The CEO’s Pet Cat

Asher leaves her above, and Mia, who has been given the light again, has no joy.

What does he mean by that?

Asher sat on the edge of the bed, his face expressionless as he pulled out his phone and plucked a number, “Hey Claude, go get that orphanage … immediately”

Before he could finish his sentence, a soft body covered his spine.

“Don’t …” a slightly sobbing voice sounded in his ear.

Asher hung up the phone and let Mia lean against his back and said coldly, “Remember your choice, this time consider yourself out for a walk, if I catch you next time it will be more than just the orphanage.”

He turned back and swept up to the tear-stained pale face, “The only thing you can do is to behave and obey me!”

After saying that, Asher left the room.

The door to the room closed and she sat crouched on the bed like a statue, but she didn’t feel the slightest chill, her heart had been taken over by the cold.

She was so sorry now, so sorry she had come to apply for a temporary girlfriend job so she could be free of anything to do with this demon, she was still the reporter running around on the news.

A sigh spilled from Claude’s lips as he stood outside the door watching Asher calmly close the door to his room, listening to the low sobs inside.

“Is it okay to leave her like this?”

He really admired this Mia, if it was a normal person who received this kind of treatment would have run away long ago, where would she remember any orphanage, she just had to take all these responsibilities that didn’t belong to her.

Asher gave him a faint look, and Claude immediately stopped talking.

With no more noise in his ears, Asher then slowly walked down the stairs before his cold voice slowly rang out, “A pet’s sharp claws must be smoothed out before he can do so.”

Claude was completely dumbfounded at the comment, huh? Pets?

Come on, Mia was a person, and a woman, not his pet! A bright light slid past his eyes and an impish grin hung by the corners of his mouth.

Is it hard to believe that this man is interested in people to be like this? When has Asher ever been this into a woman before?

The more he thinks about it Claude, the more suspicious it seems… these two, something’s up!

On the other hand, Mia cried most of the day after being locked in her room alone, and finally drifted off to sleep.

However, her tight frown indicated that she was very disturbed even in her dreams.

“Ah …” Mia woke up from her sleep with a start.

Her entire body bounced off the bed at once, her forehead covered in dense beads of sweat, gasping for air, waiting to see her surroundings before she closed her eyes and exhaled.

Pulling out a few tissues to wipe away the beads of sweat seeping from her forehead herself, Mia’s pale face was a cause for concern.

Over the years she had often dreamed of being bullied in the orphanage, and the unpleasant images of that bullying stuck inher mind.

She raised her hand and glanced at her watch; it was just after three o’clock. Pulling back the covers she lay down on the other side, but she tossed and turned never to sleep again.

Mia closed her eyes and forced herself into sleep, and just as she was in the middle of her haze, the phone rang to wake her up.

Getting up and just glancing at the caller ID, she quickly picked up the phone, “Hey Dean, what can I do for you?”

The call was from the director of the orphanage.

The silence on the other side made Mia’s heart sink and the knuckles holding the phone started to turn white, “Is it Haru’s illness?”

Xiao Qing is also a child of the orphanage, although she is only eight years old, she is a very well-behaved child, but unfortunately, God forbid, just a short while ago she was found out to have leukemia.

Mia sat up in bed and settled down, saying firmly, “Mother Dean, I will get the money, just wait for my news.”

After saying that and not listening to what the Dean on the other end was saying, she simply hung up the phone.

Hanging up the phone Mia turned it off and placed it on the bedside table, wiping her face in frustration and pulling the covers over her face.

That was all that was left, there was nothing more she could do now, tomorrow, she was going to talk to Asher, whatever the outcome, he was the only one who could help her now, and she was going to get his help no matter what.

The coolness of the morning was getting and the plants in the courtyard were covered with dew condensed from the fog.

The sun was shimmering and the moonlight hit the water ripples like broken pearls.

