After marrying my boss (Anna) novel Chapter 204

I didn’t see Michael after I came back, so I searched around for him, but he was nowhere to be found. Guess he wasn’t back yet then. He was probably occupied by his work since it was getting quite late. That man really was a workaholic. I swear, he wouldn’t even get up before finishing his mountain of work.

I went to make a simple dinner and laid it out on the table. It had been a while since I lived with him, and I noticed he liked a simple dinner more. It was weird, though, since he probably had caviar for breakfast before we started dating, so I wondered why he liked my homemade food. At that point, I just guessed he wasn’t really a picky eater.

I waited for him to come back so we could dig in, but much to my chagrin, he still wasn’t back yet. Hey, you should’ve at least given me a call. What am I supposed to do now?

The fact that he wouldn’t call me got on my nerves. Even though I knew he didn’t need to tell me anything, the radio silence was still annoying.

At that, I cursed him silently and decided to stop waiting for him. If he isn’t calling me, there’s no need to wait then.

I was about to dig in when my phone rang. Michael? Huh, at least he’s not a heartless b*stard. The fact he called me made me feel a little better, so I took the call.

“Hey, what’s taking you so long?” I snapped at him, disgruntled.

“Hello, Ms. Garcia,” a woman answered me.

Wait, Emma? That was the first thought I had. Where’d that guy go?

I knew something was up when she was the one answering me. Since she was taking the calls, that meant Michael was with her. That fact angered me, but it also made me jealous. Michael spent most of his time with me, but he only made his relationship with Emma public.

“Why are you answering for him? Do you need anything?” I had to ask despite knowing that they were together. One could say that I did not know when to give up.

“Michael’s taking a shower, so he won’t be going back tonight. He’s staying at my place. Don’t wait up on him,” Emma answered smugly, while my heart shattered into a million pieces.

I gripped the phone tightly, and I teared up. Even though I knew Michael was staying with Emma, hearing it from her was still soul-crushing nonetheless. “Noted with thanks. If there’s nothing else, then I’ll be hanging up. Bye.” I was starting to suffocate, and I had to hang up fast. Otherwise, I might lose it if I start thinking about how he would stay the night at her place.

“I told you he’s mine, Anna, so give up. Stop hurting yourself,” Anna told me coldly before I could end the call.

I knew she was threatening me, but I snapped back, “You’re not the boss of me, Emma.” Then I hung up before she could say another word.
