When Jared was done bandaging Ellen’s wounds, he brought her downtown where they had lunch. After that, they went to a pet
store. He had decided to buy her a cat as a companion after sensing her loneliness on that day.
Ellen had always wanted a cat since she was a child, but she could not raise one because of her living arrangement. Now that she
had the tand space for a cat, she would love to have one.
Jared allowed her to pick her pet, and she selected a Ragdoll. To her surprise, she learned that the tiny cat was priced at 9

bought all the accessories and food for the cat.

could not let go of it when she reached home.

said, “I'll get you swater.”

Dressed in a black suit, Jared looked imposing despite his young age. It was not surprising that even pets would be scared of the
vibe that emanated from him.
“Alright now. Take good care of your cat. I'll need to drop by the office.” He stood up with the bottled water in hand. She sent him
to the entrance with the cat in her arms. There, he suddenly rubbed the cat's head and said, “Okay now. Daddy's leaving! Have fun
with your mommy!”
Ellen's face turned as red as a tomato at the suggestive titles. He was pleased to see her shy expression and left her place with a
satisfied smile on his face.
Connor received a call when he was at home. He was informed that the project he invested 700 hundred thousand into had
suffered great losses, and it was impossible to recoup his money. Those were the only liquid assets he owned.
