A man with fluffy black ears atop his head and a swinging, long, black, furry tail burst into the villa with a cold and stern expression.
Holly Wyatt didn't know what was happening; though deaf and mute, she somehow heard the man's disdainful voice at that very moment.
[The cub has grown a little.]
[Still too weak.]
[How did she end up looking like this? So gaunt and scrawny, so unsightly. Standing there, she looks like a telephone pole—the shortest one, at that.]
Holly Wyatt: ...
She rubbed her fingertips together, staring at the tip of the man's tail that curled into a little heart shape, wanting to touch it...
*
Two years later.
Dressed in a camisole and hot pants, the moment she pulled open the main door, she heard the man's sharp, explosive inner shriek.
[Aaaah! Damn it! Who taught the cub to dress like this?! I was only gone for two years, where is my cub who used to be all bundled up?!]
[Give her back!!]
*
As the leader of the Wolf Clan, Silas Thornton's primary mission was to manage the pack, and his secondary mission was to raise the cub well.
One day, he discovered that the cub he was raising actually wanted to date! This meant the cub wanted to procreate!
That was unacceptable!
And so, Holly Wyatt could always hear the man's inner ramblings.
[The cub is still too young; she can't run off and procreate with some random man out there.]
[If the cub is really that desperate to procreate, I suppose I can reluctantly make a sacrifice.]
[Why doesn't the cub want to procreate yet? I'm already prepared.]
Holly Wyatt: !!?? Does this mean she can finally touch his big tail?

Quinn Zeller paused for a moment. "According to the business department, she's here to discuss the Thornton Corporation spokesperson partnership."


"Wasn't it supposed to be that... what's-her-name..." Silas Thornton trailed off, thinking.


Quinn Zeller helpfully filled in the blank. "The original choice was Diana Churchill, the female lead from the recent hit *Moon Order*."


"Right." Silas nodded slightly. "Then why is Lynn Fletcher here?"


'So Lynn wasn't the original choice for the spokesperson role.'


"The business department was being evasive. I was liaising with Diana Churchill's team just yesterday, but today Lynn Fletcher shows up." Quinn's tone was grave. "Diana must have been replaced. I just found out myself. The business department even has a contract ready for Lynn to sign."


"Hah." A sarcastic smile touched Silas's lips. "Lynn Fletcher wants the spokesperson position that badly?"
