After marrying my boss (Anna)
Chapter 260

Chapter 260

“Just friends? Do you think that I'm foolish enough to believe you, Anna?”

Not believing my explanation, Michael became more agitated. While he stammered, a sharp glintflashed across his eyes.

He was doubting my relationship with Ronan.

While I looked into his dark eyes, my gaze flitted. However, in the next second, anger surged throughme.

“It's none of my business whether you believe me or not. Neither does my relationship with Ronan haveanything to do with you! What right do you have to interrogate me, Michael?”

Since he was already going to marry Emma, he had no right to ask me all these questions.

“Anna Garcia!”

I spoke coldly and clearly. However, my words only served to make Michael more enraged. He glaredat me angrily, his expression becoming grim.

I met his gaze calmly, unwilling to give in. Since he was about to marry Emma, there was no reasonwhy I should endure his domineering acts. He had no right to treat me like this.

Just when I thought that Michael would lose his temper, something unexpected happened—he leanedhis head on my shoulder and fell asleep.

It was as if it was another person being enraged earlier.

A surprised look flashed across my eyes. When I returned to my senses, I realized that he had actuallyfallen asleep.

I stared at Michael's handsome face, which was merely inches away from me. He looked so quiet whenasleep. Perhaps, I would not have any opportunities to look at him from such a close distance in thefuture.

Extending my arm, I wanted to caress his face. However, just when I was about to touch him, I froze.Although I yearned to stay by his side quietly like this, I could not do that. It had been a tough strugglefor me to control my emotions. I was afraid that once I touched him, my rationality would disappear.

Hence, I turned around and averted my gaze from Michael. Exerting all my force, I pushed him awayfrom me. Although he wasn't a huge guy, he was still exceptionally heavy to me.

I had to use a lot of force before I managed to shove him away. Standing up, I glanced down at hisface. It had been ages since I had looked at him so intently.

I wished to stay by his side until he wakes up, but I knew that he should not stay at my place. After all,he was about to get married. If someone found out that he had stayed overnight at my place before hiswedding day, both of us would become the gossip of the town again. Furthermore, this would impactMichael's reputation.

I deliberated about it for a long time before whipping out my phone and giving Emma a call.

She was the one whom I was the most reluctant to contact. However, she was also the only one whocould bring Michael away. After all, she was his wife-to-be.

While the call was going through, my heart pounded. Calling Emma made me feel very uneasy.

“What's the matter?”

Emma's voice sounded cold when she picked up. In front of Michael, she might still put up a friendlierfront toward me. However, when he was absent, her true colors would shine through.

“Michael's drunk and he's at my place. If you're free, come here now and bring him away. I don't wantto cause any misunderstandings.”

Although I felt annoyed at how cold she sounded, I had no choice but to suppress my fury and reply inan equally curt manner.

“What? Michael's at your place? Anna, what dirty tricks have you played to lure him there? Why haven'tyou given up?” demanded Emma coldly upon hearing that Michael was with me, her voice bristling withfury.

As long as Michael had something to do with me, Emma would assume that I had resorted tounscrupulous methods to seduce him. To her, I was nothing more than a despicable woman.

“Stop thinking of everyone in such a horrid way. If I haven't given up, would I still call you and ask youto bring Michael away? I've already called you. It's up to you whether you want to come or not.”

Even though I called Emma to clarify my relationship with Michael, it did not mean that she could

humiliate me however she liked. I did not owe her anything, so I would not endure her bullying.

I hung up after speaking, not giving her a chance to speak.

Looking at Michael, who was fast asleep on the couch, I was slightly reluctant to let him leave just likethat.

As he had drunk a lot, his face was flushed. I grabbed a wet towel and wiped his face attentively.

“Anna, you're my woman... You're mine...” mumbled Michael drowsily, still groggy with sleep.

Perhaps, he could sense my presence beside him.

My heart pounded when I heard what he said. Michael's still calling out for me when he's drunk. Is itbecause he loves me?

But if he loves me, why would he still be together with another woman? Why is he marrying someoneelse?

I thought that I understood Michael well. However, I now realized that I knew nothing about him. Otherthan his company's future, I did not know what else was important to him.

Although he did not like Emma, he chose to marry her. Regardless of whether he made the choice forthe sake of his company, or if his family forced him to, I still could not understand it. Are thesesuperficial things more important than his happiness for the rest of his life?

I gazed at Michael, who was still mumbling my name. Every time he called out my name, my heart

would skip a beat.

Knowing that Michael would never change his mind as long as he had made his decision, I tried mybest to not let my resolve be swayed by his drunken words.

Just when I was staring at his handsome face, letting all those wild thoughts rush through my mind, Iheard the urgent clacking of heels outside.

Since I did not close the door, Emma barged straight into my house. When she spotted me wipingMichael's face, her eyes blazed with rage.

She strode toward me and roared, “Anna, you b*tch! What are you doing?”

Still not satisfied after yelling at me, she shoved me aside. As I was caught off guard, I collapsed ontothe floor.

My first instinct was to shield my stomach with my hand. After being pushed by Emma, I was equallyfurious. Now that I was pregnant, I would not let anyone do anything that could harm my baby.

“Anna, how shameless can you be? Michael's going to be married to me soon. Everyone in the nationknows about our wedding! Yet, you're still seducing him in the middle of the night. It seems yourshamelessness knows no limits!”
