The Vet Of A Bachelor

🐶 Chapter Six 🐱

(Third person's POV)

Jumin blinked tiredly as he and his assistant were driven back to the C&R International building. He had recently come back from meeting with the SM Investment Corporation in the Philippines, which went well as usual but his attitude turned bitter as soon as he learned his father had set him up on a date with someone he deemed attractive enough for his son. To put things simply Jumin wrapped up the meeting quickly, and didn't bother to notify his father of his return due to being worried about Elizabeth the Third. He was happy to find she wasn't seriously injured and relieved to see she didn't seem to be in any pain.

Jaehee had mentioned that the doctor was injured while checking how badly injured Elizabeth's paw was and Jumin had originally planned to send her an invitation to the next charity party Addeline was organizing for the RFA, but Jaehee insisted he apologize in person. This was one of those rare occasions where Jumin agreed with Jaehee and he regretted it as soon as he realized the doctor and his date were the same woman.

Sure she was attractive but Jumin couldn't say he had taken a liking to her. She seemed to be running late for a surgery, which he found completely inappropriate for a doctor but after learning of her incredibly stressed and busy schedule. Sure he was busy too and had Elizabeth to worry about but he learned that this woman had three dogs, a chimpanzee and four cats. It seemed like her life was just nonstop animals, which he didn't find too appealing. Which is why he made it clear he had no romantic intentions

But he had to give her some credit, seeing as she is young, around his age, and was setting up meetings with nutritionists to develop a cake cats can eat and then a Cafe for them to eat them at. He had to admit, this was a project he wanted to be on board with. Regardless of his busy schedule and the numerous times he couldn't get his own projects off the ground. To say the least, he was impressed her, but he wasn't too impressed with her; top vet or not.

"Mr. Han?"

Jumin blinked, not realizing he had zoned out on Jaehee who was telling him his schedule for the day. "Mr. Han dd you hear anything I said?" Jaehee asked and received a blunt 'No.' in return. Jaehee sighed and handed Jumin his schedule while taking out an aspirin for the headache she knew she was going to be getting. "Your father wishes to see you before you return to your office. He said it was urgent." She said adjusting her glasses. "Alright." He said looking down at the schedule Jaehee handed him. Other than the meeting with his father he could just take his work home with him, there are no meeting and it was mostly just signing his signature on documents and preparing for future meetings.

He had a dinner scheduled with his father and a coffee company they were planning to invest in but his presence wasn't required. Maybe he could go home after the meeting with his father? He didn't feel like spending the rest of his day in his office.

(Reader's POV)

"Done!" I cheered as I signed my daily performance reports for this hospital. I've been sitting here for about three hours writing up reports and reading through e-mails from the manager at my rescue sanctuary in Kyoto. Now it's time to go home to my lovely pets and watch (Show) until I fall asleep.

"Thank god the day is over!"

I laughed as Shion walked into my office and sunk into one of my chairs. "Come on Shion, I need to head home." I said putting my reports in a folder. "Can I just crash in your office tonight? I don't want to go home." She said and I shook my head. "No but you can come home with me and then tell me why you don't want to go home." I said grabbing my goat, purse and keys. "Can we pop open a bottle of wine?" She asked as I walked out of my office. "Yes but you're getting the bottle from my upstairs cabinet." I said turning around and locking my door. "Fine." She said pulling out her phone.

I watched as she typed on her phone for a bit before shoving it back into her purse. "Let's go, I just told Akko I'll be crashing at your place tonight." She said and I frowned. "Will she be okay with that?" I asked as we started walking towards the garage. "Well she'll have to be, we got into another argument this morning and I'm still pretty upset about it." She said crossing her arms. I nearly rolled my eyes as I heard this.

Shion is a lesbian and Akko is the name of her lover, but sadly for both of them they aren't as compatible as they were before. In fact as of late I've had to ready a guest room for Shion because she's been staying with me so often, she might as well be my room mate. She's not happy and I know that Akko isn't happy, so why not just end it and save yourself from a crash and burn ending?

"(Name)!"

I jumped and watched a familiar figure rush towards me. It was Valerie, the assistant that did not inform me that I would be auctioned off at last night's auction. "(Name), thank goodness I caught you before you left for France-" Did everyone know I was supposed to be going to France except me? "Take this." She said holding up a small . I fumbled a bit with my coat and the kennel before glaring at Valerie. "What in the-" I was up off by Valerie who excitedly shushed me and opened the cage from the end facing her. "Look what was dropped off at the Rescue Center in Kittleton and addressed to you!" She squealed reaching in. I looked at Shion who was looking at the kennel excitedly.

My head snapped back at the kennel as I heard a small wine. "Get ready!" She squealed before pulling out two pups. "Oh my goodness!" I cooed as the two foxes looked up at me. "They're so precious!" I said leaning down and setting the kennel down. "Glad you think so." Valerie said as I took the two from her hands. I smiled down at the two pups and handed one to Shion.

"They're yours now." What? "Have a good time in France (Name)!" Valerie said turning around. "W-Wait a minute!" I said grabbing Valerie by her sleeve. "What do you mean they're mine?" I asked holding up the fox pup. "They were a gift from the Save the Foxes foundation that you donated to a few months ago." She said happily. "For what?" I asked and she shrugged. "Your donation I guess." She said and I looked down at the Fox in my hand. It's a cute fox I guess but how are my other home pets going to react to two new foxes?
