Love from My Dominant Boss novel Chapter 77

It was a sleepless night for me. When I looked into the mirror the next morning, I sighed irritably upon seeing the dark circles under my eyes.

I prepared some breakfast for myself but didn’t have an appetite. Thus, I only ate a little bit and went to the office.

Never did I expect Michael to be serious about working in Joyful Success for half a year, but he actually set up his own office here.

Glancing at the temporary CEO’s office a short distance away, I began to worry about what happened with Michael the previous night.

I felt skittish every time I saw him, so I really didn’t know how I was going to get through the next six months of seeing him every day.

Fortunately for me, Michael was a workaholic and treated everyone else like thin air whenever he was working. Naturally, he didn’t make things difficult for me either.

Just before getting off work, I was arranging the files on my desk when my phone rang. Glancing at the caller ID, panic rose in me when I saw that it was Yuval.

I peeked at Michael’s office guiltily.

Seeing as his attention was focused on a document in his hand, I quickly picked up the call.

“Anna, are you still at work? What took you so long to answer?”

Yuval’s warm and gentle voice drifted across the line.

“Mm-hmm. I’m about to leave the office now,” I answered blandly and shot another glance at the CEO’s office.

But this time, I found Michael staring straight at me.

When our gazes collided, I was thrown into a frenzy and quickly looked away. For some reason, I felt guilty for answering Yuval’s call in front of him.

“We haven’t seen each other for a few days now. Let’s have dinner together tonight.”

Yuval’s voice jerked me back to my senses.

“Uhm, I…”

I didn’t know how to face Yuval. After all, I already promised Michael that I’d maintain my relationship with him for another six months. During this period of time, there was no way Yuval and I could get along like a normal couple.

But I couldn’t bring myself to give up on Yuval just to continue my relationship with Michael. It wasn’t because I was fickle-hearted, but because I finally found a man who I was compatible with, and who was willing to marry me. I didn’t want to go through all the trouble again.

For me, it was very difficult to find a suitable man to spend the rest of my life with. Not to mention, I might never be able to find another man like him.

“What’s wrong, Anna? You can’t make it?”

Without waiting for my answer, Yuval’s voice sounded again, and I could detect the disappointment in his tone.

“That’s not it. Then let’s-”

I was about to agree to Yuval’s invitation, but Michael’s voice interrupted me.

“Anna, there are a few more documents here that need sorting. Do it now.”

Standing not far away from me, Michael looked at me with an icy and unreadable expression on his face.
