Love from My Dominant Boss
Chapter 209

I met Michael’s furious gaze with my own as I shouted angrily, “Mr. Shaw, I believe I shouldn’t have to report to you that I’m hanging out with my friends!”

That look of suspicion in his eyes is making me so uncomfortable! Why should I have to tell him everything in such great detail?

“How dare you take that tone with me when you’ve been out the whole day with your phone switched off?”

I was usually quiet and obedient in front of Michael, but I refused to let him have his unjust way with me that day.

“I’m a human being, not some pet or object! I have the right to meet up with my friends whenever I want to!”

He was questioning me like I was his girlfriend, and that I had been caught cheating on him, both of which were not the case here.

I felt my eyes tear up a little, but I refused to cry in front of him and forced myself to hold my tears in.

Michael froze for a brief moment before his expression turned terrifyingly grim, and he tightened his grip on my wrist even further. I grimaced in response but made sure not to cry out from the pain.

“Did you hit yourself in the head, Anna? Have you forgotten that you’re my woman now? Don’t you think you should explain to me who you were with today?” Michael growled at me through clenched teeth.

Usually, seeing him like this would’ve filled me to the brim with fear. This time, however, I felt a lot more upset than I was afraid.

“If I’m your woman, does that make you my man in return? If you’re going to question my whereabouts today, then you should also explain why you didn’t come home last night! Why did you spend the night with Emma, huh? Answer me!”

I lost control of my emotions, and my tears rolled down my cheeks as I raised my voice at him.

It was the first time I told him how I really felt, and in a questioning tone too.

He was with another woman till this morning, and he has the audacity to question me like this? Why should things be so unfair between us? What right does he have to stop me from being intimate with other guys when he spends an entire night with another woman? Does he seriously think I’m okay with that? How could he be so selfish? He never cares about my feelings at all!

Michael went wide-eyed with shock from my sudden outburst and loosened his grip on my arm significantly.

“You’re mad at me because I was with Emma last night?”

Michael asked calmly with an eyebrow arched, making it impossible to tell what he was actually feeling.

“Yeah, that’s right! I’m mad at you for sleeping with another woman! You don’t care about my feelings, and you’re always suspecting me of having inappropriate relationships with other men!”

I couldn’t care less about what he felt and poured my heart out to release all my pent-up emotions from last night.

I tried to keep them suppressed and acted like I didn’t care about it, but I couldn’t stand it any longer. Seeing him reminded me of how he had slept with Emma last night, and the mere thought of it caused my heart to ache tremendously.

Michael was taken aback by my response once again. It wasn’t the first time I had lashed out at him, but I had never been honest about my feelings each time.

“Anna!” he shouted with a frown.

“I know I don’t have the right to ask anything of you, but please let me have some freedom! I’m really stressed out lately!”

Pouring my heart out helped calm me down a lot, so my tone wasn’t as agitated as before.

“Who told you I was sleeping with Emma last night? You really have an overactive imagination, Anna!”

Instead of getting angry with me, Michael simply arched an eyebrow at me gleefully as he said that.

“She’s a very pretty woman, and you spent the night with her. I think it makes perfect sense to assume that you two had sex.”

They must’ve had sex! There’s no way a brute like Michael would be able to contain himself with a beauty sleeping next to him!

“Do you really think I would just f*ck any woman in sight? You think I don’t have any self-control at all?” Michael asked with a deep frown, clearly unhappy about what I said.

“Am I wrong? Emma’s a pretty woman, and she’s your girlfriend right now, so she wouldn’t have any reason to refuse your advances anyway…” I mumbled softly.

Michael kept insisting that he didn’t sleep with her, but I still found it a little hard to believe.

Heck, I would’ve f*cked her right then and there if I were a guy in his position! There’s no way he could’ve held himself back, especially with how pretty Emma is!

“Anna! Why won’t you believe me?”

Michael’s eyes lit up with anger and frustration when I refused to believe him.

I really wanted to take his word for it and accept the fact that they didn’t have sex last night, yet I just couldn’t help doubting him at the same time.

“I…”

“Emma was sick last night, and my mom insisted that I go look after her. Because she kept clinging to me, I ended up spending the night on the couch instead!”

Despite being on the verge of exploding with anger, Michael clenched his teeth and explained himself anyway.

It was the first time he had actually made an effort to explain himself seriously, and I shuddered a little when I realized he was most likely telling the truth.

“So… You really didn’t have sex with Emma?”

I asked him once again just to make sure and would choose to believe him if he could answer me firmly.

“Anna, how dare you doubt my words? Do I even have a reason to lie to you?”

I figured no one had ever doubted his word before, as he got really mad at me for it. However, I was surprised that he didn’t lash out at me this time, and that made me feel a little happy inside.
