FreeNovelLinda 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.

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 had figured that she hadn't had any food, as there was no smell of food in the air.
Five minutes later.
In a restaurant downstairs, Catherine ordered two dishes and sat across the table from Linda.
Just as Catherine was about to say something, her phone suddenly rang. She took it out and saw that it was Leslie.
She avoided letting Linda see the caller ID, answered the phone and said, "I'm busy. I'm with a friend and | will talk to you at work.” Seeing that her attitude was nice, Leslie didn’t get angry, "Good." He hung up the phone and got up from Catherine's bed.
He hurt his back last night and it took him a while to get up.
In the restaurant.
Catherine put down her phone, drank a mouthful of milk, and asked bluntly, "You don’t work for the Marsh Group anymore. How are you going to prove your worth of two million to me? Have you ever thought about it?" She finally broke it up to her. Of course, there could never be a free meal in the world Linda had thought about this, "The silver case is in the company and | couldn't touch it.” "So?" Catherine had thought about it, of course.
"There are going to shoot a promotion video and the spokesman will wear the real jewelry, right?" said Linda. "They will take out the silver case.” "Where are they shooting it? How much do you know?” Linda replied, "The spokesperson is Spencer, and he will choose the heroine himself. | don’t know who it would be. | overheard Mrs. Marsh on the phone the other day, she said that they would shoot the promotion video on a day with a nice weather and on a cruise.” "A cruise?" Catherine thought about it. She had been observing Linda when she was talking and could be sure Linda was loyal to her now.
"Yes. But | don't know if there will be a change of plan.” "There won't be." Catherine thought it was a nice idea to shoot the video on a cruise. "What does the case look like?” Linda hesitated for a few seconds, looked up and said, "It's a silver case and | know the password.”
