All Her Secrets By Chestnut Chapter 45
Chapter 45 Treat You to Dinner
Catherine pointed at the exercise she had just thrown at Bryan, then said to him, “You. Go and teach the class.”
When Bryan opened his exercise just now, she glanced at his answers. They were basically all correct and were all solved clearly and logically. She could tell that he was pretty smart.
Stunned, Bryan couldn’t believe Catherine was asking him to teach the entire class. Was he hallucinating?
Who would believe something so outrageous? However, it was really happening. Seeing that Bryan didn’t move, Catherine looked at him with a brow raised. Her eyes grew colder as she said, “Do you not want to?”
Bryan replied without thinking, “I do!”
Then, Bryan picked up the exercise, got to the front, and faced the class. “The multiple-choice questions in the front are too easy. I will skip those. Let’s start with the long questions…”
Bryan was the best in mathematics in the class. Many students begged him to teach them, but he never agreed.
Now, he was actually teaching the class at Catherine’s order. One could tell that Catherine really had a great influence over Bryan.
Class 8 was originally pretty good at mathematics already. Most of the time, the teacher didn’t bother to teach much in class but simply gave them the answers to the questions.
Bryan’s explanations were even clearer than that of the mathematics teacher.
The students, that were disdainful and grumpy at first, became increasingly fascinated by
Bryan’s teaching.
Even David, who had little interest in mathematics, was enjoying himself. As Bryan stopped between questions, David clapped and cheered. “Bryan, you’re amazing. If I knew before you’re so good at teaching others, why did I bother paying attention in mathematics lessons? I’d simply listen to you. I can understand everything you say. I feel like I can surely pass the upcoming exam!”
Bryan looked up at Catherine subconsciously, only to find she was still fast asleep. It seemed as though nothing could affect her, which made him feel somehow at a loss.
Meanwhile, David was still cheering non-stop. Bryan picked up the chalk on the table and threw it at David, glared at him fiercely, and warned, “Shut up and listen. Stop talking
nonsense!”
David was so scared that he didn’t dare to say another word. He listened to Bryan quietly. Seeing Bryan like this, the others dared not discuss anything anymore.
Seeing how everyone was listening to Bryan attentively, Liana felt that they had already forgotten that Catherine was the one that made the mathematics teacher leave.
Liana was so angry that she clenched her fists so hard that her
pen almost broke.
The jinx was lucky to have someone help her like this. Damn her!
Apart from the mathematics teacher, all the other teachers teaching in the afternoon seemed to have heard about Catherine before. None of them gave the class a hard time because Catherine was sleeping, and the class finished their lessons smoothly.
As the bell rang, indicating the end of the day, Catherine woke up slowly like she did at lunchtime, grabbed her school bag, and left. She moved so smoothly and left briskly.
Even David, who was on the side, approached Bryan in silence and sighed. “Bryan, I feel that the new student is so cool and intimidating.” Bryan turned around to roll his eyes at him. What nonsense was he spouting?
After all, she was someone he wanted to befriend. Of course, she was cool and intimidating.
Then, Bryan grabbed his bag and ran after Catherine. He wanted to catch up with her, give her a ride home, and thus grow closer to her. After leaving the school gate, Catherine was planning to take her motorcycle home.
However, when she saw the Maybach parked by the school gate, Catherine knew she did not. have a chance to ride her motorcycle again today.
Who else but him would drive a car with such a flashy license plate? Catherine’s eyes darkened as she took a turn and walked towards the car.
Paxton, sitting in the driver’s seat, recognized her at once and informed the man in the backseat timely. “Mr. Duncan, Miss Swann is here!”
The man, who was focused on his work in the backseat, raised his head slowly at Paxton’s words. He squinted his eyes slightly.
Instead of the cool black shirt he wore in the morning, the man had changed into an iron blue and more formal shirt. He had already loosened the tie on it and unbuttoned the top two buttons of the shirt, revealing his delicate collarbones, looking casual and flashy.
Paxton had already left the car and opened the door for Branden. From where Catherine stood, she saw a pair of strong slender legs emerge from the car with her eyes lowered.
The fitted pants showed the shape of his legs perfectly. At this moment, Catherine. remembered something she had only heard of before, “to fall for a man,” and finally understood what it meant!
Clearly, some men could be as tempting and dangerous as women.
After leaving the car, Branden fixed his eyes on Catherine immediately. He looked straight at her, deliberately telling Catherine he was there for her.
Standing rooted, Catherine looked indifferent. It was as if nothing could interest or affect her.
Seeing Branden walk towards Catherine proactively, Paxton, who was waiting by the car, realized that it was the first time he saw his boss approaching a woman without being pressed.
After the afternoon international meeting, Branden rushed home in a hurry. Paxton had thought he was on some critical mission but never expected that he only did so in order to pick Catherine up from school.
The whole thing seemed surreal. Catherine watched Branden approach, strolling towards her with his back to the setting sun.
The sunray fell on his back. It was as if he was shining. His well-defined and handsome features seemed even more perfect than usual under the soft light.
Finally, Branden stopped around 20 inches away in front of her. It was close enough for Catherine to see every tiny emotion on his face and not be repulsed by his approach. The man seemed to have thought of everything.
Catherine looked up at him coldly, looking and even sounding casual and lazy. “What do you want?”
“To treat you to dinner!” Branden said simply and bluntly. His bright brown eyes were openly fixed on Catherine’s beautiful face.
Hearing his answer, Catherine frowned slightly. She didn’t want to become too involved with him. She had investigated Branden before and found little about him.
There were only a few people in this world that she could learn so little about. She could see how powerful he was from this!
It wasn’t that Catherine was afraid of the Duncans. She just didn’t want to be involved with Branden.
Even though Vicente had arranged this marriage before he died, Catherine was only willing to follow through with it as long as she controlled everything.
Catherine looked up at him with a trace of arrogance in her lazy temperament.
In the face of an in-person invitation from the well-respected Mr. Duncan in Casier, Catherine replied lightly with a simple two-word answer, “I’m busy!”
