Catherine's POV
I woke up before the alarm even had a chance to go off. The engagement news worried me more than I wanted to admit but I promised myself that I would put my emotions in check.
Was I really expecting that Julian and I would workout?
After rolling my eyes, I got out of bed and dressed in complete silence. I chose a simple outfit that wouldn't draw attention, focused only on one goal: leaving the house before the time for breakfast bell.
I didn't want to sit at the table with any of them. Even my mother was a disciple of Richard. Jeez! They all suck!
I slipped out the side door, and for the first time, I chose to let one of Richard's drivers take me to campus.
Lucy wasn't in class for the first lecture. As much as I wanted to know why, I felt relieved about it.
