After marrying my boss (Anna) novel Chapter 192

Ronan tilted his head up. His eyes shone with worry when he stared at me.

All I could think about at the time was Michael, so I paid no attention to what Ronan was saying. I simply kept my head down as my heart thumped wildly. Shoot! I can’t believe we bumped into each other here!

“Anna?”

Ronan called out to me again when he noticed that I wasn’t reacting at all. His handsome brows were frowning slightly, and his gaze carried a hint of worry.

“Huh? What?” I blurted in surprise while shifting my attention to him.

“Something seems off about you. What’s wrong?”

“I-I’m fine. I just need to go to the ladies’ room real quick.”

Ronan’s expression changed after he heard what I said, and confusion started glowing in his eyes.

I had tilted my head up and snuck a peek at Michael. Anxiety ran wild in me when I saw that he was staring at me, so I excused myself and quickly got out of my seat. After that, I rushed to the washroom.

Inside the washroom, I washed my hands and looked at my own reflection. I looked so nervous that it was ridiculous.

What are you worried about, Anna Garcia? He’s on a date with another woman, whereas you’re having an innocent meal with a friend. Why are you scared?

I glared at my reflection as regret donned my face. Michael is the one at fault; he agreed to go on a date with that woman. Why do I have to feel guilty?

I splashed some water on my face before I exited the washroom. Unfortunately, I was pushed to the wall as soon as I walked out of there. My back was hurt, and my first instinct was to cuss aloud, but I never had the chance to do so. When I saw that the perpetrator was Michael, my heart started thumping wildly, and I was nervous once more.

“W-What are you doing here?”

Isn’t he supposed to be on a date with that beautiful woman? Why is he here? Did he also come to use the washroom?

“I’m the one who should be questioning you. Anna Garcia, how dare you? I can’t believe you’re going behind my back and seeing another man. How freaking brave of you!”

Michael’s handsome face was so grouchy that he looked scary. His words and tone brimmed with fury as he spoke like he was interrogating me.

“What the hell are you talking about? We’re just friends. It’s not what you think!”

When I learned that Michael had misread the situation, I was angry and worried at the same time. I didn’t want him to see me like that.

Moreover, Ronan and I were really just friends. In fact, he was actually a few years older than me. So, I only saw him as a younger brother. Hell, did he think I am a cougar? I am not into younger men.

“You’re having dinner with him! How could I have misread the situation? Seriously, do you think you can fool me, Anna?”

Michael didn’t believe a word I said because his anger had clouded his judgment. My explanation was to no avail as he was already intent on the notion that Ronan and I were an item.

I wanted to explain myself again, but then I recalled how he was out on a date with a beautiful woman. I didn’t even complain about his date! Why should I reassure him when I’m only having a meal with a friend?

The thought fired me up. I glared at Michael and spoke in a distant tone when I pointed out, “You’re on a date with a beautiful woman, so what’s wrong with me being with a handsome dude? It’s not like there’s anything you can do about it.”

“Anna Garcia!”
