“By the way, do you think Mr. Eastwood has a crush on Ms. Collins?” one bandied about suddenly.
Others didn’t reply but looked aside.
The one who raised the topic looked embarrassed.
“Well, sometimes, you should know when to button your lip,” one coworker answered. “No matter if he has a crush on her, he wants to hit on her for sure.”
All of them knew their company president very well.
After sitting in the car, they set tongue wagging about their company president and vice president. They had left the company, so they wouldn’t be heard.
The sun was setting. The building in a high-end apartment complex was pained gold by the sunset glory.
Catherine returned home, took a shower, and wore a beige dress. Instantly, she didn’t look as tough as usual but more enchanting.
She deliberately dressed up in this way, wishing to encounter Ivan.
Her curly hair hung over her shoulders. She sat on the sofa and lit a cigarette, which was a gift from Leslie.
She took a drag and checked the cigarette box, exhaling. Since she enjoyed its smell, she wished to find the brand online.
With her legs crossed, she pulled out her phone and searched for it.
The cigarette price shocked her tremendously.
One pack cost almost 2,000 dollars. That was indeed expensive.
The next second, she calmed down and tossed the cigarette box away.
Suddenly, her phone rang. She checked the caller ID and saw Leslie was calling.
Catherine took another drag of the cigarette and swiped to answer. However, she didn’t speak.
Besides, she was willing to go there because she might encounter Ivan.
After all, Royal Nightclub was his territory.
She was correct. Ivan would be in Royal Nightclub that night.
After leaving the basement parking lot, Catherine held the steering wheel with one hand and dialed a number with the other. “Austin, how’s it going with the matter I mentioned to you?”
“Hello, Catherine.” Austin explained, “We’ll make a move in recent two days. I found two brave friends, but they’ll arrive in two days. I can guarantee they’ll do a good job.”
“The sooner, the better. Let her survive. I don’t want to kill her,” said Catherine. “After it’s done, I’ll wire you some money and help you leave Arkpool City.”
“Thank you, Catherine.” Austin promised her, “No matter where I’ll be in the future, as long as you call me, I’ll come back to town.”
Catherine chuckled, “I look for good news from you, then. I know you’ll never let me down.” Then she hung up.
