Linda left alone with jealousy. Just as she walked out of the lobby on the first floor and was walking toward the bus stop, she saw a familiar car parked not far away.
At this point, Catherine, sitting in the driver’s seat, saw her come out and walking over.
She calmly threw the cigarette in her hand out of the windoe and sounded the horn.
Linda was startled. The window was rolled down and she met Catherine’s eyes.
"Get in the car, Linda!”
Linda inexplicable felt nervous, she looked around, hesitated for a while before she got into the car.
Catherine quickly drove away. "Where do you want to go for dinner? I'll treat you today." She sounded relaxed.
"Ms. Collins, why are you here?”
"Can’t I be picking up a friend after work?" Catherine looked at her and asked with a smile. "I got off work early today and have no friends in R-Alan to have dinner with, so I thought of you.”
Linda looked a little embarrassed.
Catherine seemed to be in a good mood. "I know a place that serves delicious steak. Would you like to try it?”
She really had nothing else? Linda was somewhat doubtful about it.
She didn’t answer.
The y soon arrived, and Catherine took her into the upscale restaurant.
Seeing her in doubts, Catherine said, "Don't worry, I have coupons and it will not cost me much money.”
Linda followed her, hesitating, "Ms. Collins, I'll pay you 200,000 back first, and I will pay the remaining 50,000 in installments.”
"Why?" Catherine suddenly looked back at her. "Why don't you pay Jennifer back first? I thought we had talked about it.”
Linda looed a little embarrassed, not knowing how to explain.
