Love from My Dominant Boss novel Chapter 177

Without saying another word, I hung up the call in a panic.

As I clutched my phone tightly, the tears in my eyes finally trickled down my cheeks. In the past two days, I had even considered confessing my feelings to Michael so that we could be together.

But these were merely wishful thinking because I knew that he would never be with me due to the vast difference in our statuses.

I sat on the toilet bowl and cried for a long time before coming out. After splashing water onto my face, I stared at myself in the mirror. There was anger in my red-rimmed eyes. I was mad at myself for being so pathetic.

He was unworthy of my love, but I couldn’t control my feelings. I thought I’d never fall in love again after Justin’s betrayal. However, the fact that Michael was with another woman upset me. The feelings were more intense than when I caught Justin and Mabel in bed.

I’ve fallen in love with you, Michael. What should I do?

As I was constantly distracted, I failed to complete the tasks assigned to me by our supervisor, Harry. As a result, I was reprimanded for two days straight.

Since joining Joyful Success a few months ago, I submitted quality work every single time. But these two days, I was always absent-minded at work, so much so that Harry was slightly disappointed in me.

I was called into his office again that day.

In his office, I spoke first. “Mr. Doyle, you wanted to see me?”

Harry looked at me intently, but the next second, he threw a document file in front of my feet and barked angrily, “Is this how you do your work, Anna? I put you in charge of writing the quarterly report, but look at what you wrote. It’s full of mistakes!”

I bowed my head in response to his admonishment, then repeatedly apologized, “I’m sorry, Mr. Doyle. I’ll redo it immediately.”

Bending down, I picked up the file and turned to leave.

However, Harry wasn’t going to let me leave just yet. “Hold up!” he called out and walked toward me, looking disappointed.

“What’s going on with you these two days, Anna? You’ve been making mistakes at work. You’re an experienced employee, but the work you’ve submitted was not even up to the standard of an intern. The company hired you here to work, not to space out during working hours.”

I lowered my head guiltily at his words. I was also aware of how neglectful I had been for the past few days, leading to the sloppy work. However, I had no control over my mind whatsoever.

I knew that I couldn’t let my personal life affect my work. Yet, I couldn’t control my heart. Thus, I was caught in a bind.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Doyle. I’ll make sure this won’t happen again.”

Although Harry didn’t say anything too harsh, I could clearly sense that his patience had run out. If I continued making mistakes like that, I could very well be fired.

Harry furrowed his brows in frustration. “Forget it. Get back to work, and remember not to let your emotions affect you when you’re here.”

With that, he dismissed me with a wave of his hand.

“Thank you, Mr. Doyle.”

I breathed a sigh of relief as I walked out of his office. I have to get my act together and stop making mistakes.

After leaving the supervisor’s office, I returned to my own desk. Millie immediately leaned over with a look of concern on her face. “Anna, are you okay? I heard Mr. Doyle scolding you just now.”

Millie was the only one in the office I could get along with. Even though we started off as colleagues, we already considered each other friends.

“It was nothing. Just some mistakes regarding work on my part.”
