The CEO’s Pet Cat

Early in the morning, Mia opened her eyes and looked to where her side had lost its temperature, recalling last night, the layers of tears slowly building up into a crystal teardrop that slowly slid down the sheets.

Glancing at the wall clock and sniffling, Mia quickly adjusted her fluctuating emotions and quickly got dressed, freshened up a little and walked out of the room.

Sitting in the dining room eating breakfast alone, thinking back on all that she had suffered for some time, Mia’s clear eyes couldn’t help but dim, and the knife and fork in her hand paused in mid-air, no longer having the slightest appetite.

The butler standing by saw Mia stop moving and handed a glass of warm milk asking in passing, “Miss Luo, is the food not to your liking?”

Seeing the butler’s thoughtful smile, Mia forced a smile up and shook her head, “No, it’s just something I was thinking about myself.”

Mia then put her knife and fork down and got up and left the table, walking with heavy steps towards the study on the second floor, “I want to be alone for a while to read, don’t come up and disturb me.”

Right now she needed a moment of silence to think about her relationship with Asher.

The butler sighed slightly and watched her fading figure leave with a worried look on her face, shaking her head uncertainly.

Opening the door to her study, Mia casually pulled an original book from the shelf and sat down directly on the floor, flipping through it as she went.

She needed something else to distract her now, even if it was this boring book that would at least take her away from the hopelessness of reality for a while.

The mobile phone placed in her pocket suddenly vibrated, Mia put down her books and pulled out her mobile phone, as soon as she saw the name on the caller ID her small white face went pale.

Biting her bottom lip tightly, Mia pressed the answer button with trembling fingers, “Hello, Dean …”

Things can’t be that coincidental …

“Mia , what took you so long to answer the phone?” Dean’s voice sounded a little rushed.

This made one of Mia’s hearts beat even harder and her fingers holding the phone whitened slightly, “Dean, is there something you wanted to see me about?”

“Mia , I just …” For some reason, Dean’s voice was a little swallowed.

“Dean, what’s wrong with you?” Mia’s eyebrows knitted together in confusion.

“Mia , actually, actually, that thing last time was a misunderstanding … me and you …” After a long time, Dean finally broke off and told Mia the whole thing happened.

As Dean explained, Mia’s tangled brow slowly relaxed, then her face suddenly changed, her fingers holding the phone gradually felt weak, as if they might fall to the ground at any moment, her small red mouth slightly open, her wide-eyed eyes full of shock.

“Mia , are you listening to Mother Dean? Mia …” Seeing that Mia didn’t speak for a long time, Dean’s anxious voice came over the microphone.

Mia, who was lost in thought, hurriedly collected her mind, casually wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and grabbed the microphone, the corners of her raised mouth spreading a joyful smile, “Dean, I’m listening!”Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

Great, Haru’s death had nothing to do with Asher, great, Asher didn’t see it through! I really misunderstood him in the first place …

Her mind was filled with what Dean had just told her.

Reaching up to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes once again, Mia hung up the phone after a few hurried words, placed the book on her lap casually on the bookshelf, and ran down the first floor as fast as a stray arrow.

Mia looked around with excitement for the butler, and in a moment of emotion she actually called out loudly.

The housekeeper, who was busy pruning the flowers on the patio, heard Mia’s urgent shout and immediately dropped what she was doing and darted back into the living room, “Miss Luo, what can I do for you?”

Seeing the housekeeper panting, a flush of embarrassment could not help but rise to the white little face, “That … housekeeper, can you, can you call and ask if Asher will be home at noon today?”

The housekeeper glanced at the time on the wall clock and there was suppressed confusion in the bottom of his eyes, “Young master won’t be home at noon today, Miss Luo, do you have something for young master?”

“Great.” As soon as she heard he wasn’t coming back at noon Mia immediately called out with joy, “There’s still time to get ready.”

Ignoring the butler’s look of dismay, Mia turned and quickly ran for the second floor, returning ten minutes later at a gallop.

Seeing her slightly smiling face and dressed up, the butler asked with a surprised look on her face, “Miss Luo, you are …”

Mia’s little face blushed a little, but her eyes sparkled, “Butler, I’m going out to do some shopping and stop by to see Asher. don’t worry, I’ll definitely be back.”

Mia’s eyes filled with anticipation as she thought of the concerns the housekeeper might have. She was not to leave the villa without the housekeeper’s permission.

