After Marrying My Boss
Chapter 159
My heart lurched at Millie's suspicious look, and panic struck me. Oh God, what's the meaning of this? Why is she asking me such a question? Don't tell me she has learned about my relationship with Michael?
“W-What do you mean? What kind of relationship could I have with Mr. Shaw?”
I regarded her with a flustered expression, my voice tinged with a hint of guilt.
“Ah, stop lying to me! Mr. Shaw came to the office yesterday and personally applied for leave on your behalf. Everyone was shocked and wondered about your relationship with him.”
Millie eyed me nosily, her gaze radiating curiosity.
“I-I was going to phone Mr. Doyle to apply for leave yesterday, but I somehow rang up Mr. Shaw instead,” I hastily clarified while looking at her sheepishly.
Phew! I thought she has learned about my relationship with Michael, but it seems that all the uproar is just because he helped me to apply for leave.
“Anna, I just feel that your relationship with Mr. Shaw isn't that simple. Don't tell me the two of you are actually dating?”
Millie didn't believe my explanation, her eyes brimming with delight as she said that.
“What nonsense are you spouting, Millie? How could I possibly have anything to do with him? I'm just an ordinary employee. Please stop saying such a thing, for it'll certainly bring me trouble if others overhear such speculation.”
While she was merely postulating, the panic within me snowballed. D*mn it! Now that she's starting to suspect my relationship with Michael, it may truly come to light in the future!
“Alright, alright. I was just joking, so why are you so panicked? The more flustered you are, the more people will suspect you!”
“Don't simply say such a thing in the future. I don't want to invite unnecessary trouble.”
After saying that coldly, I proceeded to ignore her and buried my head in my work. Truth be told, I was a little bent out of shape because of her remark earlier.
Millie stuck out her tongue at me. Perhaps realizing that she had gone overboard with her allegations, she merely cast me a hesitant glance without further comment.
My emotions were a chaotic mess the entire morning. Thanks to Millie's comments, I simply couldn't concentrate on my work.
My heart lurched at Millie's suspicious look, and panic struck me. Oh God, what's the meaning of this? Why is she asking me such a question? Don't tell me she has learned about my relationship with Michael?
After having lunch, I went to the washroom. When I entered the washroom, I accidentally bumped into two colleagues from my department.
“I'm sorry. I didn't mean to bump into you,” I promptly apologized.
“Are you blind? That hurts, you know!”
Initially, I thought that everything would be fine after apologizing. However, the female colleague whom I bumped into seemed disinclined to drop the matter. She shot daggers at me, her words scathing.
I frowned as chagrin flooded me from her biting reprisal. Jeez, I only knocked into her lightly. It's not like I slammed into her. Does it warrant such pointed barbs?
“I've already apologized just now,” I placidly murmured, lifting my head to stare at her.
“What's the use of an apology? Does it negate the fact that you rammed into me earlier?”
I didn't want to have any conflicts with my colleagues in the office, but her words truly had me seeing red. Raising my head, I glowered at her. Not wanting to entertain her further, I spun around to leave. Alas, she didn't seem willing to let me off so easily.
“Did I say you can leave? Why are you in such a hurry to leave?”
Hearing that, the wrath within me blazed all the hotter. I whirled around and regarded her frostily. “I've already apologized earlier, so what else do you want? It was unintentional on my part just now.”
While I didn't want to make trouble, it didn't mean that others could simply pick on me. Argh! Is it really necessary for her to be so unforgiving when I just bumped into her lightly?
“Oh my, how arrogant! Anna Garcia, did you think that you can do whatever you want in the office and act as though everyone is beneath you just because of your relationship with Mr. Shaw?”
She stalked up to me, her voice turning shrill.
When I heard that, I finally realized that she was targeting me because of Michael. What the hell? Don't tell me it's also because Michael applied for leave on my behalf?
“That's your assumption!”
I didn't want to explain things since it would only end in a deeper misunderstanding. After saying that, I turned around to leave.
