After Marrying My Boss

Chapter 332

“In my opinion, I think you're already overestimating Steven by giving him a position as a security guard in Joyful Success. Judging by his personality and ability, I know you don't even want to hire him as a cleaner. 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 let such 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 Steven started working here, he had been bullying other employees by using his connection with me. What do you think? How should I solve this?”

Michael's sudden question caught me completely off guard. Never would I expect Steven to dare to pick 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 his patience 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. I should 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 when he looked at me.

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


“I know that you're a fair person when it comes to work-related matters. So, I won't say anything regardless 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 failed to complete a task. Now that Steven had done something wrong, there was no excuse for him to escape punishment.

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

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

“Michael, thank you for everything you've done for me. You could have refused to hire Steven back then, 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 better person.”

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 him headaches. 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't change 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 an accurate 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 hope that he won't disappoint me again.

After dinner and a love-making session on the bed, Michael went to the study to continue dealing with his 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 felt blissful 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.
