Chapter 805 “Meow!”
Stella didn‘t know where she found the courage to do it, but in that desperate moment, it was all that she could think of.
“Meow!” she cried again.
The sound of a cat‘s 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 on 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.
“Is that your cat, Mr. Ford? Sounds just like my own little Persian! She always cries out in a soft voice, just like that! Everyone adores her!”
“You have a cat too?” Weston asked in impeccable German. “My little one here isn‘t a Persian, though.”
“What breed is your cat then?” the businessman responded with interest.
“She‘s just a little mongrel,” Weston replied, his eyes darting toward Stella, whose face was twisted with anger. The sight, however, only made him smile.
“Is that so?” the businessman continued. He seemed excited to find another cat person. “Well, breeds don‘t matter anyway! All cats are adorable, aren‘t they? Yours must be very clingy since you brought it here with you in the office!”
“Yes,” Weston laughed. “She‘s very clingy indeed!”
He reached down and stroked Stella‘s chin as if he was really playing with a cat.
Stella glared at him with fiery eyes, yet she didn‘t dare to make a peep of sound. She couldn‘t 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.
“Why is it so quiet all of a sudden?” he asked. “I wonder if I could have the honor to have a look at your beloved
cat?»
all.”
