Love from My Dominant Boss novel Chapter 514

Chapter 514 Do You Have A Girlfriend

“If I told you that she has fallen for you and wants to pursue you, would you believe me?” Instead of telling him directly, I hinted at it in a joking manner. Then, I looked at his face carefully while waiting for him to respond.

He looked me in the eye and answered with just one word. “Yes.” “Are you that confident?”

His answer amused me. He hasn’t changed one bit. I still remember how he rejected a woman the first time we met after I returned to the country.

Detecting the sarcasm in my voice, he flicked back his flaxen hair with a conceited expression. “Of course. After all, someone as handsome and wealthy as me is a rare specimen. It’s only natural for women to swoon over me. It’d be strange if they didn’t.”

“You truly are a narcissist! That aspect of your character hasn’t changed in the slightest.”

It’s always so easy to talk to Ronan. The way he talks makes one feel relaxed. If I’m being honest, it’s a blessing to have a friend like him.

At that, Ronan turned to face me and began bad-mouthing Michael. “Do you want me to change? In comparison, you much prefer the quiet and reserved type like Michael. He always looks like the whole world owes him something with that infuriating expression of his that’s just begging for a good beating.”

I could not help giggling when I heard that. I can’t believe this guy has the nerve to say that about Michael. If Michael were here, someone might just end up getting a good beating.

Although I knew Ronan had only said that because he wanted to make me laugh, I could not help feeling amused.

In all the years that I’ve known Michael, no one has ever dared to say anything like that about him. Ronan is the first one. Oh, how I wish Michael were here. I can almost imagine the grim expression on his face after hearing Ronan’s “glowing” assessment of him.

“Aren’t you afraid I’ll tell Michael what you said about him? Who knows whether he’ll beat you up because of it,” I said with a chuckle. Feeling in much better spirits, I could not stop myself from cracking a joke too.

“What the heck! You won’t tell him, right? I was only trying to keep you entertained, yet you’re thinking of selling me out. We’re best buddies. You can’t do that to me,” Ronan replied, feigning a terrified look. Then, he slung an arm around my shoulder as he tried to cotton up to me.

I knew his exaggerated response was merely a deliberate act. Although he always gets the short end of the stick when he’s with Michael, his innate sense of fearlessness means that he isn’t afraid Michael will try to do anything to him. On the contrary, he always stirs the pot by provoking Michael.

“You know, I think I might give it a try after seeing how anxious you look. I’m dying to know how Michael will react after hearing what you commented about him. I wonder whether he’ll show up at your house in the dead of night and give you a sound thrashing,” I replied, putting on a threatening tone. Then, I pushed away his arm around my shoulder and quickly walked off.

“Come now, Anna. We’ve been friends for so long, so you can’t throw me under the bus like that. How am I supposed to hook up with the ladies if Michael does beat me up until I’m blue and black with a swollen face? You wouldn’t want to disfigure me so that I end up a lonely bachelor for the rest of my life, would you?”

Ronan followed behind me as he prattled on. I shook my head in resignation as I listened to his ramblings and made no reply.

This guy can always make me forget my troubles and sadness. Indeed, I had completely forgotten about everything that had happened for a moment.

When we reached the door to the ward, a grave expression replaced the mischievous look on his face moments earlier. I have to hand it to him. The speed at which he switches his facial expressions is quite impressive indeed.

I opened the door and walked in with Ronan close behind. The only person in the ward was the housekeeper, and there was no sign of Janette. I guessed she must have run out after getting slapped and had yet to return.
