In her apartment, Catherine stood in front of the mirror in the bathroom, smoking and staring at herself in the mirror. The woman in the mirror looked languish and strange...
There was gauze wrapped around her wrist, and the cut still hurt.
She finally became the kind of person she used to be most disgusted with. She slept with Leslie and became his woman, which meant she would have to have sex with him many times. She felt it disgusting.
Smoking the cigar Leslie brought her the other day, she sighed and just wanted to numb herself with it.
Sometimes she did think it was Ivan who ruined her life.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang, interrupting her thoughts.
Was it Leslie?
She didn't want to open the door and see him, but she was afraid of making him angry.
So, she eventually came out of the bathroom and looked out through the peephole and her heart skipped a beat.
"It's the police..." She frowned and took two steps back.
When she came to herself, she took out her phone and called Leslie.
He was in a meeting at the company now and his phone was muted, but he saw her calling. Leslie suspended the meeting, and took his phone out to answer it.
"The police are here..." Catherine whispered, flustered. "I had someone kidnapped the mayor's daughter today, the plan failed, they have been arrested and must have given me away.”
Leslie Said, "Don’t say anything. I will think of something.”
Catherine didn't know if she could believe him, but she had no other choice. She hung up the phone.
The doorbell rang again.
She put out the cigar in her hand, stood behind the door for three seconds, and calmly opened it.
"Is this Catherine Collins?" the police held the handcuffs and asked.
"Yes.”
"Please go with us.”
"Have I done anything?" She was very calm, with an innocent look.
