Chapter 950 Grand Opening Catherine got a message from Branden saying he had slast-minute stuff to do in the neighboring city and wouldn't be back until tomorrow morning.
Actually, he didn't need to rush back, but he insisted, so Catherine went with him.
As she had no need to go back for dinner, Catherine didn't leave the lab building and worked overtpeacefully.
"Catherine!" someone called her.
Hearing the sound, Catherine turned around and saw her senior from the slaboratory standing at her door, calling out to her.
'What's the matter?" The senior pointed outside. "Someone's looking for you outside and letpass along a message.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Got it." After Catherine responded, she paused her work and walked out of the workroom. When she arrived at the lobby, she saw Rylan standing in the center of the lobby.
Rylan accurately captured her faint footsteps.
He looked up and caught sight of Catherine's beautiful eyes. A smile instantly appeared on his face. "Are you planning to work overtime?" "Don't you know?" Catherine looked at him coldly.
Rylan should know her schedule like the back of his hand.
Rylan was momentarily stunned by her cold tone. Then he finally smiled awkwardly.
'Branden didn't pickup for a day, so Rylan cinstead. If he hadn't received the message in advance, how could he have been so punctual? There aren't that many coincidences in the world. I don't believe in coincidences, thought Catherine.
After a brief moment of silence, Rylan finally spilled the beans on why he was here today." Have you eaten yet? A new restaurant just opened tonight. If you haven't eaten, let's go together." 'He call the way here just to treatto a meal? Catherine definitely didn't buy it.
Seeing Catherine remain silent. Rylan continued persuading, "It's just a meal; we are friends. What's wrong with having a meal together?" He was not wrong, though. Catherine just didn't want to be bothered. If it was just about eating, it didn't matter who she ate with. "Givea sec, I'll clean up a bit." "Okay!" Rylan gently answered. As long as Catherine could agree, he would wait no matter how long.
The restaurant wasn't too far from Catherine's lab, so Rylan drove them there himself while Catherine sat in the back seat.
It took them about half an hour to reach their destination.
The car stopped steadily in front of the restaurant, and the waiter cforward to open the door.
There were a lot of luxury cars parked outside the restaurant, and there were also a lot of decorations. Maybe because they had just opened, the whole restaurant was really bustling. After they got out of the car, the restaurant's manager cout to greet them. "Mr. Melton, we've reserved a spot for you. Please follow me." Rylan glanced back at Catherine.
Catherine replied nonchalantly, 'Let's go!" The whole restaurant was decorated in an extremely luxurious way. One could tell it was a restaurant that specifically catered to rich people.
Once they reached the second floor, Catherine immediately noticed something was wrong. She furrowed her eyebrows and looked ahead, coldly saying, "Just a simple meal, right?" Before Rylan could even explain, the manager ahead immediately stopped in his tracks and responded to Catherine's question, "Miss, there's a small party being held by our boss on the second floor tonight. The guests are all our boss's close friends. Your and Mr. Melton's VIP room is up ahead." The explanation made sense. Today was the grand opening of the restaurant, so the boss was inviting friends to help liven things up. It was all pretty normal.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCatherine said nothing. The manager just kept leading them forward.
Just as she took a couple of steps, Catherine heard a familiar voice ahead. She pretended not to hear it and kept walking forward.
When Selene saw Catherine, her whole face lit up. The person she had been waiting for had finally arrived. Seeing Catherine trying to avoid her, Selene felt really pleased.
She was planning to teach Catherine a lesson. "Miss Swann, what a coincidence! How cI run into you here, too?" Her voice drew the attention of the people around.
Catherine totally acted like she didn't see it and kept on walking straight ahead.
As soon as Selene saw the situation, she immediately stepped forward and stood directly in front of Catherine, smiling at her. "Miss Swann, why aren't you answering me? Isn't that a bit rude? Catherine stopped in her tracks and looked up at her. "Who are you?" Three simple words made Selene stiffen, and her face turned incredibly unpleasant.
Catherine didn't even bother with her, which was just straight up provocation.
Selene forced a smile to hide her anger. "Miss Swann, do you really not know me, or are you just intentionally ignoring me?" Catherine gave the coldest stare, showing no interest in her at all. "Why should I get to know you? Are you someone important or something?" Ads by Pubfuture
