“As a medicinal herb worker!” Cathy thought for a moment and described herself in this way.

“Medicinal herb worker?”

Olivia didn’t get it.

“Yes, I am lucky to have a good boss who offered me a generous salary, good treatment, and the most delicious food at work.”

“There is a lot of food. Is it all for you?” Olivia asked, a little surprised.

Cathy shook her head. “Nope, also for the guards of the medicine land. The total amount is a lot. Il pack some and bring them home to share with my boyfriend so we can save some money.”

Cathy’s eyes sparkled as she spoke. Despite Andy having to bear a debt of 200 thousand dollars for scraping Mr. Jackson’s car, she believed that they were still young. Her current salary and benefits were also excellent. Together, they would surely be able to navigate through this challenging time.

However, the job at the medicine land was only temporary, lasting for three months. She was uncertain if Gina would require someone for this role in the future, so she needed to come up with a plan to secure this job for herself.

Olivia was taken aback. “Are you saying there are guards at the medicine land?”

She had never heard of such things.

Cathy nodded and said, “Yes, because the ones we planted are all highly valuable medicinal herbs.”

Olivia was not particularly curious at first, but now she was also intrigued. “So, how much do you make per month?”

Cathy smiled awkwardly, “12 thousand dollars…”

“12 thousand dollars?”

Olivia was astonished and dropped her fork. “Is your job challenging? Do you work long hours? Do you have many coworkers?”

“It’s not difficult. I just need to take care of that expensive medicinal herb. I need to be meticulous and wake up early. It’s not too tiring. Occasionally, I’ll take notes, It’s quite relaxing.” As Cathy said that, she felt a little embarrassed. She felt uneasy about receiving such a high salary..

Gina had emphasized the importance of being meticulous and avoiding mistakes when working with the precious medicinal herb, as any errors could cause significant delays. Cathy, therefore, felt nervous and anxious about the possibility of making a mistake.

“I don’t have any colleagues, and I don’t have much work to do either. I can handle everything by myself. However, this 12 thousand dollars isn’t entirely for taking care of medicinal herbs. It also includes my salary as a nurse.

“Cathy didn’t hide anything from Olivia.

“Where do you work as a nurse?” asked Olivia,

“Prover Hospital.”

”

Olivia’s expression changed. “Did the hospital arrange for you to plant medicinal herbs?”

“No, it’s a private request,” Cathy said. She then recalled that Gina had instructed her to keep the matter of her helping someone plant medicinal herb a

Cathy thought that if Olivia asked whose request it was, she wouldn’t answer. However, when Olivia heard that it was a private request, she didn’t ask for more details.

At this moment, Andy returned and was surprised to se

see Olivia. “Cathy, do we have a guest? Is that your friend?” he asked.

“She is Olivia, our new neighbor, Cathy said to Andy.

When Olivia first met Andy, she immediately sensed that his gaze towards her was not genuine. Sadly, Andy, much like Mason, was financially unstable and considered a loser. Olivia had no interest in him whatsoever. Otherwise, she might have considered trying to manipulate or seduce him for her own

benefit.

“I’ve finished eating. I’m going to leave,” Olivia said as she stood up.

Cathy nodded. “Alright.”

you grow medicinal herbs? I’m really interested

Before Olivia left, she had a thought and decided to speak privately with Cathy. “Can you show me where you g in learning more about your work.”

Cathy responded, “I’m sorry, my boss doesn’t permit me to bring guests there…”

Olivia understood and didn’t show much of a reaction. “Okay,” she simply replied.

She felt that Cathy was either lying and trying to impress her intentionally, or she was pretending to be mysterious to flaunt her high-level job.

“You are just a worker. What are you even smugging about?’ Olivia thought.

Perhaps the 12 thousand dollars was made up too.”

Olivia thought as she walked.

When she returned to her rented apartment, Olivia couldn’t shake off the thought of the 12 thousand dollars salary that Cathy had mentioned. Intrigued, she made up her mind to investigate further.

The next day.

At 4 in the morning, Cathy was getting ready for work. Since Cathy had mentioned to Olivia that she needed to wake up early, Olivia also woke up early. Moreover, the soundproofing in the neighborhood was not very effective. Upon hearing the noise, Olivia waited for a moment and then stealthily followed Cathy.

Cathy was unaware that someone was following her to the medicine land. After exchanging greetings with the guards there, she proceeded to her work.

Olivia was eager to follow her in, but with high walls surrounding the area from all sides, she had no opportunity to sneak in.

However, Olivia was not willing to leave just like that. She wanted to replace out what was Cathy’s job.

there was a high-paying job that required little work and skill, why couldn’t she replace Cathy?

Before Olivia could replace a way to sneak in, the guards caught sight of her.

“Who is there?”

Olivia realized she had been discovered. She turned and ran, but how could she outpace the well-trained bodyguards? They swiftly closed the distance and tackled Olivia to the ground, showing no mercy as she tasted a mouthful of mud.

“Why are you doing here?”

Olivia spat out the mud in her mouth. “Nothing. I’m just passing through!”

The medicine land was situated in a secluded area with no one around. Naturally, the guard did not believe Olivia’s nonsense. “Do I look like a fool?”

Just then, the guard’s colleague rushed over and exclaimed, “What’s going on? Miss Miller has arrived.”

When she heard the words “Miss Miller,” Olivia’s heart s k i p p e d a beat. Could it be that the owner of this parcel of medicine land was….

No, that couldn’t be. It must be a coincidence!

Olivia swallowed nervously. The guard looked at her and said, “Let Miss Miller know that I have apprehended a woman who is suspected of being a thief.”

Without saying another word, the guard forcefully escorted Olivia to the surveillance booth.

Olivia was ushered into the surveillance room, where Gina was watching Cathy through the surveillance camera as she worked in the medicine land. Cathy’s focused and serious expression confirmed to Gina that her choice was correct.

Cathy was indeed very suitable for this job.

When Gina heard the sound, she turned back and saw Olivia, who looked like a mess

As soon as their eyes connected, Olivia’s heart sank. This piece of land for the med cine was actually owned by Gina. And Cathy’s boss was Gina.

Norwood was so small!

Olivia sneered

The guard interjected, saying, “Miss Miller, this woman was spotted lingering near medicine land in a suspicious manner. It seems like she may be here to observe and wait for an opportunity to steal medicinal herbs.”

“Ididn’t!” Olivia retorted.

Gina frowned slightly and asked Olivia, “How did you replace this place? Who brought you here?”
