All Her Secrets

Catherine had been waiting behind the stage with Bryan and Ronin. The last team had just got on the stage. When they were done performing, it would be Catherine and her team’s turn.

The backstage area was packed with people. Some of them were born with stage fright. They had looked ghastly pale before they got on the stage, praying nervously. On the contrary, Catherine’s team was surprisingly calm.

Wearing an earphone, Catherine was sitting aside with her eyes closed. Her palm-size face was seamlessly covered by the black cap. Evidently, her face was really tiny.

As for Ronin, who was sitting next to her, he was dressed more or less like her. The two of them sat leisurely aside. Ronin was also wearing an earphone.

The only difference between them was that Catherine was resting while he was playing with his phone. And he was even playing an online game with Bryan.

This team didn’t look like they were there for a competition. Instead, they seemed to make up the numbers here. Finally, the previous team’s performance was over. It was time for Catherine’s team to get on the stage. However, before they got on the stage, the grip brought them a piece of unexpected news.

The grip looked at Catherine, and his forehead had beads of sweat. “I’m sorry to tell you that the audio equipment is broken. It may take a while to repair it. Can you sing without music?”

“Sing without music?” Before Catherine could give a response, Ronin shouted, “How can you ask our team to sing without music? Are you kidding me?”

The grip shivered in fright and then looked at Ronin uneasily. He carefully explained, “Ronin, it can’t be helped. I’m really sorry. I…”

Ronin grabbed the grip’s collar and wanted to beat him up, but Catherine just stopped Ronin. Ronin turned his head and stared at Catherine with a frown. “Boss…”

Catherine darted a glance at him. “Now you remember I’m your boss?”

Instantly, Ronin released the grip. He almost forgot what Catherine disliked. He just let his temper get the best of him.
