The CEO’s Pet Cat

In the blink of an eye, three days rushed by.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Since that night, the mood between Asher and Mia has reversed dramatically, dropping to an unprecedented freezing point.

Mia sat on a bench in the garden, her figure slim, a pale little face turned even more palm-sized, her eyes looking even darker and larger, her brows furrowed in a loving frown.

Since what happened last time, she had seen Asher less and less, not even once for days.

Afraid she’ll fall in love with him? Or was it fear of her pestering him? A mocking smile crept up to the bottom of Mia’s eyes.

“What’s on your mind?” The bright voice, coming from behind her, carried the teasing of a special head.

Mia hurriedly looked down and wiped the tear tracks away before raising her usual bright smile and turning her head to look at the visitor.

When she saw that standing not far away was Liam Jun, who had the exact same face as Asher, she still froze slightly and spoke lightly, asking, “What brings you here?”

The intimacy of that day at the dinner party suddenly came back to her mind, bringing an unnatural blush to Mia’s little face.

Liam Jun slowly approached her, dressed in a fancy casual loungewear, both hands idly in his pockets, his signature bad smile on his face, looking playfully at Mia whose eyes were slightly red and swollen, “Yo, who pissed you off, your eyes are swollen like walnuts.”

Mia quickly twisted her head around and gave a noncommittal, “Liam Jun, if you came here just to make fun of me, then you might as well go, I’m not in the mood.”

“Okay, okay, it’s my eyes, you’re not crying, you’re not crying.” Seeing that Mia was angry, Liam Jun hurriedly lowered himself to curry favor.

In fact, he had been standing behind Mia for a long time watching, and seeing the feeling of her silent tears surprisingly made his heart well up with the slightest unspeakable heartache.

Seeing that Mia was still not paying attention to him, Liam Jun said with a smile, “Okay, okay, you can forgive me, okay? Besides, I’m coming over here now, so I can lend you my broad shoulders, so you can have a place to cry, right?”

Turning her head slightly, Mia couldn’t help but puff out a laugh when she saw Liam Jun’s sexy lips rising slightly and squeezing his eyebrows to tease her.

She smiled like the clouds were coming out of the sky, and her clear, bottomless eyes curved up slightly, showing two deep pear swirls on her fair cheeks, causing Liam Jun to look dumbfounded, and his mind couldn’t help but stir.

“You didn’t come over here this time to convince me to obey you, did you?” Reaching up slightly to tuck the stray hair in front of her forehead behind her ear, Mia was in a flirtatious mood as well.

Seeing that the butterfly ring he gave Mia was still on her slender white finger, Liam Jun was in a good mood and pulled out a Muppet from behind him with a trick and said with a smile, “I’ve been wronged this time, I’m in tune with you, I know you’re in a bad mood, so I rushed to bring you a gift.”

“I look familiar with the Muppet, I think it was put up at the last party, right? You’re good at showing off, just take this and give it to me.” Holding the Muppet in her hand, Mia laughed in an unpleasant manner.

Asher said offhandedly, “I’ll bring it to you whenever you want it …”

Perhaps realizing that the comment was a bit ambiguous, Liam Jun snapped his mouth shut, looking slightly embarrassed, and Mia froze slightly, not knowing what to say.

What followed was an often long period of silence, neither of them speaking again, just sitting quietly on their backs on the bench.

Mia took the Muppet in her hands and kept fiddling with it, enjoying it like a little kid.

With her head only slightly tilted to the side and the sunlight softly hitting her body, Liam Jun could see her slender, thick eyelashes, straight, small nose, pouty red lips, and a deep pear swirl on one side.

Liam Jun’s eyes, suddenly, could no longer be moved. He looked at Mia steadily, his eyes flowing with an unfamiliar intensity of emotion.

Unintentionally turning her head and meeting Liam Jun’s demented eyes, a blush sprang to Mia’s small face and she snapped her face away, but Asher’s cold face came unconsciously to mind, her breath catching, her heart still aching.

Seeing the blush on Mia’s face, Liam Jun then realized that he had just lost his temper, and a flush of embarrassment surfaced on his handsome face, and he coughed twice to hide his embarrassment, “You …”

Before he could finish his words, the bright sunlight overhead was blocked by a tall, erect figure, and from a male voice that made emotions inaudible, “It looks like you’re happy together.”

At the sound of the voice, Mia shuddered, the smile on her face quickly faded and she hung her head slightly. Liam Jun slowly stood up and gazed faintly at the expressionless Asher, “Older brother, I came to see you, I didn’t expect you to be … away.”

