All Her Secrets By Chestnut

Chapter 668 An Economics Seminar

Even after a late-night street barbecue session, Catherine couldn’t resist getting up early to head to the lab.

If she hadn’t received an unexpected message about Audrey’s mishap, she would’ve arrived even earlier, straight from the dorm to the lab.

Once inside the lab, Catherine immediately delved into her work.

To ensure she had a quiet work environment, Marshall cleared out his own exclusive lab space for Catherine.

In the research building, this was a treatment usually reserved for esteemed professors.

When professors from other departments got wind of this, they sought out Marshall and claimed he was breaking the rules. Once a precedent was set, it made things difficult for everyone else.

However, Marshall just chuckled and even teased them, saying, “If you had a gem like mine, you’d offer not just a lab but even your last penny.”

Those folks thought it was against the rules, but their arguments fell flat against Marshall’s words because Catherine’s capabilities spoke volumes. It left them envious and resigned.

After working all morning, Catherine finally emerged from the lab. Right at mealtime, Branden messaged her and reminded her to eat on time.

If she didn’t respond or eat as scheduled, Branden would probably show up at the lab with a food container in hand.

As soon as she stepped out of the lab, Catherine spotted Ciaran rushing toward her. “I knew you’d be out at mealtime!”
