Catherine handed the plate of cut steak to Linda. "Try it, the steak here is the best in the whole Arkpool.”
Linda had a pale face. "I don’t have much appetite.”
Then, she found a striking wound on Catherine’s wrist, "Ms. Collins, what's wrong with your hand?" It looked like a knife cut.
"Nothing." Catherine stared at her, her lips gently raised and she changed the topic, "No matter what, life is the most important, job isn’t. It’s not a big deal losing a job, right? I was once fired just like you and I’m doing just fine now.”
Linda pursed her lips, thinking that she needed some time to process the whole thing.
"Eat it. It won’t taste as good if it turns cold," Catherine looked back and began to cut another steak.
She seemed much more approachable now.
But Linda was still panicked, "Ms. Collins, you asked me out to dinner today. What do you want to talk to you?” Catherine was not an idle person.
"How’s the Marsh Group’s True Love series?" Catherine had no scruples now, because she thought Linda would have to work for her now, though she was of little value.
Especially, she had just saved her ass.
"The first set of finished produced came out this afternoon," Linda told her, "It was presented at the meeting that I attended. It was really beautiful, the inspiration was the four-leaf clover.”
"The four-leaf clover?" Catherine was stunned and sneered, "That is pretty cliche. So many jewelries are inspired by it.”
"It's different. It's unique." Linda remembered clearly what they looked like, "They are very delicate, the details are perfectly handled.”
"Can you describe it?”
"Yes.”
Linda was a witness, and when she saw the shining jewelry, she had had countless fantasies in her mind. She had a clear memory of them.
At the dinner table, she detailed them.
