All Her Secrets

When Catherine heard Korbin’s voice, she halted and pivoted to face him.

Her eyes met Korbin’s with an icy detachment devoid of warmth or interest.

Korbin was puzzled by the situation, but when Catherine glanced at him, a strange feeling stirred in his chest.

He only experienced this feeling when dealing with angry Vicente.

Catherine looked at Korbin, who stayed quiet for a while. Her eyebrows came together, showing her concern.

She spoke quietly and coldly, “What’s wrong?”

Her voice seemed to have a magic power that brought Korbin’s attention back.

Korbin looked up at Catherine, trying to look serious. He asked with a serious face, “Do you know Mr. David? Why haven’t you mentioned it before?”

Before Korbin could complete his question, Catherine swiftly responded concisely.

“No, I don’t know him!”

The truth was Catherine and David didn’t know each other well. They were just acquaintances.

Korbin found himself unable to express what he had initially intended to say, prompting him to adapt his approach.

“Why did it seem like you two were having a good conversation today?” Korbin asked.

Seeing Korbin’s unwavering curiosity, Catherine decided to give him a straightforward explanation to prevent any potential problems. “He knows Vicente and has been to our hometown,” she replied coldly.

Now, Korbin understood and grasped the situation at hand.

Vicente’s secretive nature regarding his business dealings made it unsurprising that he had acquaintances like Mr. David, considering his vast network and connections.

Korbin had numerous questions to ask, but to his dismay, Catherine had already turned and left, depriving him of the chance to stop her and continue their conversation.

Unfazed, he decided to follow her anyway. And as he thought, Catherine turned out to be a regular girl from the countryside, without any special qualities or importance.

…

After returning to her room, Catherine received a call from Ronin and promptly answered it.

When she answered the call, she heard Ronin’s voice on the other end.

Ronin, who was younger than Catherine, deliberately deepened his voice when he spoke.

“Boss, Joseph has appeared!”

“Where is he?” Catherine asked, her brows slightly furrowed.

Joseph was a traitor within their group. Seizing the opportunity of a team member’s failure, he covertly snatched a valuable chip.

The chip held crucial information that might not be personally important to Catherine. However, if Joseph sold it to unethical people, it would cause a big issue.

That was why it was necessary to apprehend Joseph and retrieve the chip.

The sound of Ronin typing on the keyboard came through the earpiece. After a few seconds, Ronin spoke again.

“Boss, it’s confirmed. Joseph will be at Charm Bar in Casier tonight. I’ll send someone there, and we’ll catch him tonight!” This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“No need,” Catherine calmly responded, catching Ronin off guard with her next words.

“I’ll go by myself.”

Ronin, on the other end of the phone, was shocked. “Boss, are you serious?”

Catherine didn’t give Ronin a chance to ask more questions. She hung up the phone right away.

Ronin seemed used to this kind of situation. He held onto the phone, feeling excited.

His boss, Catherine, planned to capture Joseph personally!

It had been a while since Catherine had personally engaged in such affairs. He was excited and eager to see her abilities firsthand.

But Ronin had to do the surveillance alone, which was a bit disappointing. He could only rely on the bar’s hacked cameras to keep an eye on things.
