After marrying my boss (Anna) novel Chapter 564

Chapter 564 Utterly Shameless

Michael frowned in displeasure, and the look in his eyes as he stared at Leanne carried a trace of impatience. “I couldn’t get through to you recently, let alone see you, so I could only come here to look for you.”

Gazing at Michael, Leanne sounded all pitiful. Hmm, her remark of failing to get through to him is probably hinting at me blocking her number. Could it be that she wants Michael to be mad at me that she deliberately mentioned it before him? If that’s the case, she’s really a scheming woman!

“Why are you looking for me? If there’s nothing important, don’t bother us. It’s my wedding anniversary today.” In the face of her pitiful act, Michael glanced at her expressionlessly and dismissed her coldly.

Leanne probably didn’t expect his attitude to be so detached, for her face fell. She looked at him forlornly, appearing as though she was hesitant to speak.

“’Ms. Ryheim, don’t you think it’s exceedingly rude to disrupt someone on such an important day as his wedding anniversary?”

I couldn’t quite stand her pathetic act in front of Michael, and my gaze pinned on her was chilly.

The atmosphere between me and Michael tonight was all romantic earlier, but everything is ruined now because of her appearance! She’s really annoying, much like a poltergeist that just wouldn’t leave us in peace!

My voice dripped with iciness, and every single word was a jibe at her. When my words rang out, she turned her gaze to me, a glint of hatred flashing across her eyes. But with Michael there, she didn’t threaten me as she did previously.

“I’m sorry, but if I hadn’t come today, I might not be able to see him. I had no choice either.”

Her voice was subdued as though my question hurt her.

I had a bad impression of her in the first place, so the fury within me blazed even hotter following her reply.

“I’d like to have a chat with you, Michael. I have something to tell you.”

I actually wanted to say something further, but Leanne spoke to Michael before I could utter a single word, not giving me an opportunity to speak. Argh! She’s doing this on purpose!

“I don’t think there’s anything to say between the two of us. If there’s nothing else, Leanne, don’t intrude on my wedding anniversary celebration here.”

Michael’s face remained devoid of expression, and he didn’t react in the slightest despite Leanne’s words.

It was all too clear that he was turning her down, and that had me feeling much better.

I didn’t care about Leanne’s motive but Michael’s attitude. Considering his actions then, I knew that he no longer had any feelings for her. At once, gratification flooded me.

“Michael… why are you so indifferent toward me now? I merely want to say a few words to you in private. Is that not permissible? When did the two of us become strangers?”

Having been rejected by Michael, Leanne gazed at him sorrowfully even as the hurt in her eyes shone all the more brightly.

“We are strangers now, aren’t we?” Michael countered evenly, looking at her coolly without a hint of anguish in his eyes.

“Can you please not treat me in such a manner, Michael? Don’t be so aloof with me. We were once the closest person to each other. I don’t believe that I no longer have a place in your heart. You must still be angry because I left you back then, right?”
