Chapter 451 The Condition
Michael’s warning that he might accidentally lose the recording to then be picked up by Nicholas or my colleagues was nothing but a veiled threat. By doing so, he couldn’t be any more unscrupulous.
“Michael, are you blackmailing me?” I glared at him with my eyes spitting fire. I couldn’t believe how loathsome he could be for threatening me with something like that.
“There’s nothing I can do if you feel this way. Although, I must admit that you don’t seem to have much of a choice. Anna, the decision is in your hands.”
Michael shrugged his shoulders as he ignored my words. Moreover, I could even see the smugness in his eyes.
“Michael, you’re too much! If you dare leak the recording out, I swear I will be your mortal enemy for the rest of your life!” I threatened while staring furiously at him.
His vileness was now beyond my belief.
“Fine. Doesn’t that mean we will be entangled with each other for the rest of our lives? Even though you love me, is all this really necessary?”
He cracked out a smile, as if whatever I said had no effect on him.
Having been rendered speechless every time I talked to him, I was both angry at the situation and at myself. After all, I was always at the losing end of every argument.
“Michael, can you just stop it?” I shot him an exasperated look.
At that moment, I felt as if I was about to explode from him getting on my nerves. If I were to agree to his conditions, I wondered if I would be driven mad by how despicable he was.
Raising his brows, he retracted his mesmerizing smile and asked me in a serious tone, “Wouldn’t the problem be solved once you agree to my condition? The decision lies in your hands, don’t you think? After all, I have given you two choices.”
Cognizant that he would never give me a third choice, I was filled with anger. Nevertheless, I had two paths in front of me. Obviously, I couldn’t choose the latter. In the event the recording fell into the hands of my colleagues, there was no way I could face the world anymore.
In spite of that, agreeing to his condition was just as difficult. Given that all I wanted to do was to break ties with him, there was no way I could consent to what he was asking of me. If I did, it would mean that I had to give in to him every time he asked me to sleep with him.
“Have you made your decision?”
Michael looked at me with a knowing smile.
I was irritated by the confident look on his face. Evidently, he could already guess what my decision was going to be.
“I’ll agree to your condition, but I too have one of my own.”
Left without a choice, I was forced to relent. Nonetheless, I was a lot smarter now and no longer the Anna of old.