Asher’s tall, slender body seemed to block out all the sunlight, emitting a chilly aura, a pair of cold eyes just swept a glance at Liam Jun before falling on the woman sitting beside him, the temperature of his cold eyes instantly dropped a few more degrees, “Is that so? That’s quite a coincidence.”

His voice was cold, interspersed with inaudible emotions. An inexplicable wave of emotion quickly took over his entire body and mind at the sight of Liam Jun and Mia talking and laughing together just now.

It seemed that this woman was surprisingly close to her brother.

Seeing Asher’s pursed thin lips and beady eyes, Liam Jun frowned uneasily, “Older brother, I was just talking to her for a few minutes, you wouldn’t even this …”

“I didn’t ask you.” Sam’s cold gaze shot straight to Liam Jun’s face, and then twisted to look grimly at Mia, who had been hanging her head slightly, with a wild anger under her eyes, “You thought that if you couldn’t seduce me, you’d seduce Liam in turn?”

Looking up quickly, a pale little Mia stared dead at Asher, her voice trembling, “Asher, please watch your language.”

“What, you’re actually getting annoyed after I gave you the slip?” A large, slender hand gripped her small chin tightly, and the rage running through his body made Asher completely ignore Mia’s hurt eyes.

He’s going to punish this woman badly!

Seeing Asher’s hard words, Liam Jun’s eyes also had a chill underneath and said coldly, “Old man, even if she’s your woman, she’s not a bird you’ve kept in captivity, she still has the right to deal with others …”

“You shut up!” Turning his head to look at Liam Jun who was speaking for Mia, Asher’s mind became even more agitated, “You don’t have a say here yet, if you want to please people, I suggest you go and please Grandpa!”

He was in a very difficult situation, and he couldn’t add to her burden or hardship.

“Let’s go!” Reaching out her small hand, Mia took Asher’s wide palm. She didn’t want Liam Jun to get tangled up in it too, that would only make the situation worse.

Cold, ice-like eyes changed instantly as her small, soft hand took his large one, and the large hand clenched into a fist slowly loosened as Asher gave Liam Jun a cold look and twisted away, leading Mia by the hand.

Mia twisted her head and was about to say goodbye to Liam Jun when she noticed the large hand holding her small hand suddenly increase in strength and she stumbled as Asher pulled her unawares, she had to twist her head around and quickly follow Asher’s lead.

A long time passed, and Liam Jun remained standing still, his dark eyes shining with a strange light.

Seeing the ragdoll thrown to the ground, he slowly bent down and built it up, silently looking at it before tightening his large palm and squeezing the swollen doll all out of shape.

A sharp light flashed from the bottom of his brown eyes as they looked to the two figures that were fading away.

After being dragged to the second floor by Asher, Asher slammed the door of the room with a loud and frightening bang, and Mia couldn’t help but shudder and look at Asher with a grim face in horror.

The next second, Asher’s body was pressed up against hers.

Mia didn’t even react before her body was already pinned down heavily by him and her hands were raised high above her head, Asher’s dark eyes looked at her grimly as he coldly asked, “I ask you, how the hell did you hook up with Liam Jun!”

Mia was stunned for a moment, her face turning pale, she didn’t understand why he was asking, could it be that just because the two of them had spent less than ten minutes together, he had decided that she and Liam Jun had something going on?

This is ridiculous!

“I don’t know what you’re talking about, there’s nothing between me and Liam Jun.” Mia twisted her face away and answered truthfully through clenched teeth.

“No what? Do you think my eyes are blind? Could it be that, apart from me, the golden master, you want another golden master, an additional backup, an additional security?” The sarcastic insults kept popping out of those light lips, stabbing at her like a sharp sword!

With every word Asher spoke, Mia’s face paled, her already pale face now more transparent.

“No! I have nothing at all to do with Liam Jun! As for why he was at the villa, I don’t know!” Mia defended herself loudly, a gush of sourness welling up in her heart. This man, actually doubting her!

“Oh, really? If not, then why did he come to the villa today?” Asher questioned again.

“I told you I didn’t know, I thought he was here to see you …” Mia forced the sourness in her heart down, her shell teeth biting her lips tightly.

“To find me?” Asher repeated her words coldly, his lips curving in a cold arc, “You know too little about this brother of mine, even if you want to find a man you should think about the reason!”

Mia was silent, since Asher had decided that there was something between her and Liam Jun, it was useless for her to argue any further.

Asher took her silence as acquiescence, and for a moment, anger burned like a blazing fire, instantly overwhelming his reason, and the grim look in Mia’s eyes actually made her feel suffocated for a moment.

“Damn you, woman!” A large, slender hand seized her chin, and a dark tide raged under his eyes.
