Linda was ready on her way here, so she was calm and tested to meet Catherine’s gaze.
Catherine looked at her for five seconds and assumed she wouldn’t lie to her.
Taking the jewelries from Linda, she saw at a glance that the original drill must be the best kind, far better than that of R-Alan’s.
She was impressed by Ivan’s ability to deal with emergencies. He personally went to South Africa and solved the crisis.
But Catherine had seen even better jewelries and wasn’t really surprised. She took them and asked Linda calmly, “What’s your next plan?”
Linda said sincerely, "Thank you, Ms. Collins, for your offer. But I want to take a break. I don't want to get back to work so soon. I have been working for several years, and I feel a little tired.”
Catherine understood the fatigue out of years of working, "Okay. Feel free to contact me anytime you want to get back to work." Then she stood up, "I have paid for the coffee. We owe each other nothing more.”
Linda watched her walk away as she finished her cup of coffee. At least, she had survived the first game.
The next step for her was to find a buyer for the ring and bracelet. They were expensive jewelries but she needed real money.
When she became rich, she would leave the city and start a new life. She wanted a new identity as a noble lady.
So, the first thing Linda did after she returned to her apartment was to find a buyer online.
She logged on a website and searched.
There should be a lot of collectors online who could see how valuable the jewelries were. She had to find someone who could see their worth and pay the price.
Sitting in front of the computer for two hours, she browsed through the web pages.
Linda finally found three suitable candidates, all of whom were well-known jewelry collectors in the country, who often appeared in various auctions.
Linda learned the reputation of the three online and finally, she decided a man named Aston would be the perfect choice.
Of the three, he was the most trustworthy. He was a businessman with a lot of money and with a good reputation.
While the other two had negative comments online about them.
