Chapter 542 I Like It This Way
Corey's sarcastic remarks didn’t bother Catherine at all. She didn’t need to do
anything because her classmates quickly shut Corey down with their comments,
leaving him with no courage to stay. He slinked away in embarrassment, which
was what he deserved for being so mean.
Dylan found that Catherine was leaning against the side, resting. He intentionally
coughed twice to wake her up.
Catherine opened her eyes, slightly squinting at him, which scared Dylan out of
his wits. If it weren't for the students around them, he would have apologized to
her right away for disturbing her rest.
Dylan lowered his voice and explained, “Ms. Swann, someone is looking for you
in the office.”
Catherine frowned and glanced at him. It was a very indifferent look, but it made
Dylan's heart skip a beat.
“It has nothing to do with me. It's a command. I don’t even know who gave it to
me!”
Catherine knew that Dylan wouldn't dare to lie to her. The fact that the other party
could come to this military camp to find her indicated that they had a lot of
influence.
Catherine didn't intend to make things difficult for Dylan. She got up, patted her
thighs, and said casually to him, ” Lead the way!"
Seeing that Catherine finally agreed to go, Dylan silently breathed a sigh of relief.
It felt like surviving a disaster.
There was a five to six-minute walk from the training field to the office. Catherine
walked with Dylan under the scorching sun until they reached the office door.
Standing outside the door, Dylan stopped in his tracks. “Ms. Swann, you can go
in by yourself. I have to go back to the training field!” He was instructed to leave
once he brought her here.
“Sure!” Catherine responded in a muffled voice and took a step toward the office.
She wanted to see who this mysterious person was.
The curtains in the office were drawn, so it was dim inside. Catherine casually
walked in and suddenly felt an aura behind her. She immediately turned around,
but a dark figure instantly approached her. She couldn't dodge in time and was
pressed down.
With a soft click, the office door closed. At the same time, she was pinned
against the door.
“Aren't you resisting?”
Branden'’s deep voice echoed softly in Catherine's ear. His warm breath sprayed
onto her cheeks, tickling her pores.
In the dim light, a mischievous smile appeared on Catherine's face.
Branden’s voice was low, but hers was even lower.
“Resisting? Such a good-looking man is standing in front of me. Why do I need to
resist?”
“Humph.” Branden chuckled, his voice as enchanting as music playing from a
gramophone.
In the next moment, Catherine spun around and pressed Branden against the
door. She extended her finger and lifted his chin, forcing him to raise his head.
Her posture was dominant yet alluring, exuding a sense of ambiguity.
She slightly lowered her head and blew a breath onto Branden’s nose, lowering
her voice as she softly said, “I like it this way!”
After speaking, she pressed her warm lips tightly against Branden'’s.
The impact of this kiss was as powerful as a meteor striking the earth. If it weren't
for Branden'’s strong willpower, Catherine would probably not be able to walk out
of this room today.
Considering that Catherine was still in physical training, Branden only kissed her
a few times before stopping.
Catherine comfortably fell into Branden’s embrace, allowing him to hold her as he
pleased.
“Why did you come here today?”
“Because I missed you!”
Branden’s answer was concise, but his purpose was clear. There was no
particular reason. It was just because he missed her. He came regardless of
everything, just wanting to see her.
Like an ordinary conversation between a married couple, Catherine stayed in
Branden'’s arms, talking with him about the most ordinary things.
“The food at school is not bad, and I'm getting used to it. The food at the military
camp is also good, similar to the taste in Casier.”
Branden looked at Catherine's beautiful face, his eyes full of affection, He gently
caressed her hair.
“That's good!”
What Catherine didn’t know was that the food in Styre University cafeteria used
to be average. The recent improvement in the food was because Branden had
managed to change the chefs in advance.
The former chefs of a five-star hotel now worked in the kitchen of Styre University
cafeteria.
The reason the food in the military camp tasted similar to that in Casier was that
the chefs in the camp were personally arranged by Branden from Catherine's
favorite restaurant.
Branden did everything he could for her, but she had no idea about any of it.
However, he didn't need Catherine to know. His purpose was simple-to make
sure she was happy.
The physical training continued, and Catherine had no intention of standing out.
Branden had many things waiting for him to handle at his company. Therefore,
they only spent an hour together before parting ways.
Before saying goodbye, Branden reached out and caressed Catherine's soft hair,
his eyes filled with reluctance.
“After the physical training ends, I'll come pick you up!”
After the physical training, the school would give the students two days to relax.
Catherine, rarely obedient, nodded. ” Okay!"
With a gentle kiss on her forehead, they separated once again, each busy with
their own tasks.
After two days of practical training, the school planned to hold a “Military Training
Games,” where the training exercises would be turned into competitive events.
Each class would have 10 events, with at least 10 athletes participating.
Catherine had no interest in any of this and hardly participated in it.
After seeing Catherine's performance in class, the temporary president of the EIE
Classmates Union, Sophia Miller, silently gave up on her and didn’t even ask her
to sign up.
After all, why would she ask someone who scored zero in shooting to
participate? Why would she do such a foolish thing?
In the afternoon, when the registration results were announced, the EIE class
was in an uproar.
Amelia was the first to ask Catherine. She looked at Catherine in disbelief.
“Kathy, you're incredible! You signed up for five events, including shooting! Are
you sure?”
Not only Amelia but also the entire EIE class students had their eyes on
Catherine.
Catherine was momentarily confused, looking at Amelia with a puzzled
expression.
“What did you say?”
