After marrying my boss (Anna)

Chapter 332

“In my opinion, I think you're already overestimating Steven by giving him a position as a security guardin Joyful Success. Judging by his personality and ability, I know you don't even want to hire him as acleaner. That is why I think you're already showing a lot of compassion by giving him that position.”

No one knew Steven better than me. Knowing Michael's personality, he was already kind enough to letsuch a parasite work in the company.

Michael's expression didn't change drastically, as if he had already expected such a reply from me.Just when I thought he wouldn't dwell on the topic anymore, he suddenly said, “Ever since Stevenstarted working here, he had been bullying other employees by using his connection with me. What doyou think? How should I solve this?”

Michael's sudden question caught me completely off guard. Never would I expect Steven to dare topick on other people in the company. To make it worse, he even used Michael's name to do so.

Michael said all those somewhat casually, yet I could feel that he was on the verge of losing hispatience with Steven.

Thus, I lowered my head in guilt, not having the courage to meet his gaze.

“I'm sorry that Steven's employment has caused you so much trouble.”

I should have known better than to let that troublemaker get hired into the company. This isn't good. Ishould have rejected Mom when she asked Michael to arrange a job for Steven in the company.

“This has nothing to do with you. I'm telling you this because I don't want you to misunderstand if I

punish Steven later,” he explained gently.

As he said so, he brushed my hair with his slender fingers lightly. His eyes shone with affection whenhe looked at me.

Upon meeting his dark eyes, I felt myself falling into his deep gaze. All my foul mood dissipated atonce.

“I know that you're a fair person when it comes to work-related matters. So, I won't say anythingregardless of how you plan to deal with Steven. After all, he's the one at fault.”

Previously, when I worked in Joyful Success, Michael would put on a cold expression whenever I failedto complete a task. Now that Steven had done something wrong, there was no excuse for him toescape punishment.

I knew that Michael wouldn't punish Steven harshly for my sake. However, it was necessary to teachSteven a lesson. After all, it wouldn't be good for Michael's reputation if Steven kept getting full ofhimself in the company by using his name.

After hearing my response, Michael said nothing and flashed me a smile. Seeing that, I knew that mywords had eased his self-conflict.

“Michael, thank you for everything you've done for me. You could have refused to hire Steven backthen, but why didn't you?”

I felt touched by his kindness as I leaned my head against his shoulder.

He surprised me when he calmly said, “I know that you want Steven to change and become a betterperson.”

At that, I quickly regarded him in disbelief. That's what my heart truly desires. I can't believe he knows!

I seldom mentioned my family in front of him all this while, as I knew they had only ever given himheadaches. Therefore, I had never told him how much I wanted Steven to change.

“You know my thoughts?”

I stared dumbly at Michael. Only after a while did I snap out of my daze and ask.

“You're my woman, so how can I not know? However, have you heard of the saying, a leopard can'tchange its spots? You should be ready that your wish could be unfulfilled in the end.”

His voice was deep and beguiling while he hugged me tightly.

So, he knows my thoughts but doesn't think they can be achieved. He doubts that Steve can change.Upon hearing his words, I couldn't help but feel disappointed. After all, Michael had always had anaccurate intuition when he judged a person.

In the end, I sighed and didn't say anything anymore. Anyway, I've given Steven a chance. Let's hopethat he won't disappoint me again.

After dinner and a love-making session on the bed, Michael went to the study to continue dealing withhis work. Only after did I realize that he was back early that day because he missed me, not because

he had finished his work. That realization made my heart flutter uncontrollably.

Even though I felt extremely exhausted and drained every single time after an intimate session, I feltblissful at the same time, as I knew he would want to do it only because he liked me.

Contrarily, if he had no feelings for me at all, he wouldn't even bother to spare me a glance.

I was resting alone in the room after Michael went to the study. The moment I thought of how hetreated me now, a smile crawled onto my face as happiness filled my heart.

In the following days, life went on peacefully as everything returned to the way they were supposed tobe. Emma was sentenced to five years in prison for kidnapping me. Meanwhile, the company thatbelonged to the Jones family had to announce bankruptcy under Michael's heavy pressure.

As time passed, my baby bump finally became visible. At the thought of how our child was growing inmy belly, I couldn't help but anticipate the day I got to see the baby's face.

During this period, Michael had finished dealing with almost all his work in the company. He promisedto give me another wedding to make me the happiest woman in the world, and I believed whatever hesaid.

As long as he stayed by my side, I would be the most blessed woman in the world. After all, he was thebest thing that had ever happened to me.

It was a Monday when Michael urged me to get up from bed early in the morning. Surprisingly, he didn'tgo to the company as usual.

What has gotten into him today? He had never disturbed my rest before.

As I got eaten up by curiosity, I opened my eyes hazily to replace him finished dressing up. My hearttrembled at the sight of his handsome face that was inches from mine.

“It's already late. Shouldn't you go to work now?”

I tried my best to keep my eyes open, yet there was still a hint of exhaustion in my voice. Ever since Igot pregnant, I would get sleepy easily and spend most of my time in my dreams.

“We need to do something important today. Quick. Get out of bed and freshen up.”

Michael then curved his lips into a mysterious smile and stood up without explaining further.

Seeing that, I furrowed my brows in puzzlement. What? What is this mysterious important thing? Andwhy do I need to go as well? How weird!
