A Second Chance with the CEO After Divorce

Marc glanced upwards at Kristopher and called out, “Mr. Cox, have you forgotten? The day you brought Fluffy home, you mentioned he was a bit grubby and needed a bath at the pet hospital, but by then, it was too late, and all the pet hospitals had closed.

As he spoke, Marc scratched his head awkwardly. “I managed to take him yesterday afternoon when I wasn’t too busy. But right after I dropped him off, I got tied up with some urgent business at work and completely forgot to pick him up. That’s why he ended up staying overnight at the pet hospital.”
