Million dollar bride

Chapter 30: Cat raising



Ella looks at his text messages. This offer isn't bad either. She got up and went to her bedroom. She turns on the television and watches a movie. Then she called the cat shop to order a British Shorthair. Putting my phone down on the table, I turned off the TV and walked over to the bed, lying down.
It was over one o'clock in the morning and she still couldn't sleep. She stared at the ceiling, thinking about what Rika had told her earlier.
Ella tried to close her eyes, but the figure of David kept popping up in her mind. Sleeping alone on the king-sized bed, she felt something was missing. She switched sleeping positions, the figure still appearing in her subconscious.
Ella got out of bed, went to the dresser, pulled out a David coat, and put it on. The shirt was baggy for her petite figure. The scent on David's shirt helped her fall asleep.
When the sunlight outside the window hit Ella's eyes, she woke up. She sniffed the shirt she was wearing. David's marks were still left on his shirt. She recalls the memory of being with him at his secret house. It was the happiest moment of her life. Hugs and passionate kisses make her heart beat faster. Her cheeks were hot.
She shook her head, giving up her thoughts, and glanced at her watch. She rolled her eyes. Ten o'clock in the morning. She quickly got out of bed, went to the bathroom, and changed.
As she walked down the stairs, she met Rika, who was very excited.
"You go outside?" Ella asked.
“Yes, I need to prepare some things, absolutely no mistakes,” Rika said excitedly.
"Prepare?"
“The party is coming after my brother returns. Did you forget?”
Ella was stunned for a moment. Mr. Harry had reminded her of the party, if Rika hadn't told her, she would have forgotten.
“I have to go to the piano club to meet Ms. Emily, do you want to come with me?” Rika asked again.
"Okay," Ella said and ran with Rika to the parking lot. The car took them to the piano club.
“I made an appointment with Ms. Emily, she is a famous pianist and she is one of the guests at the party. During the party, you can dance if you want.” Rika said to Ella while in the car.
Ella feels lucky that she has taken dance lessons before.
"Are you looking forward to my brother's return?" Rika asked.
Ella didn't respond to her after that, Ella just secretly felt joy from the bottom of her heart when David was about to return from his business trip.
Half an hour later, they arrived at the piano club. The two girls entered one of the music rooms there. The music room is quite large and luxurious with a gray interior design.
Ms. Emily walks in and greets them. Rika tells Emily about inviting her to the party at Anthony's mansion next week. Of course, Emily happily agreed. While Rika talked to Emily, Ella placed her fingers on the black and white keys and pressed them down. A clear sound comes out. What a sweet melody!
Emily turned to ask Ella. “Do you also know how to play the piano?”
“When I was young, I studied but only a little. I play in my free time. I'm not as good as you." Ella said in a humble voice.
“Can you play a song for me?” Emily suggested.
“Yes, I want to hear it too. I never knew you could play the piano too.” Rika cheered.
Hard to refuse, Ella sat down on the black chair in front of the white piano and started playing it. She created a wonderful piece of music that surprised Emily.
Human emotions will be expressed through each sound. Emotions of love and anger will have the opportunity to burst. Under each hand gliding on each key of the artist will show it all. Ella's music is sad and painful, but that beautiful melody can touch frozen hearts.
“I have never heard this song, did you make it yourself?” Emily asked when Ella finished playing.
“More precisely, my mother taught me,” Ella said softly.
“Wow, your mom is such a talented person.” Emily expressed her joy by hugging her.
Before leaving the club, Rika reminds Emily again about the party. Emily promises that she will attend as a guest.
Walking out of the club gate, Ella tells Rika she is going to the cat shop to buy a cat she ordered over the phone a few days ago.
The two girls entered the store and Ella greeted the female receptionist at the front desk. “I came here to get a cat, a few days ago I ordered a cat here.”
"Please wait a moment." The clerk checked the books and then led Ella and Rika to the back of a room filled with cats of different breeds and colors. Ella's face was happy when she saw them. She loves cats but her father is allergic to cat hair so she cannot keep them.
The female employee brought a cage and gave it to Ella. Ella took the cage and looked around at the cats, and a gray cat with green eyes was quite cute.
Ella picked it up and stroked it. Rika also loves the cat that Ella just picked.
The female employee handed Ella a piece of paper, saying. “You sign it here, then you can take it home. Every six months, you bring him here so we can vaccinate him.
"OK." Ella signed paid and said thank you to the female employee. She held the cat while Rika carried the cage. Together they walked out of the store.
“Should we name it?” Rika suggested.
"Right. I'll name it Oliver."
They arrived at the villa at seven o'clock in the evening. As soon as she entered the house, Ella saw everyone gathered in the living room. They are discussing some matters for the upcoming party.
"Where have you been?" Mrs. Emma asked with a scowl.
“Mom, I went to the piano club, and…” Before Ella finished her sentence, she heard a scream from her father-in-law.
“What are you holding in your hand?” Mr. Roy put his hand over his mouth, he coughed a few times.
“You mean Oliver?” Ella held the cat towards Mr. Roy and prepared to step forward.
Mr. Roy held out his hand. “Do not come near.”
Ella was bewildered and did not understand anything, and then Mrs. Emma spoke up. “My husband has asthma and doesn't like cat hair. Why did you bring it here? The last time was to dye hair, this time it was to raise a cat. You're going to destroy this house, aren't you?"
Of course, Ella didn't want that to happen.
