Chapter 21
By the time Shaun returned home from his morning run, he was startled to discover the grand feast spread out across the table.

“You…”

“Shaunny, I felt bad that you ate the cat pudding last night so I’m making it up to you with this breakfast spread,” Catherine said thoughtfully as she served him a bowl of oat porridge.

There was a strange expression on his face. “It’s alright. You’ve already been punished last night.”

She stood there with a tight feeling in her throat. “I was truly grossed out after having the cat’s food last night,” she replied slowly a couple of seconds later.

He lowered his gaze to the ground without commenting further.

“Are you going to work? Should I drop you off at the subway station?” he asked before heading to the door once he finished his breakfast.

Catherine was startled but soon shook her head from side to side. “I was fired.” The desolation was audible in her voice.

It was obvious from his forehead that he was frowning. He was told that she was working at her family company. The relationship between her and the Jones family seemed pretty tense. “Alright, you can focus on looking after Fudge at home.”

Pfft, she was not going to spend her time cat sitting.

“I’m planning to look for another job. But don’t worry, I’ll not let it get in the way of looking after Fudge.”

“Whatever,” he muttered and left the house.

For the next couple of days, Catherine kept herself occupied looking for a job.

There were plenty of openings for interior design or architecture-related roles. However, in order to disguise her background as the young lady of the Jones family, she had to keep her previous professional experience a secret.

Besides, other big-scale companies were only willing to hire her as an assistant, given her young age.
