Chapter 566 Interaction At Work
As a woman, Leanne wanted to pester him further. However, my ruthlessness left her with no choice. Should she choose to stay, she would be kicked out by the security guards.
Leanne gave Michael a last glance before leaving reluctantly. Peace was restored as soon as she left the restaurant. Yet, I had completely lost my mood. Sitting across Michael, I was so excited to celebrate our anniversary earlier. Alas, it was ruined by Leanne.
Michael noticed my displeasure. He knitted his brows and interrupted the silence after a while, “Don’t take that to heart. Let’s carry on.”
“I don’t feel like eating anymore.”
I balked at his suggestion indifferently. “That was an accident. I promise that nothing like this will ever happen again in the future.”
Leanne’s unwanted presence came as a surprise to Michael too. He put in so much effort to prepare everything for our wedding anniversary. Having it all destroyed by one person, I was sure that he felt it more than me.
“Michael, though I know that you’re loyal to me alone, Leanne will be the plague of our relationship if she continues to cling to you. I’m selfish when it comes to my relationship with you. I just want to live a blissful life with you without having any third party rob us of our happiness.”
I furrowed my brows and raised my voice slightly.
Although I knew that it was not his fault, I could not help getting infuriated. His ex-girlfriend was trying to split us apart, and Michael was the only person who could resolve this conflict.
“Then, what do you want me to do? I’ve made myself crystal clear to her just now.” At the sight of my anger, Michael frowned slightly and seemingly grew irritated as well.
Relationship issues were never easy to settle amicably. Though it was very immoral of Leanne to do hurtful things to our relationship, she did not commit a crime. Besides blazing with fury, there was nothing the likes of us could do.
“I have no idea what to do to make her disappear into thin air. I just want us to resume our lives with imperturbable tranquility.”
Had I any thoughts on how to sort this mess out, we wouldn’t be so frustrated right now.
“I’ll come up with a solution. All right, cheer up, it’s our wedding anniversary. Don’t be crossed anymore, okay?” he comforted me in a loving manner and held my hand.
I knew it was not his fault at all. Leanne was the one to be blamed for throwing herself at him. Yet, I just could not treat it as though nothing had happened.
I heaved a long sigh, and then started digging in.
However, I was not able to enjoy the scrumptious meal.
Michael did not speak much as I looked glum and desolated. I hardly gave him any response.
He even booked a room at the hotel for us to enjoy a passionate night. Regrettably, I was not up for it. Nothing would perk me up that night, not even his alluring amorous advances.
With that, we ended our supposedly romantic anniversary.
In the following days, there was no sign of Leanne. Yet, I knew that she would not give up so easily.
She was like a time bomb in our relationship. We would end up in a disaster if she continued to provoke us.
Recently, I came across Nicholas’ name at work. Initially, I wanted to reject the case, but my professionalism disallowed me to do so. No matter what happened between us, I could never let anything personal affect my work.
One day, Nicholas came over to my company. My secretary led him to my office.
