Holding Katrina's hands, Farrah feels that her hands, which had been covered with callouses because of her frequent assignments, are softer and smoother than before.
Since Katrina isn't willing to tell her the truth, Farrah won't ask. What difference does it make if she doesn't know the truth? As long as she is sure that Katrina is fine, she can rest assured.
Farrah takes Katrina's arm intimately as she usually does and exits the airport with her best friend. As they walk, she talks to Katrina.
""Katrina, while you were gone, your landlord contacted me and asked me if you were still going to continue renting your place. I've paid three months of your rent, but it must have gotten dusty after such a long time. It needs a good cleaning.""
When she hears Farrah's words, Katrina feels warm. ""Farrah, you're such a great friend! Thank you!""
In the midst of her captivity and plotting for her escape, she forgot that her rent was due.
""No need to thank me, you are my best friend. Katrina, I've been waiting for you to come back, and I always believed that you'd return. You're back now, aren't you?""
When Katrina sees Farrah's happy expression, a smile also appears on her pretty face. She rests her head on Farrah's shoulder.
It feels really great to have such a close friend.
Although Farrah is only two years older than her, Farrah is always sweet to her and takes care of her. Katrina often thinks that even if they are white-haired old ladies 50 years later, they will still go shopping and travel places hand in hand as they do now.
After she got a job, Katrina had moved out of her family's house and rented a one-bedroom unit for herself. Living an ordinary life alone without Sophie's hatred, Samuel's inappropriateness, and Aunt Green's scorn, she feels at ease.
Occasionally, when her Uncle Anderson is free, he asks her to come over for a meal. In the Anderson family, he is the only one who treats her like family. She loves and respects him dearly.
""By the way, Katrina, as for the Anderson family… I told them that you were sent on a special mission, and that the assignment is very important. I told them that because you signed a non-disclosure agreement, you could only contact the outside world after the assignment is over.""
Farrah understands Katrina's plight in the Anderson family. Both Sophie and her Aunt Green want Katrina to disappear as soon as possible. If they knew that Katrina was missing, they wouldn't be worried about her safety. Instead, they would make up various rumors to discredit her. This was why Farrah chose to hide Katrina's disappearance from them.
Upon hearing Farrah's words, Katrina replies happily, ""Farrah, how thoughtful you are!""
Indeed, Farrah has been her good friend for many years. As expected, the one who knows her best is Farrah.
Katrina is also reluctant to let the Anderson family know about her disappearance.
If they found out…
Sophie and Aunt Green were sure to glo
