After marrying my boss (Anna) novel Chapter 215

“Casual acquaintances? I’ve never seen that guy getting serious with any woman before,” Michael snorted and would not even listen.

“You can take it however you like, but we should get back before your cousin gets suspicious of us.”

There was little else I could say to convince him of my innocence, but I was not in the opinion that I am in need of vindication.

Michael was brooding and looked as though he had something else to say, but I had already stepped around him and made my exit.

He had always been distrustful of me and never once did accept my explanations. How could I have a relationship with any other man when he was the only one who consumed my entire being?

He never understood my feelings and probably did not care even if he did.

We returned to the private room where Ronan was fiddling with his phone, one after the other. Seeing how we came back in at almost the same time had him appearing a little quizzical before he broke into a smile once more.

“What took you both so long? Don’t tell me that you’ve taken a fancy to Anna?” The cynical Ronan teased.

“Would you give her up if I did?” Michael asked, seemingly in earnest.

Ronan’s eyes widened, and his expression stiffened in some incredulity. Even I trembled inside as neither of us anticipated that particular response.

“Just kidding. As you may know, we don’t share the same taste,” the atmosphere turned awkward before Michael diffused it with a chuckle.

“You nearly had me there for a moment, but honestly, I wouldn’t fight with you over her if it were true, though.”

Ronan relaxed and recovered the smile on his face when he realized that Michael was only pulling his leg.

“Really? I think you’d be quite reluctant should that really happen one day.”

The grin faded from Michael’s lips as he regarded Ronan meaningfully.

What Michael told Ronan had me on an edge. They were relatives, and with my current relationship with Michael, I am a little at a loss for how to deal with both of them.

“Alright, enough on this subject. We should tuck in before the food turns cold.”

There was a subtle shift in Ronan’s expression as he let out a slight smile and tried to change the subject.

Still sitting across from Michael who was dining elegantly, I had conversely no appetite whatsoever.

Though unsure as to how I should navigate my relationship with the two men, I was certain that I did not want to be caught between them.

The meal ended amidst a suffocating ambiance for me. Ronan offered to drive me home afterward and bundled me into his car without giving me an opportunity to turn him down.

Meanwhile, Michael glanced over once and made no comment before he drove off on his own.

“Could you not do that next time, Ronan? I’ve already made it clear the last time that we’re only going to be friends, and nothing more. So why did you have to say those things in front of Michael?”

Ronan seemed to be in a fine mood as he drove along, but I was pissed as hell.
