After marrying my boss (Anna) novel Chapter 486

Chapter 486 Torture

Michael sounded so arrogant that Nicholas frowned and became more aloof. “Mr. Shaw, you are now acting with such unyielding tenacity like the forces of nature, which is more suited to doing business in the corporate arena.”

Nicholas looked at Michael with a dark expression as he spoke those words. “Doing business in the corporate world requires one’s own competence and ability. If anyone tries to achieve something by using a woman, it only shows incompetence.”

Although Michael did not say it directly, he was implying that Nicholas wanted to see me in order to get some information that would give him some advantage.

Unsure if that was the case, I turned toward Nicholas. From the expression in his eyes which he could not hold back, I realized that Michael was right. Initially, I had felt guilty when Nicholas told me he only wished to talk like old friends. Now that Michael had exposed his intentions of trying to use me to get information, immediately what little fondness I had for him was gone.

“Let’s go, Michael. I’m tired and I need to rest.”

After knowing what Nicholas’ intentions were, I did not want to waste any more time. Holding Michael’s arm, I just wanted to leave.

That was just the way I was. I hated to be used. I never thought Nicholas would use me but I had overestimated myself.

“Yeah, go home and sleep well.”

Upon hearing my words, Michael turned around and looked at me with a tender and adoring gaze.

Michael’s love for me had always been unconditional. Perhaps we had come together motivated by the same objectives which were mutually beneficial. However, I discovered later that he treated me well without expecting anything in return.

Perhaps, Nicholas really liked me but his fondness was not as deep as Michael’s. His kindness to me was associated with getting something in return which was the reason why I did not want any entanglement with him.

Without glancing at Nicholas again, I left with Michael holding me by the waist.

Once home, I checked on Amaury. Seeing that he was already asleep, I went to the bathroom to shower.

Even though it was just a birthday party, I felt really exhausted. After coming out of the bathroom, I got into bed straightaway just wanting to lie still.

Michael stood up and looked down at me. Then, without a word, he went into the bathroom.

Perhaps I was too tired, I drifted off to sleep quickly. I did not know when Michael came out of the bathroom but I was awakened by his caresses. His huge hand was exploring my back amorously.
