“Oh my goodness! How was this barbecue sauce made? It’s so delicious! It’s amazing...” Triston exclaimed in astonishment as
he quickly stuffed food into his mouth.
Just like Catherine, he loved barbecue. He had tried all the barbecues in his home country, and in the end, he even opened his
own barbecue restaurant with a master chef. It was evident that he truly loved it.
Triston had come here to join in the fun, but he didn’t expect this barbecue to be so impressive and delicious. It was truly
extraordinary.
Ronin rolled his eyes at Triston and couldn’t help but comment, “Why do you have to talk while eating? If you keep blabbering, I’ll
kick you out!”
Triston was scared by Ronin’s fierce tone of voice. He quickly grabbed some meat and stuffed them into his mouth to prevent
himself from being kicked out later.
Ronin sat in his seat, looking unhappy. He had spent a long time researching the sauce and had tried it many times. It was
specifically designed to serve Catherine. But now, so many people shared it.
The sauce wasn’t exclusively for Catherine now, which made him angry. “How could it be like this?” he asked inwardly. “I made
the sauce for Catherine! I don’t want you to share it with her!”
However, Catherine agreed to let the other people come, and Ronin had no choice but to acquiesce. He looked towards
Catherine and saw Branden naturally put a piece of meat on Catherine’s plate. Seeing this, Ronin exploded with rage. He stood
up and glared at Branden, his face full of anger.
“Hey, how can you use your fork to pick food for our Boss? Don’t you know that it’s contaminated with your saliva?”
As soon as these words were spoken, the noisy table fell silent, and only the sound of meat sizzling remained.
Everyone’s gaze focused on the two of them, but Branden remained calm as if he wasn’t the one being shouted at. He slowly
lifted his head and glanced at Ronin, his gaze steady and icy, devoid of emotion.
Catherine didn’t think it was a big deal either. She continued to eat the meat on her plate without any hesitation.
The lack of response from the two directly answered everything silently. Triston laughed out loud in an attempt to diffuse the
awkwardness.
“Well, what’s the big deal? They’re engaged, and their parents have agreed. It’s normal for them to sleep together, let alone
share food.”
Ronin, already on the verge of exploding, threw a fit on the spot. “You’re talking nonsense! How can this guy be worthy of our
Boss?”
The air fell silent in an instant, and Triston internally gave a thumbs-up to Ronin. “Well done, young man,” he praised silently.
“You’re amazing.”
Ronin might be the only person in Casier who dared to say such words to Branden. Sensing the strange atmosphere, Ronin felt
panic in his heart, but he quickly overcame it with his strong belief.
“I didn’t say anything wrong!”
He stared at Branden, his eyes filled with resentment. In Ronin’s opinion, this man’s behavior tarnished Catherine, and he would
not let that happen again.
Branden’s expression changed slightly, and his eyebrows slightly furrowed. He didn’t have time to play around with Ronin, a little
brat. He cared about Catherine. He locked his gaze Conto Catherine, his deep eyes seeming to carry the power to devour
everything. 11 Do you think I’m good enough for you?”
Catherine, enjoying the barbecue, didn’t expect such an abrupt question. Hearing the voice, she slowly raised her head, her cold
eyes filled with confusion.
Under Branden’s charming temptation, Catherine instinctively nodded her head. A faint smile appeared on Branden’s face. The
tip of his tongue pressed against his cheek, and the upward tilt of his eyes was filled with pride.
Triston noticed it as well. He reached out to pat Ronin’s shoulder. Ronin turned his head and glared at Triston angrily, forcefully
shaking off Triston’s hand.
Catherine just wanted to enjoy the barbecue and didn’t want any more conflicts. Suddenly, she spoke to Ronin.
“The barbecue is good!”
In the previous second, Ronin was sulking, but a big smile instantly appeared after hearing Catherine’s words. He turned his
head to look at Catherine, his eyes filled with anticipation.
“Boss, I was originally worried that the sauce would be too salty. I didn’t expect you to like it too. It’s great, isn’t it?”
Catherine raised her eyes slightly and glanced at Ronin, who had a bright smile on his face. She nodded in agreement with his
words.
For Ronin, this was like being praised twice in a row by his Boss simultaneously, which enormously excited him. Just a moment
ago, he felt the world was gloomy, but it suddenly became colorful and vibrant.
“Boss, I put some jelly in the
refrigerator. I made it myself. I’ll go get it for you!”
After saying that, Ronin got up and left .
Jelly went well with the barbecue. It was a perfect match. As soon as Ronin disappeared, Triston immediately glared at
Catherine, whispering, “Catherine, this classmate of yours seems a bit crazy, huh? How can he switch roles so easily? One
second ago, he was a cold and arrogant top student, and the next, he was a sweet little puppy. He’s quite an actor.”
Like a family member, Ronin had been by Catherine’s side since they were young. She didn’t like hearing others talk about him.
She raised her head, and her eyes instantly turned icy. Her eyes were like two sharp swords, shooting directly at Triston.
Her gaze was intimidating. Just one glance at Triston made him feel a sense of fear, which was even more terrifying than
Branden’s. Triston suddenly realized that offending Branden wasn’t the worst thing. But offending Catherine was because
offending Catherine was equivalent to insulting Branden, Bryan, and even Ronin.
Triston couldn’t afford to offend them, so he quickly apologized. “Well, sorry, I was just talking nonsense. I’ll shut up and eat the
barbecue, okay?”
Since Triston had apologized, Catherine didn’t dwell on it anymore. Ronin came back with a plate in his hand. He placed it in
front of Catherine, looking at her expectantly.
“Boss, have a try. I added some mint water and fruits without sugar!”
Catherine didn’t like to eat sweets. Bryan glanced at the plate and found that Ronin was quite scheming. There were so many
people, but Ronin only brought jelly for Catherine. She was truly favored.
Catherine took a bite and nodded in satisfaction. Ronin’s cooking did suit her taste. She slowly raised her eyes and glanced at
Ronin, asking, “Is there more?”
Ronin knew what Catherine’s words meant. He turned around to bring out a small pot, placing it in front of everyone. His voice
was cold as he said, “If you want to eat, serve yourself!” Ronin’s attitude totally changed!
