There was really no rush. Catherine had given her two million, which was enough for her to spend.
Putting down the phone, she picked up the design draft and looked at it before she began to design.
After a while, there were footsteps at the door.
Catherine looked over and met Leslie’s eyes. Leslie asked, "You are still working?”
"I’m getting off work after the design is finished." Catherine looked down and said in an aloof manner.
From where Leslie was standing, he looked down and could see her cleavage. He couldn’t help but feel restless.
Leslie sighed, walked around the table to her side and with one hand on the table, he said in a gentler voice, “Are you still angry?”
"Why should I be angry?" Catherine was still indifferent.
"I didn’t want to urge you," Leslie explained, "I’m not saying that it was wrong for you to go to the Roxy Waterfall. I was just a bit anxious seeing how fast the Marsh Group is moving. They seemed to be wining.”
"You think I’m not anxious?" Catherine looked up at him, "You should leave now. You are interrupting my thoughts.” Catherine didn’t want to talk to Leslie about anything other than work.
"Alright, alright. Just don't be mad at me." Leslie seemed gentle with her, "Go back home early and have some rest. Health is more important than anything. I know we can’t rush into things.”
Catherine did not speak. She did not intend to talk to him, a man who killed his wife right after divorce. How cruel and heartless was that?
After a few seconds of silence, Leslie got bored and left.
As soon as Leslie left, Catherine suddenly was in no mood to design. She sighed and thought of the nightmare she had had of Leslie on top of her in bed.
She knew what kind of person he was, which was why she needed to keep a distance from him.
Catherine did change, but she wouldn’t degrade herself into turning into someone like Leslie.
It was getting late.
After going back home, Shirley had a sleepless night. She had been tossing and turning in bed, but unable to fall asleep.
