My Cats Talked, and I Broke Up With My Boyfriend Chapter 2

After bandaging my hand, I immediately called my boyfriend. The call went through, but no one answered. I tried three times, still nothing.

Chloe was sitting next to me and knew I was calling Daniel. She said, "My cousin Daniel seems really busy lately. He goes to bed at nine and keeps his phone on silent."

She seemed to know more about my boyfriend than I did.

I gave up on calling and decided to confront Daniel in person tomorrow to find out what was going on.

Just then, Lucky spoke again.

"Ugh..Busy with work? My company gets off at six sharp every day, no overtime ever!"

"It's because a week ago, I got struck by lightning. Every night at nine, my soul possesses this cat, and it can't return to my body until six in the morning."

"Cats live up to twenty years at most. Am I going to have to live like this for twenty years? And if the cat dies, will I die too?"

So that's what happened...

Well, then, there was no need to see him in person.

It must be fate, helping me hear all this. I silently gritted my teeth, tidying the living room without a word. In my mind, I was already plotting how to get revenge on that despicable pair!

Chloe got up and sat on the sofa, asking sweetly, "Nova, how's the job hunt going? When can I start at your company?"

At that, I paused. Chloe. Daniel introduced her as his cousin a week ago. He even called his mother right then, saying he'd picked up his cousin and would arrange a place for her to stay.

Now it seemed his "mother" on the phone might not have been his mother at all. It was all a charade they played for me.

Daniel pawned off this supposed cousin on me, asking me to look after her for a while and help her find a job. Because I had some extra cash, and being naive, I agreed without hesitation.

I truly loved Daniel and was serious about him, seeing a future with marriage. I thought, since we're family, we should help each other out.

That very day, we found this two-bedroom, well-furnished apartment, and moved in together. Who would've thought...

I turned to look at Chloe. She was indeed very pretty. Big, round eyes, the sweet, delicate type that easily charmed people.

I smiled at this seemingly harmless, delicate woman. "Don't rush. The company is having layoffs right now. Once they're done, I'll introduce you right away."

"Nova! I knew you were the best!" Chloe beamed at me.
