After marrying my boss (Anna) novel Chapter 284

Michael continued to gaze at me nonchalantly in silence. There were not any hints of emotion in his eyes. I could not resist wondering if he believed in my words. Subsequently, I felt a prickle of anxiousness as another wave of uncertainty swept over me. I held my breath as I lowered my head and gripped the side of my blouse.

My heart was pounding hard; my mind turned into mush. What if he came back to break up with me? As Michael continued to gaze at me without uttering any words, my lips tightened into a thin line.

“Anna Garcia, I wonder when you will start to think wisely with your brain!” Michael finally spoke after a long while. I scratched my head in perplex, unable to understand what he actually meant.

Thinking wisely with my brain? I looked into his eyes, mustering up my courage to ask him, “What do you mean?” Michael walked into the living room and sat on the couch.

Tossing me a frigid glance, he scoffed, “Don’t you know that someone deliberately took the photo? Do you think there is an ideal spot for such a high-definition photo to be taken?” My heart skipped a beat as something came into my mind.

“Do… you mean to say that Justin did that on purpose?” As the question escaped my lips, a surge of panic crept into my heart. It was an indecipherable feeling when I found out that someone had set me up. “Remember to use your brain next time!” I was astounded by his words.

What is playing on Justin’s mind? We have not been contacting each other for more than half a year. Why did he assign people to snap this photo? Is he trying to blackmail me? No, it can’t be. He doesn’t have the audacity to do so. Not to mention he is Michael’s employee.

What is the point of shooting himself in the foot by blackmailing his boss? I scratched my head quizzically again, wondering why Justin had done so. “Anyway, I will investigate this matter thoroughly. You’d better mark my words, Anna. You are my woman now.

You are not allowed to spare other men any glance, especially your ex-boyfriend!” Michael sat upright and glared at me with his blazing eyes. He was even gritting his teeth when he said those last few words. He seemed to be green with envy at the thought that I might cross paths with Justin again at any time.

Even so, I heaved a sigh of relief as he did not mention breaking up with me. I felt thankful that the worst did not occur as expected, despite the utter grimness on his face. Feeling delighted, I approached him and sat down next to him.

Holding onto his arm, I finally felt a sense of security and cooled off. “I will never fall for another man. You are the love of my life,” I mumbled affectionately to him. Michael was the only man in my eyes at that moment. I was certain that I would not be drawn to any other man again.

I yearned to spend the rest of my life with him. My words seemed to have appeased him. There was finally a slight change in his countenance as he softened up. Since then, two days went past as usual. Michael was so occupied with both his work matters and the investigation on Justin that he could not allocate time to accompany me.
