Chapter 10


    Chapter 10


    Catherine forced out a self-deprecating smile.


    Ever since joining thepany, not once had she pulled rank. She always worked with much caution


    and conscientiousness.


    She would be thest one to leave the office every day, working overtime and treating everyone else


    with respect at all times. It was unexpected that things would end up like this.


    After leaving thepany, she walked around the area alone without a specific destination in mind.


    During that time, Ethan called her a few times but she refused to answer his calls.


    She headed back to Jadeite Bay after buying some snacks and ingredients from the supermarket.


    As soon as she stepped foot into the house, Fudge came forward to greet her while wagging its tail in


    the air.


    She patted the cat on its head and murmured, “Fudge, you’re the only one left that likes me now.”


    “Meow,” the cat replied. It closed its eyes in satisfaction, giving the woman full permission to stroke it.


    The corners of her lips twitched into a smile. “I bet you want some dried fish snacks, don’t you? I’ll get


    you some.”


    Shaun was not home even in the afternoon. Both the woman and the cat enjoyed a simple lunch. Then,


    she threw herself onto the couch and began searching for work on herptop.


    10 p.m. at night, Shaun returned to a brightly-lit living room.


    Over on the couch, Catherine was in the middle of feeding Fudge a small piece of chip.


    “Is this the kind of trash you feed my cat when I’m not home?”


    His handsome features coldly scanned the table full of snacks. There were bags of chips, spicy fries,


    cheese, chocte biscuits…


    A tiny smear of chocte was even found on Fudge’s whiskers.


    “I just fed Fudge a tiny bit. A real tiny bit.” She gestured with her thumb and index finger, showing just


    how little it was. “Fudge keeps pestering me to give her some, so I had no choice but—”


    “What does a cat know? Shouldn’t an adult human like you know better?” Annoyed, he swept


    everything on the table into the trash can. “Don’t eat trash like these in the house anymore. I don’t like


    the smell.”


    Catherine looked at the snacks inside the trash can with a grimace. Oh God, she could not fathom how


    a person could actually be disgusted by the smell of snacks.


    What a weirdo!


    Nheless, reality forced her to twitch her lips into a ttering smile. “You’re right, Shaunny. These


    are trash. I’ll listen to you and stop eating them.”

    “Take a look at yourself in the mirror and see how pretentious you are.”


    The man could not be bothered. He picked the cat up and retreated to his bedroom.


    “Shaunny, you had a long day. Are you hungry? Should I cook something for you? I make really


    delicious pasta.”


    She shamelessly followed after him in tiny steps.


    He paused in his tracks. The food served in the restaurant he went to earlier for the business meeting


    was so spicy that he barely ate any. His stomach grumbled a little upon hearing her suggestion.


    She seized the man’s brief hesitation and offered right away, saying, “I’ll make some pasta right now.


    Go on and have your shower.”


    He looked over his shoulder to throw her a quick nce. The soft orange light shining on her from the


    top made her appear lovelier and warmer than usual.


    15 minutester, Catherine showed up by the door of the master bedroom holding a bowl of pasta.


    She knocked on the door, but there was no reply.


    Left with no better choice, she opened the door slightly. “Shaunny, the food’s ready.”


    There was no one in the room. A faint outline of the man’s silhouette could be seen on the frosted ss


    of the shower.


    Dazed by the sight, she could not help imagining how the man would look without clothes on.


    Both her cheeks reddened at the creation of her imagination.


    Ah, hold on, she should not be thinking about this.


    Just when she was about to turn around and leave, the frosted ss door was pushed open.


    Shaun stepped out of it, undressed. However, there was a towel that was casually tied around his


    waist. His hair, still damp from the shower, sent droplets of water trickling down his chiseled jaw, all the


    way down to his chest.


    Her gaze slowly moved downward, following the motion of the water droplets. She gasped.


    It was anticipated that he had a nice build, but she did not expect his body to be this good.


    He had the perfect wheatish skin tone, not to mention the toned muscles that made up his body. The


    man was not exaggeratedly muscr like a bodybuilder, but every part of his body was defined.


    The fit body exuded a manly charm that only a matured man possessed. She lowered her gaze further


    and noticed his perfectly toned waist.


    “Have you seen enough?”


    The man’s husky voice suddenly rang in her ears.


    Catherine gathered herself instantly. She could feel the heat burning in her cheeks.


    She pretty much grew up seeing Ethan’s impable handsome face. How could she let herself be


    carried away after just looking at another man?


    Useless.


    “I… I’m here to deliver your food. Hurry up and eat it or the pasta is going to clump together soon.”


    She put the bowl away immediately. Just when she was leaving the room, she walked on the edge of


    the mat and tripped. She lost her bnce and fell forward.


    In the span of that few seconds, she thought she had grabbed hold of something but still fell face down


    to the ground nheless.


    Fortunately, shended on the mat, so it did not hurt too much.


    When she opened her eyes again, the first thing that entered her sight was the man’s long legs and…
