Chapter 358
“Yeah, this little fella digs holes in the dirt of the flowerbed outside every day, making himself dirty. Hence, I can only give him a bath every three or five times.”
“Woof!”
Reddy stuck out its tongue and wagged its tail, staring at Maisie with its brown eyes as if it liked her very much.
Stephen put down his teacup and said, “This fella was abandoned by its original owner. I saw it wandering on the road pitifully and brought it back.
“I brought it to the veterinary hospital for a checkup, and this little fella is in good health apart from some gastrointestinal discomfort, not any skin diseases. The original owner probably abandoned it because they couldn’t keep it.”
Maisie rubbed the fur on its head.
No wonder kids like it. This furry little cutie is really addicting.
“Zee, what brought you here all of a sudden?”
Maisie put the dog down, walked up to the couch, and sat down. “The renovation of Vaenna is almost done, so I’m here to ask you. If you’re still willing to take over the company, the position of the chairman is still yours to hold.”
Stephen was stunned, and his eyes dimmed. “Since I’ve handed Vaenna to you, I’ve never thought of intervening…”
Maisie said, “You don’t have to intervene, but the board still needs you, doesn’t it?” She then added, “I still want you back at the company before you retire, not to mention that the company needs you too.”
Stephen thought for a while and looked at the little fella that was lying at his feet, yawning. “But there won’t be anyone home to take care of him.”
“Hire a housekeeper, just like back then, so you won’t have to be too tired. You don’t have to worry about the money needed to hire the housekeeper. Besides, I’ll be more relieved if there’s someone here to take care of you.”
Seeing that Maisie was worried about him, Stephen gave off a smile. “Then I’ll leave it to you.”
He then thought of something and said with a solemn expression, “The day after tomorrow is your mother’s death anniversary. You should go visit her.”
Maisie could not help but be startled
Mother’s death anniversary…
She would have almost forgotten about it if her father had not mentioned it to her.
