The CEO’s Pet Cat

In a haunted open-air cafe by a fountain, Mia and Claude sat under a sun umbrella, and Claude ordered two coffees as a gentleman.

Sitting across from Mia, Claude had a gentle smile on his face, and Mia’s stunning face held a faint coldness that didn’t buy his smile.

Mia sat back in her wicker chair and pushed the coffee in her hand forward, her clear sharp eyes fixed on the man across from her, “Claude, what the hell are you trying to say, get to it.”

If others didn’t know Claude, would she not? Seeing him with a smile on his face, she knew it could never be that simple.

Hearing this from her, the man across the table couldn’t help but sigh down, “Mia, do you know what I hate most about you?”

Mia raised her eyebrows slightly and asked lightly in return, “I always thought that Vice President Xiang and I got along very well with each other, but I can’t imagine that you turned out to hate me.”

Claude smiled slightly, his dark eyes looking straight at Mia, “Mia, just admit it, you’re sad, sad as hell inside right now.”

“Claude, why should I be sad? I’ve made a large sum of money, a sum I can’t even think about. Also, Grandpa Jun would even give me another fortune if I wanted it, so why should I be sad?” Her body shaking slightly, Mia spread her hands out and looked fixedly at Claude.

Looking at Mia, who was still putting on a strong face, Claude sighed deeply, “Mia, you’re sad now because you’re in love with the man inside; you’re sad because the man you love will belong to another woman; you’re sad because you’re leaving. Am I right, or am I wrong?”

“Claude, what the hell are you trying to say?” Poked in the heart, Mia twisted her face away from Claude, not daring to look directly at him.

Claude’s long, slender legs folded together as he lifted his coffee cup and took a small sip, smiling eyes looking across at the woman, “I now know why Asher is so infatuated with you.”

Like she had heard something funny, Mia across the table suddenly sneered and looked at him with utter contempt, “Claude, I’m just Asher’s pet, it’s my body he’s obsessed with, I think?”

Claude gave a condescending smile and shook his head helplessly at Mia’s reaction, “Mia, have you never noticed that Asher isn’t the same Asher he was in the beginning?”

Mia didn’t give him a good look and said coldly, “Claude, you didn’t get me here to tell me what the hell has become of Asher, did you? Just say what’s going on, I can handle it.”

Putting down the coffee cup in his hand and leaning his wide spine on the wicker chair, Claude’s deep eyes shone as he sighed and said, “Mia , I really don’t understand how the two of you, have gotten into the mess that you are in. I can tell that you’re in a lot of pain right now, so if you’re in so much pain, leave.”

Mia’s eyes locked on the man across the table, her voice held a hint of vague anticipation, “Does Asher know about what you told me today?”

At this statement, Mia even felt like an idiot for asking such an idiotic question. Claude had always been Asher’s subordinate and best friend, and he wouldn’t have told himself this without Asher’s permission.

“Mia , you shouldn’t be overly upset either, right now, Asher simply can’t see his own heart, wait until he understands his heart at some point.” There was also helplessness in Claude’s eyes.

A bitter smile appeared on Mia’s pale face, “What else did Asher make you say.”

Claude shakes his head and tries to comfort Mia, “I’m the one who volunteered to talk to you about all of this, it has nothing to do with Asher. Since you’re hurting, you might as well go away for a while. I do think that maybe Asher will see his heart for it.”

In all the time he’d known Asher, he’d never seen Asher so agitated over a woman. Yet, he just refused to admit his feelings and froze to hurt Mia.

He was Asher’s best friend, but an unabashed outsider, so what could he do?

Mia blanched instantly, her flat palms on the table slowly clenching into fists, her eyes welling up with sad excitement as she slowly closed her eyelids and let her thoughts empty.

How did she not notice such a big break, she would never have come to the wedding hall if it wasn’t for Asher’s intention, so it was all his intention to show himself.

A tear slipped from the corner of his eye at the thought of Asher going to such lengths to get himself away from him, dripping onto the tabletop and splashing a water lily.

The heart that had a glimmer of expectation turned like dead weight at that moment.

Across the table, Claude looked at Mia’s tears and his tall body instantly froze in place, his deep eyes slowly dimming as he pretended to drink his coffee, ignoring Mia’s tears and calming down for a long time before saying, “Mia , you should listen to me, or else you’ll hurt more deeply.”

