The CEO’s Pet Cat

Mia stood still, watching the hurried figure disappear from sight, and for a moment lost in thought. Disoriented? She had thought she had disguised herself well, but she hadn’t expected to be seen anyway.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

The bemused smile faded from his face, and his bleary eyes looked to the papers in his hand.

Mia tilted her head up to look at the gray sky, letting the cold rain hit her fair face, her eyelashes as light as feathers slowly closed, not long after, two lines of tears slid down from the corners of her eyes, making it unclear whether the drops were tears or rain.

A figure she should have forgotten suddenly came to her mind, the tall, erect figure that had haunted her since she’d left.

Mia shook her head and secretly told herself: stop thinking about it, it’s been so many days, that man has absolutely nothing to do with you anymore.

After adjusting her emotions, Mia let out a slow breath and lifted her feet to run quickly to the bus stop, hoping she wasn’t a drop dead by the time she got home.

Perhaps because it was going to rain, she was the only one waiting around for the bus. Mia had just stood at the roadside for a short while when a few people dressed like punks quickly surrounded her with an impish smile, “This pretty girl, you’re waiting for the bus alone? Do you want us brothers to keep you company?”

Coldly shaking off the hand on her body, Mia’s icy eyes swept over these people one by one, “What do you want, get lost!”

“Yo, you’re not so angry! Do you want my brother to help you cool down?” The two men looked at each other and laughed in an extremely ambiguous manner.

No sooner had their words left their lips than Mia had raised her hand and slapped one of the men precisely across the face, her icy eyes looking askance at the few men in front of her, “And get out!”

Several people froze at first, covering their faces in disbelief, looked at each other, and angrily yelled at Mia, “How dare you hit us, you stinking woman?”

After saying that, the two men lunged at Mia together, and Mia staggered and dodged, panic flashing at the bottom of her clear eyes. She had also slapped them just now in a fit of anger, and now when she saw several of them lunging towards her, there was naturally panic in her heart.

“What are you afraid of, didn’t you just hit me in a rage?” Without ignoring the trepidation at the bottom of Mia’s eyes, a smug smile finally surfaced on the beaten man’s face. If people knew that he had actually been beaten by a woman, where else would he put his face?

Mia backed away in fear, her voice finally taking on a tremble, “What are you going to do? If you do anything to me, I’ll call out for someone”

Although her voice was stern, the trembling voice gave away her panic and fear. After all, there were so many people on the other side, and she was only one, and a woman!

“Haha, isn’t it a little late for you to know you’re scared now?” The two men moved closer towards Mia while a few others stood around watching the good show, “But if you’ll behave yourself and stay with a few of us for a night, maybe we’ll be willing to spare the heavy hand.”

Mia bit her lip and said in a shaky voice, “You don’t think so!”

“In that case, then don’t blame us for not knowing how to show mercy!” The two men snapped and sank their faces down, lunging towards Mia without ceremony.

Seeing that they were about to pounce on her, Mia closed her eyes in appointment, her face pale. However, after half a day of waiting, but a delayed movement, a scream rang in her ears. She quietly opened her eyes, then leered and stared.

The one who knocked a punk to the ground was actually Asher! He was standing proudly not far away, a compelling aura emanating from his body, and his black eyes looked coldly at the few punks around him, “Get out of here now!”

His cold aura was appalling, as if he had just walked out of hell as a shura, and his ink-black eyes emitted an icy, piercing light. After seeing that, those punks trembled in unison, surprisingly already having the intention to retreat.

The boss of the men also shivered in fear, but at least he had seen some of the city and didn’t want to lose face in front of his men, so he quickly pretended to be calm, grunted at him in a pretentious manner, showed a disdainful look and said arrogantly, “Who are you to meddle in my business? If you are so insensitive again, I will make you look good!”

“Very good, very good.” Glancing coldly at him, Asher slapped him across the face nonchalantly, his tone icy, “I’d like to see how that looks!”

Asher’s punch, with full force, hit the man’s nose bleeding, he immediately covered his face and wailed in anger, “You bastards, what are you still standing around for, why don’t you all hurry up and get on me, ouch …”

The group of punks then reflected and didn’t dare to slow down, they pounced on Asher together due to the number of people

“Look out!” Mia, who had frozen in place since seeing Asher’s unexpected appearance, couldn’t help but exclaim.

