Chapter 1215 Chapter 1215: Johnson led Catherine toward Belinda confidently.
"I'll leave Catherine with you for a while," he said.

Catherine blinked and smiled. “Johnson and I are fine. Why do you ask?" Bethany couldn't detect anything unusual from her reaction. She didn't want to make Catherine suspicious by asking too many questions, so she simply shook her head. "It's nothing." Catherine pursed her lips and didn't say anything else.
In truth, Catherine hadn't been happy lately, and the reason was that Johnson now had a girlfriend.
At first, she thought she would feel relieved when Johnson finally found someone. But to her surprise, she couldn't seem to stop thinking about it.
It didn't help that she would occasionally run into Zoie at school. Catherine had never paid much attention to anyone on campus before, but now, whenever she saw Zoie, she couldn't help but study her. Sometimes, she would see Zoie on the phone, smiling and chatting happily, and Catherine would wonder if she was talking to Johnson.
This scenahad happened many times.
A keen sense of frustration brewed deep inside her because of this.
It took a while, but she ultimately cto realize that she didn't want Johnson to have a girlfriend at all...

But since he was now in a relationship, he was distinctly colder and more distant toward her.
Most of the time, if she didn't start a conversation, he would simply keep silent.
She was troubled by the awkwardness between them, but she felt powerless to change the situation.
Belinda had been quietly observing Catherine the entire time. She noted the the hesitation and the struggle that crossed her face. A faint smile tugged at Belinda's lips.
It seemed that the advice she had given Johnson was working. Belinda raised her glass and clinked it lightly with Bethany's. A knowing look passed between them.
When the tcame, Mr. and Mrs. Alvarado took the stage with their daughter. After the couple welcomed the guests with their opening speech, the banquet officially began.
