Chapter 805 âMeow!â
Stella didnât know where she found the courage to do it, but in that desperate moment, it was all that she could think of.
âMeow!â she cried again.
The sound of a catâs lazy meow filled the office. Everyone looked around and at each other in total confusion. Even Weston, who was always so stoic, seemed to have a curious look o n his face as if trying to suppress a certain emotion. The hand on the desk was also twitching.
Finally, it was a German businessman who broke the silence with his laugh.
âIs that your cat, Mr. Ford? Sounds just like my own little Persian! She always cries out in a soft voice, j ust like that! Everyone adores her!â
âYou have a cat too?â Weston asked in impeccable German. âMy little one here isnât a Persian, though.â
âWhat breed is your cat then?â the businessman responded with interest.
âSheâs just a little mongrel,â Weston replied, his eyes darting toward Stella, whose face was twisted with anger. Th e sight, however, only made him smile.
âIs that so?â the businessman continued. He seemed excited to find another cat person. âWell, breeds donâ
t matter anyway! All cats are adorable, arenât they? Yours must be very clingy since you brought it here with you in the office!â
âYes,â Weston laughed. âSheâs very clingy indeed!â
He reached down and stroked Stellaâs chin as if he was really playing with a cat.
Stella glared at him with fiery eyes, yet she didnât dare to make a peep of sound. She couldnât imagine how humiliating it would be if she were discovered now.
Suddenly , the German businessman stretched his neck and tried to look under the desk with much interest.
âWhy is it so quiet all of a sudden?â he asked. âI wonder if I could have the honor to have a look at your beloved cat?»
Weston withdrew his hand from Stella , looked straight into the businessmanâs blue eyes, and replied, âIâm sorry, but my cat i s very shy. She doesnât like strangers at all.â
The businessman was a little startled, but after a pause, he quietly nodded and smiled. âI understand,â he said. âCats are like that, arenât they? Theyâre usually so affectionate and clingy, but then they get shy and timid when guests are around, though they often act as if they own the house!â
âThereâs an old English saying, â Weston interjected.â Iâm not sure if youâre familiar with it. It goes like this...â
His eyes shifted towards Stella and with eyebrows cheekily raised, he continued, âEvery cock will crow
upon his own dunghill.â
The German businessman burst into laughter.
âWhat an interesting saying!â he exclaimed. âI will remember that!â
The two of them continued to chat in fluent German. Of course, everyone else couldnât really understand Shortly afterward, Weston deftly turned the topic back to business, and the cat was never mentioned ag The meeting was over, but Daisy was still staring at the area under the desk with a head full of doubt. Sh squinted at it in silence until her eyes suddenly met with Westonâs.
âExcuse me,â she blurted in panic. âIâll go compile all the necessary documents...â
âOkay.â Weston tossed his pen on his desk and gestured, âYou can go now.â
Daisy pursed her lips and turned around. She exited, closed the door behind her, and returned to her office.
The second she left, Weston reached down and pulled the woman who was still playing with his pants up onto his lap. âStop playing with my pants...â he murmured as he nuzzled against her neck, his hot breath blowing in her ear instead...â
