Soon, they arrived at the apartment Corinne shared with Xante and Aaron.

As soon as she entered the unit, Corinne curled herself up on the sofa. Having not seen her for half a year, her pet cat was so excited that it could not stop rubbing itself against her.

Aaron went to the open-plan kitchen to get her a warm cup of milk. “Here you go, Boss,” he said as he placed it on top of the table.

“Thanks,” said Corinne, but she did not touch it. Instead, she remained seated with Mimi curled up in her lap, lost in thought.

Corinne glanced at Annie. “Who are you to tell me what to do?”

Annie was speechless. Corinne had never spoken to her like that before. ‘She must be angry at me because I’m related to Uncle Jeremy,’ she thought.

Aaron washed up some fruit and placed them on the table before smiling and saying to Annie, “Don’t worry. The cat goes for regular deworming at the vet, so it’s safe.”
