His view was obstructed, preventing him from seeing inside the car clearly.Despite this, he could still guess what was happening. He stopped in his tracks, standing in place, notapproaching.
Bryan squinted at Grayson standing in front, a top-tier celebrity who was usually surrounded bycountless fans waiting for him day and night.

Catherine hadn’t been asleep for long. After the sound of the car engine completely ceased, she slowlyopened her eyes.
Ronin had been attending to Catherine. As soon as she woke up, he lowered his voice, saying softly,“Boss, would you like to sleep a little longer?”
Recently, he had noticed that Catherine had been sleeping less during class. Although he didn’t knowthe reason, he believed that she had her own purpose for doing so.

a waste to come all the way here for nothing.
“No need, let’s go!” Catherine ordered, pushing open the car door and getting out. Grayson stood in frontof her, wearing a smile on his face.
“Boss, was the journey tiring?”
Catherine slowly raised her head, a hint of a sneer in her eyes and a slight hint of mockery on her lips.
“I’m not that old. It’s just a short journey. How could it be tiring?”

“Boss, let me show you around!”

“Wow, isn’t that Grayson?”
A sudden female voice caught the attention of Grayson and the others. They all turned to look and saw agroup of girls standing far away, one of whom looked familiar. Jessica was among them, but this time,she wasn’t standing in the center but instead on the side.

“Who is she? Why is she standing next to Grayson and even letting him be her tour guide?”
The girl’s voice was loud, and Catherine immediately noticed her. That girl’s beautiful eyes were filledwith innocence. She looked younger than others. Having been born into a wealthy family, she carried anair of arrogance and petulance. If there were no intervention, she would truly become insufferable in thefuture.
