Chapter 53 - Cathy Couldn't Forget Vincent's Gaze

The event went smoothly that night. Katleen Morse's sexy melodic voice was terrific, and not a little that enjoyed each program presented.

After receiving news that Clarissa had left this island, Cathy breathed a sigh of relief. At least this event will end without a hitch, and she could enjoy the event along with her co-workers.

Cathy stood on the side of the hall, watching the situation. Every now and then, she would enjoy her best friend's performance. When their eyes interlocked each other, they would offer a sweet smile at each other.

Both Cathy and Kitty wanted to talk privately after not seeing each other since graduating from college. They had not seen each other in three years. Well, they were still in touch via chat or video call. But never face to face like this.

"I've heard everything." Benjamin approached her and stood beside her with a winery glass in his hand. "I'm very proud of you. Well done."

"I'm just doing my job."

"If I remember correctly, Katleen Morse was your schoolmate?"

"Yes, she was."

"Ah, I remembered it now. You asked me to include their names in the guests' list. Is this your backup plan?"

Cathy did submit a request to include the name Katleen Morse and the music band as guests. Once she got this assignment, she immediately contacted Katleen and her friends who work at an entertainment agency.

"Didn't you say I should always have a backup plan for getting things done?"

Benjamin laughed at that. He had no idea that Catherine would do it right away.

"What if there is a problem with electricity? What will you do?"

"It's easier than the foodstuff problem. We still have the power generator, so there won't be a problem if our electricity goes out."

"Oh? Then how did you get the ingredients this morning?"

"That... to be honest, it wasn't me who did it."

"..." It wasn't his niece's doing? For some reason, Benjamin wasn't too surprised to hear this.

He already heard someone using a cargo plane that brought a large truck landing at the island's airport.

Even though Cathy was very witted, she didn't have the connections of the distinctive figure. Not yet.

Cathy hasn't know yet. Because of that, he had suspected another party to be secretly helping him.

Benjamin did not know who or what that person's goal was, but Ben couldn't let himself close his eyes. He's going to investigate this guy.

"Where's Anna? I haven't seen her."

Cathy explained briefly about the incident on the ground floor. Cathy has told Anna to rest in the room with the twins.

"Something like this happened? Who is it?"

Cathy shook her head. "She just said she was Paxton. She's a woman in her mid-twenties. Taller than me and has shoulder-length golden-red hair."

Clarissa Paxton. Thought Benjamin in his heart. The only girl that has goldish-red hair in Paxton was James's daughter.

The average Paxton hair color was reddish-brown. But only Clarissa Paxton has a goldish-red hair color. In contrast with him. Benjamin's hair was black mixed with brown on both sides.

Well, he was not a Paxton family.

"Where is she now?"

"She flew off the island. That's what our security said."

Benjamin just responded with a smile, and the two of them continued to enjoy the program.

"Mr. Ben, why didn't you invite your family members?"

Benjamin did not immediately answer and greet the guests who greeted him. There were many who approached Benjamin to congratulate him, and Cathy did not press her uncle to answer her question. She was indeed curious, but if her uncle didn't want to tell her, then she wouldn't insist.

Cathy was walking around while eating her favorite sweet and remembering every face of the people here. She saw one of the little kids who had previously kissed Vincent on the cheek. Who is that little kid? Why is that child acting naturally with Vincent? Do they both know each other?

Only then did he think of Vincent. What the man said was true... a strange face had taken the photo. The person was wearing a white striped shirt and was very serious about getting his job done.

Then where is that man? Where's Vincent? She didn't see that man in here at all.

Cathy was stunned by her unusual thought. Why is she curious about that man?

No... no... she had to get the man out of her mind.

But... she ultimately couldn't get rid of the man's gaze when he first saw her when she was looking for her sister.

Why? Why? Why?

Why does her heart keep beating every time she remembers that man's gaze?

Cathy decided to go out to find someone who filled her mind. The goal was to make sure that her feelings right now was just an illusion. 

She wanted to erase her memory of those eyes from her mind as soon as possible. Therefore she would meet the man to confirm her decision. Once again, Cathy tried to convince herself. Cathy was not looking for him because she wanted to meet the man, but she wanted to confirm something.

After walking around the tenth floor and not finding him, Cathy went downstairs and looked for him in the garden area.

While passing through the lobby and walked to the backside, someone called out to her.

"Miss Catherine, someone's leaving this to you." said one of the receptionists, handing her a bottle of insects along with a white envelope.

"What is this?" one eyebrow of Cathy rose in confusion as she watched the tiny insects moving around in the bottle. Cathy could even hold the bottle with her middle finger pressing the bottle cap with her thumb on the bottom of the bottle.

Dozens of small insects were moving randomly in the bottle. What animal is this?

"I have no idea. The guy said it all of these had to go to Catherine West, who in charge of today's events."

Without asking further, Cathy opened the envelope, and an iron key fell in her hand.

Why would someone give her a key and an insect? What's this key? And again.... what are these insects for?
