Chương 1: Meeting Him Accidentally
Stella's POV
"Please treat Stella with respect. And I'll make sure to bring you something special. Please rush up and give your mommy a kiss. Please remember how much I appreciate each and every one of you." That's what Alice said.
I repeatedly nodded in agreement with my boss, Alice Adelson, to show that I was listening. She retreated to the basement to gather up a few last-minute essentials. When she was done, she gave her cats a final embrace. Once she had finished what she was doing, she returned to packing her Louis Vuitton handbag and her plush black fur coat before heading to the airport. However, despite the fact that she is only a few hours away from her flight, she continues to talk.
"You'll find all of your emergency contact information in the refrigerator's top drawer. Don't let those numbers get away from you. Before you leave for school, please remember to lock them in their room. Please make sure the cats have enough food to eat while you're away."
"I'll follow your instructions, Ms. Adelson," I said.
"Let them play after they've eaten and drank. Don't forget to."
"Never fear; I've got this. They all going to be fine."
Alice shifted her focus back to her beloved cats. Luca, a Siamese cat, likes to play with his toys by rolling them across the floor. Both Luna, the Ragdoll cat, and Tucker, the Persian cat were obedient to Alice, and Luna's fascinating blue eyes drew Alice in.
"When you're not around, I'll make sure they will be fine, Ms. Adelson." There are so many times I've said this.
"Are you sure you can sleep here while I'm gone?" She asked, a little worried, as she removed her glasses case from her purse and donned her sunglasses.
"Yes." It was a tremendous relief to find a condo so close to my university's campus. I'd come here every day if I lived in this gorgeous condo.
"Ms. Adelson, it is important to remember that I will not be letting them go. The fact that I'm taking care of them is enough to put your minds at ease."
"Let me put it this way, Stella: you have my whole trust now so take care of them. I'll be back in a few weeks, so you don't have to worry."
Her cats, on the other hand, aren't interested in listening to her. They're used to seeing me now. I've been caring for Alice's cats for about two years now, and I've fallen in love with them. Almost exactly one year has passed since I arrived in this city to finish my Veterinary degree. These animals were like family to me. I'm also the one Alice trusts to look after her cats. As a result, I'm glad I got to meet Alice.
The first time I'll be staying with them for a long amount of time is this week. When Alice last took a vacation, she entrusted the care of her pets to a cat boarding facility. It didn't bother the cats, but Alice didn't enjoy how Luna's weight shrank so drastically while she was gone. As soon as I said that Luna is a finicky eater, she changed her mind and decided not to sue the cat facility.
Alice paid me adequately for this task because I have a lot of experience doing it. I'll get paid $500 to take care of her cats. Taking care of cats is expensive, and I can't believe it. No doubt her cats receive far more of her financial resources than she does. In addition, I'm grateful since I'm a college scholar and my parents provide financial support, which I greatly appreciate. My only expenses right now are the daily stipend and my flat charge.
It doesn't matter how much Alice loves these cats; I'll do everything in my power to make sure they're safe and happy while Alice is away.
When Alice looked at the wall clock, she saw that it was already noon.
"It's noon. If I don't leave fast, I will be late in the flight. Stella, you're in command of everything. Be sure to bear in mind everything I stated to you earlier today. Okay, my babies, I'll see you soon. Mommy is going to miss all of you so much."
"Ms. Adelson, I wish you a safe trip," I told to her.
"Stella, thank you very much for your kind words. Before I forget, a new neighbor has moved in next door. Sebastian Miller is his name. Take note of that!"
"Ms. Adelson, you're welcome. I'll handle the rest." My thoughts will be drawn to that.
"The young man appears to be pretty handsome, according to other residents here. In spite of this, you're familiar with the mentality of the New York billionaires, right?"
Ms. Adelson's words made me grin and nod, but I had no idea what she meant.
