The CEO’s Pet Cat

Inside the office building of Jun’s group.

Mia stood outside Asher’s office, a small face still puzzled and confused, an hour ago Asher had called her and said he had something important to say to her and had to get her to come to Jun’s office building.

But what did Asher have to say to her at this point in time?

Just then, Asher’s voice suddenly came from within the office, “I’m sure Mia knows all about what happened five years ago, are you going to hide it now?”

To Mia’s disbelief, the next thing that came was actually Riina’s voice, full of disdain, “Asher, since Mia already knows, why are you asking me? I have already said that I did what you wanted me to do, five years ago, so why are you here to question me?”

God, Asher called her over just to confront Lena about the baby five years ago?

“Leena, I’ve investigated this matter clearly, five years ago, it was your instigation to let Mia hear it on purpose, right? Aborting her baby was actually your idea, that Asher, it wasn’t actually me!” Asher’s voice took on a bit of anger, apparently Riina’s lack of acknowledgement made him feel angry.

Riina, however, sneered a few times, “Asher, since you’ve decided that I did it, all you have to do is find the evidence and I’ll admit it. But where is the evidence?”

The conversation in the office made Mia unconsciously pinch her long nails inside her palm and clench her lips, her body unable to help but wince.

In fact, she already had a vague feeling that something was wrong with what happened five years ago, and according to Asher’s temperament, if he had really done that, he would not have denied it. Because in Asher’s perception, he was the king of this world, and everything, as long as he decided, would not change.

But why, in this case, did he bite the bullet and say he didn’t do it?

Five years ago she was nothing more than a pack pet of Asher’s, what did Asher have to be jealous of?

Now that she heard Asher and Leena talking about five years ago again, her heart felt like it was in her throat, but her body was shaking like sieve, her lips were already bleeding from her teeth, her mouth was a sweet taste and she didn’t feel any pain at all.

There was a sharp pain in her heart, and Mia was almost speechless from the excitement of it.

God, the pain from five years ago, why did she have to taste it again, was that why Asher made sure she came to the office? Was Asher making her come to the office just so she could taste the pain from five years ago again?

Why is this, does Asher think, that the wounds in her heart, are not deep enough?

What the people in the back of the office said, Mia never listened to again, she was just too stabbed with pain to speak and clutched herself with her arms, backing away in fear.

No, she doesn’t want it, not to repeat the pain she felt five years ago, not to see it, not to hear it!

Mia, who had been heading backwards, hadn’t even noticed that behind her, there was already a cascade of stairs that could be fallen down if she didn’t love oh-so-slightly!

She didn’t even notice, just covered her little mouth in horror and stepped backwards uneasily. The pain from five years ago came towards her like a tidal wave, almost overwhelming her entire being.

“Mia , be careful.” Just as Mia was about to retreat to the stairs, just as one of her feet had been about to step on the edge of the stairs, her entire body, had fallen into a wide, warm embrace, and a familiar voice rang in her ears.

Twisting her head in horror, Mia shook her head desperately, “No way, no way, how could you be here, weren’t you in there?”

Yes, Asher was in the office and he should be talking to Leena right now. She knew his voice so well, how could she have heard him wrong?

“Mia , that’s the truth about five years ago.” Holding her tightly in his arms, Asher’s voice was tender with pain, “Five years ago, that’s what you heard, and that’s what the truth is. Five years ago, that voice in the office, it wasn’t me.”

What, not Asher?

No, it wasn’t, it was clearly Asher’s voice she heard!

She was confident that she knew Asher’s voice well enough that she couldn’t possibly have heard it wrong!

“No, no, five years ago, it was clearly you, that voice was clearly you, how could I have heard it wrong?” Desperately shaking her head, Mia tried incredulously to break free of Asher’s embrace.

How could it be, how could she have misheard?

Asher held her incessantly trembling body tightly, turned his head and nodded to the secretary who had been following beside him, and whispered to Mia, “Fool, you also said earlier that you knew it was my voice. Well, I’ll let you know the truth now.”

The truth?

What truth?

Could it be that the man she had hated so deeply for five years would give her a different answer?

