    Linda didn’t notice Catherine all the way. Sitting on a window seat, she peered out of the window.

    Gradually, she thought about Finnley and Mya in his bed.


    She was jealous and upset.


    When the bus arrived at her destination, Linda returned to her senses and got off the bus. Catherine


    followed her.


    Under the beautiful sunset glory, Linda walked toward her rented apartment without looking back.


    She was exhausted. Since Finnley was on vacation, she had to deal with more tasks. She went


    upstairs and downstairs more than 20 times and took the minutes for several meetings.


    Her apartment was far away from downtown. Her shadow was elongated on the ground by the sunlight.


    Finally, Linda noticed a shadow behind her. She stopped mid-step, and so did that shadow.


    ‘Am I stalked?’


    Her heart tightened. Linda inwardly told herself not to fear as it was still the daytime.


    She plucked up her courage and turned around. Then she met Catherine’s calm gaze.


    Linda was taken aback as Catherine was supposed to be in Roxy Fall.


    If it were before, she would greet Catherine dearly. However, for some reason, she got a lump in her


    throat.


    They looked at each other in silence.


    “Hi, Linda,” Catherine walked up and greeted her apologetically to break the ice.


    Linda calmed down, looking less awkward. However, she didn’t know what to speak.


    “Linda, I don’t want to lose a friend like you. I returned from Roxy Fall to see you,” Catherine exined,


    “My design team is still there. I came to you deliberately. In fact, I haven’t slept well for a few days.”


    Her words made Linda feel guilty.


    Five minutester.


    They found a coffee shop nearby. It was shabby but quiet.


    Catherine and Linda sat face-to-face at the table. They ordered two tiramisu and two cups oftte, all


    paid for by Catherine immediately.


    “Linda, I’m sure you must have something in your mind.” Catherine knew her well. “I also knew you’d


    changed your impression of me.”


    “Catherine,” Linda interrupted gently, “You represent the R-n Group. We shouldn’t have met.”


    Catherine looked into her eyes and was startled. “Sometimes I feel you’ve overthought. You are


    bothering yourself.”


    Linda didn’t answer.


    Then Catherine continued sincerely, trying to convince her, “Linda, do you know how sad I felt when


    you wired the money back to me?”


    “Did you want to break off our friendship?”


    “Do you know how worried I was when I heard your mother was sick? I put away my work and


    contacted the experts. Then I went to your hometown to get everything arranged and apanied you


    to the hospital while your mother was operated on. Why did I do those things? I thought you were my


    real friends.”


    Linda picked up her coffee mug. Suddenly, she felt upset, tears welling up in her eyes.


    “We are closer than you and Jennifer Brooks,” Catherine reminded her gently, “After you graduated


    from college, you worked for me. Remember the day when you went to the Marsh Group for a job


    interview? You lost the temporary badge and were stopped by the security guards.”


    Linda recalled what had happened that day, feeling touched.


    She had to admit Catherine was the first person who helped her immensely in her career life.


    If she hadn’t met Catherine, she would never have worked for the Marsh Group.


    Catherine didn’t want Linda to thank her but reminded her, “Linda, can you guarantee to work for the


    Marsh Group all your life? Do you think you’ll be a friend of Ivan Marsh and Jennifer Brooks?’


    Linda couldn’t answer her questions.


    Catherine picked up her coffee mug and continued gently, “Only I will treat you as my friend forever.”
