The CEO’s Pet Cat

In the quaint study, two men sit facing each other across a desk on which sits a steaming cup of coffee.

“How about this Mia? Will it be to your liking, young master?” Claude grinned as he looked at his expressionless friend.

Asher glanced at Claude, who invited credit, and two words popped out of his mouth slowly, “Make do.”

When he heard this comment, Claude didn’t like it, he jumped up from his chair and shouted, “What do you mean, it’s not bad! It’s good, right? It took me a lot of effort to find this woman, she’s not like other women who are eager to climb into your bed at first sight, and besides, she resisted your temptation! If you’re going to carry out your plan, Mia is the best choice, okay?”

You know, to be unfazed by Asher, she’s an extremely rare woman!

Asher managed to keep his mouth shut with one cold look at him.

Of course, Asher had to admit that the woman had piqued his interest.

He could see that Mia was genuinely repulsed by him, and that repulsion was especially strong after learning who he was, so he could see that she wasn’t lusting after him, but it was that repulsion that piqued his interest.

And, the plan? Of course he’s going to implement it the way it was originally intended.

Looking across the table at the sudden upward tilt of his best friend’s lips, Claude shivered involuntarily, he felt so cold.

Every time Asher flashed that grin it meant someone was going down, and hopefully this time his target wouldn’t be himself.

“Young master, Miss Luo has left.” The butler stood by the door, bending down respectfully.

At those words, Asher’s deep eyes brewed a storm and the temperature in the study plummeted several degrees, “What did you say?”

“Miss Luo jumped out of the second floor window and is now on her way down.” There was a hint of trepidation in the butler’s voice.

Claude glanced out the window at the night sky and a bad feeling surfaced, the weather in the mountains was changeable, especially in this sweltering summer heat, “A storm is coming.”

Asher’s spine leaned back against the leather chair, his long fingers tapping rhythmically on the table, a storm of low pressure gathering around him, a stifling sensation that made Claude shut his mouth quite consciously.

Can’t this Mia just settle down? Okay, now Asher is angry, and he’s scary when he’s angry!

“Go get it.”

How dare that woman ignore his warning! She’d better behave and come back on her own, and if he finds her, he’ll show her what happens when she disobeys him.

“And go find it, make sure you get the man back before the storm.” Claude was in a hurry, looking out the window at the dark clouds, his sword frown growing tighter and tighter, women were truly synonymous with trouble.

In the dead of night, Mia is desperately trying to escape the villa.

With a ragged breath under her breath, she quickly ran down the hill.

But just as she got halfway up the hill, she noticed that it was raining, and it was tending to get heavier and heavier.

Mia stopped in her tracks, crap, this could be a storm, storms in the mountains are a dime a dozen.

Looking back at the cottage that had been left behind, it might have escaped the storm if it had returned now, but …

Thinking of Asher’s cold face, Mia closed her eyes and took a deep breath as she took a determined stride down the hill.

She can’t go back. If she does, she’ll be completely trapped!

Her eyes flashed with determination, and she ran much faster down the mountain, making sure to get off this mountain before the storm came!

The rain was getting heavier, the road up the hill was getting muddier, and her stamina was fading, her running speed slowly dropping.

However, she still refused to give up running, and suddenly she stepped on a stone under her foot, and her whole body fell forward.

A sharp pain shot through her knees and Mia fought back tears as she slowly rose from the ground hill, her eyes tightly closed and her shoulders throbbing.

Damn it! When had she ever been in such a mess? It’s all because of that stinking man!

Even more unlucky, the storm was interspersed with hail.

She dragged her injured leg and sat down slowly under a large tree, gritting her teeth and looking at the sky. No, she had to leave, she was sure she would die at the man’s hands if she stopped.

Just as she struggled to stand up with one hand on a tree trunk, a light hit her through the dense rain, and she squinted to block the dazzling light.

“Found it! Miss Luo is here!” An excited voice reached her ears, and she blushed instantly.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

Found out!

Finally, Mia was reluctantly escorted to the car by a couple of bodyguards who had found their way over.

Someone should have made a report to Asher before he returned, and the car had just arrived back at the villa when the butler stepped quickly forward and opened the door for Mia to get out.

Mia was in a mess, wearing clothes covered in mud, her whole face was stained yellow with mud and water, and her clothes were not only dirty, but torn in several places.

Asher came over and carried her upstairs, kicking open the master bedroom door and slamming it shut with a backhanded thud, throwing Mia hard into the bath, which was already filled with warm water.

Asher looked at her with an expressionless face, “Wash up and come out with instructions.”

Half an hour later, the bathroom door opened and Mia stepped out of it. Pure white pajamas and freshly showered hair still dripping and falling over her shoulders.

Asher had a cigarette in his hand, and his tall figure stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, looking down on the large garden at his feet.

The room was very quiet, but as soon as she stepped into the bedroom, Mia was alert to his anger.

“Why are you running away?” Asher asked.

Mia hesitated visibly and didn’t answer right away.

“Speak.” Asher asked a second time in a cold voice.

Mia took a deep breath and looked bravely straight at the man in front of her, “I said I’m leaving!”

The two men’s eyes crossed in the air.

Looking at that stubborn gaze, the corners of Asher’s lips suddenly curled up into a smile, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, “Very well, you’re the one who broke the rules of the game first, then you’ll have to suffer the consequences of missing the appointment.”

His icy voice sounded like he was announcing her penal code, and Mia froze.

Asher grabbed her snowy white robe and pulled her whole body into his arms.

Mia couldn’t help but panic as the scene from earlier presented itself in her mind and

“I warned you not to presume to escape, you were the one who disobeyed me.”

His hot, strong embrace humiliates Mia and she sheds tears while his obvious aggressive intentions make her desperate to escape, but no matter how much she struggles, she can’t break free of him.

“No! You get off me! I’m just a temporary girlfriend!” Mia shouted in a panic.

Asher’s large palm clamped down on her chin, forcing her to tilt her head to meet her own, “What, now you remember your mission? What were you doing just now!”

Immediately after, Asher slammed her entire body onto the bed with a flip of his hand.

She was startled by Asher’s actions, and her mind cried out in dismay when she saw the emotion in his dark eyes.

This man means it, he really wants her!

“You get off me!”

Asher was pleased with the fear on her face and grabbed her wrist to raise it above her head.

The tips of their noses leaned together and he stopped moving.

“You know you’re scared now? But from the way you acted in running away, you have a lot of guts!”

He stopped her struggle, “Besides, I told you not to attempt to escape, and you didn’t take my words to heart? Hmm?”

Running his fingers over her delicate skin, Asher gave a wicked smile.

Good, that’s the effect he was going for.

His calm tone made her detect an aura of danger, as if this was the real him, so dangerous and intimidating.

“It looks like you’ve forgotten all about the orphanage!” Asher leaned in slightly, his warm tongue licking at her pale lips, a cold look in his eyes, as if to illustrate her stupidity.

“No! You can’t …” Mia’s emotions began to fluctuate at the mention of the orphanage.

“There is nothing in this world that I cannot do!” Asher cut her off coldly, “You abandoned the orphanage the moment you ran away, and in that case, I’ll do as you wish.”
