I glanced at the woman next to Michael as she was picking which clothes to try out. She was tall, her skin was fair, and whenever she smiled, she looked as graceful as a princess. All in all, she was a very pretty woman.
“Let’s go, Anna,” Natalie exclaimed after she walked out of the changing room.
That idiot! Now Michael definitely knows that I’m here! I thought to myself as I trembled in fear.
Just as I expected, Michael arrived in front of me. However, his gaze contained many complex emotions that I couldn’t understand.
I didn’t know if I should greet him or, as he mentioned before, pretend not to know him if we ever see each other in public. It was quite awkward for both of us to stand there in silence.
“Michael, what do you think about this dress? Do you think it suits me?” The woman approached him with a dress she picked out from the rest.
Michael didn’t answer her and still stared at me.
The woman raised her eyebrow in suspicion. She examined me for a bit before she whispered to Michael, “Do you know this lady?”
I could tell she was looking at me antagonistically.
“No.” Michael took one last look at me before leaving.
I thought he would at least say that I’m one of his company’s employees. I wasn’t sure how to react to his answer.
“If you like it, you should try it out,” said Michael softly to the woman.
“Wait here then. I’ll be back in a moment.” The woman glanced at me, kissed Michael on his cheek, before going into the changing room.
Naturally, that whole scene made me want to cry.
“Why are you here?” Michael asked coldly after making sure the woman couldn’t hear us anymore.
“To look at the clothes, obviously.” I did my best to put up a calm demeanor.
He was staring at me intensely. I could tell that he was wondering if I was stalking him.
