All Her Secrets By Chestnut

Chapter 815 Going Home

Catherine had just stepped out from the restroom when a sudden dark figure pounced on her. With lightning speed and force, the figure yanked her into an adjacent room. With a click, the sound of the lock echoed, plunging the entire restroom into darkness as if the power had been cut off.

“Not scared?” A deep, husky voice pierced the darkness, which was a bit familiar to Catherine.

Catherine scoffed with a smirk playing on her lips. “Impressive moves! Seems like you’ve done this before.” Even though Branden altered his voice intentionally, Catherine recognized him.

Branden smiled helplessly. “Don’t accuse me wrongly. You’re the only one I’ve done this to.” He wasn’t one to waste time on such affairs with others.

Catherine stayed silent. Despite the changed voice, as Branden drew closer, she had already identified him. No one could easily abduct her, not even Branden. The restroom was tight, and they were pressed together. They even could hear each other’s heartbeats.

“With whom did you come?” Branden asked. Just now, he didn’t believe Paxton’s story of meeting Catherine here. She’d been either in the dorm or the lab lately. He didn’t believe she could be here. After confirming Paxton’s eyes weren’t playing tricks, Branden hurriedly made his way over. Then Branden realized that it truly was Catherine.

“Amelia and Isabella dragged me to some academic conference,” Catherine explained.

Branden chuckled softly, and his voice was attractive. “An academic gathering in a place like this?”

Catherine didn’t respond, leaning in slightly to smell a faint trace of tobacco on his chest. “Is this yours?”

“No!” Branden protested immediately. Despite feeling down lately, he had sworn off smoking in front of Catherine. And he would stick to it. ” There was a business dinner tonight. Everyone else smoked except me. But somehow, their smoke latched onto me!

Catherine didn’t mind him smoking. It was just that Branden noticed she couldn’t stand the smell of smoke and mentioned wanting to quit. Not smoking was commendable, and Catherine approved.
