All Her Secrets

At noon, the final bell rang. It was like Catherine’s alarm clock. When the bell stopped ringing, Catherine awoke. When Ronin
saw her wake up, he reacted immediately and handed her the coffee he prepared.
“Boss. Coffee.”
Catherine reached out to take it. Gulping down a big mouthful, she felt refreshed. “Ronin, you’re even more thoughtful now.
The temperature of the coffee was neither too hot nor too cold. Catherine was satisfied. Bryan was jealous. He disdained Ronin’s
licking Catherine’s boots. Meanwhile, he was jealous of Ronin.
Ronin knew Catherine’s preferences way better than Bryan did. Bryan could not accept that. He decided to pay more attention to
everything about Catherine and marked down what she liked and did not.
After she downed the coffee, Catherine was wide awake. She stood up. Ronin followed her and suggested, ” Boss, let’s grab
lunch.”
The three did not go to the school cafeteria. Instead, they went to a restaurant near the school. Catherine loved spicy food. She
did not like sweet food, but she could not resist anything spicy.
Ronin and Bryan were not picky about food, so they had no objection to Catherine’s choice. After leaving the restaurant, Bryan
realized that Catherine was not heading to school, which was strange.
“Boss, where are we going?” Catherine walked non-stop but turned her gaze slightly at Bryan. She answered, “To rehearse.”
Her answer did not help Bryan out of his confusion but deepened it. Shouldn’t they rehearse in the practice room in school?
Why were they heading away from it? Seeing Catherine had no intention of answering him, Bryan stopped asking further. He
was worried if he kept asking, Catherine would think he was stupid.
They arrived at an open field not far from the school. Bryan noticed that a rare large truck was parked there. Their school was
one of the top fancy schools in Casier. It owned the land where the school buildings were built. Some open fields and roads
nearby also belonged to it.
Such a large truck carrying a large container would not be allowed to enter the field without permission. While Bryan was
thinking, Ronin took a remote from his bag, pointed it at the truck, and pressed it.

The side of the container rose instantly like an overhead door. Bryan was pleasantly surprised to see a small stage when the
inner space was revealed. It was not only a truck.
His eyes were ablaze when he stared at the specially decorated stage. Bryan exclaimed, “Boss, did you arrange for all this?”
“Yeah,” Catherine replied muffledly. Ronin added, “We don’t have time to waste on fighting with others for the lousy practice
rooms in school. We should use our equipment. The stage is only a container big, but all things here are made of the best
materials imported abroad. Isn’t that cool?”
Bryan did not need Ronin to tell him that. He was not a fool. He could tell at a glance. It was just that he did not expect Catherine
to be so awesome. He had decided to steal a practice room from other people, but now it seemed unnecessary to worry.
Catherine had planned everything. With a leap, Catherine got onto the container stage. Up there, she cast a piercing glance at
Bryan and Ronin.
“What are you waiting for? Come on Rehearse.”
