After marrying my boss (Anna) novel Chapter 108

In her eyes, Yuval was the perfect man for me. I knew that Natalie wanted me to find happiness as soon as possible and that she was considering him for me, but I felt there was something missing between me and Yuval.

“Okay, I know what you mean. I am more anxious than you are to find a husband. I mean, can you blame me, though. At this rate, I’m going to be an old spinster in no time.”

Helplessly, I heaved a sigh, not wanting to carry with the topic. I knew too that my age was catching up and if I did not get married soon, I would end up as an old spinster.

Hearing my view, Natalie stopped talking and lowered her head to have her meal. At this moment, Yuval came over.

“Anna, I’m sorry. I’ve got a little issue with the case I’m handling now, and I have to discuss it with the people involved. I may need to leave now.”

Yuval came up to me looking apologetic.

“Don’t worry about it. I know how important your job is. Go ahead.”

Strangely, when I heard that he had to leave, I felt relieved.

“Great. In that case, I’ll take my leave now.” Yuval gave me an apologetic smile. “By the way, I’ve already settled your bill. You can both leave right after you finish eating.”

When I was chatting with Natalie just now, Yuval had already foot the bill. It made me feel as if I owed him something, because earlier on, I had promised that I would treat him tonight.

“Didn’t I say that I’m giving a treat tonight? How much did you pay just now? Let me return the money to you.”

From the first time we started dating, Yuval had always been footing the bills. Today we had agreed that I would pay, but he had settled the bill on his own. Thus, I felt bad after knowing that.

I took out my purse intending to return the money to him. After all, Yuval had spent too much money too often, and I should not keep on taking advantage of him.

“Anna, there’s no need to be so courteous with each other. If we really end up together as a married couple, everything I have is yours, let alone a few hundred for meals.

What Yuval continued to say would please any other woman, but at this moment, all that I could feel was pressure, and I was at a loss for words to reply him.

“But we haven’t reached that stage yet. Every time we eat together, you’re always the one who pays.”

I still wanted to return the money to Yuval, even though I was frugal when spending and tried to save whenever possible. However, I was determined not to take advantage of others as it had always been a principle that I firmly believed in.

“Let’s just let it be for this time. When it’s your treat the next time, I won’t argue with you when paying the bill. Will that do?”

Though Yuval looked very gentle in appearance and seemed friendly, his personality was quite stubborn. After he had made a decision, no one could easily change it.

“Alright, then. Let’s agree with this. Since you’ve some business to attend to, you should go ahead now.”
