The CEO’s Pet Cat

Inside Asher’s office.

Riina walked in angrily and placed the newspaper in her hand on the table in front of Asher and asked angrily, “Asher, what’s going on in this newspaper, what’s going on?”

Asher glanced at the newspaper and saw him cuddling with a scantily clad woman with the headline: Master Jun cheats on her before marriage, moves on to a rich celebrity.

“Do you believe such a thing?” Sitting unmoving in his boss’s chair, Asher’s voice didn’t ripple in the slightest, as if the newspaper was reporting someone else’s glance.

“Asher, don’t you tell me that this man is not you.” Seeing Asher react so coldly, Leena was even more furious.

She knew that Asher was never short of women around him, and even when he was married she had to turn a blind eye, but it didn’t occur to her that before Mia’s affairs were cleared up, he was actually having another scandal before he got married.

A few days ago, there were reports in the media that Asher was having an affair with this woman in the newspaper, and Rina thought at the time that she would just turn a blind eye to it, but to her surprise, it was getting worse these days.

Because of the Asher scandal, the family is now afraid to leave the house because there are reporters outside the door, all trying to get a glimpse of privacy to make a big story.

How could she swallow the fact that she had gone to all the trouble to get out of the house this time to ask Asher what was going on, only to find that he didn’t seem to take it seriously at all?

Asher took a light sip of his coffee and looked at Leena lightly, “Leena, I’m not denying that this man is me. We’re in business, we can’t help but have some social engagements, are you even going to control me when we’re not even married?”

“I… I didn’t!” Riina panicked and immediately forced herself to calm down, “I just think that we’re going to get married soon and it’s not good for both of our families if you make news like this, so that’s why I’m here to ask you.”

Smiling faintly, Asher said indifferently, “I’ve just explained that it was simply a matter of socializing, and if you don’t believe me, there’s nothing I can do about it.”

The way he looked, he had no intention of explaining.

“A social occasion? Asher, if it’s a social occasion, why is all the recent gossip about this woman? Are you guys already in some kind of relationship?” Stung by Asher’s smile, Riina stared stubbornly at Asher’s face.

“Leena, tell me, do you want me to have anything to do with this woman, or do you dislike me having anything to do with this woman?” Seeing that Leena wouldn’t relent, the smile on Asher’s face faded away and was replaced with a face full of gloom.

When did he, Asher, ever need to report to a woman for anything!

Not understanding what Asher was talking about, Leena froze, “You, what do you mean?”

“If you keep pestering me about it, I’ll make your suspicions true. I don’t suppose this woman wouldn’t be unwilling if I did, would she?” Impatience grew on Asher’s face.

“Asher, Grandpa just got out of surgery, aren’t you afraid he’ll find out?” Riina froze, finally pulling out her last trick.

Asher’s lips curled up in a cold smile, “Lina, you can tell grandpa about this, I won’t stop you! But if anything happens to Grandpa because of this, I will never let you go! Don’t think I don’t know that it was because of you that grandpa was sent to the emergency room last time!”

“I… I didn’t …” Her body shuddered involuntarily, but Riina forced herself to calm down and denied it with a straight face.

If Asher finds out about her causing Grandpa Jun to be sent to the hospital, she’s gonna die a horrible death!

“Also, I’ve already sent someone to investigate that incident where Miss Leng was abducted for no reason, do you want me to announce the results of the investigation?” Arching his long, slender fingers, Asher tapped coldly on the tabletop, his dark eyes examining the pale Lina before him.

Hearing Asher’s words, Riina’s body couldn’t help but sway and waved her hands, “Asher, don’t misunderstand, that incident has nothing to do with me at all, maybe she offended someone and that’s why she was hijacked, it must be like that … ”

“Lina, there are a lot of things that I didn’t say that don’t mean I don’t know.” Asher’s voice was gloomy and cold, “But if you keep messing around, don’t blame me for not being polite!”

“But, we’re getting married soon, can I please ask you to curb down a little, otherwise, my parents won’t have the face to see anyone!” Her body kept swaying, Lina still mustered up the courage to say.

Asher stared coldly into her eyes, “Lina, I hope you won’t talk too much about my affairs in the future, just be your young grandmother in peace and quiet. Or else, hmph!”

