After marrying my boss (Anna)

Chapter 23

Chapter 23

“Bye. I’m leaving.”

Not wanting to be alone with Michael any longer, I opened the door on the front passenger side and

stepped out. Michael frowned and watched me leave in silence. After I got down from the car, he sped novelbin

off, giving me a scare that had me rooted to the ground.

I pursed my lips in displeasure. This guy really lacked style, but it didn’t bother me as much as I thought

it would. After all, from today onwards, there would be nothing between us anymore. Even if we met

again in the future, we would be strangers to each other.

After walking a few steps. I called a cab to head to my good friend Natalie’s home. On the way. I

realized Michael’s coat was still draped over my shoulders. I wanted to return it, but I did not know how

to contact him.

Forget it. I give it back to him if I have the chance in the future. Anyway, the CEO of a company that’s

this big in size should not lack a coat.

When I retumed to Natalie’s, she had just arrived home. She took note of how my

clothes were a little messy, and she also realized I was wearing Michael’s coat. Immediately, she knew

something had happened and quickly questioned me.

“Anna, tell me what happened! Did you do what I think you did with him?”

Natalie‘s gaze fell upon the hickey on my neck, and an ambiguous look crossed her

Although she was my best friend, I was a relatively conservative person, so I could not help blushing

when she questioned me.

“Your imagination is running wild. I didn’t do such a thing

“Your neck is covered with hickeys. No one would believe you didn’t do it. Tell me quickly. Who was it?

Was it Michael Shaw?

The part of Natalie, which always wanted gossip, was awakened at that point. I knew she would not let

it rest if I did not tell her everything

I would be nagged relentlessly until i confessed

“It really was him. Anna, I was wondering if Michael was really interested in you. And today, you

both…”

Though Natalie did not complete her sentence, being adults, we knew she was referring to the exercise

Michael and I had performed in the car.

“Natalie, please do not distort the truth. I was drunk when I did it with Michael the previous time. This

time, I was simply thanking him for all he has done for me. I made it clear to him that from now on, we

will go our separate ways.”

Thinking that I did not owe Michael anything anymore, i felt relieved. From that moment on, I could

pretend that he did not exist in my life whenever I saw him.

“Anna, I think Michael is quite eligible. He is the most well-known young adult in the city, and he is a

wealthy män at such a young age. What’s more important is that he is so handsome, compared to

Justin. If you choose him over Justin, you’d be justified.”

Natalie’s love for gossip was surfacing again, and she gleefully imagined how advantagtous it would be

for me to be

with Michael without knowing that there was nothing much going on between us.

“That’s enough of worrying about me, Natalie. You should take care of yourself. Didn’t you tell me

you’ve found a boyfriend? We must find some time to meet so I can give you my opinion.”

Unwilling to talk too much about Michael, I changed the subject.

“That’s great. I’ve been busy with work lately. Once I’ve handled all the things at work, I’ll let you meet

him. He’ll be our host.”

Natalie was a loud and easygoing person, so she naturally agreed without hesitation.

I was looking forward to seeing what type of man her boyfriend was. What type of man could turn her

into a gentle little lady

on the phone

“Great, so we have agreed on this. I’m tired. I’m going to my room to rest.”

After the lengthy performance in Michael’s car, I felt tired, sore, and uncomfortable. All I wanted was to

bathe and wash away all of the man’s scent that still clung to my

body.

After bathing. I returned to my bedroom and slept like a log. Too much had happened; I was totally

exhausted. Sleep was all I wanted.

For many consecutive days, I remained in Natalie’s home. Her workload was heavy and I was jobless,

so lacted as a temporary housekeeper, cleaning and cooking

My dear friend was kind enough to put up with me, and since she was so busy, it was only right for me

to help around in the house

I was cleaning with a vacuum cleaner when my mobile phone rang suddenly. It was an unfamiliar

phone number, so I frowned suspiciously before I answered the call.

I thought it was a prank call, but it turned out to be a notice that my application for work was successful.

I had been accepted by Joyful Success Advertisements.

I had not received a call of acceptance for such a long time, prompting me to think that I had failed the

interview. I had

planned to wait for two days, and if there was no news, I would apply to another company, but I was

unexpectedly accepted.

After hanging up the phone, I was still excited and unable to calm down. Alone in the sitting room, I

screamed out in joy!

The person on the phone had instructed me to report for work the next day.

My mood was uplifted after that, and I was enthusiastic about everything I did. In the afternoon, I

cleaned Natalie’s house inside out. I also washed all the clothes that she had worn over the past few

days.

When Natalie returned home, she was

surprised to see her home neat and tidy. She looked at me in astonishment.

“Anna, have you won a lottery today? You seem to have found a sudden burst of motivation. You’ve

cleaned my whole house inside out.”

Natalie walked around the sitting hall and then stood facing me, her face full of disbelief

“Natalie, am I such a lazy person in your

eyes? You’ve provided food and lodging for me, so I’ve cleaned your house in return. I can’t just laze

around, can 1? That would be such a shame.”

I glared at her and spoke with feigned anger. However, the truth was she had never once complained

about me living and eating for free.

*Tell me what good news you havel Your face tells me you have much to say.”

Natalie was the one who understood me the most. Even though I had said nothing. she could tell I was

feeling happy.

“Natalie, I’ve been accepted by Joyful Success! I am to report for work tomorrow.”

After telling her about my new job, I still could not contain my excitement. I couldn’t believe I had really

been selected.

“Really? Anna, I knew you’d be accepted. You have so much natural talent in advertising, Joyful

Success has made the right choice.”
