The CEO’s Pet Cat

“Say, how exactly did you seduce Liam Jun? Where else did he touch you, anyway?”

Mia couldn’t get a word out and could only shake her head desperately, “No, never, there’s really nothing between me and Liam Jun!”

A mist of hooded white tears rose to Mia’s eyes at the thought of his distrust.

“No! How dare you say no by now! How dare you say no when the facts are right in front of you!”

“No, it’s not like that …” The plucked voice was about to come out, but she subconsciously stopped after seeing a pair of eyes that were cold into her heart.

Asher grunted contemptuously out of his nose, “Put away your tears, it makes me sick.”

“Asher, listen to me …” Mia suppressed the tingling feeling in her heart and tried to make her voice sound as smooth as it could.

Asher shrugged her off as soon as he could, “I don’t want any explanations from you woman right now.”

“Asher, where are you going?” Mia asked, unable to hold back her anxiety and panic.

Her fear, still, was that Asher would take his misunderstanding of herself and retaliate to the orphanage and the director.

Asher gave her a cold look, “Remember, you’re just my pet, and a pet is in no position to ask its master about things.”

With that, he walked out angrily, leaving Mia in the large room, and no matter how much she called out, he never returned either.

She didn’t see, however, Asher, who was walking out of the room, pausing to listen to her broken sobs, a complicated look welling up in the bottom of his eyes, and then walking quickly.

His feet followed the staircase and walked quickly towards the living room on the first floor, as he walked down the last step of the staircase, his deep eyes saw the man who had walked into the villa at some point and was sitting on the sofa drinking tea independently, his large palm left from the staircase railing and walked grimly to the sofa opposite him.

The butler immediately and thoughtfully brought a cup of his favorite black coffee, Asher’s slender legs crossed, leaning idly on the sofa, his large, slender hands holding the steaming cup of hot coffee, his eyes sweeping grimly at the man across the table.

“Say, what did you come to see me about today?” In a light tone, Asher returned to his usual coolness, holding a spoon in one hand and stirring the black liquid in his glass.

Liam Jun, who was sitting across from him, also leaned idly on the couch and looked across at Asher, his eyebrows flicked up and the corners of his mouth lifted up in a harmless smile, “Can’t I, as a younger brother, come and see my own brother? That said, it’s been two or three years since our two brothers have seen each other.”

Who would have believed that their brothers could be so cold to each other.

The spoon in his coffee cup stirred gently as Asher’s cold eyes looked blandly across at the gentle faced Liam Jun, “Don’t beat around the bush, just tell us what you’re here for today.”

Liam Jun still had the same bland and gentle look from earlier, but a glint of light slipped through his eyes as he picked up his cup and took a light sip of the sweet liquid in it, “Brother, I came today just to tell you one thing, and that is …”

The alabaster cup in his hand was placed on the coffee table and his dark eyes looked at his big brother with a smile, “Keep an eye on your doll.”

A grim gaze emerged from the cold eyes, and the spoon that was stirring the coffee stopped abruptly, only the liquid in the cup still swirling gently from the force.

The two men’s eyes intertwined in the air, as they had in the small garden, and an eerie atmosphere passed between them, neither refusing to speak first, one expressionless, the other face as warm as water.

Asher’s eyes dimmed a few notches and he set the coffee down in his hand, “Now that you’re back, don’t expect anything that doesn’t belong to you, got it?”

Liam Jun’s fingers fumbled with the alabaster cup that had a few chills to it, the same gentle smile on his face, “Really? How do you know if she just really belongs to you? After all, an interesting doll needs a loving owner too, brother, don’t you think, right?”

Deep eyes burst with a regal coldness, and the atmosphere and temperature in the living room reversed sharply, slowly spreading a thick choking smell of gunpowder, Asher’s face grim, while Liam Jun always had a gentle smile on his face.

Liam Jun gently swirled the alabaster cup in his palm, his slightly narrowed eyes bursting with a firm coldness, “Brother, unlike those women you used to have, I’m afraid she’s not that easy to control. So it’s not certain who belongs in the end!”

