Michael was too timid to even utter a word.
Of course a cat is kept to catch a mouse, isn’t it?
Indeed, the mouse that came out from the toilet bowl last time was a little too dirty. He had sent the exquisite Persian cat given by the Queen into the washroom and closed it in there with the mouse. Michael had expected Fiffy to unleash its power, but the cat was actually so terrified of the mouse that it wailed and curled up in the wash basin all night, not daring to come down. In the end, it was Nicholas who came to Fiffy’s rescue and got rid of the mouse.
As for him using the dog to wipe his feet… Michael thought he was innocent because whenever a furry pet passed by him, he would subconsciously rub his feet against their fur if he was barefoot. He wasn’t using them to wipe his feet but was just giving them a friendly rub.
He was so wronged!
Nevertheless, he did not expect Sophia to be so agitated, and he dared not to argue back despite his valid reasons. He said in a servile manner, “I admit I was wrong. I promise I’ll never use the cat as my mouse pad or send him to catch a mouse again. I’m sorry. And I’ll never ask Judge to fetch the goods anymore. Please stop crying, okay?”
Wiping off her tears, Sophia pointed at the ground and commanded fiercely, “You better stand still here for the next three minutes!”
Michael quickly cooed, “Okay, okay… I’ll stand still.”
Sophia turned around and walked away without hesitation. As she left, she took her Samoyed and the two Husky pups with her while Stanley brought Judge away too.
Meanwhile, Michael stayed where he was, not daring to move as he watched Sophia and the others walked away.
Looking at him resignedly, Sean sighed and left with the group as well.
Finally, Michael shot himself in the foot once again. Sophia had come merrily to give him a surprise, but alas, it turned out that he was the one who gave her a ‘surprise’ first.
Using sled dogs to fetch lunch boxes… What an ingenious man!
Three minutes later, Michael was allowed to move, so he anxiously ran forward to go after Sophia. Nevertheless, Danny caught up with him and said, “You shouldn’t go to her now as she is still in a fit of rage and won’t listen to your explanations. It’s late now, so she won’t leave the town either. Why don’t you have your meal first? We’ll sort it out after you eat.”
Looking in the direction where Sophia had gone, Michael was so worried that he lost his appetite. However, he still had to continue shooting, so he had to eat to replenish his energy for the activities later.
The filming crew’s food truck could only stop by the foot of the mountain as it couldn’t be driven up the mountain. The meals were prepared there and put in a thermal box to be pulled up the mountain by Judge. During that period of time, the staff had been depending on Judge to send them food. Now that he was leaving, everyone had to live with insufficient food again.
Though they could simply send some men to pick up the food, a lot of manpower was needed for the filming. It would be a waste of their limited resources to use their men as such.
On the other hand, Sophia and Stanley arrived at the hotel with their dogs. They found a pile of change and some one-dollar coins in Judge’s purse, all of which were his hard-earned money.
The scrawny dogs were so tired that they could even drowse off while standing. Bathing the dogs, Stanley cursed as he wailed, “You b*stard, Michael! My baby Judge…”
In fact, the three dogs just ran three rounds of errands today to fetch some potato chips and lunch, and the workload was not too heavy. Given Judge’s energy, he could have been full of beans even after fetching the goods, but he was drained because Celine had brought him around the mountain and to ski at the ski area. After running around all day, Judge was worn out and had no energy left to run errands.
After being brought back by Stanley, Judge dozed off while Stanley was bathing him.
Looking at his baby dogs who were extremely fatigued, Stanley shed tears of sympathy. Bathing Judge had always been a troublesome chore in the past but he had fallen asleep today in the shower.
He must have had a hard time!
It could be clearly seen that the dogs had lost weight tremendously especially after their bodies were drenched.
