“Thank you, Catherine. My mother is doing well after the surgery.” Linda was very grateful to Catherine.
“I’m glad to hear that,” Catherine called for a reason. So, she went straight to the point. “Are you free now? Let’s have coffee together. I’ll wait for you.” Then she hung up.
Linda didn’t even have the time to refuse.
Catherine was smart. She knew Linda must come.
But Linda didn’t want to. She was in a bad mood after being rejected by Finnley.
But Catherine saved her mother.
So, Linda could only cheer herself up, went to the next office, and took a short leave from Finnley. She didn’t tell him the reason.
Ten minutes later. Linda arrived at the café between the two groups.
Catherine was already there.
She ordered two lattes and looked at the oncoming girl with a smile, "What's wrong? You don’t look very good.”
"Nothing." Linda forced a smile and sat down across from her.
"Have you been too tired lately? You have just come back. Didn’t you take a break before going back to work?”
Linda shook her head, "I'm fine, what can I do for you? I've been a bit busy with work lately and can't stay too long.”
"Same here." Catherine smiled, "I’m just grabbing a cup of coffee. I’ll drive you back."
"No need, I'll take a taxi myself." Linda refused.
And Catherine seemed to understand something, "Oh, okay. " Linda didn’t want to be suspected of being close with Catherine.
But she could see that Linda was in a bad mood. So, Catherine carefully observed her expression, "Have you cried? What's going on?”
Linda panicked.
