Linda used to work for Catherine, so she was pretty efficient. Finnley also appreciated her working competence and didn’t mind training her.
After leaving the office, Linda bought sfruits and went to Catherine’s apartment. She pressed her finger on the lock.
Coincidentally, Catherine didn’t go to the gym today.
“Hey, Catherine. You are home.” Linda put down the fruits. “I've bought your favorite fruits.” “Had dinner, Linda?” “Yeah,” she answered, “I didn’t know you were home.” “Don’t you work overttoday?” Catherine looked spirited. “It must be difficult for you when you previously worked with me. We always worked overtime.” “Not at all,” Linda retorted with a smile, “I've learned quite a lot from you, Catherine.” Catherine could tell she was in the pink. “What's new in your life? | can feel your joy. Can you share it with me?” “Not really,” Linda denied while smiling shyly.

“Finnley Russell,” Linda gently mentioned the name. She dared not to look into Catherine's eyes, feeling uneasy.
Catherine was taken aback. Looking at her in disbelief, she couldn't utter a word.
The living room fell into dead silence.
“I don’t know if it's right or wrong.” Pressing her lips together, Linda looked up at Catherine in a panic. “I found | had different feelings for him.” Catherine didn't speak, and she was all her ears.
Linda plucked up all her courage and added, “One day, we bumped into each other. He helpedpick up the files | dropped.
Our fingers touched. | felt an electric current running through from his fingers, makingnumb.” Catherine returned to her senses. “What about him? Does he have a special feeling for you?” “I don’t know, honestly.” Linda dared not to confirm with Finnley at all.
“You have a crush on him, right?” Catherine asked bluntly.
Linda kept silent for a while and sighed, “I could be helpless for him. | expect to meet him every day. | feel energetic for him. And | feel joyful and painful because | don’t know what he thinks.” “He...” Catherine told her bluntly, “He has a fiancée.” MMMWWLIIOIfIO&1 MMMWWLIIOIfIO&1 mmMwWLLIOfiflO& 1 MMMWWLIIOIfIO&1 MULL TO £2 E1061 mmMwWLIiIOfiflO&1
