After marrying my boss (Anna) novel Chapter 49

“I don’t think you’re that kind of person, Anna. That’s why I didn’t spread those rumors like the others did. But some of them said they saw you entering his office and hugging him…” Uncertainty flickered in Millie’s eyes as she spoke timidly.

Even though she was doubtful, the fact that she didn’t immediately believe those rumors about me was enough. At least there was one person who was on my side.

“I didn’t try to seduce him. Mr. Skeete was the one who wanted to take advantage of me. I slapped him out of instinct. That’s why he wants revenge and keeps making things difficult for me here.”

When I thought about how Conrad kept making my life difficult these days, unprecedented rage burned in me. Since we already had a falling-out, I decided to tell everyone what a hypocrite he was.

“So that’s what happened. Mr. Skeete definitely went over the line! How could he take advantage of a female employee? I really don’t understand how someone like him managed to become a supervisor!”

After listening to my explanation, Millie believed me and even felt aggrieved on my behalf.

“Millie, remember to just keep this to yourself. If others catch wind of this, you might also get on Conrad’s bad side.”

Although I wanted to clarify this matter once and for all, I didn’t want Millie to be the one to do it. After all, she was the only colleague I got along with in the office. The last thing I wanted was to drag her down with me.

“Anna!”

Just when Millie was going to tell me something, Conrad’s unpleasant voice interrupted us. I was already disgusted by him, so hearing his voice made me even more nauseated.

I stood up and looked at Conrad, who was approaching me, with an indifferent gaze. His beady eyes were filled with rage.

I waited until he stopped in front of me before asking in a monotonous voice, “Can I help you, Mr. Skeete?”

Upon seeing Conrad walk up to me, the other employees returned to their seats and cast furtive glances at me, clearly waiting for a good show.

“Who allowed you to sit here? Didn’t I already tell you that you’re fired?”

Conrad planted his hands on his hips and scowled at me.

Having already expected this, I pinned Conrad with an icy gaze and retorted, “Oh? But I don’t recall you telling me that, Mr. Skeete.”

If it were in the past, I might have had some scruples, but now that Conrad and I were on bad terms, I had nothing to fear. Since there was no way out of this mess, I was going to clear my name and tell everyone what a degenerate Conrad was before I left the company.

“So you’re denying it? Allow me to jog your memory, then. When you called me to apply for leave yesterday, I already told you that you’re fired. How dare you still come here?”

I had successfully provoked Conrad by feigning cluelessness because he spoke loud enough for everyone in the department to hear.

“Mr. Skeete, are you admitting that I called you yesterday to apply for leave? Then why did you tell everyone that I skipped work for no reason? Don’t you think you’re shooting yourself in the foot now?”

I sneered at Conrad. Although I no longer harbored any hope of staying in the company, I was sure as hell going to prove my innocence before leaving.
