The CEO’s Pet Cat

Riina was now without any charming thoughts, looking at Asher with an icy coolness in her eyes, as if without any fiery feelings.

“So what do you want me to do?” Lena buried her head in her hands, her tone natural and without any rise or fall.

Asher frowned at Rina, he had never seen Rina so quiet and had a bad feeling in his gut, but Rina was always under his control and Asher was sure she couldn’t turn anything over.

“Have a press conference where you apologize to Mia in person and come clean about what happened five years ago.” It was the best thing Asher could do; it would not only set him straight, but it would also tarnish the reputation of the Leena family business at the same time, making it easier for him to do so.

Riina was not a stupid person, and although she had been blinded by her infatuation with Asher before, she had long since regained her senses now that she was disheartened, and she could see exactly what Asher was up to.

But Rina didn’t say anything, she nodded negatively and told Asher, “Go back and let me calm down for a while, and go ahead with the press conference.”

Asher didn’t want to face Leena either, he didn’t even bother to say anything comforting, he heard what Leena said and went straight out of the hotel and back to his office.

After Asher leaves, Lena lifts her red eyes, her face long streaked with tears, and calls her father to tell him about Asher’s move against her family business.

In the evening, Leena received a text message from Asher: The press conference venue is booked at my office, tomorrow at 2pm, remember to be there on time.

Asher wasn’t afraid of Riina backtracking, as sinister and malicious as this woman was, as a candidate for the legacy of a major corporation, she was bound to be a man of her word if she seriously agreed to do so.

The day passed in the blink of an eye, and with Asher in a mood of anticipation, two o’clock the following day soon arrived.

Sakura Shang Group seldom held press conferences, and things are precious when they are rare. Today, before it was twelve o’clock, there were swarms of reporters pouring into the building of Sakura Shang Group, heading for the designated meeting place.

Before everyone just received the news that the president of Sakura Shang was going to hold a press conference, but the reason was unknown to anyone, and there was not a bit of news leaked out beforehand, so everyone was curious, and many people secretly speculated in their hearts whether Sakura Shang was playing any ghost tricks again.

Sakura-san’s designated receptionist is almost too busy at the door, and that’s when Asher is still missing, and he’s having a huge headache trying to figure out how to invite Mia at this point.

Mia seems to be separated by a film of awkwardness in whatever they do since she and he have had their falling out, Asher’s pride won’t allow him to stoop to Mia’s level, but he can’t help but be heartbroken by Mia’s coldness towards him.

“Mia , I’m holding a press conference, it’s about you, come here.” His tone was unconsciously raw once he dialed Mia’s number, it was clearly not the gentle tone he had in mind to use.

Sure enough, Mia was immediately upset when she heard him speak so forcefully, her voice laid back with a hint of imperceptible sarcasm, “Asher, you’re having your own press conference without informing me beforehand, I can’t be busy right now.”

Asher frowned and said out of habit, “Mia , don’t be ridiculous.”

Mia’s laughter stung shrilly through the microphone, “Asher, who do you think you are, I’m not pussyfooting around with you, and if you’re talking nonsense, you should be talking about yourself.”

The folder Asher was holding in his hand squeezed violently with a crunching click as he softened his tone as much as he could, “Mia , you don’t have to do this, there’s something really important going on at the press conference today, come over here.”

His voice was pleading, which silenced Mia for a long time, and finally she replied, “Okay, I’ll come over.”

Asher put the phone down and couldn’t help but gnash his teeth at Leena again, how could he have been treated like this by Mia if Leena hadn’t done what she did and planted it on him?

He ran through his head again the plan of how to bring down Leena’s family business and smiled coldly, the more Leena hated the better, and in the future, the more painful he would torture her without mercy.

Asher leaned back in his chair and took a nap, the corners of his mouth he was just too tired and needed a good rest.

Asher felt as if he’d only just closed his eyes when the secretary reminded him to get up, but his sanity was much clearer as he rubbed his forehead and got up to make himself a cup of coffee.

It’s now 1:40, and the press conference attendees have basically arrived, except for the three main characters who are scheduled inside this time – Asher himself, Riina, and Mia.

Asher, who naturally couldn’t go late if he wanted to reflect his amiable corporate image, arrived on his feet inside the conference room, which was almost the size of a sports field, and went up to the stage through a side door.

