All Her Secrets By Chestnut

Chapter 609 The Agricultural Sciences Institute

After wrapping things up in Casier, Catherine tagged along with Branden back to Loxton. Catherine couldn’t stay away from Styre University too long. There was schoolwork waiting for her.

Unlike the others, Catherine went straight to the lab upon her return. She just needed to check back in at the lab.

At Styre University, only Catherine could do this. After all, not everyone could get pulled into the lab during their freshman year like Catherine.

As Catherine stepped into the lab, everyone looked at her.

Marshall’s assistant and his proudest student, Zac Pearce, was the first to greet her. He asked, “Catherine, got everything sorted back home?”

With a gentle smile, he was polite and warm.

Catherine replied politely, “All sorted. I’m here today to sort out my leave.”

Zac nodded and then said, “Come on. I’ll take you to the professor’s office. I’ll help you out.”

As the two left, conversations bubbled among those in the lab. Someone clueless about the situation asked, “Why does Zac, usually so indifferent, seem different toward Catherine?”

Another one immediately replied, “Do you have any idea how precious Catherine is? Ever since she showed her skills last time, the computer science professor from the next department has been eyeing our lab, waiting to snatch her away. Professor Hartley even said it’s on the whole lab if she gets taken!”

Hearing that, the first one replied, “No one’s taking our people!”

At that moment, one belief echoed throughout the lab. That was to protect Catherine and prevent the other professor from taking her.
