All Her Secrets

Triston noticed that Audrey's expression becvery unpleasant after she cout of the coffee shop.

Initially, he was extremely cautious, afraid Audrey might erupt in anger and tear him apart with her fury. Now, he wished Audrey would just let it out. Audrey's silent demeanor left him anxious and unsure. No woman had ever stirred his emotions like this.

Parking the car on the side, he reached out, grabbing Audrey's hand and holding it tightly in his palm. “Audrey, what's wrong? Did Andrea say something to you? You don't have to listen to her; she's just not in her right mind." Audrey weakly lifted her head and looked at Triston briefly before whispering, "I'm tired. Just takehome." After that, she turned her head away, unwilling to give Triston even a glance.

Triston was getting frustrated, but Audrey remained calm, not raising her voice or causing a scene. Reluctantly, Triston had no choice but to respect Audrey's wishes and take her home. After all, if he pissed her off, then she would hide and disappear, and he would be the one in trouble.

Catherine stayed in the laboratory until 7 p.m. Ciaran, noticing she was still focused on the experiments, asked, Catherine, shall we go for dinner? Do you wantto bring you something?" Catherine, the professor's favorite student and the youngest among them, usually received special attention. ' Thank you, Ciaran, but I'll leave in a while." She politely declined the offer.

Ciaran found it curious. "Rare for you to leave the lab so early today." " Ciaran admired Catherine's concentration during experiments. Once in the lab, she displayed an intense focus, not even glancing at her phone during breaks. Perhaps it was because she had such focus that she was so successful that even the professor looked at her differently.

In response to Ciaran's teasing, Catherine smiled faintly and replied, Just happened to have something to attend to." "Alright then, we'll go for dinner first," said Ciaran.

After waving goodbye, Catherine resumed her work.

As the experiments concluded, she closed the lab door. And before leaving, she paused at Marshall's office. She stood quietly, and there was no sound from within.
