Chapter 456 Interrogated By The Director
“You are not allowed to speak to me in that tone again. If you do, I will punish you every day.” He ate his breakfast gracefully and had a stoic expression on his handsome face, but his words were driving me insane.
“Aren’t you asking too much? You know how I feel about… “ I glared at him and spoke up to reject his proposal, but he cut my words short.
“I don’t care if you see me as an enemy or a competitor. As far as I am concerned, you are my lover, and I am yours.”
His voice was serious and domineering. When he said those words, my heart jumped uncontrollably for a moment there. There was a moment when I was touched.
I knew there was no point in arguing with him because I would just end up in a worse position than I already was. Hence, I pretended to be okay with it. “Fine, I’ll do my best to keep things that way. All I ask is that you stop crossing the line and do the unspeakable. If you do, I won’t be able to contain my fury.”
There were some things I could withstand, but if he were to force me to do the dirty every day… Yeah, that is definitely not something I am okay with.
“That would depend on your performance. If you keep behaving that way, I might have to teach you that lesson a couple of times a day. That is why you should consider being nicer to me. It’ll benefit you after all.”
His expression remained unreadable, but his smirk was brimming with confidence. That showed me I was truly at a disadvantage. He knew what I was most worried about, and he was going to keep threatening me with it.
Anger was building inside me, but I couldn’t vent them out on him, so I kept eating to control my emotions.
That was when a glass of milk showed up beside me. Michael smiled at me and sweetly said, “You’re eating so much so quickly. Aren’t you worried about choking?”
I was fine until he mentioned it. Suddenly, I didn’t know how to chew anymore, and I ended up choking. I kept tapping my chest and was having an especially hard time.
My best guess was that he saw something off with the way I acted, and that frightened him as well. He hurried over to me and patted my back while feeding me that glass of milk.
I couldn’t be bothered to fight him at the time, so I quickly accepted that milk and drank as much as I could. Soon, the milk washed the food down my throat, and I was finally fine.
“I told you to slow down, didn’t I?” scolded Michael.
His tone carried a hint of concern when he saw how much I was suffering, and it was as though he actually cared about me.
“This isn’t all on me. I wouldn’t be in this shape if you hadn’t been so shameless and evil toward me.”
He was the reason I was in that state, so I was angry at him for putting the blame on me. Seriously, can he not sympathize at all?
“Okay, okay, it’s all my fault. Satisfied?”
His lips curved into an exasperated grin, and he said those words in the most loving tone.
He didn’t badger me even after breakfast and took me back to my apartment right away. I changed my clothes before heading to my workplace. That was when I realized everyone was staring strangely at me.
When I walked past them, however, I sensed them gossiping behind my back. I couldn’t hear what they were saying, but I could more or less guess the topic was about what happened yesterday. They were probably talking about why I got into Michael’s car.
