The Vet Of A Bachelor

🐶 Chapter Ten 🐱

Shion stared at me and I stared back. I know it was unprofessional of me to be so blunt but, in my defense, I panicked. Very few people have ever held Lord Tubbington, so I'm not sure how either of us will react to someone new holding him.

Would he scratch Jumin?

Would Jumin sue me if he does?

Does Jumin even know how to hold a cat?

I nearly laughed at that last question seeing as I worked with Elizabeth the Third. Looking down at the cage I sighed and let the Kennel on the table. This meeting will probably go nowhere if I don't let him hold Lord Tubbington. "I'm not too keen on letting people hold Lord Tubbington, especially strangers." I admitted. "After adopting him only myself, my ranch hands, Shion and my mother have held him so you have to understand that if I am going to let you hold him you can't be pushy." I said as I opened the door to the Kennel. "He needs to get use to your presence first and then we can see where it goes from there." I said reaching in and pulling out Lord Tubbington. "From what I can see your cat sure is handsome." Jihyun said smiling at Lord Tubbington. "Thank you for saying that Mr. Kim, I'm sure Lord Tubbington appreciated the compliment." I said as I adjusted Lord Tubbington in my arms. I felt lord Tubbington's tail swing harshly against my thigh and placed a hand on his head in an attempt to calm him down.

Looking down at my purse and back up at Lord Tubbington it clicked. I could have Jumin feed Lord Tubbington treats and ease Lord Tubbington into his arms. I do this all the time with kids at my animal sanctuaries, Jumin should be no different. "Here, hold him for a second." I said handing Lord Tubbington to Shion. "Now Jumin are your hands clean?" I asked as I slid my purse off my arm. "Yes they are." He said looking down at his hands. "Okay, I do this at my animal sanctuaries all of the time. Usually when introducing a child to a new pet but I figured this will be no different." I said opening the purse and pulling out a Ziploc bag with Temptations treats. "How about we sit down." Jumin said pulling out a chair. I nodded and sat I down in the chair in front of me.

I looked up as the door opened and smiled at the familiar feline that was handed to Jaehee. Jumin stood up and took Elizabeth the Third from Jaehee's hands. "Lunch will be brought up in ten minutes Mr. Han." The woman announced as she turned and walked out of the room. I looked over at Jumin who was petting Elizabeth lightly. "How is her paw doing? I don't think you scheduled a follow up." I said as I crossed my legs.

Not that I would have been seeing her for the follow up anyway, with all of the running around I do it's very unlikely that I could have had one of the interns or nurses look at her paw for her follow up. You probably read over the report of the follow up, but you very likely just scanned the file before signing off on it and placing it in the pile of patient portfolios so Zaylee could enter them into the computer.

"No I did not schedule a follow up, the medicine you prescribed worked because she was walking fine after a couple days." Jumin said looking up from Elizabeth. "Now, lets get down to business." He said as V, who was seated next to him, pulled out a portfolio. "As you know C&R International is a conglomerate company, meaning my company owns a controlling stake in a number of smaller companies, which will conduct their business separately." Jumin said and I nodded. "Well I could like to help you out. Being the top animal surgeon in the country I imagine you are incredibly busy." He said as a barely audible 'Duh.' came from Shion. I looked warning at Shion who was biting her lip and tapping her pen on her notepad. "Yes I can say that I am busy." I said turning back to Jumin. "Well, I feel that this will make your life much easier. I would like to help make this 'Cakes for Cat's' idea easier for you to execute by taking partial management of it." He said as V slid some papers over to me.

I picked up the paper, glancing at Jumin while Shion scooted closer. "The gist of the contract is I will be helping you with meetings, attending the meetings you can't make, the one you missed in France for example." Shion gave a small groan at the reminder. "I will be funding the launch of this project and in return you will give up a small percentage of your profit. You will also attend RFA parties, though you will not be an official member we feel that you could help better the image of our already great association." He said before V leaned over and whispered to him. "Oh, and a friend of ours, Luciel wishes to meet with one of the cats from your rescue sanctuaries twice a week." He said and I looked over at Shion. "Can this Luciel be trusted with cats?" I asked as I received two different answers from V and Jumin. A yes from V and a basic no from Jumin.

I looked over at Shion who flicked her eyes to the contract. I nodded at the silent message before turning to Jumin, V and Jaehee. "I would like to discuss the contract with my assistant and your assistant." I said causing Jaehee to look up from her hands. "Of course." Jumin said as the door opened. I looked back to see one cart with multiple plates of food and two crystal cat bowls.
