Love from My Dominant Boss novel Chapter 25

After hanging up the phone, John looked much more relieved, but the smile on his lips froze as soon as he saw me.

“Ms. Garcia, what are you doing here?”

He seemed slightly uncomfortable, and he also kept avoiding my gaze. His behavior only served to confirm that he was hiding something.

“I heard everything you said on the phone earlier.”

I cut straight to the chase. Right then, I had a very low opinion of this man; I was convinced he was bad news.

Upon hearing what I said, John’s expression changed as guilt shone in his eyes.

“M-Ms. Garcia, I-”

The man turned flustered as he tried to explain, but I interrupted him before he could get another word out.

“Mr. Young, let’s talk over there. I’m sure you wouldn’t want anyone overhearing our conversation,” I suggested while pointing to the end of the corridor near a window.

John’s face stiffened, but due to his guilt, he obediently followed me toward the window.

“You were on the phone with another woman just now. There’s something going on between the two of you, isn’t there?”

I pinned him with a cold stare that matched my tone. Anger rose in me at the thought of him cheating on Natalie.

Natalie was my best friend, and I wasn’t going to let anyone hurt her.

“Y-Yes…” Knowing that I had already heard everything, John was smart enough not to deny anything.

“Ms. Garcia, please don’t tell Nat about that phone call.”

John looked at me with pleading eyes.

“Tell me the truth. Do you like that woman you were on the call with or Natalie? If you don’t have feelings for Natalie, I suggest you stop messing around with her!”

I felt absolutely repulsed when I faced a scumbag who reminded me of Justin. Hence, I didn’t bother being civil with him. Neither did I care if I strained our acquaintanceship. All I cared about was making sure Natalie wouldn’t be betrayed.

“Of course, Natalie is the one I love. The person on the phone was just a young girl who’s been bothering me. That’s why I had no choice but to persuade her to leave me alone. I’m telling you the truth. Natalie is the only one for me!”

At my question, John immediately swore to me that my friend was the one he loved.

If it were me, I wouldn’t want to be with a two-timer like John, but I could see that Natalie really liked him. She would be devastated if she knew about this.

“I can promise not to tell Natalie about this, provided you promise me one thing in return.”

After deliberating for a long time, I decided to give John a chance. After all, he wasn’t as bad as Justin, who cheated on his fiancée with her best friend.

“What is it? Tell me! As long as you don’t tell Natalie about this, I’ll do anything.”

John stared at me expectantly and agreed to my condition before I even revealed it.
