When people heard footsteps approaching the door, their hopes were ignited. Unfortunately, when theowner of the footsteps entered the classroom, they were disappointed. It wasn’t Catherine, but Ronin.
Bryan slowly lifted his head. His face turned utterly gloomy the moment he saw Ronin. He glared inRonin’s direction. His cold gaze seemed like he wanted to tear Ronin apart on the spot.
David and the other students felt the pressure and didn’t dare to look up, shrinking back and remainingsilent. They had a hunch that a crazy storm was about to hit. Now, all they could do was think aboutevading and protecting themselves if a fight broke out. Ronin walked straight towards his seat, gettingcloser and closer. Suddenly…
Swoosh!
With its legs scraping against the floor, a chair came hurtling towards Ronin. He calmly lifted his foot,stopping the chair in its tracks. At each end of the chair, there was a slender leg. They belonged to twodifferent but equally handsome boys.
The classmates of Class 8 silently swallowed as they witnessed this scene. They would haveapplauded and cheered for Ronin’s little stunt if it weren’t for Bryan’s prestige. “Oh my,” they exclaimed
inwardly, “he’s so cool! 11
Ronin stood with his hands in his pockets, propping his foot up on the chair. His cold eyes staredstraight at Bryan, exuding a strong sense of arrogance. With his tongue pressed against his cheek, hehad a roguish and charming appearance that would make countless girls gasp.
“What’s wrong? You wanna fight me?”
Bryan’s heart was filled with anger, and he was thinking about where to vent it. It just so happened thatRonin appeared and angered him. “If you want to fight me, then let’s do it. Do you think I’m afraid ofyou?”
A major battle was about to erupt, and everyone’s heart was in their throat. The bell rang, signaling thestart of class. A graceful figure appeared at the classroom door, changing the current situation.
“What are you doing?” A cold voice came, instantly making the tense atmosphere between the twodissipate. Everyone turned their attention in the direction of the voice.
Catherine walked into the classroom, carrying her backpack in one hand. Her sharp eyes scannedRonin and Bryan. Ronin was delighted to see Catherine. ” Hey Boss, good morning! Have you hadbreakfast?”
Catherine nodded. Last night, she was still at Audrey’s house, and Audrey suddenly decided to wakeup early and make breakfast for her. In the end, however, all that appeared on the table was a glass ofhot milk, slightly burnt toast, and a barely recognizable fried egg. Although they didn’t look veryappetizing, Catherine still finished them, considering it as a form of encouragement for Audrey.
Ronin smiled happily upon seeing Catherine, but Bryan wasn’t as pleased. Bryan’s eyes were nowfilled with resentment and grievances as he stared straight at Catherine.
“Boss!”

The chair Bryan had kicked out earlier was respectfully pushed back into place by Ronin. Then, Ronininvited Catherine to sit down.
“Boss, have a seat, please!” Ronin said. After Catherine sat down, her gaze fell on Bryan beside her.She was not paying much attention to him, but his gaze was like two shining light bulbs, making it hardfor her to ignore him.
“What’s wrong?”
Bryan shook his head but then quickly nodded, realizing something was wrong. Catherine rested hercheek on her hand, squinting at Bryan. “Just tell me.”
After thinking for a moment, Bryan spoke up. “Boss, why didn’t you invite me to join you for a barbecuelast night?
After speaking, Bryan carefully observed Catherine’s reaction, afraid that she would think he was beingclingy. He couldn’t help but feel angry when he saw the pictures Triston and Aidan posted on theirsocial media. They had both gone to the barbecue, but Bryan wasn’t invited. That was not acceptable.
