Chapter 864 What Do You Mean?
Catherine and Audrey arrived back at the apartment to find Triston waiting at the door, evidently exhausted.
Audrey instinctively wanted to bolt, but then she realized Catherine was by her side, and suddenly Audrey found her backbone. Instead of running away, she followed Catherine into the building.
As they approached, Triston lit up. " Audrey, you're back," he said hopefully.
Audrey glanced at him, then quickly turned to follow Catherine inside. Triston hurried after them, but Audrey shot him a warning look. "Don't even think about it. Kathy is right here, and she'll knock you out if you try anything.
Triston looked at Audrey with pleading eyes.
Catherine couldn't help but chuckle at Audreyr's bravado. She turned to Audrey and said coolly, " Escape is not an option. Better to talk things out." With that, Catherine walked inside, deliberately leaving the door ajar for Audrey to make a choice.
Silenced by Catherine's words, Audrey stood there, conflicted. Triston made a move to reach for her hand, but she reflexively snapped it away, throwing him into confusion and hurt.
"I messed up. Punish me if you want, but please don't avoid me. I'll take any punishment if it'll make you feel better, "Triston pleaded, his voice filled with remorse.
Audrey sighed deeply.
Once inside, Catherine received a call from Branden. Audrey's arrival had been so sudden that Catherine forgot to tell him she didn't need a ride. "I'm at Audrey's," she informed him.
Branden's voice came through the phone, tinged with resignation. "Again?
"Is that a problem?" Catherine teased.
"Not at all." Branden quickly surrendered. He couldn't very well object to Catherine visiting Audrey, though, he felt a bit lonely without her.
"Triston is here too, chatting with Audrey at the door." Catherine shared.
Hearing that, Branden snorted. "The lovesick fool is at it again?"
"Who knows?" Catherine's voice was icy with sarcasm.
"Well, I might as well come along for the ride. If Triston is willing to leave, I'll see him out," said Branden.
"Whatever," Catherine replied nonchalantly before ending the call.
Catherine didn't need to guess Branden's little scheme. She knew he was just looking for an excuse to drop by Audrey's and see her. 'What a cheek,' she said inwardly.
Audrey came inside before Branden could arrive. As she entered, her eyes reddened. Without being asked, Audrey quickly explained, "Got something in my eye."
Catherine leaned against the door frame, arms crossed, silently observing Audrey. She understood Audrey's pain as they were two very different people. To Catherine, if one likes someone, stay together; if not, split up. If she were in Audrey's shoes, there'd be no chance with Triston. Unfortunately, she wasn't Audrey and couldn't make decisions in her love life.
After a long struggle, Audrey finally turned to Catherine. "Kathy, do you think I should forgive Triston?"
"That's up to you," Catherine responded, her words not offering guidance, but Audrey was accustomed to her straightforward nature and wasn't expecting any surprises.
"I'm going to rest!" Audrey said, dragging her weary body back to the room.
The moment the bedroom door closed, Catherine's phone buzzed with a message from Branden-he had arrived.
At this point, Triston was still at the door, so Catherine updated him on Audrey's situation.
Then Catherine received a message from Branden, reading, [Babe, can I take Triston out for a drink?]
Catherine couldn't help but laugh at Branden's antics. She quickly typed a response, which read, [Granted.]
Back in her room, Audrey received a call from an unfamiliar number. Since only Catherine and Kim knew her new number, she answered without hesitation, expecting Kim.
"Kim?" Audreyhe inquired.
"It's me!" The voice of Brian came through the receiver, instantly causing Audrey to bristle with fury.
"Brian, when are you gonna give it up? Wasn't I clear enough before? Don't you think it's crossing the line to get my number like this?" Audrey snapped.
"Aud, don't be mad. I just want to show you something. Not in a weird way." Brian tried to soothe.
"Not interested!" Audrey angrily hung up.

Audrey immediately called back, but Brian didn't answer. It was as if Brian was deliberately ignoring her. Out of options, she dialed again.
This time the call connected, and Audrey couldn't contain her fury any longer.
"Brian, are you insane? Why didn't you answer my calls?"
Brian's voice was unnervingly calm. "Sorry, I thought you'd never call again. I
was wallowing in sorrow and didn't hear the ring."
Even if Audrey wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed, she saw through Brian's malice. But she had more pressing matters to address.
"Where did you get these photos? What are you after?" Audrey demanded.
