NovelEnglishBut Linda didn't have much time to think as only Catherine could help her now.
So she answered the phone. Before she could speak, Catherine said, "Are you off work? You didn’t forget our dinner tonight, right?” "Ms. Collins..." Linda said with sobs, “There was an accident...” Ten minutes later, Catherine arrived at the scene.
Linda could not help crying when she saw her. She had never met with such a matter before, but the five million really scared her out of her wits.
Catherine had dealt with a lot of emergencies. She used to be the vice president of the Marsh Group and was known to be a capable worker.
So Catherine calmly negotiated with the driver, who was with a bad attitude the whole time.

The 4s store should take half the responsibility.
So, in the end, Linda had to pay two million...
Hearing that, even though it was less than half of five million, it was too much for Linda.
She was so frightened that she could not speak but kept trembling.
"Give me your bank account," Catherine said to the man, "I'll pay you now and this will be settled. After that, you won't come to us for the follow-up matters.” "Ok!" the man didn’t bargain.
Then, under the surprised gaze of Linda and the test-drive person, Catherine transferred the money.
"Come on." Catherine glanced at Linda and walked to the red Bentley.
Linda didn’t lose a penny since Catherine paid for her.
Linda sat in the passenger seat. After Catherine drove for five minutes, she was still in shock.
Catherine drove the car and didn't break the silence. She looked ahead, a bit aloof.
"Ms. Collins..." Linda had mixed feelings, saying “thank you” was not enough to show her gratitude.

"It's okay." Catherine smiled and turned to look at her, "My salary is higher than yours. | will have my last month's salary soon.
Keep your money and don't pay me the two million back.” For a while, Linda did not know what to say. She felt that she owed Catherine a big favor.
All the way, she was still in shock.
Catherine took her to a French restaurant, ordered some specialties and paid the bill.
"Ms. Collins, | have resigned." Linda felt it was necessary to tell Catherine about it.
Catherine looked calm, but her heart skipped a beat and quickly thought of something.
So, she had spent two million for nothing? "| offended Mya." Linda whispered, explaining with her head down. "She slapped me, and Finnley asked Mr. Marsh to fire me.” She looked up and met Catherine's eyes and felt a bit guilty. “To leave myself some grace, | resigned before they could fire me and Mr. Marsh signed on my resignation letter readily.” “When did it happen?” Catherine asked, expressionless.
“This afternoon.” Linda saw that Catherine lowered her eyes and began cutting her steak. She had no idea what was on her mind.
Catherine was wondering what Linda was thinking. She got fired in the afternoon and was buying a new car before she even landed on a new job? Moreover, she didn't even have a driver's license and she was buying a Benz? Since when did she become such a vain woman?