With Asher’s cold hum, Riina actually shuddered involuntarily, nodded sharply and said, “Fine, fine, I won’t tell grandpa about this, just pretend I haven’t said anything, I’ll go …”

Without waiting for Asher’s response, Lena grabbed her bag and hurried out of Asher’s office.

Watching Leena’s hurriedly leaving figure, Asher confirmed his suspicions even more, and his dark eyes were full of a gloom that was hard to dissipate.

“Asher, isn’t it a little too cruel of you to do that? Besides, I haven’t seen any man who’s getting married attend a public function with a woman as high-profile as you are.” Lena had just left when Claude walked in shaking his head.

Asher nestled his body comfortably into the seat and tossed over a comment without good grace, “If I remember well, this idea, it seems, you came up with it for me. If you want to be cruel, you should be more cruel, right? Also, if you feel sorry for Lina, then you can go comfort her, I won’t object!”

“Forget it, just pretend I didn’t say that, pretend I didn’t say that.” Claude waved his hand in fright, “I just came to see if the plan was going to work or not.”

Asher was full of gloom, “You don’t know that the marriage between the Lai family and the Jun family will benefit them quite a lot. Just these scandals will definitely not make them give up.”

“It’s also true that Li Na has always wanted to marry you, and the Li family is bent on relying on your Jun family to expand their market, so how could they easily give up on this marriage? I see, if you want to get rid of Miss Lai, you still have to suffer!” Claude nodded empathetically.

“If it weren’t for my grandfather’s words, it wouldn’t have taken so much effort at all. The only way now is for Lina to come forward and break off the engagement.” Asher’s face was full of gloom and his voice was full of helplessness.

Claude sighed and shook his head, “I reckon the chances of getting her to offer to break off the engagement first are really slim. But even so, you might as well try, just do it my way, maybe she won’t be able to stand it!”

“I’d like to think that your solution may not work either, but there’s no better way to do it now.” Shaking his head helplessly, Asher’s voice was unusually weary.

“Whether or not it will work on Lena I don’t know, but what I am sure of now is that this solution may have an effect on Mia!” With those words, Claude left and fled out of the office.

Asher froze in place.

After an unknown amount of time, Asher let out a low curse and finally strode out of the office and down to the floor of Centurion.

“Well, I’m going out now, so if anyone asks for me, just leave a message for me and I’ll come back and deal with it!” He was just about to head up the stairs when he noticed that Mia had explained a few words to the secretary behind her and was already walking straight towards the door.

Without thinking, Asher met him.

“What are you doing here?” A flash of unnaturalness swept through Mia’s eyes at the sight of Asher, who was walking towards her, but quickly regained her usual cold beauty.

“The surgery you did on my grandfather was very successful, so I wanted to thank you personally!” Without ignoring the unnatural look in Mia’s eyes, Asher explained without moving.

Mia immediately refused, shaking her head and saying, “This would have been part of the job, and your family pays well, and I’m just doing it to make money, no thanks.”

“I came over this time, not only to thank you for the successful surgery on my grandfather, but also to talk to you about how our two families can work together. This is what I promised you before, and I definitely won’t go back on it.” Anticipating that Mia would refuse, Asher had prepared his words long ago.

“This …” Mia was obviously very hesitant, “It’s better for us to wait until Nangong asks to come back and then we can visit in person!”

Although her instincts told her that Asher would never go back on his word and would definitely help her, she was very hesitant as she was repulsed to spend time alone with Asher.

“Miss Leng, you should know that my time is very limited.” Looking at Director Wang who walked out, Asher gave a slight smile, “Besides, you don’t want your board to know that you’re standing with me, do you?”

Glancing back warily, Mia whispered to Asher, “Your car is somewhere, let’s go!”

Now that the board is already finding fault with her with Director Wang at the helm, if the board sees her with Asher now, there will be an uproar!

“My car’s right outside the door.” Without hesitation, Asher took Mia’s arm, a faint smile still on his lips, and walked towards the parked car without saying a word.

The moment Asher took her arm, Mia shuddered, a blush involuntarily flushing her stunning little face, and she hurried into the car to hide her unnaturalness.

Damn it, she was blushing in front of Asher!This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

The sudden departure of the small hand in his hand caused an unspeakable melancholy to rise up in Asher’s heart, but he quickly adjusted and started the car and sped off!
