All Her Secrets

Catherine cast a cold glance at Ronin next to her. "You should practice your combat skills more and stop daydreaming too much." The disdain in her tone was too obvious, leaving Ronin feeling somewhat embarrassed. He lowered his head and quietly assured her, " Catherine, I see. I'll practice diligently from now on." Ronin's computer skills were second only to Catherine's, but he was far behind in combat skills. To those unfamiliar with him, his youthful appearance might be deceiving.

Jay was very familiar with Ronin. He knew Ronin was smart and wouldn't beat around the bush but would confront issues head-on. Therefore, he caught Ronin off guard and captured him without giving him a chance to escape.

After thinking for a while, Ronin felt he couldn't let Jay get away with it so easily. “Catherine, I want to teach that sly dog a lesson. He's too cunning!" Catherine had no objections. She shrugged casually, showing an indifferent attitude.

As they reached a fork in the road, Catherine told Ronin, “I'm going to the lab," and headed in that direction. She should have been in the classroom at that time, but Ronin's incident disrupted her schedule. Returning to the classroom now would disrupt the ongoing class, so she decided to go to the laboratory.

When Catherine emerged from the laboratory, it was already 10 o'clock at night. As she walked out of the laboratory building, she saw Branden sitting on a bench not far away. His perfect profile was exceptionally handsome, leaving a lasting impression.

He had a laptop on his knees, and his fingers swiftly tapped the keyboard with a focused expression on his face, captivating everyone's attention.

Catherine walked straight toward him. Sensing her approach, he looked up.

Their eyes met, and Catherine couldn't help but smile. “Have you been waiting long?" Branden closed the laptop, stood up, and smiled. “No, I just got here. I ran into Ronin just now, and he toldyou were in the lab, so I cover," he explained.
