After Marrying My Boss

Michael was already home by the time I returned. He flashed me an unhappy look for coming home late and asked, “What took you so long? You finished work hours ago.”

“Why don't you go ask your girlfriend?”

Emma's repeated harassments left me in a bad mood and even seeing Michael annoyed me greatly.

“Huh? What did Emma do to you?”

Michael frowned slightly in shock as he didn't expect us to know each other.

“What do you think? Of course she tried to threaten me into leaving you!”

I had been constantly threatened ever since I got into this relationship with Michael, and it was really getting on my nerves.

What annoyed me the most was how Emma kept picking a fight with me even though I never did anything to her. If she really wants to be with Michael that badly, she should be persuading him to break it off with me instead! What's the point of coming to me again and again?

Michael went silent after hearing what I said. Judging by how his expression had turned grim, I figured he didn't like what Emma did either as he hated others interfering in his affairs.

However, him being quiet angered me just as much. Emma only threatened me because of him, so he should at least say something about it.

“Mr. Shaw, you're the one who refused to end this relationship with me, so I hope your little girlfriend will stop harassing me because of it. I'm just trying to do my job and earn a living here.”

Emma's threat to expose my relationship with Michael to everyone in the office left me somewhat concerned as I wouldn't be able to continue working there if that happened.

Michael frowned at me in response and said coldly, “I hate it when women unrelated to me meddle in my affairs. Don't worry, Anna, I'll take care of this!”

I felt a lot more relieved after hearing that. Emma isn't afraid of me, but that doesn't mean she isn't afraid of Michael. There's no way she'd dare anger a guy she's trying to be with!

Michael headed over to the balcony with his phone in hand while I prepared dinner in the kitchen. He was emanating an icy-cold aura all over, and I could tell he was furious after our conversation earlier.

Unable to help my curiosity, I strained my ears to eavesdrop on their conversation.

“Emma, don't you think you're crossing the line here? How dare you meddle in my personal affairs?”

Of course, I could only hear what Michael said from where I stood.

“Listen, this is just an arrangement made by our families. I am not interested in you at all, got it? Don't let me catch you meddling in my personal affairs ever again, or there'll be hell to pay!”

Michael had always been a very cold person and never held back toward people he didn't like, even if that person was his gorgeous girlfriend.

Watching Emma's threats and vicious attitude disappear completely as she submitted to Michael's nasty outburst had me feeling incredibly satisfied.

Michael hung up the phone after dropping a couple more warnings and returned to the living room with a cold look on his face.

“Michael, aren't you afraid of angering Emma by talking to her like that? She is still your girlfriend, after all...” I spoke up eventually after staring at him in silence for quite a while.

I couldn't bring myself to understand why Michael wouldn't deny her being his girlfriend if he didn't like her at all.

He claims it's an arrangement that his family made, but... Given how domineering and stubborn Michael is, I doubt anyone would be able to force him into anything!
