“Oh my God. So gorgeous!”
“Of course! Elizabeth is the champion of the International Pet Cat Competition for four consecutive years! ” Seeing her beloved cat getting so much attention, David feels quite satisfied.
David wants Lily to hold Elizabeth. But when he tries to catch her, Elizabeth jumps up swiftly onto a stand which is just several inches below the rooftop. She appears graceful and cold.
David scratches his head and says with resignation, “Forget it. Let’s go see her daughter.”
He takes Lily to see the little ragdoll inside the house.
Just weaned, the little ragdoll is as small as a palm and as white as a snowball. The hair on her ears is somewhat gray. She is wobbling on the ground and is very clingy.
Watching the kitty rubbing against the back of her hand, Lily feels her heart melting. She wants to take her home right now.
David asks, “Miss Lily, have you ever raised a cat before?”
“...Nope.”
David explains in detail how to raise a cat. He tells Lily what kind of cat food she should feed the cat during different stages. Lily listens carefully and even takes out her phone to take notes.
“Woof! Woof!”
Suddenly a black dog dashes in from the yard, which gives Lily a great shock.
After checking the dog, Lily finds it is a black German shepherd dog that looks awe-inspiriting. Behind him is a little, clumsy German shepherd dog which wobbles in.
Lily asks in surprise, “You have a German shepherd dog?”
“Yeah. He is Krist.” David calls the dog and complains as if he was angry that the dog didn’t live up to his expectations, “He knows nothing but to eat. He also found himself a girlfriend when he was out playing.”
The German shepherd dog is full of vigor and the yard can’t keep him in. So he always goes outside to play. The rich girl across the street also has a German shepherd dog too. Two dogs like playing together. Then the dog across the street got pregnant.
The rich girl was furious and came to David’s door to swear at him. David could only keep smiling and compensate her with money. Eventually, the rich girl calmed down and tossed the little puppy at him before leaving.
Lily laughs her heart out and she gloats, “I always thought German shepherd dog is very awe-inspiring. But yours sounds like a husky. He went out and got another dog pregnant. He is good.”
David sighs, “Miss Lily, I have suffered enough. Will you stop laughing at me?”
“Okay.” Lily stops laughing and asks him, “What about this little one? Are you going to keep him?”
“I can’t. It takes too much energy.”
Seeing his eye look, Lily knows what he is up to. She rejects immediately, “No. The place I live doesn’t have a yard. The landlord is not going to allow it. Besides, I don’t know how to raise a dog.”
“Alas. Poor thing.” David strokes the puppy, “I will find you an owner when my hand recovers.”
After some chatting, Lily plans to go home. But she feels embarrassed to take the kitty home without giving David anything. So she wants to pay David, but David refuses to take the money.
“Miss Lily, if you pay me, then you despise me.” David says seriously, “I can see that you love cat. That’s why I am giving the kitty to you.”
Lily thinks for seconds and says, “Then at least let me take you to lunch.”
David points at the hand in plaster and says, “I can’t go out to have lunch like this. I heard that Miss Lily was a good cook. How about you cook me a meal instead?”
“Okay.”
Today is her day off. Besides, she needs to cook lunch after getting back. So she may as well do it here.
When Lily enters the kitchen, doorbell goes off.
David rushes to the outside. He thinks it must be Louis. But when he opens the door and sees Louis, still he pretends to be surprised, “President Smith, what are you doing here?”
“To bring you a document.”
“Okay, thanks boss.” David reaches to get the document and wants to close the door with his foot, but he is then stopped by Louis.
David asks, “President Smith, anything else?”
Louis says in a casual way, “I am your boss. I have come so far to bring you this document. Aren’t you going to pour a glass of water for me?”
“Because I think President Smith won’t enter my house.” David smiles and says, “Did you forget, President Smith? You don’t like animals with long hair and I raise ragdoll.”
