Kathryn wasn’t concerned about what Holden and Marco were saying. She could guess—they were likely cursing her.
She asked Pedro to take her back to the office.
As soon as she returned, she poured herself a cup of warm water. But before she could take a sip, her secretary called to say that Liberty had arrived.
“Please, let her in,” Kathryn replied.
She hadn’t expected Liberty to visit so soon. It wasn’t likely about asking her to step down; it was probably to show concern.
A few minutes later, the secretary brought Liberty in. “You can go back to work,” Kathryn told the secretary.
After the door closed, Kathryn looked at Liberty for a moment and said, feeling uncertain, “Liberty, I don’t know how to face you.”
“Don’t worry, I’m not here to hurt you,” Liberty replied calmly, sitting on the sofa. Kathryn smiled bitterly. “Killing me would only dirty your hands.”
Even her own mother and cousins hadn’t wanted to handle her directly, thinking it would be beneath them.
“What would you like to drink?” Kathryn asked.
“I haven’t been sleeping well, and I’m exhausted. If you have coffee, I’ll take a cup,” Liberty said.
Kathryn set her water aside. “Okay, I’ll make some coffee for both of us. I need it too.” She hadn’t been sleeping well either, relying on coffee just to get through the days.
After a little while, Kathryn returned with two steaming cups of coffee.
Seeing Liberty take off her coat, Kathryn asked, “Are you warm? I can turn down the heater.”
Liberty replied lightly, “No, I’m just hot from coming in from outside.”
“Do I look awful?” Kathryn asked. She was dressed plainly.
Liberty, being honest, said, “Not as good as usual.”