"He was described by those who knew him as being cold to strangers and uninterested in cats. So, pay close attention to my cats. I'm focusing on Luca because he likes to roam around the balcony by himself. Make certain he is the one you are watching and not the neighbor." With her brows slightly arched, she offers her advice.
"Noted Ms. Adelson." With a nod, I told her,
"Okay, I'm going to leave now. Make sure they've well looked after."
I promised her I'd give it my all. "Don't worry, Ms. Adelson; everything will be okay." With a nod, Alice turned to head for the elevator.
I stayed at the entrance door since the elevator door was taking a long time to open. She waved goodbye to her cats as she entered the elevator and the doors closed. I and the cats returned to the condo after that.
Finally, I had the place to myself. And all that's left for me to do is watch over these three cats till Alice gets home from her business trip and can take them in.
I was about to close the condo door when I noticed Luca standing there with his eyes peeled toward the opening. He raced out of the apartment and hid under the privacy divider on the balcony of the next-door neighbor as the alarm went off.
As I wiped one of my eyeballs against the thin space between the outer wall and the frosted glass divider, I said, "Luca, come back here." I made my way over to the terrace's thick limestone railing and peeked over it to see if the cat was still there. "Luca?"
In reaction, Luca started meowing. A few seconds later, I heard the sound of a person's footsteps. One of the first people to walk in front of me when I turned my back was a tall, well-built man with a clean-shaven mustache and beard. A black suit and clean white shirt were his attire. In his mid-twenties, he was just about to hit that milestone.
"Sebastian Miller?" I spoke to him in whispered tones.
He didn't say a word, but his eyes were glazed over as he stared at me.
Chương 2: She's Mine
Sebastian's POV
Once again, I am plagued by a furry pest cat.
Now it's a past afternoon, I've just returned from a business meeting when my phone wouldn't stop ringing. And there's a cat on my balcony now. I think this is a little too much for today.
Suddenly, as I was about to yell at the woman in front of me, I realized that her face was unfamiliar to me.
When I saw her in front of me, she had a straight face and black hair that covered her exquisite face. It also features a thin frame. Her bright pink lips and slender neckline also drew my attention.
She said she was sorry and apologized. As soon as she finished saying those words, I was struck by the beauty of her pink lips.
"I'm not sure how Luca fit there. Would you mind bringing him to me?"
My cock enjoys her accent when she uses such things. Was she expecting me to obey her orders? Isn't it obvious who she's talking to?
"Not at all," I said, my tone stern.
My forbearance has almost run out. This cat must vacate my condo, and this delightful diversion must be withdrawn. The last thing I want to do is run into her. If she's really my new neighbor, in which case she's exactly the type of woman I want to bang.
"Go to the front entrance of my condo to retrieve your pet cat."
"Oh, okay. Thank you, sir.'" she says with a chirp. 'Sir,' she called me. Is she picturing me as a frail old man?
My cock appreciates the way uncomplicated and unintimidating ladies communicate, and this is how they do it. This property was advertised as a private unit by the agent who sold it to me. It wasn't, however. But I think I'm in a good position.
She kept up with me as I approached the door. I could hear her footsteps following after me. My cockles twitch just thinking about her. It looks like she could fit three more girls her size inside her pink giant sweater and matching trousers. I'm stumped as to what to make of her outfit, which includes a pair of bright pink cat-head slippers on her feet. I can tell she's a little creature with delicate curves below.
I can't stop thinking about how hot she is.
If I had worn loose boxers today, I would have had to cover a tented groin, which would have been embarrassing.
After I unlocked the front entrance of my unit, she came in and took her pet cat with her. Steve Nyberg, the man who kept me up all night negotiating this acquisition transaction, appeared at the front door in less than a few minutes. He is Phoenix Capital Management Group's neediest, high-touch, annoyance-inducing investor associate, which I co-own with my older brother, Louis. We employed him as an associate in a show of gratitude to our father.
