.

After Catherine returned from the program team, she had been resting in her room all along. If it weren’t for Kim’s news, Catherine might have slept right through to the next day.

Catherine didn’t feel hungry until she saw food. But once she saw it and caught the aroma of the barbecue, she was starving.

Most importantly, Branden had a precise understanding of Catherine’s taste. On the table, on one side was her favorite beef brisket, while on the other side was pork steak. The food looked incredibly tempting just from its appearance. This made Catherine’s appetite even more voracious.

Paxton stood on the side and took in the aroma that filled the room. He was shocked when he saw Branden serve Catherine with care.

Branden was always aloof and held a strong aversion to women. Rumor had it that Branden didn’t allow women within 100 yards of his vicinity.
