Her worries were meant to be for naught, though. The reason was simple.
The following week, the man went overseas on a business trip.
When he was still around, she did not notice the size of the house.
After his departure, she realized that this house, which used to belong to her family, was actually a tad too big.
At least, with her alone in the house, she found it to be a little deserted. It felt as if her life were missing something.
The sudden emptiness of the house made her heart feel vacant.
"Seriously… He didn't even tell me that he's going on a business trip abroad…" she mumbled, feeling dejected.
It was a pity that a certain Mr. CEO, who had left without bidding her goodbye, was unable to hear her lamentation.
"Meow!"
At the meowing sound, she looked at the cat darting between her feet and smilingly squatted to carry it in her arms.
