After Marrying My Boss

Chapter 123

His kiss was gentle and lingering as if he was kissing a woman he loved. His sudden gentleness took me completely off guard, sending my heart racing a thousand miles per hour. I had no idea why he suddenly had a one-eighty change, but I could not help but fall for this tender side of him.

I continued to let him kiss me and forgot to push him away as my mind went utterly blank.

After a couple of minutes, Michael finally let me go and smiled at me affectionately. On the other hand, I was stupefied.

When he was about to inch closer again, the magnified view of his attractive face snapped me back to my senses.

“I should get going now. Bye!” Panicked, I hurriedly bade him goodbye, opened the door, and hopped out of the car. As I turned around to close the door, I caught a glimpse of smugness in his eyes.

I was baffled at first, but a second later, I found the answer.

Not far away from us, Yuval was staring at me with a scowl on his face.

Seeing him made me freeze in an instant.

Michael must have kissed me on purpose a moment ago to drive a wedge between Yuval and me. How conniving!

As I stood frozen on the spot, Yuval strode toward me, and all I could do was stare at him wordlessly. No doubt he had seen us making out just now, and an explanation simply couldn't suffice. After all, we were kissing -- and that was the truth.

After a while, Yuval stopped in front of me. Currently, his eyebrows were furrowed deeply, and his usual amiable demeanor had disappeared.

“Yuval, I...” My voice tapered off into silence. Looking at him, I had a million words to tell him, but I did not know which one to say.

“Where were you last night? I called you many times, but you didn't answer any of it,” Yuval inquired.

He did not raise his voice, but I could hear the reproach in his voice.

It was the first time he spoke to me in such an indifferent tone, given his gentlemanly personality. Even though I felt uncomfortable with it, I knew he was trying hard to keep his cool, so I felt no resentment toward him.

If I were him, I wouldn't have been as calm as he is now.

“Yuval, is it okay if I explain it to you next time? I don't know what to say now,” I pleaded, wringing my hands nervously.

Everything happened so suddenly, and I was not prepared for it at all. I'm so overwhelmed now.

All of a sudden, Michael's voice rang from behind. “What do you mean you don't know what to say? Just tell him that you stayed the night at my place, and you didn't answer his call because we were busy last night.”

Although he did not say the exact thing we had done, it was not difficult to understand what he was implying. Upon hearing his insinuation, Yuval's face fell immediately, and the anger in his eyes blazed.

“Anna, is it true? Were you two together last night and even had...” Yuval's voice trailed off.

He probably did not finish the sentence out of courtesy. Or perhaps he could not bring himself to say the word.

Uneasy with his questioning, I could no longer hold his blazing gaze and looked away guilty.

With his sensibility, he should be able to derive the truth from my reaction just now. I really want to explain myself, but what's happened has happened. I can't deny anything he has said.

Seeing that Michael was still standing beside me, Yuval flicked a glance at him and said coldly, “Mr. Shaw, this is between Anna and me. Please don't meddle in our affairs.”

I had never seen Yuval getting so mad before.

“You don't get to tell me what to do, and you don't get to decide for Anna as well. She can choose whichever man she wants!” Michael let out a scoff, staring at Yuval with equal spitefulness.

The intense stare-down ensued for a couple of seconds until Yuval blinked, backing down.

Exasperated with Michael's behavior, I finally said, “That's enough, Mr. Shaw. I believe I've made myself very clear. From now onwards, I hope you will stop causing chaos in my life. You and I are just colleagues.”

I knew that Michael was deliberately sowing discord between Yuval and me, but I could not understand why he did that. Is it because he doesn't want me to be with another man so that he can continue to sleep with me? How absurd!
