Linda was a little nervous, but she could not ask.
After all, she couldn’t stop Catherine from doing what she wanted to do.
Linda didn't sleep well all night.
On the other side, after Catherine went back to the bedroom from the study, Leslie was already snoring in bed.
Catherine stood at the door and glanced at him before she walked back to the living room.
Neatly dressed, she opened the wine cabinet, took out a bottle of 82 Lafite, came to the coffee table and sat down.
She poured half a glass of wine into the goblet, and then lit up a cigarette Leslie had brought her the other day. The cigar was expensive for a reason.
She had been used to smoking the cigar. The smoke could always ease her mind and insomnia.
While smoking and drinking, she had a thought in mind.
The nest morning.
Linda's alarm clock rang, and she quickly got up, changed her clothes, washed her face and brushed her teeth. She put on a light makeup with expensive cosmetics.
She took her bag, wore her shoes and was about to leave the apartment when she suddenly stopped.
She had no job now... Her eyes full of loneliness.
Then someone knocked on the door.
She froze for a moment before opening the door. When she opened it, she was stunned again. "Ms. Collins?" Catherine looked as if she hadn’t had any sleep last night. She stood there with no expression on her face.
There were dark circles under her eyes and she didn’t look very energetic.
Linda opened the door and walked back into the room.
Catherine stepped in, "Are you going to go out?”
Embarrassed, Linda put down her bag and said with a wry smile, "I forgot I didn't need to work anymore.”
