As Catherine walked on the campus lane, Elliot's voice echoed along the way. What a party of surprises and shocking news tonight, Catherine wondered.

Numerous freshmen were impressed with Catherine's beautiful dance. And her gorgeous look and body made so many girls at the party jealous.

​​

Everyone couldn't forget Catherine's peacock dance nor Madison's name. It was such a beautiful name. Unfortunately, her singing wasn't that good.

Some even compared Catherine and Madison knowing they were cousins.

Madison removed her makeup and got back home. She wasn't in the mood for the show next since it was such a humiliating night.

Madison couldn't forget the look on Elliot's face. Although he didn't say anything, Madison could feel he was questioning her with his eye that her performance could be so bad.

Madison couldn't handle the result and cried. Elliot frowned, and Madison saw he had contempt on his face.

Madison hated Catherine so much for making a fool of herself in public. She blamed Catherine for ruining her well-rehearsed show and contributing to her bad reputation.

Madison knew she should apply for a class transfer.

Iris and Pearl agreed to help Madison. But in the end, neither came forward. Madison was so humiliated.

Catherine was in a good mood, unlike Madison. She ran out of the gate in case Sean was waiting for too long.

"I'm sorry. I got hold up. I didn't change my clothes nor remove my makeup in case you got worried waiting."

As Catherine explained, she started panting. She held the clothes bag and wore the same makeup and the peacock dress Sean gave her.

Sean didn't have a close look earlier. Now he had the chance to look at Catherine properly. Although her makeup was a bit heavy, it brought out the best of her looks. When he stared at her rosy lips, he wondered what it tasted like.

Catherine's waist looks slimmer in the dress. Her delicate neck was fair and tender. Sean looked up, and her eyes were clean, which took him back to the day he met Catherine many years ago.

"What is it? Is my makeup not okay?" asked Catherine. She wondered why Sean didn't say anything.

Catherine said, "The makeup is in harmony with the dress."

"You look great."

"Really? I was surprised to see it."

"Really?" Sean frowned.

Sean knew Catherine as a high school girl into heavy makeup. She loved smokey ones. Sean saw pictures of her, which made her peacock makeup look like nothing.

"I thought about treating you to a night snack. But I have to get in the car to remove the makeup."

Sean rarely came to the campus. Catherine tried to be a good host to show him around.

What was more important, Catherine thought he was smoking hot tonight. For some reason, she didn't want to say goodbye so soon.

Sean drove her to leave the campus after Catherine was ready.

"Where are we going?"

"When we get there, you'll know."

After minutes, the car stopped in front of an apartment building. Sean parked it, held Catherine's hands to get in the elevator. They stopped at the 10th floor. Sean used the key to open the door.

Catherine had a look and realized it was the only room on this floor. She was curious that Sean had property here.

But thinking of the wealth of Times Group, nothing surprised Catherine.

She thought there must be a lot of property under Sean's name. Maybe he had at least one property in each district.

"The apartment looks new. The furniture seems not being used. And it's clean. Did you just buy it?"

"Do you like it?"

"It's okay."

It was spacious with a large living room, bedroom, kitchen, and study. And it had a nice environment.

"You can move in. Don't stay on campus."

Geoffrey told Sean that four girls stayed in the same room. He was worried Catherine didn't get any privacy. And there might be someone harboring ulterior motives.

Catherine was alone in school. Although she had Sophia, Sophia could barely keep an eye on herself. The best example was military training. Catherine had to take the consequences on her own.

"Really? But I thought my room was fine. I'm alone here."

"I'll ask Geoffrey and Susan to move in with you."

"It's okay. I like my roommates."

Sean said, "This is safe. Don't worry."

"It's not about that. Do you want me to stay here for the rest of four years?"

"Why not?"

Catherine whispered, "I feel like I'm your mistress being kept away."

"What?"

"Nothing."

Catherine had the odd feeling about the secrecy.

"It's easier for me to visit you too."

What Sean said made what Catherine felt more true.

"I have to remove makeup."

Catherine got in the bathroom, removed her back, and washed up. Then she got up.

Her face got clean with spongy and fair skin. Sean liked it better.

"Honey, what if we meet up here? I can also show you around."

This was the third time Sean came to visit. Since she came home every week, there was no need for Sean to come over.

They didn't get to see each other often. But every time they met, Sean liked to get intimate with her. So this place was nice.

Sean suddenly grabbed Catherine on his knees. He said, "Why don't you stay here tonight?"

"What?"

Catherine was utterly not prepared for this.

Sean pinched her nose and said, "What is on your mind? I just want you to keep me company."

Sean always got frustrated without Catherine sleeping next to him.

"Or do you want something to happen?"

Catherine shook her head fiercely, "No."

Sean was amused.

Catherine said, "Thanks to you, my crisis was alerted. If I had to sing on the stage, I'd rather find a hole to get in."

"Nonsense."

"I'm not lying. My singing is so bad that Sophia asks me not to sing in public."

"You can sing to me."

"I'd rather not, or you might have nightmares about it. What do you think of my dance?"

Catherine wouldn't care what Sean thought about her. But since she was sure she liked him, she got self-conscious about how he thought of her. Girls in love always want their lovers to remember the best about them.
