After marrying my boss (Anna) novel Chapter 131

“Anna Garcia, do you have to speak to me in such a sarcastic way?” I could sense that he was stifling his fury at the moment as he hissed at me.

“Mr. Shaw, it’s after office hour now. If there’s nothing urgent, I hope you don’t call me again and disrupt my private time. Thanks for your understanding!” Oblivious to Michael’s anger, I answered coldly.

I was reluctant to have anything to do with him. When snippets of how he put me in hot water in the office flashed across my mind, I was boiling with anger again.

“I know about your family matters,” Michael uttered slowly when I was about to hang up.

I stiffened momentarily before I lashed out at him, “Michael Shaw, are you investigating on me? I have nothing to do with you now. Why are you still doing that to me?”

I was enraged, thinking of how he tried to meddle with my family matters. We have nothing to do with each other anymore. Why is he still investigating my family conditions? What is he intending to do now?

“Huh! Investigate your family situations? Do you think that I’m so free and have nothing to do? Anna Garcia, don’t you think that you are thinking too highly of yourself?” he snorted.

“If you didn’t do that, how would you know about my family matters? Michael Shaw, please bear in mind that there is nothing between both of us now. Can you please set me free and stop interfering with my life?” I refuted.

Michael’s words did not make any sense to me. I was convinced that his findings were obtained via the investigations. It was as if my privacy was unveiled and exposed to others, causing me utter discomfort. To me, it was a privacy invasion when Michael mentioned my family matters.

“Anna Garcia, don’t jump to conclusions without any evidence. It’s your mother! She gave my secretary a call and requested to speak to me just now!”

I was dumbfounded and at a loss for words instantaneously. It was out of my expectation that my mom would make the move to call him!

My goodness! She seems to have no sense of shame and is willing to do anything for Steven! She doesn’t even know Michael in person. Just because Michael has given us one hundred thousand to settle our financial crisis before, she shamelessly called him to ask for money again!

Right that instant, I had lost the courage to hold my head up. I had owed him a lot all this while. Now that my Mom asked for his help so daringly, I felt totally humiliated.

“I’m sorry for misunderstanding you. I have to apologize to you on behalf of my mom. Sorry for causing you trouble. Don’t take her words seriously,” I apologized sincerely to him, suppressing my displeasure toward my mom.

Feeling awkward to face Michael, I intended to hang up right away. It seemed he could sense that I was about to do so. He said in a commanding tone, “Anna Garcia, don’t hang up first. Listen to me, I’m the only person who can help you now.”
