All Her Secrets

In a daze, Catherine heard her phone ringing.

She reached out from under the covers and found her phone with precision. Then she pressed the answer button and placed it by her ear.

On the other end, Zobber said excitedly, "Catherine, it's me. Are you up?" Catherine squinted at the tand saw it was noon. It's no wonder Zobber was calling her.

She grunted in response, "Well." After Zobber heard Catherine's soft and slightly hoarse voice, her heart skipped a beat. She knew she had disturbed Catherine in her sleep, but she couldn't resist such an alluring voice.

"Catherine, it's noon already. Want to grab sfood? Withal and I are back. Let's eat together!" If it were someone else, Catherine would have likely refused.

She prefers to sleep in during the weekend and eat later in the apartment.

However, since Zobber and the others had just returned from a mission, Catherine reluctantly agreed and replied, "Alright. You guys pick the spot. I'll cover." Suppressing her excitement, Zobber was considerate and asked, “Catherine, where are you? Should I pick you up?" "I'm at the apartment. There's no need for you to pickup," Catherine replied. She declined Zobber's offer. Apart from Branden, she never let anyone else pick her up.

Knowing Catherine was at the apartment, Zobber guessed she was at Branden's place and suggested, "Mr. Duncan must be home. Catherine, why don't you bring Mr. Duncan along? The more, the merrier!" Catherine stayed silent for a moment before responding, "Okay. I'll ask him later." With that, Catherine ended the call.

As she was about to get up, she spotted Branden leaning against the door frame.

He must have just arrived, as Catherine wouldn't have missed his presence otherwise.

Catherine shook her phone she held in her hand and said to him, "Zobber and the others are back. They've planned lunch. Want to calong?" This meant she was going and, in passing, asking for Branden's opinion. Branden had never opposed Catherine's decisions. If she was willing, he wouldn't object.

Half an hour later, Branden arrived with Catherine at the Golden Spoon.
