Chapter 5 – Be My Pet
Asher tilted his head slightly, his dark eyes gazing at her, his lips couldn’t help but curl, “Why should I help her? After all, it was you I applied for the job, not the eight year old, wasn’t it?”
His calm smile was like a demon in her eyes at this time, Mia took a deep breath to try to calm herself down and kept warning herself mentally that she couldn’t be angry, she couldn’t be angry, and Xiao Qing’s medical bills still depended on him.
“So how exactly are you going to help Haru?” Mia took a deep breath, her small face pale.
At her words, Asher’s eyes visibly lit up and his lips curled up in a seductive smile that eroded Mia’s heart.
“What else do you think you have to offer me?” Asher looked up to examine her pale face, his fingers tapping rhythmically on the sofa cup uncontrollably.
The tap was like a knock on her heart and her mood went up and down with it, she was about to speak but Asher beat her to it.
His eyes fell on her beautiful, flawless face, and that luscious, seductive, wonderful body, and an idea took shape in his mind, “The last thing I need is money, Miss Luo, you should know what I mean.”
Mia couldn’t have been more aware of the unabashed lust in his eyes.
Mia’s little face became paler, the blood fading from her face little by little.
“Asher …,” she said in a delicate voice with a faint plea.
The man being called waved his hand to interrupt her, his icy eyes fixed on her, “If you agree to be my pet, I will not only rescue that child, but I will also give the orphanage a sum of money to improve the living conditions of those children, and your share of the salary will be transferred to your account, no less, all this just for you to be my pet until I get tired of playing with you. ”This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
“What did you say!” Mia immediately lost her voice and her eyes went wide, “How dare you make me your pet? Asher you, you, you’re going too far!”
Asher, still sitting idly where he was, looked at her pale face, a touch of calculation surfaced under his eyes, and said in a relaxed, leisurely voice, “Of course, you can refuse, but the boy …”
He stared at her intently, “I remember the hospital only gave you three days, take away yesterday and today and you only have one day left.”
Lowering his brows and looking at his long, clean fingers, Asher waited for Mia’s reaction, “I have one condition, and that is to be my pet, that condition shouldn’t be too hard to meet, right?”
Mia was hanging on to tears, how could this man do this? Pets are not even as good as mistresses, this man is trying to insult her, he’s getting back at her, getting back at her for running away alone that night, he actually just wants her body …
Asher seemed to see through her hesitation, the corners of his lips still hooked up a cold smile, “To be or not to be, your choice, I will not force you, but you have to remember, the rest of that child’s life is in your hands, in case there is any problem … ”
“I …” A heart was hit hard and Mia was too sore to speak.
“You don’t want to?” Asher smiled blandly, “Since I don’t want to, I’ll go.”
With that, he literally turned around and prepared to leave.
Just as he reached the stairway and was about to go up, Mia’s shaky voice rang out behind him, “I promise you. ”
Asher turned around, his deep eyes unable to read his thoughts, “Are you sure?”
Seeing that icy face, Mia hesitated for a moment before finally puffing up her chest and nodding with trembling lips, “Yes, I promise, but I have one condition!”
Asher looked at her indifferently, “You should know that no one can negotiate any terms with me.”
Especially if he has his eye on the prey.
Mia shook her head, her small face pale and bloodless, “Not a condition, a plea to be exact, I I want you to make good on the promise you just made and call the hospital and also the orphanage immediately.”
At that, Asher snorted and looked at her contemptuously, “I, Asher, always say what I mean and do what I say, and you, as a qualified journalist, should fully understand that.”
That night, Mia took an early bath and lay in bed, her mind constantly replaying the scenes of her negotiations with Asher during the day, remembering that she would be someone else’s pet.
A sense of desperation and hopelessness gradually came over her, and Mia pulled the covers over her and wrapped herself into a ball in the airless quilt.
She needed to calm down now, and she now regretted so much that she had come to apply for this temporary girlfriend job in the first place, only to end up in such a desperate situation.
Lost in thought, she ignored the soft sound of the door opening and Asher’s tall, erect figure appeared beside the bed, looking at the shrunken Mia.
Bored to death, Mia opened the quilt a crack but didn’t see the bright light, and just as she tried to uncover it a large palm had acted for her.
A little surprised to see Asher, Mia asked with a wary look on her face, “What are you doing here?”
Asher turned back to close the door quietly and walked over to her bed, gazing at her from the bottom up, “I came to see if my pet was asleep.”
The word pet made Mia’s heart ache as if she’d been hit with a whip, even through her body.
Yes, how could she forget that from today she was such a man’s pet, and since he was a pet, he had his rights, didn’t he?
A self-deprecating smile tugged at her lips, and her delicate voice had a hollow ring to it, “Are we going to start fulfilling the pact now?”
Asher’s look of concentration made Mia swallow uneasily, her body automatically moving towards the bed furthest from him.
Her fleeing movement brought an unexplained fury to the bottom of Asher’s eyes, how dare this woman flee!
“Don’t want me to touch it? Or don’t you want me to know if you still have a first time?” Asher hauled her whole body around as he took hold of her ankle, “Don’t forget, you’re a pet now! A pet that can’t even catch a lover!”
Asher’s words slammed deep into her gut and Mia shivered all over, wrapping her arms around her chest.
Asher’s eyes fell on her skin, which was as white as ice and snow, and he wanted to kiss every inch of it and bathe and dress her with his own hands.
…
He walked over to the closet, selected a dress from it and tossed it right in front of her, saying without expression, “Put it on!”
The speed with which he changed his face made Mia flinch, the icy expression, the cold jaw, the straight lines, the eyes without the slightest warmth.
Mia’s heart slowly sank, swinging in circles of despair, knowing that in front of this man, she could only play the role he wanted, with absolutely no resistance.
The small fire that had just sparked in her mind was swiftly poured over with a pot of cold water and was fetal before it could burn.
Mia gritted her teeth to hold back the feeling of humiliation in her heart, but when she saw the supposed dress she was very angry and her whole body trembled uncontrollably from anger.
Is that a dress? It’s just two pieces of fabric stitched together! She looked back at the man standing next to her, “You want me to wear it questioning, “Wear this dress out?”
“Exactly.” Asher swept her off her feet and sat on the large bed, looking at the angry one, “Since it’s my pet, of course it needs to be well-trained, or those sharp claws can hurt me.”
Mia took a deep, shaky breath and picked up the piece of fabric, trying to keep the tears from falling from her eyes. Yes, she was the one who chose this path, and now she had to choose this man. Just as she turned to go into the dressing room, Asher suddenly called out to her, “Change right here.”
The blood faded instantly from her small face and she blushed.
Seeing the icy glare he shot her way, Mia closed her eyes deeply and began to undress in front of him with shaking hands.
Just as she was about to put the fabric on, Asher spoke again, “Throw the underwear away!”
Tears of humiliation finally escaped her eyes, and Mia tilted her head to try to get that wetness back, but she couldn’t do anything about it.
Thinking that he held Haru’s life in his hands, and even the future of the entire orphanage, Mia sucked in her nose, her eyes snapping shut as she quickly faded her body clean.
Asher looked at her humiliated face and his lips curled into a pleasant smile. He was punishing the woman, punishing her for her private descent into the mountains that night.
He had told her long ago when they met that she belonged to him, but this woman had taken his words for granted, so let him teach this little wildcat a lesson tonight!
