Chapter 57
Catherine was confused. She asked, “Why are you here?”
Ethan chuckled, like a gangster a lot. Emilia, who was standing by Catherine was scared a bit. She whispered to Catherine, “October, do you know him?”
Catherine nodded. “What a reaction! As my girlfriend, you broke my heart!” Ethan knocked Catherine on her forehead. Catherine rolled her eyes and whispered to him, “Since Anderson Clark isn’t here, we don’t need to act, do we?”
“I don’t think so. We should always finish the play, shouldn’t we?” After speaking, Ethan looked over into the box. “Suit yourselves. The bill’s on me today.”
Finishing his words, he waved to her and left.
Emilia looked at Catherine excitedly. “October, is he your boyfriend? He’s so handsome! Everything is so costly in Sky Club. Mr. Bradley agreed to us after we’ve tried to convince him for a long time.”
As for the current relationship between Ethan and her, Catherine couldn’t explain it to Emilia. “Suit yourselves and have fun. Don’t save any penny for him. He’s super-rich.”
Emilia and others were all younger than Catherine, so they had a lot of different ways to have fun. Simon was the same age as her. They were sitting aside, drinking and watching others.
“Was the man just now Mr. James?”
Catherine nodded.
Simon nodded. He lowered his voice and asked, “Are you employed by Meow Comics now?” Meow Comics was the name of the girls’ comics website built by Ethan.
Catherine didn’t answer.
Simon didn’t insist, though. “I’ve heard that Mr. James has established a comics website only for the girls’ comics. It seemed to be for his younger sister. Now a series of infernal comics has been promoted. Although the drawing style is different from yours, I noticed what the narrating style looks like. I wasn’t sure if it was drawn by you, but my guess was confirmed when Mr. James appeared.”
Catherine was clear. Establishing the website for his younger sister was just an excuse that Ethan made to avoid others from knowing that he was into the girls’ comics.
Since Simon could tell that she had drawn that infernal comics, Catherine wondered if others who knew her well could also tell.
Simon knew what Catherine was worried about. Taking a sip of wine, he said casually, “No worries. I won’t tell others.” Catherine nodded.
“October, please try this cocktail! It’s awesome!” Emilia handed a glass of Sky to Catherine.
Catherine took it over. “You’d better not drink too much of this cocktail. It has a strong delayed effect.”
Emilia nodded, but she didn’t take Catherine’s words to heart when drinking it.
Those were youngsters. As if they would never get tired, they didn’t dismiss until midnight. When going home, Catherine came out of the box while yawning. Meanwhile, Emilia pulled her and said excitedly, “After the script was done, I want to act a role in the program. October, which role do you think I fit in?”
Catherine asked jokingly, “Which one do you want to act?”
“I want to act Amanda Barnett. Amanda is way too beautiful. She’s the best role in the script.” While Emilia was answering, her eyes were twinkling.
As if she had thought of something, she lowered her head and said, “But I look far different than Amanda.” Catherine wanted to burst into laughter. Simon couldn’t bear it any longer. Helping Emilia up, he said to Catherine, “I’ll drive her home.”
Catherine nodded. Only Simon drove here. Others all came here by taxi. Since most of them were drunk, and Catherine was sobered. She didn’t hail a taxi to go home before sending them to the cabs one after another.
A girl bumped into her, almost knocking her down.
“lm sorry. I’m in a hurry,” the girl with straight long black hair apologized softly.
Catherine wanted to tell her that it didn’t matter. After keeping her balance, she saw the girl clearly, her face stiffened. “Isabella?” The girl was obviously shocked. Then she answered, “No, Miss. You’ve mistaken me as someone else. I’m Johanna Scott.”
“Miss Scott, please slow down. Mr. Clark isn’tin a hurry.” Paul caught up with Johanna after parking the car, gasping.
When seeing Catherine, the smile on his face was stiffened. “Hi, Miss Johnson. I didn’t know you are here.” Johanna looked at Paul in confusion. “I accidentally bumped into this lady just now. Do you know her?”
The girl didn’t only look like Isabella, but also her voice was the same as Isabella’s. Even the artistic temperament emanated from her was quite similar.
Paul nodded, wondering how he could explain the relationship. He couldn’t tell Johanna that Catherine was Mr. Clark’s ex-wife, could he?
Looking at Catherine, Paul asked, “Miss Johnson, why are you still here so late?”
Catherine came back to her senses. For some reason, she answered, “I came here to find Ethan.” “Johanna, come over.”
They heard a deep voice from behind.
Catherine witnessed the girl named Johanna threw herself into Anderson’s arms with a sweet smile, “Mr. Clark, why did you come out?”
The worship and happiness in the girl’s eyes were seen by Catherine clearly. She used to treat this man in the same way — when she looked at him, her love for him filled her heart and the brightness filled her eyes.
Now, her heart was broken and her eyes were dimmed.
Unfortunately, back then when facing her, the man’s face lacked the tenderness that he had now.
Anderson’s gaze fell on Catherine, who was standing aside. She was wearing a long black dress with suspenders. Her lipstick was bright red. She looked like an elf in the dark night.
Noticing that Anderson was looking at Catherine, Johanna whispered to ask, “Mr. Clark, do you know this lady? I was in a hurry to meet you, so I accidentally bumped into her.”
“I’m sorry, Miss Johnson.” Johanna bowed and apologized to Catherine sincerely. “I don’t know who Isabella was that was mentioned by you, but I guess she must have parted from you for some reason. Please don’t worry. If you have fate, you’ll meet again.”
Upon hearing her words, Catherine laughed. Looking up at Anderson, she said, “Miss Scott, you’ve misunderstood. That woman is dead. I’m not the one who wants to meet her the most.”
Anderson’s face became cold. He snapped, “Catherine Johnson!”
Johanna’’s face was stiffened.
Laughing, Catherine turned around, hailed a cab, and sat in.
Anderson watched her disappear in the dark.
Johanna held Anderson’s arm like a little girl. “Mr. Clark, aren’t we go in?”
Anderson returned to his senses and said in a deep voice, “Let’s go. I’ll tell the crew not to keep you so late in the future.”
Johanna frowned deliberately. Shaking Anderson’s arm, she played at being cute. “Mr. Clark, thank you for your kindness, but this scene should be shot at night. I’m an actress and that’s what I should do. I’m not afraid of working so late.”
The smile on Anderson’s face became deeper. He answered dotingly, “All right. All up to you.”
Catherine was sitting in the taxi. Looking at their intimate backs, she felt a bit upset.
The gossip between Sienna and him had lasted for a long time, but he didn’t respond at all.
Catherine was confused earlier, wondering why he didn’t respond.
It turned out the reason was the girl who was named Johanna.
She could tell that Anderson’s gaze on this girl was exactly the same as his gaze on Isabelle back then.
In the next few weeks, Johanna’s name had occurred frequently in Catherine’s life. Her news was spread everywhere online.
When she turned on the TV, she could see the TV programs acted by Johanna or the variety shows that Johanna joined.
When Anderson wanted to dote someone, he could try every means. When the girl was interviewed, she told the reporters that she had a crush on someone with a sweet smile…
Catherine turned off the TV. She straightened her up, planning to see Sophia and Lincoln in Jiaye International Elementary School. When she arrived downstairs, she saw Owen standing at the elevator door.