He was currently wearing a new limited edition Armani suit, the tailored fabric softly hugging his torso, reflecting his toned body without reservation, his handsome face drawing a scream from the reporters on stage.

The noise came to Asher’s ears and he felt a stinging pain in his temple, rubbing it to make his spirits better before he said aloud, “Please be quiet, the press conference starts in ten minutes, feel free to ask any personal questions before then.”

It was a perfect opportunity, Asher has always been a desirable match for women around the globe, but apart from being rich and handsome, his greater characteristic is his mystery, and the fact that the seldom photographed high-flyer allowed to be asked personal questions set off a scream of women.

No girl who can be a reporter is too introverted, and soon a female reporter stood up to ask a question, with short ear-length hair and a sort of clean face, looking at Asher with an obsessive fervor.

“Mr. Jun, I just saw you rubbing your forehead, is it due to overexertion? You are young and active, so you must have put in a lot of energy, could this be affecting your body in any way?”

That’s a fair question, Asher is one of the very few men in the world who has become the president of a mega-corporation at a young age, most people his age are still just in the underclass, it’s hard to imagine how Asher has worked his way up to where he is today.

Asher was a bit speechless at the question, I can’t believe how gossipy all these reporters are, but he replied amiably, “I’m just slightly unwell, as for the questions you mentioned, I can probably handle them all quite well and not overwork myself.”NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

There was another scream below as Asher’s answer reinforced the rumors that he was a genius, and the journalists nearly exploded with enthusiasm.

After answering a few more boring questions from the reporters, Asher’s brow knitted as he saw that the time was coming and the two parties that were supposed to be there hadn’t shown up yet.

The secretary next to him bent down to turn the microphone off and whispered to Asher, “Master Jun, both Miss Lina and Miss Luo are not here yet, do you think we should say something to postpone the launch for a while first?”

Asher was just about to say something when he saw the crowd automatically part on either side, the otherwise very noisy venue quieting down, and he looked up to see Lina swinging through the doorway in a light purple, low-necked dress, her figure tall and aloof.

Her looks were already excellent, and with this dress that looked like it came from a famous artist, she immediately attracted everyone’s attention.

Many reporters were whispering below, discussing the fabric of Riina’s dress, which was probably a limited edition of a brand, an extremely expensive material, and at this time, it was fittingly attached to Riina’s body, which complemented her nobility.

The graceful beauty with her hands raised slowly walked to the stage and curled her mouth to greet Asher with her usual soft adoring tone, “Asher, I’m here.”

Asher frowned at the doorway and casually waved a hand at Leena, gesturing for her to sit down.

Mia had not come after the appointed time, had she had some kind of accident?

Thinking about it Asher couldn’t sit still, he gave his secretary a wink and left the room.

The secretary immediately understood what Asher meant, turned up the microphone and said calmly, “The press conference has been postponed for a while, please take the message, there was a little accident.”

The crowd was in an uproar, and those who were mingling realized that Asher had disappeared, leaving only Lina, who was sitting upright on the stage, staring thoughtfully at the door with a very bad face.

Riina’s fingers hidden under the table clenched tightly, an extremely strong hint of jealousy and heartache swept through her otherwise bland eyes; she had never seen Asher so nervous for her, and her heart hated Mia even more.

“But it’s Asher who deserves the punishment more,” no one heard Riina’s soft muttering, Riina carefully hid the jealousy under her eyes and resumed her elegant image, she cleared her throat and said into the microphone, “Everyone, actually Master Jun is here or not It doesn’t matter, I’m her fiancée, and it’s fine for me to speak mainly on this matter today.”

The scene is quiet for a moment, Asher’s secretary glares at Leena with a sense that something bad is going to happen, but doesn’t dare say anything, after all, Leena still carries the title of Asher’s fiancée.

“Actually, it is not my own will that I am here today for this conference. I believe you have all heard a little about what happened to Miss Mia five years ago, and the main reason Master Jun held this press conference today is to find an explanation for what happened to Miss Mia five years ago, and unfortunately, he feels that I caused what happened to Miss Luo.”

The reporters on stage brewed up emotions for half a day before one of them finally stood up and asked, “Miss Lina, are you saying that Master Jun asked you to admit that you caused what happened to Miss Luo five years ago?”
