As he observed her writing her demands on the paper, his cheeks grew red from embarrassment. His chest felt tight when he heard those words.
She was writing the words she had mentioned previously on the same sheets while mumbling them. She then put the documents in the folder and the pen on top before signing it.
Titan, who was feeling defeated, was on the verge of grabbing the collar that had been set down on the table, but she was quick enough to keep it in her hand.
She got up. She uttered in a firm voice, “No, I’ll do it. I’m the cat owner.”
He refused to answer, still surprised by what she said.
Stephanie stood up and made a few steps in his direction. “Sir Titan, I believe my old Titan would be pleased to have this with you.” She sat beside him.
He didn’t anticipate Stephanie’s body leaning forward as she reached out to touch him. Titan flicked his head and noticed that his face was almost pressing her skin, just as it had been the night before when he had been covering her with blankets.
More than in their first encounters, he could feel her safety and warmth radiating from her. He couldn’t help but close his eyes and inhale her fruity perfume in the same manner as before because they were so near together.
Was that the rationale behind his acceptance of her demands, no matter how absurd they seemed to him?
Titan tried to take in the reassuring energy she was giving out, despite the fact that he couldn’t explain what he was experiencing.
His chest tightened after it was finished, and he tried to turn away as the collar was fastened around his neck. Despite being a little thick, the cloth was cozy on his skin.
“From now on, you’ll be my cat, and I’m your human.” She drew herself away and adjusted the cat collar, as well as his shirt collar and ties tucked in his dark vest, while he pressed it with his palm and concentrated his piercing look on her.
Titan’s gaze was piercing, but Stephanie didn’t seem to mind and instead giggled as if she found what she was seeing amusing with her glistening, enlarging eyes.
Then, she pressed her hands on his face and pulled herself closer to him, gazing at him. “Wow, you look cute, Sir Titan!” she squealed, overjoyed.
To check himself out in front of the mirrors lining his office, he almost leaped out of his chair. The first time he looked at himself in such a way, he felt awkward.
However, a little while later, as she stood and watched him, he caught a strange feeling of acceptance for Stephanie’s ludicrous idea.
No matter how much he tried to conceal himself, the collar still stuck out, so he grimaced and turned to face Stephanie.
She waved the folder with the recently signed contract with her without saying anything at that very moment. “Sir, I appreciate the new internship contract.” She pursed her lips while grinning.
Titan scoffed and averted his look, looking at himself once more as he rubbed his bewildered face. Then, the door opened.
When Simon and a woman walked into his office, he turned and his eyes widened.
Stephanie turned her head, her eyebrows lifted in astonishment, to see Simon come with a mature, elegant woman of tall stature, walking in Titan’s direction.
But the more she studied the woman, the more Titan’s characteristics she resembled, assuming that she was Titan’s sister or a distant relative.
She didn’t wear that much makeup. Her face was as fair as Titan’s skin, glowing, despite her age. Her body remained slim and fit as if she has gone to the gym her whole life.
Stephanie’s attention turn to her boss when the woman was standing close to him. Simon was standing in front, beside the woman, as he tucked his hands in his pockets.
She smiled while pressing her sunglasses firmly on her head. She raised her eyebrows when she turned to look at Stephanie since she was unsure of who Stephanie was. She turned to face Titan and noticed the cat collar around his neck.
