All Her Secrets

Ronin Oconnor was taken aback momentarily as he looked up and only realized when he saw Branden Duncan ahead.

“Why is this guy following us everywhere? Isn’t it annoying?” Ronin muttered. Bryan gave him a disdainful glance, his face full of disdain. “Kid, are you feeling too safe? Speaking ill of my uncle like that?”

“I’m not afraid of him!” Ronin protested.

“Hmph!” Bryan coldly snorted, his tone dripping with disdain. “Sure, you’re not afraid.”

Ronin felt a bit embarrassed. He had wanted to argue back but realized that he was indeed no match for Branden, so he kept silent. However, he was still somewhat unwilling. He approached Catherine and tried to be ingratiating.”

Catherine, we rarely come to Oceanvile, and we won the competition. Can’t we celebrate together tonight? It’s been a while since I had a meal with you.”

Catherine had been staying in her apartment lately and enjoying the meals Branden had personally cooked for her. Thus, it had indeed been a while since she had eaten out.

“Wait!”

Catherine tossed out these words to Ronin before walking over to Branden. She wasn’t surprised at the sudden appearance of the man in Oceanvile.

She raised her gaze, and her initially cold eyes softened as they landed on the man. “Is the work taken care of?” asked Catherine.

The man looked at Catherine tenderly, raising an eyebrow slightly, a hint of a smile in the corners of his eyes, and nodded.

“What’s next?” asked Branden. The man handed over the decision to Catherine, letting her make arrangements.

“The competition is over. Ronin and the others want to have a meal together,” Catherine replied casually. Branden reached out and gently stroked her hair as his face filled with indulgence. “Alright, I’ll arrange it,” said Branden.