Just as Mia was rambling, Asher’s secretary, had approached with two men, one of whom, a lecherous looking man, after seeing Asher and Mia, smiled sardonically with them and looked down uneasily at the tips of his shoes.

“Well, it’s up to you to explain to this young lady today, and if you don’t, you know what the consequences will be.” Holding the small woman in his arms tightly, Asher twisted towards the two men with a grim, frightening face and a voice that was as cold as if he wanted to eat someone.

Asher’s voice made both men cringe, especially the lecherous looking man, who was trembling and shivering for half a day before he said to Mia in a trembling voice, “Miss Luo, what happened five years ago, it’s all my fault, I, I … ”

His voice trembled and he said no more, but even then, Mia’s eyes leapt open in shock.

Because this man’s voice is, quite literally, Asher’s!

Seeing the shocked expression on Mia’s face, another man slowly walked over and opened his mouth to say, “Miss Luo, what you’ve heard, it might not be true either.”

This Leena, the voice that comes out of her mouth, is actually Leena’s voice!

Oh my God, Mia snapped a small mouth open, staring incredulously at the two men in front of her, her mind blank and slow to respond.

“Little fool, as you said earlier, you were confident that it was my voice you heard. I want to ask you, did you see me in person after you heard my voice?” Feeling the stiffness of the little woman’s body in his arms, Asher’s voice was gentle like water, overflowing with full of doting.

“But I, I saw your back …” A scene from five years ago, as if it had happened yesterday, finally popped out of Mia’s deeply buried memory and came back to her. Her voice trembled and she shuddered, never believing what she was hearing and seeing now.

The doubts and unanswered questions that had been buried deep five years ago finally popped out in full force at this moment as if they were out of control.

Was what she thought was true, five years ago, really true?

Sensing the change in Mia’s voice, a flash of ecstasy flashed through Asher’s heart, and he immediately nodded coldly to the lecherous-looking man. After seeing that, that man was busy twisting around and presenting his back in front of Mia.

Wide and warm, and if you don’t look closely, it sure looks exactly like Asher’s back!

At that moment, the other man opened his mouth, “Miss Luo, if I can make a woman’s voice, why can’t someone else’s voice sound like Master Jun’s? As long as you didn’t see it, you can’t believe what you heard.”

Yes, five years ago, she had merely seen Asher’s back, merely heard his voice. But she, who was already like a fallen leaf in late autumn, had long been tormented by all that had happened, and any little thing could have destroyed her completely!

Not to mention, she’s heard things since that have completely shattered her confidence and feelings!

“You mean to tell me that the voice I heard five years ago was, in fact, not your voice?” It was a simple truth, but Mia thought about it for a long time, and finally twisted her head to look at Asher, struggling.

Waving a hand for the guys to back off, Asher held her close and slowly walked towards the office, sitting on the couch inside the office and also letting Mia find a comfortable sitting position on herself before nodding, “Mia , I know that you won’t necessarily believe me if I let this man explain. I asked Leena to explain it to you last time, but …”

He originally thought that if Lina would come forward to explain, all the misunderstandings would be explained clearly, but he didn’t expect …

“That’s what I came up with, the thought that with this, you might be able to believe that the voice from five years ago, really wasn’t me.” Looking nervously at the expression on the small woman’s face in his arms, Asher pondered if the explanation he’d just given was convincing enough.

The misunderstanding five years ago had long been taken as a fact by the little woman in his arms, deep in his heart for so long, could she forgive him in such a short period of time?

Also, would she believe his explanation earlier?

For the first time, he felt so nervous. He’d done his best, and if Mia still didn’t believe him, he didn’t even know what to do.

He waited nervously for half a day before Mia in his arms finally responded, her small pale face and soft, feeble voice, “Asher, take me back, I’m tired now and want to go back.”

That answer made Asher’s expectant heart feel as cold as if cold water had been poured over it. Did she, still, not believe his explanation?

“Okay, Mia , I’ll see that you don’t look well, I’ll send you back.” Though his heart was full of disappointment, Asher was full of compassion and agreed to Mia’s request in a soft voice.