Mia’s suppressed excitement seemed to infect the butler, and after a moment of hesitation, he surprisingly nodded and said, “Miss Luo, I believe in you, you’ll be back.”

Mia froze slightly, gave the butler a deep look, and darted off towards the outside of the villa.

For the first time, she couldn’t wait to see Asher. Watching Mia’s rare lighthearted back, the butler shook her head with a smile.

Arriving at the luxurious business building where Asher worked, Mia’s heart slowly rose with an unprecedented amount of apprehension as she was led by her secretary to Asher’s office.

“Miss Luo, I’ll go in first and talk to the president …” Seeing Mia with a timid expression, the secretary said kindly.

Mia nodded, then shook her head in a panic and said with a smile, “No, I’ll just go in myself, thank you!”

After seeing the secretary off, Mia stood in front of the door for half a day before taking a deep breath and slowly pushing open the heavy glass door.

“Asher, I love you the most, you’re so good oh …” Inside the door, came a blush-inducing voice, the woman’s delicate voice clearly having trouble with the man’s demands.

Mia’s heart felt like it had been hit hard by something, her mind buzzing, but her feet couldn’t help but move inside.

On the wide, thick desk, Riina was tangled up with Asher. Not even noticing Mia who was already not far from them.

The bag in Mia’s hand slipped to the floor, her heart beating wildly as she stared at the two figures that were at her desk. She pressed desperately against her raging chest, exhaling heavily, her hands shaking slightly, her strength seemingly drained from her body, and all that was left before her eyes were the two men sitting not far away.

It seems that he really didn’t lie to himself, she was just his pet!

Riina twisted her head slightly and saw the dumbfounded Mia not far away, a complex light flashed under her flirtatious eyes as she stretched out her snake-like snow-white arms to wrap around Asher’s neck, exhaling like an orchid as she asked, “Asher, me or Miss Luo, who do you like?”

There was a few seconds of silence.

Lena asked in a petulant voice that wouldn’t let up, “Asher, tell me, people just want to know about this. Any more, people are also your girlfriend …”

Frowning slightly, Asher replied coldly, “She’s just my pet, why do you have to compare yourself to her?”

The blood on Mia’s face abruptly faded, and her body shook violently a few times, desperately covering her heart with her hands. Riina’s flirtatious, misty eyes looked over at Mia, the bottom of her eyes filled with gloating and excitement.

Suddenly, Asher looked up and saw a shaken Mia, his eyes tightened suddenly and he cursed lowly, “Damn it, what are you doing here?”

Without waiting for his reaction, Mia jerked towards the door, if she stayed any longer, she felt like she would suffocate! She knew she shouldn’t be thinking, but her rambling mood couldn’t be pulled away from what she had just seen.

Would he chase her, would he feel disappointed and angry?

Mia seemed to be thinking a lot and then nothing at all, just a soulless body running around the busy streets, completely ignoring the cars that were almost about to crash into her on the street!

A frantic Mia, however, didn’t see that immediately after he ran out, Asher was about to chase him out, only to have Riina yank her arm, “Asher, she’s just a pet, nothing will happen to her, you don’t have to worry about her!”

“Stay the hell out of here!” Coldly shaking off Leena’s arm, Asher didn’t even carefully tidy up his messy clothes as he quickly chased after her.

But where was Mia to be found?

A wave of panic rushes through Asher’s mind and he stays slightly for a while and immediately drives towards the villa. The only place Mia can go, is the villa!

However, when he walked into the villa, he found that Mia was not there at all. Looking around the empty living room, his rimless glasses behind his dark eyes floated with wild anger, and his heart, which had no ripples at the same time as he could not feel her scent, floated with a layer of fluctuation that should not be there.

“Butler!” A low growl with suppressed panic and buoyancy.

The butler didn’t dare to slow down and quickly walked up to him, looking respectfully at Asher who looked different.

Asher sat wearily on the couch in the living room, untying the tie that had bound him for the day and casually tossing it on the couch, moodily unbuttoning his shirt by two, “Where’s the woman?”

Damn, how he hadn’t expected Mia to come to his office. The thought of what might happen to Mia made his heart rise with unbearable levity and unease.

This woman, running out into the street in that situation, couldn’t be in any danger, could she?

The butler bowed his head in silence, lowering it so that he didn’t even dare to breathe.

Asher, who was already in an irritable mood, had more anger in his heart, but his ears were sharp when he heard a small rattling sound coming from the dining room.