Shocking to see him at my door because he is not allowed to know where I live. There are only a few people that have access to this address, including my father, brother, and a few distant cousins.
He screams, "It's time to have a discussion. The girl next to you needs to go," he said with authority, his eyes fixated on her. "It's even more important."
As my chest tightened with rage, I clenched my hands. As a result of my exhaustion and Steve's harsh behavior toward her.
"Steve, you're the one who gets to go in first. It'll be just a minute," I said firmly.
"Please accept my apologies; yet, he is correct. Don't let your cats out next time," I cautioned her, my mind wandering elsewhere.
Her scared eyes meet mine as she lowers on her knees to pick up the cat. Seeing her from a new perspective has made me irrationally jealous. With those lips so close to my cock, I can almost feel her sucking me into her mouth.
"Yes, and I'll make sure he doesn't come near you."
"By the way, I've never seen you before. Are you a new resident here? Although I've only recently moved here, I know most of the residents already.
"I'm Stella Wilson, by the way. I'm a pet sitter here just beside your condo." she sputters. "So, I'll be looking after the cats while Alice, my boss is away for a few weeks."
"Aren't you attending your high school?" In order to get a sense of her age, I pose the inquiry.
"No. High school isn't something I do. I'm taking my Veterinary degree right now, I've already started college."
A person's voice became agitated as I listened in. Crap. I had completely forgotten that Steve was still here.
In my heart, I apologized to Stella, "Sorry, Stella, but I have to go inside right now," and I looked into her eyes.
I followed the sound of his voice into my living room and slammed the door behind me.
"What the hell is this all about?" This is something I'm curious about.
As if he owned the home, he takes a seat on my sofa with his feet pushed up on my table.
"Steve, how did you end yourself here?' Who told you my address?
It appears as though his brows are furrowing as he concentrates. "Your father told me. Why? Unless I'm mistaken, Is this a well-kept secret because you've brought a woman along?"
"I'm sorry I even brought it up. Please explain to me why you came to see me, please. " My request is formal, yet it is conveyed with courtesy. He is, after all, a close buddy of my father's and a trusted confidant.
"It is imperative that this deal be executed within a week. Two weeks is the maximum length of time permitted. By tomorrow night, if I had my way, we'd have a signed contract in hand. But the way you've treated Mr. Bill and the additional demands you've made on his people aren't going over well with them. It's irrational. You make it clear to the partners that we're willing to walk away if necessary. This time, there are no sacrifices to be made! The only option is for them to sign it now, or we're done. "
I push my lips together as I sit across from him on the recliner. "There's no way you're kidding me, right?"
"But these Mr. Bill folks at the table need to know that we're not playing games with them," he continues. "They are a must for us. There is a pressing need for our help. Tonight, when we meet at the table, make sure you explain it well."
"Wait a minute, what did you say tonight?" I shout, "I've been trying to get that point across for the past twenty-three hours! Tomorrow morning at eight o'clock, we will meet again. "
In response, he gets up from the couch and walks away. "We can't afford to give them time to shop our contract around to the competitors, 7:00 p.m. tonight is the deadline for this agreement's finalization."
As much as I'd hate to admit it, he's right. This point has been reached after several months of work. We must hurry up and finish this transaction.
This development has left me about five hours to relax, shower, get dressed, and drive to work. "Fine," I answered. "Remember that we've been working on this for months, so I'll be there. Whether it takes a few days or a few weeks, it will be time well spent."
"Agreed, but it's better to act sooner rather than later."
As I accompany him to the front door and open it for him, we say our goodbyes.
Steve walked out of the condo when we were done talking. I got a flashback to the girl I'd just met. I've been thinking about her. As soon as this arrangement with Mr. Bill comes to an end, I'll take action. I'll take Stella at any cost. When I'm done with her, I'm going to gobble her right up. In all likelihood, the beautiful bloom will be destroyed. But that doesn't matter to me at all. Now that I've seen her, I have to have her.
