Zhang Zian might say that the staff were fools, but they weren't that stupid after all. For example, after Wang Qian opened the door and entered the store, he snorted and said, "It's strange. Let's say that Master is traveling or, for some other reason, is not in the store for a few days. He always brings his pets with him or give them to a friend to look after them. How come when he goes on a date, he still brings them with him?"
He'd noticed that Zhang Zian was absent, but so were the pets. Fina and Snowy Lionet, who were usually on the cat tree, Galaxy, who always ran around the store, Old Time Tea, who watched TV and drank tea, Famous, who always lay beside the lounge chairs, Richard, whose sexual orientation was different from the average bird, and the Russian blue cat, Vladimir, who often ran out, were all absent as well.
