'No! Impossible!'
Catherine adjusted her mood and returned to her office. Feeling starved, she pressed a boiled egg into her mouth.
She reminded herself she was suffering from anemia and had been too busy recently.
After breakfast, Catherine still felt her stomach empty and drooled while missing Leslie's cigarettes.
However, she didn't have any left in her apartment.
Then she stood up and entered the president's office.
While reporting something, Josh saw her enter and broke off. "Good morning, Ms. Collins."
Ignoring him, Catherine gazed at Leslie coldly and walked towards him. "Do you still have the cigarettes you gave to me before?"
"Why?" Leslie looked up and asked patiently. "Have you finished them all?"
"Still have it?" Catherine asked. Evidently, she didn't have the mood to explain.
Leslie answered bluntly, spinning the pen in his hand, "They are expensive. If you want to give them to others like gifts, I can't give them to you. If you want to smoke them, I have plenty."
Catherine answered indifferently, "I'll smoke them myself."
Leslie hinted at Josh, and the latter walked to a safe with a passcode, pulled out two packs, and passed them to her. "Here you go, Ms. Collins."
Catherine took them over and turned away without thanking them.
Josh felt awkward, but Leslie didn't care about it.
Even without Nora, Catherine would never escape him.

In the master bedroom, Jennifer tied the necktie for Ivan. Ivan pecked her forehead. "You've become more skilled."
"So have you."
They agreed that Jennifer tied his necktie, and he combed for her for the rest of their lives.
