Chapter 1067


    She ced the little furball on the couch before gently stroking its head. With narrowed eyes, it enjoyed her touchfortably.


    Right then, its ears pricked up as though she heard something. Ruka told, “I''ll leave it to you, Callie.”


    She knew that she should not disturb it when it was on its mission to chase the rat out. Leaving the cat with its mission, she


    closed the door and informed the maids not to open it for the time being. Losing the little furball when the rat had not been


    caught yet was thest thing she hoped for.


    Ruka returned to her room to read some books. In the meantime, a maid, who was headed downstairs after cleaning, was doing


    her duty by the door of the study room. Her job was to clean every single room and so she opened the door and carried a bucket


    of water toward the windows to wipe them.


    At that moment, a fleeing rat squirmed out of a corner with a cat hot on its heels. Both of them went outside through the open


    door.


    After spending an hour reading, Ruka reckoned that little furball might have scared the rat enough. With the hope that the rat


    might run out of the room on its own the moment she opened the door, she decided to take a look at the situation.Text ? by N0ve/lDrama.Org.


    Ruka reached the closed door that led to the study room. Stretching out her hand, she opened the door and quickly closed it


    behind her after entering. She listened attentively to the surroundings. Why is it so quiet?


    “Meow!” She meowed to draw the little furball''s attention.


    Still, the room was in total silence and there was no meowing sound of a cat. Ruka’s heart pounded rapidly as she wondered,


    Where is that little furball?


    She began to search every nook and cranny of the room—beneath the couch, behind the curtains and atop the book racks with


    the help of adder, Yet, Callie was nowhere to be seen.
