After marrying my boss (Anna) novel Chapter 217

“Hold it right there, Michael! Who’re you calling a vampire?”

I couldn’t believe he was disgusted by the fact that I did not know how to plant a hickey.

Today, Michael offered me a ride to the company. I did not refuse because that meant I did not have to take the subway and could save a few pennies.

I then got into Michael’s car. Glancing sideways, I spotted the hickey I had planted on his neck. I felt a sense of accomplishment as well as the satisfaction of revenge.

The CEO of the company had a hickey on his neck, one that was more obvious than mine. I wondered if Michael would be worried that other people could see it.

“Are you done yet? I don’t mind if you want to plant a few more.” Michael spoke.

He eyed me when he noticed that my gaze was still fixated on his neck.

“No. I think one is obvious enough. Not everything is a number’s game.”

I was looking forward to seeing how he would react once he stepped into the office. Would he be overcome with embarrassment? After all, I planted that thing in plain sight.

However, Michael merely peered at me. Keeping his eyes on the road, he said nothing.

Soon, we reached the office. Right then, the coast was clear in the underground parking, so I quickly got out of Michael’s car.

The two of us basically arrived at the office one after the other. Michael was the Prince Charming in the eyes of most of the women working there, so naturally, his presence attracted the most attention. My gaze followed him as well.

With a blank expression on his face, he walked towards his office. Right at that moment, everyone gasped when they spotted the hickey on his neck—some widened their eyes in shock, while others expressed disbelief.

After all, this had never happened before.

Everyone returned to their senses only after Michael entered his office. And right after that, chaos ensued.

“Did you see that? There’s a hickey on Mr. Shaw’s neck!”

“I saw it! I saw it! It’s so obvious!”

“Has Mr. Shaw spent the night with a woman? If so, it must have been quite exciting!”

“Oh my gosh, how did it end up this way? I thought Mr. Shaw’s not interested in relationships. I’m so heartbroken.”

“Who do you think Mr. Shaw’s spent the night with? If I ever find out who she is, I’ll never forgive her.”

“You said it! How dare she steal Mr. Shaw from us, and right under our noses too! She’s got a death wish!”

Everyone present had started gossiping about, many of whom seemed disappointed.

Although I knew Michael could not possibly be inexperienced with women, he was just too good at keeping secrets. Even if he had dated or slept with anyone, there was no chance we would find out about it.

I just never expected that me leaving a hickey on his neck would cause such an uproar.

Besides, what those women said somehow made me anxious. If they find out that I’m the one who planted the hickey on Michael’s neck, will they come after me?

I was starting to regret what I did and began to worry about myself. I worried that they would come to trouble me the way they did before.

“Anna, did you see that? Mr. Shaw’s got a hickey on his neck.”
