Chapter 18 Sudden Events (Revised)

  After signing Harry Potter, Catherine's mood improved.

  This slow-burning film has gradually caught people's attention, and Catherine has also gained a group of fans without realizing it.

  Right in the midst of joy, Christmas has also arrived.

  And Edson's family trip to Seattle is about to begin.

  Seattle is the largest city in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, located between Puget Sound and Lake Washington in King County of the state of Washington, about 174 kilometers from the US-Canada border.

  At the same time, the city also has a good nickname: Emerald City.

  Seattle's main attractions are three major parks: Rainer National Park, Green Lake Park and Highway Park.

  But what Emma muttered most was not this, but the Pacific Northwest Ballet - which is also one of the main ballet companies in the United States and even the world.

  When the plane landed at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, the weather had already started to get quite cool and it was unclear whether or not it would soon be snowing.

  It was said that the weather warmed up a bit before it snowed, but Catherine never felt what people called "warm".

  In 1962, Seattle will host the World's Fair, so the city is currently undergoing a transformation.

  In some sense, the importance of World Expo far exceeds that of the Olympic Games.

  It was just two years later.

  Catherine walked down from the plane, through the hall, along the stairs and corridors out of the airport.

  Although she was wearing a miniskirt, it was well covered up by the winter windbreaker she wore over it.

  "Get out."

  But Catherine's mood was not good.

  She never thought that Emma's Christmas gift to herself would be her own company's "Winter Suit".

  Although it can't be said that she has "grabbed" a fortune, Catherine has also seized the business opportunity.

  So she thought of launching a winter suit, letting fashion-conscious girls keep up with the pulse of the times.

  So-called winter outfit, is actually a double-layered ultra-short skirt, then a long-sleeved shirt, a white sweater vest, and also a pair of woolen knee-high socks.

  Of course, this kind of clothing can only be worn indoors even in winter. If you wear it outdoors, then you really have to give up warmth for style. However, after adding a windbreaker outside, it's much better. And Catherine didn't just add one piece of clothing.

  In fact, she now feels completely warm and even a bit hot.

  But if I were to say Catherine felt good... that would be a sigh of relief.

  Although Catherine guided Lisa to design a super short skirt, it doesn't mean that Catherine likes it. In fact, if she didn't know that Lisa was the president of the fashion club, she wouldn't have thought of this trendy idea.

  Although wearing a skirt feels very comfortable, Catherine always feels a sense of unease.

  It's as if I've been completely seen through.

  There was nothing below, and then it opened up completely, a feeling that Catherine found somewhat unbearable.

  Catherine also knew it was psychological, but she just couldn't overcome it.

  "Hmm... Let me think, we'll go to the hotel and drop off our luggage first, then go eat a meal, and then..."

  Bruce stared at the map of Seattle, thinking about forming.

  "According to plan, we should go see the Pacific Northwest Ballet's performance first," Emma added.

  Bruce shrugged.

  So, for the whole day, the three of them spent their time inside the theater.

  Until night returned to the hotel, this day was over.

  Emma and Bruce were both exhausted lying in bed.

  The former was due to excitement, while the latter was because of accompanying Emma to watch ballet.

  Catherine was in good spirits because she slept soundly for an entire afternoon at the theater.

  She rubbed her legs together, feeling a bit uncomfortable.

  One thing that's bad about being a woman is that every month there are those few days, and then Catherine was honored to discover that she had forgotten to bring the key things.

  "I went to the supermarket to buy some things." The hotel was warm but a bit stuffy.

  "Don't go too far."

  "I know."

  How can't she understand such simple truth?

  But Catherine didn't take it to heart.

  Seattle is much safer than New York. Although New York is the financial center of the United States, it was very chaotic until the late 1980s when things started to improve gradually. The current New York actually doesn't give people a good impression.

  Walking on the streets of Seattle, Catherine felt a vibe that was completely different from New York, and it was so comforting.

  Although she has been in this world for 12 years, Catherine has only been to New York and a few nearby states. In the western United States, she really hasn't seen it yet.

  Seattle was founded relatively late and is now just over 90 years old. At night, it's not as bright as New York.

  Catherine was very careful, she only walked on the main streets and didn't go into alleys. There were many cases of violent assault in the US, resulting in a number of deaths, so Catherine was being quite cautious.

  But in fact, even on the main street, it doesn't seem so safe either.

  Catherine soon discovered that she was being followed by three men behind her.

  That's right, they're following themselves!

  Catherine pretended not to notice.

  Although it was a main street, there weren't many people around, Catherine calmed down and then recalled the places on the map where crowds might gather.

  Then Catherine suddenly ran!

  And at this time, the people behind also suddenly caught up, it was clear that their target was Catherine!

  But how could a girl's physical strength possibly be a match for three big men?

  They soon drew near, but by this time Catherine had also caught sight of a figure in front.

  "Sir! Please save me!" She ran over.

  Those three people looked at someone opposite them and seemed to hesitate for a moment.

  But soon they came up with a sly smile.

  They noticed that the man beside Catherine was a small and slender-looking yellow-skinned person.

  "Alright, little girl, let's have a good time together, I'm fine, you're fine, got it?"

  They pulled out their daggers.

  "What are you doing?"

  “What－are－you－doing?”

  Just four words in English, yet they were music to Catherine's ears.

  This man is obviously ready to help, what a lifesaver!

  But she looked in that direction and saw only a frail figure.

  Then she became even more desperate.

  ……

  Guess who added the bonus, there was a hint in the title of the previous article.
