All Her Secrets

Catherine was confused. She gave Branden a searching look. Branden’s handsome face revealed a hint of a smile. His lips could not help but lift a bit. “I heard you are participating in the celebration gala selection.”

“Yes,” Catherine answered briefly.

“Can I watch it?” Branden looked earnestly at Catherine. It was one of the few times Branden used an interrogative sentence. He was used to ordering people. His interrogative sentences were only for Catherine.

Catherine was okay with it. All teams would perform in public. Anyone could be in the audience, and so could Branden.

“It’s the early stage now. I’ll let you know when I make it to the final.”

The teams would audition during the qualifying match, and there might not be many qualified performances. Catherine thought it unnecessary for Branden to watch her show at this stage, so she wanted him to be there after she was in the final.

Branden gazed at her with a mischievous smile in his bright eyes. Catherine caught it and walked half a step toward him. She looked into his eyes, her brow raised. She asked lightly, stretching the words, “What? Don’t you think I can make it to the final?”

“You can make it.” Branden’s voice was full of certainty and zero doubt. Catherine suddenly wanted to tease him. “You have faith in me?”

Again, Branden answered without any hesitation, “I do.”

It was only an activity at the school. The Duncan Corporation was the most influential honorary committee member, and the president could help Catherine’s team skip to the final if Branden wanted.

Branden did not worry about the final at all. It all depended on whether Catherine wanted to be in it or not. “Liana, look! Is that Branden, the head of the Duncans?”