Mia slowly opened her eyes, her cool eyes dropping, calm and ripple-free “Claude, in fact, I’ve been thinking about leaving for a long time now. Coming here today is just to kill myself even more, I didn’t think that Asher would take the trouble, huh …”

The corner of her mouth, a bitter smile hung.

Hearing Mia’s sour words, Claude’s eyes instantly turned dark, “Mia, take my word for it, you might as well go back. Or, it would be good to leave him so you know how you feel about each other …”

“Claude, you don’t have to say anything, I understand your feelings.” Slowly standing up, Mia tried to look calm as usual.

Claude looked at her worriedly, wanting to say something.

Mia’s petite figure turned her back to the sunlight, her condensed eyes looking across at Claude, “Claude, you don’t have to talk me out of it, I already have the answer in my mind, I will leave.”

Claude glanced out of the corner of his eye like a dark glance by the fountain, then sighed helplessly and lifted his cool eyes to gaze fixedly at her, “Okay.”NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

It seemed the best choice for her to make, didn’t it?

Mia gave him a deep look, “Claude, thank you for your words today, I feel a lot better, you don’t have to worry about me.”

Claude nodded deeply and looked at her deeply, “Mia , there will be someone there to pick you up and take you back, I hope you are well.”

A car parked not far away, seeing Mia coming, a driver immediately got up and opened the door for her. mia looked back at a white car parked not far away, a mocking smile floated to the corner of her mouth, Asher, is this the last bit of dignity you have left for me?

Without even glancing at the open door, she reached for a taxi and got in, the car easing away from the quiet fountain side and heading for the wide avenue.

Only when Mia was completely out of sight did Claude rise from his wicker chair and walk with firm feet towards the white sedan, his tall figure leaning on the door, taking a cigarette out of his pocket and lighting it, a cloud of smoke blurring his handsome face, “Do you really want this?”

Was it so hard to get him to admit that he had feelings for a woman?

Asher got out of the car, his slender, upright figure, handsome, uncommon face, and reasonably tailored, expensive silver suit accentuated his emperor-like, icy aura.

Asher’s cold eyes glowed in the sunlight, his cold eyes gazing at the direction Mia had disappeared, the coldness in his eyes seemingly unable to melt even the sunlight. The cold aura was bathed in sunlight, and his emperor-like aura made him instantly the center of attention in the eyes of others.

Claude, over here, couldn’t help but sigh down at the sight of his best friend’s still unchanged face, “After knowing you for so long, it’s hard to see a woman who messes with your mind, and you just let her go?”

At least with Mia he looks like a normal person and not a cold machine.

“No! She has to go! And go willingly!” He couldn’t keep an element of surprise on his side, he had to be cold and ruthless Asher, he couldn’t have any weaknesses, he wouldn’t accept any bit of defeat.

Not even if it’s a woman!

Claude looked at his stubborn best friend next to him and tossed the cigarette butt in his hand into the trash can and couldn’t help but shake his head and sigh, “Asher, can’t you guys talk about this while she’s still here?”

Asher did not speak, his cold eyes still gazing into the distance, a hint of doubt tinting the bottom of them.

“Asher, didn’t we say we were going to take wedding photos, why are you saying you’re leaving just as I’m getting changed?” Claude was just about to speak when she saw Lena’s face full of confusion and discontent.

Asher not only agrees to the engagement, but even offers to take wedding photos, much to Lena’s delight, thinking she’s finally succeeded in getting Asher to turn his mind around.

However, while changing, she clearly sensed that Asher was distracted, but didn’t dare open her mouth to ask. Now she’s just changed and she can’t find Asher, and it looks like he’s actually trying to leave now!

What the hell was he thinking!

Looking knowingly at Asher, who still had a gloomy face, Claude sighed deeply and said lightly, “Asher, think about what I just said, and don’t regret it.”

After saying that, Claude marched off and Lena asked suspiciously, “Asher, what did Claude just say to you?”

“I have things to do right now, so go ahead and go back.” Asher replied coldly as if he hadn’t even heard what she was saying, quickly getting into the car and taking off.

Leena was left standing alone with her mouth wide open, stomping her feet in indignation.
