After marrying my boss (Anna) novel Chapter 213

Wave after wave of pleasure crashed into me in yet another wild night of passion.

Michael fully satisfied himself before he rolled off and pulled me tightly into his embrace.

Although he was the one doing all the hard work, the way he constantly adjusted my position to cater to him had already left me sufficiently worn out. So I closed my eyes, and I let him keep me there.

It occurred to me then that this time, I forgot about the pills.

Perhaps Michael’s threats had taken effect, the next few days saw no further movement from Emma and passed without incident. Without her getting on my case, I felt a little more at ease.

After Ronan’s confession the last time, I was a little reluctant to pick up when he called today. But since I had agreed for us to continue as friends, I sucked it up and answered.

“Finally, Anna. I thought you were really going to ignore me,” Ronan said, his voice from the other end full of hurt.

“Why would I when I’ve promised not to avoid you the last time? I was just a little tied up a moment ago.” I let out an awkward laugh as I cooked up something on the fly. “Is there something you need from me? ‘Cause I’m at work right now.”

I was worried that Ronan might ask me out for a meal or the likes, so I used work as a deterrent before he could suggest anything else.

“Why am I calling? Cause I missed you, of course. And tonight, I’d like to introduce you to someone,” he said, still wanting to meet up as though he had not gotten the hint.

“But I’m afraid I won’t have the time to. Lots of work to catch up with. How about next time?”

As it was only quite recently that he confessed his feelings for me, I did not feel comfortable seeing him again so soon, and considering his personality, he might also start saying something inappropriate.

“Are you turning me down here, Anna? Making excuses even when you said that you won’t? I’m really upset, Anna.”

Ronan may like to goof around, but he had a mind like a steel trap.

“Alright, alright. Let’s meet in the afternoon then.”

Knowing that I would not be able to wriggle out of this, I eventually gave in and that made Ronan audibly pleased. I then took care to remind him not to run his mouth before I hung up.

He was actually a pretty nice guy, but I could not have him taking a liking to me as we could never be together.

After work, he texted me the address to a restaurant, which took a long ride on the subway to reach.

I was positively astounded when I arrived at the place he mentioned; as compared to the Jetroinian restaurant we last visited together, this one could very well be a five-star establishment.

That profligate fella must have had too much cash to spare, choosing to dine at a posh place like this.

Coming up to the door of the private room marked 1101, I pushed my way through. Being in such a high-end restaurant for the first time really made me nervous, as this was a place better suited for the affluent than peasants like me.

I had barely even taken a step when Ronan popped out to pull me inside.

“At long last, Anna. Come, let me introduce you to my cousin, the famous business whiz kid, Michael Shaw.”
