NovelEnglishCatherine's words made Linda feel sorry for her.
Linda thought she had gone too far and started to have a self-reflection.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThat was Catherine's strategy. After all, she was more than 15 years older than Linda and had experienced ups and downs. She had hit Linda's raw nerves.
“How's it going between you and Finnley Russell?” Catherine changed the topic. Her tone was soft and caring, making her sound like a true friend. “You cannot share this matter with other friends, so you have to burden all the feelings, don’t you?” As she expected, when she mentioned Finnley, Linda thought about Mya. A disappointed look appeared on Linda's face, and a sharp pang raised in her heart.
Catherine sipped the latte and sighed helplessly, “Life only bullies the poor, and so does love.” Linda lowered her head humbly.
“Keep this.” Catherine suddenly passed a bank card to her. “There are 400 thousand dollars in the card. All yours.” Linda widened her eyes while staring at her in disbelief. “What do you mean, Catherine?” She had never seen so much money before.
“Nothing special. Spend the money to dress yourself up, learn Yoga, work out, and study foreign languages. You need to polish yourself. Buy high-end clothes and high heels. Get your hair done. Make yourself glorious.” A smile touched Catherine's lips.
“You should make Finnley Russell pay attention to you, appreciate your charm, and like you.” Linda was shocked, but accepting the card was against her principles. “I cannot accept it.” “Then you'll be destined to be a humble girl all your life.” Catherine went straight to the point. “Upon your current salary, you have to return 40,000 dollars to Jennifer Brooks. If not mistaken, | guess you also have borrowed another 10,000 dollars. You need to save money for two years to pay all the debt, don’t you?” She seemed to read Linda's mind thoroughly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCatherine changed her tone to brainwash her. “Linda, the youth comes and goes quickly. Although the money in this car sounds like a huge figure to you, it's just a drop in the bucket for me.” She sipped the latte and continued, “I can spend it on charity. Let alone you are my friend.” “Linda, I only wish you could lead a better life. Get yourself a famous watch. It'll increase your temperament,” Catherine said, “In the future, stop wearing the sneakers that only cost ten bucks. Buy some high heels. Each outfit or pair of shoes should at least cost 1,000 bucks. The quality is completely different than the cheap ones.” “People always say never judge a book by its cover, but | disagree.” Catherine chuckled and sipped the latte. “Men are visual animals. They look upon the first impression of the women. It takes time for them to notice the women’s inner worlds.” Her words utterly fluctuated Linda's calm mind.
“You can register for some classes or study at home to increase your knowledge,” Catherine added, “But you need to change your appearance first to impress Finnley Russell.” However, Linda wanted to give up. “Mya has moved into his apartment.” It seemed to be the biggest obstacle for her.
“Haven't you seen several couples break up after living together for years?” Catherine crossed her legs elegantly and leaned against the back of her chair. She mocked, “It happens, doesn't it?" Linda looked up at her.
They locked eyes. Catherine curled her lips. “They are together, but so what? They can fight and break up in the future. Besides, their characters don’t match. Even if they got married, they would break up soon.” mmMwWLIII0fifl0&1 mmMwWLIII0fifl0&1 mmMwWLII0fiflO& 1 mmMwWLIII0fifl0&1 mmMwWL1i10fif10&1 mmMwWLIiI0fiflO&1
