All Her Secrets

Catherine was heading to the exam room in Casier. Looking ahead at the crowded scene, Catherine impatiently spoke up in a cold voice, “Drop me off up front.”

There was no choice. The place was packed with the parents of exam- takers. Many families had mobilized for this event.

The once spacious road had now become unbearably congested. Hearing Catherine’s words, the driver was sweating profusely. But he didn’t dare to make any decisions.

Seeing the severe traffic jam up ahead, Branden simply pushed the car door open.

With the blazing sun outside, he reached for the umbrella by the car door and propped it up to shield himself from the scorching rays.

Paxton approached and intended to take the umbrella, but Branden avoided his hand. Branden circled to Catherine’s side, opened the car door, and led her out.

As they stepped out, the big umbrella cast a shadow over Catherine and shielded her from the sun completely.

“Let’s go,” Branden said.

He held Catherine’s hand and led her toward the exam room. The parking spot wasn’t too far from the exam room, just 100 yards away.

The entrance of the exam room was swarmed with people. Branden, who usually avoided crowds, showed no signs of dissatisfaction.

He stood behind Catherine and blocked the harsh sun with his tall figure.

At the school gate, there were also TV reporters covering the event. With Branden escorting Catherine, the two of them immediately caught the attention of many people. The reporters were quick to notice this attractive couple.

One of them couldn’t help but exclaim, “Wow. This guy is so handsome! He doesn’t look like a student here to take the exam. And the girl he’s with is so gorgeous, like a princess. Is he her brother, here to see her off?”

The more experienced cameraman behind the reporter rolled his eyes and teased the new intern for her lack of insight.

“Didn’t you look at their hands? How can they be siblings when they’re holding hands like that?”

Upon closer inspection, the reporter realized what the cameraman said was right. The two people’s intertwined fingers made them look like a loving couple.
