After marrying my boss (Anna) novel Chapter 437

Chapter 437 Show No Weakness

I glanced at the message and committed the address to my memory. Then, I deleted it.

After changing my clothes, I left the apartment to go to the appointed restaurant. Once I arrived, a waiter immediately led me to Lincoln’s table.

Even after a year, Lincoln still looked the same. He was as healthy as I remembered. It seemed that he had lived a good life in the past year.

I sat down opposite him and greeted casually, “Mr. Shaw.”

Although I hated Lincoln then, I still had to keep up a pretense of civility. Otherwise, people would deem me immature.

Lincoln was shocked upon seeing me. He probably didn’t expect me to look so much better than I was a year ago.

“Anna, it’s been a year since we last met. I didn’t expect you to grow prettier and youthful,” Lincoln said with a smile. He sounded as if he was complimenting me.

I had heard countless compliments over the course of one year. As a result, Lincoln’s praise was nothing to me.

Nonetheless, I still responded with a polite smile, “You seem younger than a year ago. Have you been living well in this past year, Mr. Shaw?”

I turned the focus of the conversation to him.

Lincoln stopped making small talks. He looked at me seriously and asked, “Anna, when did you return here? Where have you been in the past year?”

“I went to Anglandur. I am now the director of Nifty Group.” There was no point in hiding this. I wanted Lincoln to know that I had gained position and authority. And that I was no longer the same person he used to bully.

Another look of surprise flashed across his eyes. He gazed at me with a shocked and odd expression.

“You are now a director of an overseas company? That is unexpected,” he said.

I smirked and said coldly, “It’s not as surprising as you think. After going through such a big upheaval in life, it’s only natural that a person would develop tremendous resilience. I should thank you, Mr. Shaw, for hurting me so much that I could achieve what I have today.”

Lincoln knew what I meant. His expression stiffened, and the atmosphere turned awkward.

“Anna, I know what happened a year ago hurt you severely. But, it was Michael’s decision. Furthermore, I also felt that you and Michael were unsuitable for each other. After all, his mother is still unconscious in the hospital because of you,” Lincoln said.

When Lincoln brought up Josephine’s condition, I could see the anger in his eyes and sensed his hatred for me.

I believed what happened a year ago had something to do with Josephine. Otherwise, no misunderstanding could have made Michael act with such cruelty toward me.

“Mr. Shaw, I understand you are still angry over this matter and can’t let it go. Do you hate me?” I asked.
