Female Novel
Chapter 532 Catherine’s Appointment with Linda
After having three cigarettes, Catherine made up her mind.
It was the first time that she had smoked, yet she had not the slightest uncomfortable feelings. She felt
addicted, like an old smoker. It seemed to be the only way to get paralyzed.
After finishing a bottle of wine, Catherine leaned back on the sofa a little wearily.
She stared blankly at the ceiling, and the warm pictures she saw through the live broadcast tonight
flashed in her mind. Tears welled up in her eyes.
Catherine felt abandoned, fooled, and betrayed.
After a while, Linda's image came to her mind again.
Linda cleaned up her room and the wine cabinet without being asked to and filled her refrigerator with
drinks. What a loyal girl!
Catherine helped Linda, and Linda tried her best to pay back Catherine’s kindness.
Sighing, Catherine picked up her phone and called Linda.
Linda was crying in her small apartment. She needed money, but she had no idea where to get it.
She sat behind the door with her hands around her knees, helpless.
Her phone rang. She didn’t know who would call.
Wiping her tears, she took out her phone, thinking it was Jennifer calling to ask about work. But it was
an unfamiliar number.
The ringing continued...
She was in a bad mood, but she still answered, "Hello?" She tried to control her emotions.
"Linda, have you gone to the bed?" A familiar voice came over.
"Catherine?" Linda asked in disbelief, "Is it you?"
"It's me," Catherine said. "Let's meet at the Cafe at ten o'clock tomorrow morning."
"Catherine, where are you?" Linda was worried about her. "Has Leslie's people found you? Are you
safe now? I’ve told Mr. Marsh what happened to you!"
Catherine’s heart tightened. She asked curiously, "What did you tell Ivan?"
"Yes. No, I mean…" Linda explained quickly, "I said that they threatened you with a knife on your neck
and forced you to sign your name. And I also said..."
"What else?" Catherine went on asking, curious about Ivan's reaction.
"I also said that you had rejected offers from many companies."
Catherine didn't care about what Linda said, she asked eagerly, "What did Ivan say?"
"Mr. Marsh should have sent people looking for you, but I'm not sure. I don’t dare to inquire about the
progress." Linda said, "But when Mr. Marsh heard that you might be in danger, he was worried."
Worried? Really?novelbin
Catherine couldn't help laughing, her heart aching again.
Was he worried about her, or that she would be used by Leslie?
"Okay, Linda, it's getting late, good night." Catherine said to her, "Tomorrow at ten o'clock, meet me at
the cafe."
After speaking, she hung up the phone.
Linda was still sitting behind the door with her phone in her hand. She hugged her knees, thinking
about whether to borrow money from Catherine tomorrow.
If she did, she would be paying it back with her two years of salary.
That was a long time. Linda was a little embarrassed.
Online loans were too expensive.
But her mother needed treatment as soon as possible. Linda was in a dilemma.
It was not easy for her mother to bring her up. Their family was poor. Her mother suffered a lot and now
she should be finally enjoying life a bit, instead of being sick.
Linda couldn't watch her mother die without doing anything.
At night. Finnley's apartment was as clean as a hotel room.
Under the warm yellow light, Mya went to the bathroom for the 11th time.
Her stomach became more and more uncomfortable. She had been drinking warm water, yet the pain
was still unbearable.
Opening the bedroom door, she found that Finnley was not in the living room, but his shoes were still at
the door.
She walked towards the study with doubts and saw him under the warm light.
Finnley was sitting at the desk in front of his laptop, doing something that she didn’t know.
Mya knocked on the open door.
Finnley looked over, "Why are you still up?"
