The CEO’s Pet Cat

Looking at the happy smile that spread across Lina’s face, Mia’s eyes instantly dimmed, her fingers that were carrying her bag clutching the leather surface, a touch of confusion tinged with sadness filling the bottom of her eyes.

“See, it’s not that I’m lying to you.” Claude looked at her worriedly, an unknown emotion in the bottom of his eyes, “Can you tell me what you came to see Asher about?”

“I… I can’t see Asher, but …” Mia took a deep breath and gathered her courage, “Let me visit his office, I have something for him. Don’t worry, I’ll only come this once.”

Claude’s deep eyes fixed on Mia’s small face and finally nodded and said, “You come with me.”

The two of them obviously liked each other, so why did they have to torture each other? If it was possible, he would want the two of them to be together.

Mia nodded slightly, gratitude and helplessness in the bottom of her eyes. Seeing Claude looking at her, she quickly ducked her head, hiding her true emotions.

“Come with me.” Claude gave her a deep look, and when he read the clarity in her eyes, he turned and walked towards the stairs, stopping when he reached Asher’s office, his deep eyes gazing at the woman in front of him, “Go on in, I’ll keep an eye out for you.”

Deep Mia smiled at him gratefully and said from the bottom of her heart, “Claude, thank you, I’ll be out soon and won’t cause you any trouble.”

With that, Mia quickly walked into Asher’s private office, viewing the surroundings lovingly, her fingers gently sliding over each corner of the desk as if it was Asher’s palm under her hands.

The look of fondness showed in her eyes, her fingertips filled with fondness stroking Asher’s picture frame, her mind couldn’t stop picturing Asher in his office here, and she couldn’t help but laugh out loud at the thought of his icy face to the staff.

Stern is really good for this man!

She laughed abruptly, but two teardrops spilled out of her eyes, and when she thought of the purpose of her visit today, Mia hastily wiped them away.

Claude stood outside the door, watching her shaking shoulders, his deep eyes slowly narrowing as he let out a long sigh, full of sympathy for Mia.

But when he remembered Asher’s icy expression, Claude scratched his hair in annoyance. If Asher knew he’d let Mia in privately, there was no telling if a layer of his skin would be peeled off!

“Is it ready?” Claude warned, leaning against the doorframe and looking around warily.

At Claude’s reminder, Mia eased her fond fingers back on the desk, letting her sadness settle and tilting her head to let the moisture rush back into her eyes. Bringing her carry-on bag to her body, she used her torso to block Claude’s view and quickly shoved the lab sheets into the drawer.

When the series of actions were complete she turned her head as if nothing had happened and gave Claude a gentle smile, completely unmistakable from the crying she had just done, “I’m better.”

Mia looked back deeply at Asher’s picture frame on her desk and finally walked slowly out of the office.

The doorway to the office slowly closed, separating Mia’s fond eyes from the air within the office, her bleary gaze looking at the door panel in front of her as she quickly turned away, not allowing herself to linger.

“Well, it’s time for me to go.” With that said, Mia didn’t even look at Claude and walked straight around his body in the direction of the stairs.

Claude stood there, his deep eyes watching Mia’s departing figure, an unknown melancholy rushing over him. Asher had been around more women than he could count. However, he had never moved his real feelings. However, when he met Mia, he realized that Asher had changed.

Perhaps, Mia is the best fit for Asher.

Wang Yuxin, who was waiting outside the door, saw Mia come out, righted her body which was leaning on the car door, and waited until she came in front of her before she spoke, “How did the talk go?”

Mia glanced up at her best friend, “I’ve left the labs in his office, everything that follows is all up to God.”

Glancing up at the top of the building, Mia then drew up short and sat down in the car.

Wang Yuxin scanned the entrance to the building, her brow furrowing unconsciously before she too got into the car, her eyes wisely shutting up at the sight of Mia’s tense face.

Claude stood at the floor-to-ceiling window, watching as the car left within sight, his tall frame just standing there motionless, his face a very rare gloomy scowl.

Mia immediately didn’t take long.

A tall enchanting figure slowly walked to the business floor, high heels stepped on the floor with a clicking sound, Riina slowly walked into the elevator under the eyes of the crowd, her heart full of dissatisfaction: really, it was so easy to have dinner with Asher, he even forgot to bring his tie clip, and had to come back to get it himself.