Asher glanced back at her and then turned his head to look at the punks lunging together, a cruel smile that belonged to the grim reaper curling at the corners of his cold mouth.

Mia, standing not far away, her whole body froze, staring intently at Asher in a tense manner.

Several punks who had just gotten close to Asher’s side were kicked away by Asher, wailing and flopping to the ground as Asher’s dark eyes, flashed with bloodlust.

Those bastards, how dare they molest her, damn it!

Even with more people bullying fewer people, the group of punks still couldn’t get a half-way advantage, and Asher had a swimming, confident look on his face from start to finish.

Seeing that his men couldn’t get any advantage, the small gangster boss’s eyes turned and saw on Mia who was on the side of the table, and immediately quietly came behind her, put a knife on her neck and shouted in a loud voice, “If you continue, this beautiful girl, too, will soon be dead!”

Asher had several uncontrollably wailing punks lying at his feet.

“Don’t you dare touch her!” Instantly pausing in his stance, at the sight of someone with a knife to Mia’s neck, Asher’s eyes almost spewed fire and an appalling aura radiated around him, “If you touch her, I will make your life a living hell!”

The appalling coldness under Asher’s eyes made everyone shiver in fear, but he still said forcefully, “See if I dare?”

After saying that, he added a slight amount of force, and a bloodstain immediately appeared more on Mia’s white neck. Looking at Asher again, he was already jealous, coldly bellowing, “What the hell are you doing?”

“What am I going to do?” A fierce smile showed on the punk’s face, “You hurt so many of my brothers, and I hurt your woman, that’s not too much, is it? As long as you’re willing to let my brothers beat you up, I’ll let this woman go. How’s that, fair enough?”

Mia was startled and hurriedly shouted, “Asher, you don’t have to mind me, we don’t have anything to do with each other anyway, just go away!”

This man, how could he let a bunch of punks beat him up for her?

“Okay, I promise you, if you go back on your word, I will make a bunch of you all die a horrible death, I’ll do it.” Asher looked at everyone steadily, his aura still compelling.

Mia froze.

The punk boss hesitated for a moment and finally nodded at the punks, and the group of punks swarmed on him despite their fear, their fists and kicks coming at Asher’s body without hesitation, and Asher stood motionless, letting the group of punks beat him.

It didn’t take long for blood to seep out of the corner of Asher’s mouth.

“Stop it, all of you, stop it! Stop fighting, stop fighting, you’ll kill him …” Mia finally reacted, struggling desperately, her heart in shock and anger.

How dare they, how dare they beat him up like that!

“If you move again, I can’t guarantee that the knife will grow eyes.” Seemingly stunned by Asher’s reaction as well, the punk boss froze, surprised that he didn’t lash out.

Asher, not far away, remained standing straight, letting the punks’ fists and feet rain down on him without the slightest resistance.

A burst of heartache swept through Mia’s heart, and when the punk boss wasn’t paying attention, her high heels slammed down on his foot. The punk boss didn’t pay attention for a moment and wailed violently, holding his foot.

Mia, who had been let go, rushed towards Asher’s place without a second thought, actually sprinting away from the punks. She didn’t even hesitate for a second, taking Asher’s hand and running lifelessly towards a short distance.

“Damn it! Catch up with them.” The punk boss jumped to his feet as he angrily commanded the punks, “Go after them all! Don’t ever let them get away!”

The group of punks didn’t dare to slow down and immediately pulled out knives from their bodies and chased after Asher and Mia in unison.

The rain drizzled down as Mia pulled Asher along, darting towards an unobtrusive alleyway, only to soon notice that something was wrong with Asher. Looking down, blood continued to trickle out of Asher’s arm while he was as pale as paper.

“Asher … you’re hurt …” worried eyes went to his cut arm, Mia’s eyes immediately went wide when she saw the shocking blood “We need to find a place to hide quickly, I need to bandage your wound.”

Behind them were the punks, and the distance between them was getting closer and closer, gradually shortening to a few dozen centimeters.

One of the punks brandished a dagger in his hand and stabbed at Asher, the most dangerous person, in their eyes, was still Asher.

“Asher! Watch out!” As she shouted, Mia stepped in front of him with a single bound, her arm up, blocking the sharp blade hard.

“Mia, what are you doing!” Asher’s face suddenly changed. In fact, he had noticed the butterfly knife early on and had wanted to kick it away, but before that could happen, she had stepped forward and deflected the blade for her.