Asher’s cold eyes stared across the table for a long moment, an unexplained smile suddenly appearing on his icy face as he reached for the coffee cup on the coffee table and took a sip, the bitter liquid flowing into his mouth.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

“It seems you’ve already made up your mind.” Eyes that held a sneer looked at his brother, Asher leaned back slightly.

Instead, Mia cried alone in the house for a long time, finally sitting up slowly from the bed and easing herself in front of the large floor-to-ceiling mirror.

She stood in front of the mirror, slowly straightening her clothes, and reflected from it were a pair of emotionless, cold eyes as she looked steadily at herself, her white fingers buttoning her dress in perfect order.

Calmly looking at herself in the mirror and gazing into those cold eyes, Mia’s tears fell abruptly to the ground, her face still with that same cold expression.

Asher, didn’t you say you were going to throw away your love for you?

From now on, then, she decided to bury her love for him and just follow his instructions to be an emotionless tool.

Sucking in her nose, she quickly wiped the tears from her face, and when she was sure that she didn’t look like a mess, Mia opened the door and stepped out of the room.

Mia, who had reached the stairs, saw the two people sitting opposite each other in the living room, and a glint of surprise immediately slipped through her clear eyes.

Why isn’t Liam Jun leaving?

Sensing the weird atmosphere Mia frowned and was considering whether she should go down when she heard a voice speak to her with a smile.

“Mia? You’re here?” Liam Jun tilted his head and smiled at the woman located at the stairway on the second floor who was preparing to go back.

The call caught Asher’s attention, and following Liam Jun’s gaze, Asher craned his head in the direction of the second floor, his dark eyes flickering uncertainly as he saw the stiff figure, his icy glare assaulting her unceremoniously.

Feeling the gaze of both brothers, Mia knew she couldn’t avoid it, and could only stiffen and turn back awkwardly, greeting Liam Jun uncomfortably with a gentle smile.

“You haven’t left yet?” Mia tried her best to look like everything was business as usual.

Hearing her words, Liam Jun who was sitting downstairs feigned an expression of heartache, “I’m so sad that you’re so eager to let me go, I just gave you a small gift and this time you turn around and turn your back on me!”

Mia had walked down the stairs to the living room and stood between the two, only smiling slightly at Liam Jun’s teasing.

But the smile irritated Asher, and he flung the cup in his hand heavily on the coffee table, his voice dull and appalling.

Mia’s body sank and she immediately put away the smile on her face and stood with her head slightly hanging.

Asher looked across at Liam Jun with a grim look on his face, “It’s about time you got back after being out for so long, I have other things to do, unlike you.”

At Asher’s unabashed eviction, Liam Jun just smiled slightly, his tall, dashing body rising from the expensive sofa and taking brisk steps to Mia’s body, his warm eyes gazing at the small, slightly drooping head, “Mia?”

Mia looked up suspiciously and darted a quick glance at Asher, trying to sound as bashful as possible, “Is there anything else you want?”

Asher blossomed into a gorgeous smile, a pair of dark eyes fixed on Mia and said sincerely, “It’s okay, just wanted to tell you something, in the future if you have anything sad don’t hide away alone and cry, you can come to me, I’ll be a very qualified mind trivia bin and will never make you cry.”

Mia was stunned, while Asher’s large hands were clenched tightly together, his eyes dark and terrible underneath.

Liam Jun gazed smilingly at Mia’s little face for a moment before turning on his heel and smiling meaningfully at a grim-faced Asher, “I’ve got my sights set on that very interesting doll, so I hope you can hold your ground.”

He smiled brightly at Mia and raised his head.

Asher’s cold eyes shot straight up with an icy glare that shot relentlessly at Liam Jun’s back, like he was trying to drown him in a snowy mountain in a raging snowstorm.

Feeling the difference between the two brothers, Mia was apprehensive.

Asher just looked at her coldly, like he was trying to see her through, a strange look of uncertainty in the bottom of his eyes.
