Chapter 1292 - Chapter 1292 Chapter 397 Change Right Here_2

Chapter 1292: Chapter 397: Change Right Here_2 Chapter 1292: Chapter 397: Change Right Here_2 Leonard Churchill responded with a noncommittal smile and accepted, “Sure.”

It wasn’t a troublesome request, so of course he wouldn’t refuse.

He had also promised Ivan a nice meal.

“Thank you.”

Catherine Carter nodded with satisfaction.

The atmosphere in the room returned to its previous relaxed state.

One person read a book while the other sat nearby.

The presence of an old friend, even in silence, felt harmonious.

Their relationship was more like that of close allies.

They could be unguarded around each other, share all their secrets, and trust one another with their lives…

They had always enjoyed such a pleasant relationship, advancing together to this point.

Leonard knew that Catherine’s most important thing in her heart was certainly her grand ambition.

Everything else came second to that.

And Catherine also knew that her friend Leonard was quite unique.

It was because of this mutual understanding and recognition that they found each other’s company so enjoyable.

…

The two spoke of their respective experiences over the past while, and time swiftly passed until it was afternoon.

“Knock, knock, knock…”

Suddenly, there came a knock on the door.

From outside, a maid’s voice reported, “Miss, General Logan has arrived. Are you ready to prepare for the banquet now?”

There were still two hours until the banquet, but it took a substantial amount of time for a noble lady to dress up.

Catherine responded, “All right!”

At that moment, four young maids entered the room.

They looked at the unfamiliar man in the room; their expressions changed little, but their eyes couldn’t hide their surprise.

After all, their young mistress had never before had a man in her room.

Catherine said, “Rita, help me prepare the white dress.”

As she spoke, she added, “And also, the suit beneath that dress, take it out and help Mr. Leonard Churchill change into it.”

It was only then that Leonard knew the noble lady of the Lionheart family had even prepared an outfit for him.

The lead maid with brown hair replied, “Very well, Miss.”

After giving her instructions, Catherine turned back to Leonard, chuckled, and said, “It was made to fit you. But it’s based on your size from our last encounter…”

As she spoke, she looked over him as if gauging something, and muttered, “It seems you’ve gotten more robust lately; I’m not sure if it will fit.”

“Hmm. As long as I can wear it, it’s fine.”

Leonard wore an indifferent expression on his face.

It wasn’t long before the four maids had everything ready.

The study and the dressing room were separated by just one door, which allowed him full view.

He had to admit, seeing a noble lady preparing for a banquet was quite an eye-opener for him.

The maids prepared the vanity, and just the jewelry boxes alone numbered in the dozens. Opening them revealed shining jewelry and accessories; luxurious shoes lined up like in an exhibition across several cabinets; makeup products scattered, resembling an alchemist’s workbench, with colorful bottles and containers everywhere…

Seeing Catherine and Leonard still in the study, maid Rita tentatively asked, “Miss, would you like to change and do your makeup now?”

Catherine promptly stood up and replied, “Yes, that’s fine.”

With that response, the maids’ expressions clearly changed. They glanced fleetingly around, their peripheral vision occasionally catching what was behind the desk.

After all, there was still a man in the room.

Leonard, of course, noticed and pretended he was about to leave, “I’ll go for a walk.”

“No need to trouble yourself. Since you need to change into your outfit anyway, we might as well do it here together.”

Catherine was completely unconcerned, giving him a sidelong glance, her eyes teasingly saying, “It’s not like you haven’t seen me change before. Why be modest now?”

“…”

Leonard read her expression and couldn’t help but smile and shake his head.

Some of these maids were certainly spies for her mother. They had been planning this since they first toured Machinery City together.

Since she put it that way, Leonard had no qualms about it.

It wasn’t the first time for such a scene anyway.

Neither of them minded.

Catherine was especially nonchalant about it, and after speaking, she walked straight to the dressing room.

As she did, she began unbuttoning her military uniform, and a maid helped her remove her coat and hang it on a clothes stand to the side.

Then, under the puzzled gazes of the maids, Catherine unbuttoned her shirt and took it off nonchalantly as if no one was around.

Large expanses of fair skin were exposed to the air, the crystal light reflecting off her skin, giving it the luster of white jade.

The maids were still a bit dazed, but Catherine had already reached back to unfasten her lace bra without any hesitation. With a pinch and a slack, she revealed her entire upper body unabashedly to a certain someone’s view.

Following that were the neatly pressed service trousers, and then even more personal and intimate relics were removed, one by one.

Catherine’s movements lacked any shyness as she naturally undressed completely.

Even though she had her back to the study, a mere glance up would provide a view of that graceful silhouette.

However, even though she didn’t mind, Leonard knew how to behave properly and refrained from impolitely watching Catherine’s changing process.

Clearly, the maids were also somewhat perplexed, unsure how to handle this unprecedented situation.

No one was attending to him, so he continued reading the classic books.

Soon after, the sound of running water ceased, and Catherine emerged from her bath. The maids got busy again.

He couldn’t see her from his angle in the study, but Leonard didn’t focus his gaze there anyway and casually continued perusing the classic books.

Only the rustling sounds of dressing lingered, continuing for quite some time.
