All Her Secrets By Chestnut

Chapter 917 Taking the Blame
Upon receiving a message from Cory, Paxton immediately knocked on Branden's office door.
"Boss, there's good news from the lab," he said.
Branden lifted his head slowly, his calm gaze coldly scanning Paxton.
Although Paxton was excited, he couldn't affect Branden, who remained composed.
"What's the matter?" Branden asked.
"The Arbotte Laboratory sent us a set of data," Paxton explained. "Lance said it's crucial for overcoming our experimental obstacles and will play a key role in our project." Slalch The FindNøvel.let website on Googll to access chapters of

Paxton's excitement was palpable as he spoke. After so much effort, the prospect of completion filled him with intense excitement.
Seeing Branden's impassive expression, Paxton couldn't help but feel puzzled. "Boss, aren't you pleased? "he asked.
Branden came to his senses, a faint, enigmatic smile appearing on his cold face. "Indeed," he said lightly.
Paxton understood that Branden must be very pleased at this moment.
Branden's mind was filled with thoughts of Catherine. It turned out she had overheard his conversation that night. With that in his mind, his smile involuntarily widened, and his gaze softened.
"Find out where Catherine is right now, "Branden instructed.
Paxton guessed that Branden intended to thank Catherine properly, so he hurried off to make preparations.
Before long, Paxton discovered Catherine's whereabouts. "Boss, Miss Swann hasn't returned to her apartment. Our investigation shows she's headed towards the airport, seemingly to pick someone up."
Branden, despite knowing Catherine's whereabouts, did not interfere with her life. He kept track of her purely for her safety. Upon hearing the news, Branden furrowed his brow and then called Catherine.
"Are you at the airport?" he asked.
Catherine was not surprised that Branden knew where she was. "Mr. Theo has arrived, and I'm here to pick him up," she replied.
At the same time, Paxton showed Branden Catherine's latest location. Catherine hadn't reached the airport yet; she was still some distance away. After seeing her location, Branden made a quick decision.
"I'll meet you at the airport," he said.
Catherine hadn't expected him to come, but since he said he would, she didn't stop him. "Okay, I'll wait for you at the airport," she said before hanging up.
Branden then stood up, took the coat Paxton handed to him, and prepared to leave.
"Boss, the car is downstairs. You can leave immediately," Paxton informed him.
The moment Branden decided to leave, Paxton had already made all the arrangements. Branden admired his efficiency and headed towards the elevator, not wanting Catherine to wait too long.
Catherine didn't have many relatives around, especially not many elders. Thomas was one of her few elders. With an elder arriving, it was only natural for Branden to meet him personally.
Catherine didn't drive too fast because she knew Branden was coming. As soon as she arrived at the airport, she received a call from Branden.
His deep, gentle voice sounded. "I'm here. Where are you?"
"So fast!" Catherine was somewhat surprised. She had expected to wait at the airport for a while, but Thomas's plane wasn't due to arrive so soon, so there was no need to worry.
"I'm at Terminal 1, Gate 3. Come over!" Catherine said before hanging up the phone. Within two minutes, she saw Branden. He walked with large strides and great speed, with Paxton following closely behind.
His exceptional appearance and demeanor attracted the attention of passersby, but he paid no heed. His gaze constantly scanned the surroundings, as if searching for someone.
Intentionally, Catherine refrained from giving any hints. She wanted to know how long it would take Branden to find her.
Her test didn't last long. Just as she was about to start timing, Branden looked in her direction.
Their eyes met, and his previously slightly anxious and searching eyes instantly found direction. He strode decisively towards her.
Branden's speed was remarkable, and in almost a second, he was in front of Catherine. Only in her presence did he drop his cold demeanor.

His friends had teased him in the
past, saying that he must have owed Catherine a lot in their past dives, so he had a cold and distant attitude toward everyone except her. But Branden wasn't interested in past lives. He only wanted to cherish the present and Catherine. The content is on bignovels.com! Read the latest chapter there!

In his view, Catherine was already aloof enough. If he didn't show some love, she might grow tired of his icy facade. Similar things are more likely to breed contempt, and there were too many similarities between them in various aspects. The content is on bignovels.com! Read the latest

He didn't want to change Catherine, nor would he try. The only thing he could
change was himself. He tried his best to become the person most suitable for
her, hoping to cherish her forever.
"Waited long, huh?" The gentle voice slowly filled Catherine's ears, warming her
heart.

"I just got here!" She intentionally
slowed down on the way, but
Branden arrived
much faster than

Branden, usually fearless, now felt a sudden thumping in his heart. He quickly
explained with a smile, "No, I didn't drive. It was Paxton!"
In reality, it wasn't as exaggerated as flying a plane; he just sped up a bit, gave a
heads-up to the DMV, and hit 200 miles per hour. But already sensing Catherine's anger, Branden naturally wouldn't admit to any of this.
Paxton, standing nearby, saw Branden trying to pass the blame to him and immediately stepped forward. "Miss Swann, I'll drive slower next time, I promise." For the happiness of Branden, he was willing to sacrifice.
Catherine could easily see through their scheme. Paxton always followed Branden's orders. If it weren't for Branden's command, he wouldn't dare to drive
so fast.
However, since they had arrived safely, Catherine didn't want to dwell on it." Don't drive so fast for no reason!"
"Yes!" Paxton replied, not even daring to lift his head. Seeing Catherine calm
down, Branden gave Paxton a meaningful look, indicating a pay raise for him. Paxton breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that Catherine wasn't angry. Life was getting tougher; not only did he have to work hard for his boss, but he also had to take the blame for him.