To show her virtuousness, she had to offer to come and fetch it for him. Seeing that he couldn’t argue with her, Asher acquiesced.

Walking past the secretary’s office and briefly stating the reason for her visit, Riina was led into the president’s office by the secretary and walked familiarly to Asher’s desk.

Remembering that Asher had a tie clip that was supposed to be in here, she bent down to open a drawer and pulled a red velvet box from it. As she was about to turn away, her eyes were suddenly caught by a piece of paper placed beneath a pressed file.

Puzzled, he held the paper in his hands… a lab slip? Was it Asher’s?

When she finally saw the name of the person who belonged to it, a vicious glint seeped out from the bottom of Riina’s eyes, her fingers holding the paper could not wait to rub it, her teeth clenched her lower lip, and just when she was about to tear the lab slip, the door of the office was suddenly opened, and Riina hurriedly hid the things in her hands behind her back.

Eyes hardened in panic at the sight of Asher entering, she tried to say something, only to see Asher’s expressionless face saying, “Didn’t I tell you not to look through my things without my permission!”

Faceless, he walked past her and casually took the velvet box sitting next to the picture frame in his hand, containing the tie clip Mia had bought for him earlier, and moved to clip it in place with a sharp motion.

Watching his movements, Leena said, “I’ve got your tie clip for you …”

Riina’s next words were swallowed hard right under the gaze of Asher’s icy stare. Asher frowned at her hands behind her back, “What is that thing you’re holding?”

Lena’s eyes took on a look of panic, but she quickly hid it as one hand came out from behind her back and a small velvet box lay in her palm, “I thought it was this tie clip you wanted.”

Looking at the velvet box in her hand, Asher’s eyes flashed with disgust for a moment, “I stopped using that one a long time ago.”

This one was bought for his birthday, and the only reason to loathe it is that the tie clip was bought for him by Grandpa Jun.

“Oh.” Riina gave him an apologetic smile and placed the box in her hand on his desk, “Now that we have the stuff, let’s go.”

Asher’s sharp eyes looked to her other palm that was placed behind her back, a hint of obscurity slipped through his eyes, what did this woman want again? Her face didn’t move as she swept her away, the tall figure taking the lead and leaving the office, “Then let’s go.”

With a gentle smile on her face, Riina followed Asher out of the office, closing the office door behind her as she carefully pulled the lab sheet out from behind her back, staring viciously at the names on it: how long are you going to fuck with me, Mia!

The lab slip was gripped fiercely in the middle of Lena’s hand, her vicious face reflecting through the smooth door panel:.

I won’t let you succeed in your plot! Since I can make you leave the Jun family, then I can make you disappear all the time! Dealing with you is simply a piece of cake for me.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

The corners of his mouth instantly crawled with a trace of malice, the corners of his eyes when he saw the trash can next to him, after balling up the lab slip in his hand into a ball and then throwing it into the trash can with a sharp action, his cold eyes made people feel unconsciously horrible: Mia, I won’t give you the chance to return to the Jun family!

“What are you dawdling about?” Asher’s icy voice came from the distance, laden with impatience.

Riina’s face turned out of the shadowy corner, a moving smile spreading across her face, a complete contrast to the vicious face she had just been.

“Coming.” Lena smiled, stepping up to Asher on her heels, her arm naturally resting on his.

A tall figure stood in a shadowy corner, watching Lena’s every move, and it wasn’t until after the two had left that Claude stepped out of the bathroom.

With a straight posture, he stood next to the trash can with one hand in his pocket, his bemused gaze looking at the paper discarded by Lena inside the trash can, remembering the look on Lena’s face just now, Claude then bent down and took out the balled up paper from it and spread it out again, his dark eyes gazing at the lab slip, a sigh escaping from his mouth uncontrollably, and a pair of sword brows couldn’t help but tighten.

Alas, Lena is too thoughtful for this woman, and such a woman Asher wouldn’t like, and certainly not him.

Deep eyes glanced at the two people walking intimately downstairs, then down at the crumpled lab sheet in his hand, and then his tall body disappeared in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.

All he could do for Mia right now was to put the labs away for now. The timing simply didn’t allow him to tell Asher the truth about what was going on, and, right now, Asher simply couldn’t even sort out his own emotions, couldn’t understand his own mind at all.

If he interfered haphazardly, he might make things worse and worse.

Now, it’s just a matter of taking one step at a time.
