NovelEnglishLinda thought Catherine was calling. Her eyes widened when she saw the caller ID, and she almost stopped breathing.
It was Ivan Marsh.
She hurriedly picked up the phone, which was still ringing. She confirmed that it wasn't her illusion.
Before the ringing tone stopped, Linda swiped to answer, feeling uneasy, "Hello, Mr. Marsh?" She sounded lacking confidence.
"| offer you a few days off. Paid," Ivan said calmly, "Accompany Catherine Collins to help her let go of this matter. When she's better, you can return to work anytime." Linda couldn't believe what she had heard. ‘Has Mr. Marsh changed his mind?" "Are you listening?" Ivan asked.

Is it real? Mr. Marsh wouldn't fire her? "Yeah!" Linda cheered. She put on her clothes and rushed to Catherine's apartment. She even didn't forget to buy her breakfast on the way.
After pressing her fingerprint on the lock, she entered the apartment.
Seeing Catherine walking out of her bedroom, Linda asked her in a good mood, "Morning, Catherine. Had breakfast yet?" Catherine stopped mid-step, coiling up her hair. "I've just got up. Not yet. Why are you here so early?" "I bought you breakfast. Chave some. Still warm." Catherine said, "By the way, | went to see Madam Aubree last night. She promised to put on good words for you to Mr. Marsh." "Oh, Mr. Marsh has just called me." Linda smiled at her. "He askedto return to the company. Thank you so much, Catherine." "That's wonderful.” Catherine took over the food from her hands. "I can cook noodles. You can also tellthe news on the phone. You are supposed to go to work, right? What's the tnow?" "I don't need to work recently,” Linda answered. "Mr. Marsh gaveseveral days for paid leave. He askedto accompany you before you could let go." Catherine didn't believe her. Ivan would never care about her.
"You can't ask him for leaves at this critical moment. You should focus on your work." Catherine knew Ivan well. He was always decisive and determined. She guessed he had changed his mind for Aubree's sake this time.
If Ivan didn't like Linda, he could fire her again on any random excuse.
"Mr. Marsh did callearlier, Catherine. Look!" Linda found the call log and showed her. "He askedto return to work after a few more days." Catherine saw Ivan's call record but wasn't sure what on earth Ivan had said to Linda.
In her opinion, Ivan never cared about her.

"I'll take you to the recording stuwithlater. | only need to work for a short while every day. No heavy labor.” "The recording studio?" Pippa repeated in confusion. She had no idea that Jennifer was a dubber.
"I'll explain it to you on the way." Jennifer held her hand again and took her out of the house.
Her intimate behavior made Pippa shy. After all, Jennifer was supposed to be the hostess.
The driver pulled the rear door open for them.
