Why is Sam here?! Sophia hesitated for several seconds without opening the door. Then, an agitated scratching sound came from outside the door. It sounded like an animal was desperately clawing at the door.

Straightening out her hair and her clothes, she opened the door only to see Sam holding a Husky on a leash. As she was slow to open the door, the excited Husky had scratched the door until the paint peeled. Her eyes spun in confusion at the sight, and she pretended not to know the dog as she asked, “Master Sam, w-what brings you here?”

As usual, Sam was wearing a pair of sunglasses. He seemed to be smiling, and it made his 40-year-old self look very young. As the corners of his mouth curved upward, he said, “Judge is your dog, right?”

She smiled in response, but it looked terrible. Then, she resolutely answered, “Nope; I’ve never seen this dog before.”

Judge had smuggled itself in through the luggage. So, nobody knew that it belonged to her. Besides, it really isn’t mine! The name registered on the dog ownership certificate is Stanley Fletcher! Thus, she firmly believed that she had not lied. Even so, she didn’t dare to meet the dog’s fierce gaze.

Seeming to realize that she was refusing to acknowledge it, Judge lifted its paws to jump on her. However, Sam pulled on the dog leash and held it back. He seemed to be smiling as he said, “Oh, is it not yours? I thought I saw you petting its head on the beach a while back…”

Sophia replied, “Yeah. I thought it looked pretty, so I petted it.”

The oversized sunglasses hid all the emotions behind his eyes. Still, he seemed to believe her. “Well, I’ll take care of it for the time being. When its owner turns up, I’ll return it to them.”

She hurriedly complimented him, “Master Sam, you’re such a warm-hearted person.”

Playing along with her, he said, “Of course. It’s the Edwards Family annual meeting. As one of the elders in the family, I should not overlook these tiny matters too.”

 

She smiled in reply, feeling extremely embarrassed.

However, he did not leave. Holding Judge by its leash, he stood at the door and asked her, “I heard that you plan to start a pet luxury goods brand. Is that true?”
