Chapter 603 - 190: Everything I Do

"Oh. That is to say. I have no choice. Probably, it is just an accident. Otherwise, Sean must stop the party," Catherine thought to herself.

Sean wanted to see the peac.o.c.k dance, so he didn't stop the party.

But actually, the university has had power cuts because of Sean.

"The next program is a comedy sketch made by students from Class 3, Law Department. Please get ready. And then Catherine Stewart from Design Department, Class 4, please get ready," added Pearl.

"Damn it," said Catherine.

"Pearl Johnson said these words on purpose. She is afraid that I will run away. Now. Everyone knows I have a program. People will laugh at me if I drop it. It is the college rule," Catherine thought to herself.

The skirt was still in Catherine's hand. Catherine thought to herself, "The power will come ten minutes later, and the program will finish twenty minutes later. Therefore, I have almost thirty minutes to practice. Although I can change into the skirt, it is too dark to put on makeup." 

"Hey, Cathy," said Sophia. She walked over.

"Sophia, do you remember the peac.o.c.k dance?"

"What do you mean? Will you dance?"

"Yes. It is the only thing I can do. And also, I get more familiar with the movements."

"Can you?"

"I think it is not a big problem. But I need your help because I forget parts of the movements of the dance."

As time passed, Catherine and Sophia talked to each other a lot, which made Catherine felt better.

"I really want to dance with you."

Sophia thought it would be better if she could dance with Catherine because they were partners and know each other very well.

"When the power comes, I will help you put on makeup. But now the most important thing is to persuade the hosts to replace the program."

Catherine knew it was impossible to persuade Pearl to change her mind, but she could ask Elliot to drop the program.

Catherine had not seen Elliot before, but she could still find him backstage. With the moonlight, Catherine saw him. But he looked annoyed. Catherine thought Elliot was probably a person with a violent temper.

"Senior Elliot."

Elliot was lazily leaning against a lamp post. When he heard the voice, he frowned and asked, "Are you talking to me?"

"Yes. I am Catherine Stewart from the Design Department, Class 4. I need your help."

"Catherine Stewart? Who are you? Oh. Wait. Wait a second."

Elliot started to look at Catherine up and down.

Catherine looks pretty, and she has a good figure.

"Are you a freshman?"

"Yes, I am."

"You are the person who is going to sing Everything I do?"

"It is not my choice. Someone forces me to sing it."

"What do you mean?"

"Let's put it behind first. Senior Elliot, can you help me?"

"No."

Catherine was speechless and then said, "You refused me directly, but you don't know what I am going to say."

"I don't think it is good for me. I don't want to have any trouble," said Elliot.

"Pearl put Catherine's name without my consent, but it is okay because it is none of my business. That's okay," Elliot thought to himself.

"It is not hard. Senior Elliot, I want to change into another program. I want to dance."

"Why should I help you?" asked Elliot.

Elliot didn't want to do something without payback.

"The only thing you need to do is to say something. It is not hard for you. Don't be cold, senior Elliot."

But Elliot didn't care about what Catherine said.

"I heard that you are helpful and kind, so I think you won't refuse me. It is not hard for you, right?"

"Stop! Don't flatter me. I am the son of a noble family, and I have my principle."

"The son of a noble family? So what? Go to hell."

"Senior Elliot, please."

"Pearl must gossip with others if I help you. I don't want to make trouble. I have to refuse."

Catherine was speechless.

Since Elliot disliked Pearl, it would be easier to persuade Elliot to cancel her performance.

Thus, Catherine added, "Senior Elliot, I have to tell you that I can't sing a note. I don't have a beautiful voice. Would you like to hear a terrible song?"

"It is none of my business."

"I have the right to refuse to hear your singing," said Elliot.

Elliot took a squint at Catherine and then asked, "By the way, did you offend Pearl?"

"Senior Elliot, you are smart."

"How dare you!"

"The person who fights against Pearl must come to a bad end. Since Pearl thinks she is beautiful and many juniors love her, she oversteps her bounds. But it is the first time that she focuses on a freshman," thought Elliot.

He was more interested in what happened between Catherine and Pearl.

"Senior Elliot, can you help me?"

"No."

"Okay," said Catherine.

Suddenly, Catherine looked solemn, walking over to Elliot.

Elliot was anxious and asked, "What do you want?"

"I am sorry, senior Elliot," said Catherine.

The attack began. Catherine tried to throw Elliot on the ground through her shoulder.

Elliot quickly dodged, "What the f.u.c.k! How dare you!"

Soon, the fight attracted people's attention. Many people turned to look at them.

Catherine hit Elliot's stomach with her knee and grabbed his hands.

Elliot had never expected that Catherine was so powerful though she looked weak.

Catherine squeezed his arms and whispered, "Senior Elliot, it is a shame for you if you are knocked down."

"F.u.c.k!"

"Yes? What are you saying, senior Elliot?" asked Catherine. She held Elliot's hands hard.

Finally, Elliot clenched his teeth and said, "Fine. I can help you."

At the same time, Elliot thought to himself, "F.u.c.k! It is payback time."

"Senior Elliot, it is good for both of us. Don't break your promise. I will come looking for you."

"You bastard."

"I am better than you, senior Elliot, though you look pretty."

Catherine thought to herself, "Hahaha. It is easy to beat him though he is taller than me. A fight solves the problem."

"It is a sneak attack. Otherwise, I wouldn't be defended," said Elliot.

Elliot hated people who said he was prettier than most women, but Catherine said that.

"Anyway, thank you, senior Elliot," said Catherine. She let Elliot go.

Iris saw them and frowned. She walked over and asked, "Catherine Stewart, what are you doing?"

"Nothing. I am talking to senior Elliot."

"Elliot Holloway?"

Elliot's face turned red. He was furious and said, "It is none of your business. Go away."

Iris was embarrassed and angry.

She thought to herself, "What? I care about you, but you are so mean to me?" 

"Catherine Aedile, I have to remind you that the party will go on, and your program won't be canceled."

"Thank you. I almost forgot it."

Iris stared at Catherine's back and said, "What a shameless woman! You start to seduce male students."
