Catherine's POV

After Emily left, I felt so upset that I suddenly didn't want to do anything.

"Catherine, you're here! I've been looking for you everywhere. A lot of things are pending your supervision. Hurry!" When Melinda's assistant saw me, she was greatly relieved.

I pulled myself together. I shouldn't waste my time thinking about Blake. I had to do my job. It was all I had.

I had the urge to call Blake and confront him.

But I didn't want to lose my self-esteem like this. I did not dare to question him, but I could avoid him.

Yet I was obviously absent-minded for the following work.

Melinda came over and asked me, "Cathy, what's wrong? You don't look well. Are you sick?"

I quickly cheered myself up and said, "No. I'm just a little tired."

"Why don't you go to the lounge next door and get some rest? I'll help you keep an eye on here." Melinda said with concern.

I looked at Melinda with gratitude and said, "Thank you, Melinda."

Melinda couldn't help but smile, saying, "Stop it. There's no need to thank me. Just go!"

I sat in the lounge, sprawled on the sofa, my eyes fixed on the ceiling.

All the crazy thoughts filled my head, and none of them were about work.

I was so naive and inexperienced. He weaved a beautiful dream, and I fell into it, leaving no way out.

I took two deep breaths. Suddenly, I heard the phone in my purse ring.

My body stiffened, and I quickly sat up straight. I stared at the bag in panic.