Mia stood at the top of the stairs, gazing across a railing at the man who was concentrating on his office.

A perfect side face, an elegant jaw, ink-black eyes hidden under clear lenses, and a suit that made his whole person look handsome, provided of course that his iceberg face was ignored.

She was looking intently when the eyes that seemed to freeze hearts had caught her in the act.

“Something wrong?” He asked without warmth, causing Mia, who was hidden in the shadows, to shiver in her heart and could only hastily avert her eyes.

Mia looked like prey being watched, and the man sitting not far away was the fierce beast that hunted.

Her body then involuntarily stepped out of the shadows and sat uneasily across the room.

Asher saw her approach out of the corner of his eye, withdrew his eyes, and continued to focus on the matter at hand.

Mia closes her eyes and crosses her hands nervously in front of her belly.

“I want an advance on my salary!”

Asher stopped tapping his hands on the keyboard, his dark eyes behind the lenses staring intently at the woman across from him with her eyes closed tight, and it was easy to see that she was nervous now.

When she didn’t hear the keyboard tapping for a long time, Mia peeked one eye open, just in time to be caught by the other person, and she laughed awkwardly, hanging her head down and blushing.

“Go ahead, reason.” Since he could get this woman to sit so peacefully in front of him, there must be a reason that was important to her, and that reason might become his most advantageous weapon.

Mia looked up and looked at the man across the table with incredulous eyes, so did he say yes to her request?

Joy rose to her face, but when she heard that he wanted to hear the reason the small face quickly dimmed and her clear eyes clouded with a layer of dust.This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“Can I not say anything?” After a moment of hesitation, Mia finally said the words.

Her hesitant look made Asher raise an eyebrow and even her voice turned icy as she spoke, “Of course not.”

Mia rubbed her hands together in a hurry, “I’m in a real hurry …”

Haru is waiting for her rescue.

Asher interrupted her nonchalantly, “You have the right not to say anything, and I have the right not to get an advance on my salary.”

“You can’t do that!” Mia immediately bounced up from the couch in excitement and glared as soon as she heard him try to backtrack.

Asher glanced blandly at the agitated woman in front of him, “I certainly have the right to do so.”

The unemotional words made Mia’s face pale for a moment and her lips tremble slightly.

She knew in her heart that she wouldn’t get a penny today if she didn’t let this man know why, but …

“My patience is limited.” Asher continued to apply pressure.

Mia paused and closed her eyes in pain, “You know I come from an orphanage, I would apply for a temporary girlfriend just for a sick girl in the orphanage, she needs big medical bills to save her life and now that her condition has worsened, I can only seek your help.”

His indifference made Mia almost lose all her courage, but the thought of Haru lying in pain on the hospital bed, and the thought that she had suffered that pain herself, made her look up bravely again, “I want you to help me.”

Asher didn’t say anything, but a pair of ink eyes overflowed with sarcasm.

“Really, please believe me! I just want to save that child! If you’ll just give me an advance on your salary, that child can definitely be saved!” Mia’s voice trembled with excitement and nervousness.

Asher couldn’t help but chuckle softly at her comment, the merciless laugh made Mia’s heart pluck up a chill, “You think you’re doing that to help? I don’t care if you want your own trouble, I’ve always hated trouble.”

Mia’s face was abruptly white at her words, and she couldn’t help but tremble, but she still pulled herself together and said, “That child can definitely be saved, because …”

“Because you once had leukemia too.” Asher looked up, and the cold look in his eyes made Mia feel weak all over.

Her expression was all caught in Asher’s eyes, a sneer curled around his cold lips, “Since you knew I had investigated you, you should have guessed that I would know what was going on around you, after all, I don’t like situations that I can’t control.”

Mia’s face paled even more, biting her own lip hard as thick anger burned her eyes, the hands hanging at her side clenched into fists.

“If you knew about Haru’s condition why didn’t you reach out and help?” The hiss used almost all of her strength.
