Chapter 916 Date Part Two
Samuel was looking through the materials Jesper sent him when his phone received a message.
Naturally, he put the material down, unlocked the phone, and saw Natalie in a photo.
Her loosely tied hair revealed her fair and delicate neck. There were a few strands of hair scattered on the side of her cheeks. Her blue and white sportswear made her look youthful and beautiful. The angle from which the picture was taken made his heart thump when he looked at it.
In fact, it made him take a few extra glances at it.
When he realized there was a long paragraph below that photo, he began reading the message Xavian sent him.
Jesper was waiting for his employer to put his signature on the documents when he noticed something was off. Samuel was staring at his phone with furrowed eyebrows as the look swirling in his sharp eyes became complicated. Jesper couldn’t help but wonder what exactly was making his employer feel awful.
With his superior eyesight, Jesper glanced at the phone and got the gist of the message. So Ms. Nichols has been invited on a date by a young, handsome man? I bet that is what is making Mr. Bowers feel awful.
He dared not to interfere with his employer’s private matter, so he simply stood at the side silently and pretended he had not seen anything. Still, I doubt he’s going to do anything since he’s not an impulsive person.
Just as he thought about that, Samuel stood up from his chair.
“Mr. Bowers?”
“I have something I need to take care of.” Samuel pulled out his drawer, took out a silver mask, and wore it.
“What about the documents?” Jesper couldn’t help but ask.
Samuel adjusted his mask and uttered, “Leave it there. I’ll read them when I have the time.”
Jesper was speechless. That document is worth a billion. By the time you read it, we’ll be losing tens of millions.
Before he could stop his employer, Samuel had already left his office.
He shook his head and sighed. Even though Mr. Bowers treats outsiders coldly, he was the opposite when it comes to Ms. Nichols. He’ll put everything down and chase after her even for the smallest matters.
When Natalie arrived at the location Jerome mentioned, she saw it was a cattery.
Jerome was already there. In his embrace sat an adorable cat.
Since he spent the majority of his time in the military, his body was muscular. Despite his tall and slender figure, when he held that soft cat in his embrace, it made him look much gentler.
The female employees of the establishment wanted to flirt with him, but he kept his distance away from them. It wasn’t until Natalie showed up that he revealed a bright smile. “Over here!”
Natalie went through a simple disinfection process before entering the cattery.
There were so many cats inside that the moment she walked in, five or six kittens were already strolling around her legs. She picked up a short-legged orange cat and sat next to Jerome. “So, this is the place you were talking about?”
“Isn’t it great?” Jerome raised the paw of the cat in his embrace.
“You understand me the best.” She patted the kitten’s head and smiled. “It’s been so long since I played with a cat. Back then, there were so many cats outside of our homes’ courtyards. I remember playing with Ternary, Heppy, and Twenny. Do you remember them?”
Life in the village was simple, and so cats were a crucial part of her childhood.
Jerome smiled. “I’m surprised you still remember them. Don’t you think the one I’m holding looks like Ternary?”
“It does!” She grabbed the cat in his embrace and held it with her left arm.
Her right arm was still holding the orange cat. Suddenly, her heart felt light, as though she had returned to her childhood.
He stared at the cats in her arms and explained, “This cattery was jointly opened by volunteers from the stray rescue station. These kittens may look healthy and energetic right now, but they used to be homeless stray cats.”
“I see.” After listening to his lesson, she looked around the building and took in the details with her eyes.
It was a pretty small establishment, and it didn’t really look like a business place. From its general appearance, the place appeared more like a home for the cats than a place that served customers.
Suddenly, she saw a familiar face outside of the cattery’s window. Isn’t that Jerry?
