After Marrying My Boss

Chapter 376

“Anna, Michael, nice to meet you,” Yvette greeted us like how Steven addressed us.

I flashed her a polite smile. Meanwhile, Michael only nodded slightly at her, devoid of expression.

When Yvette looked at Michael, I caught a glimpse of unmistakable admiration that flashed across her eyes.

As I observed her discreetly, I noticed that she had been scanning the whole restaurant excitedly ever since she stepped into the place. It seemed she was over the moon to have the chance for a meal in a five-star restaurant. Apart from that, she could barely take her eyes off Michael.

“Yvette, please take a seat first,” I uttered placidly, breaking her reverie.

Wearing a look of sheer blissfulness, Yvette seemed oblivious to my presence. In an instant, I could not help but dislike her even more.

“Yvette, how old are you? What do your parents do?” I cut the crap right after Steven sat down with her. I put on my brightest smile and tried to look as sincere as possible.

“Anna, aren't we here for a meal? But why do you sound like an officer probing for information?” Steven responded preemptively with a hint of displeasure written all over his face. He was seemingly trying to stop me from asking Yvette all those questions.

I refuted casually, “Take it easy. I'm just chatting with Yvette. After all, it will take quite a while before the dishes are served. Yvette, you don't mind that, do you?”

Shooting Steven a glance, I felt a prickle of annoyance. Hmph! Does he know that I'm sounding her out for his sake? I need to ensure she does not have an ulterior motive to be with him!

“Anna, no issue at all. I'm twenty-one years old, and my parents are just general workers,” Yvette replied briefly.


I could sense she lacked confidence when mentioning that her parents were general workers.

“Oh! That sounds great! We're from the village too.” I sounded casual.

So her parents are just general workers? But how could the daughter of the general workers afford all these branded outfits? I had a feeling that she was a good-for-nothing spendthrift.

Since she's not from a well-to-do family, doesn't she know the importance of leading a simple and practical life? How could she spend extravagantly instead? I bet she must be telling lies or having some personality issues.

“Anna, I heard from Steven that you used to work in this city before marrying Michael?” Yvette switched the topic at once. After flashing a glance at me, she turned to cast a look at Michael.

There was not even the slightest bit of change in Michael's countenance. He lifted the glass of water and took a sip without sparing Yvette a glance.

“Oh yeah! Yvette, I have told you that Michael is a millionaire and possesses a lot of properties before. Joyful Success Advertisements, which is deemed the largest in the city, is one of his businesses. Other than that, he has shares in hotel franchises and real estate too!” Steven cut me off by changing the topic and babbling about Michael instead.

I furrowed my brows at Steven's impulsiveness. Undeniably, I was displeased when he blabbered about Michael's wealth. No doubt, anyone could get to know more about him by searching online. However, I felt it was unwise to reveal so much to Yvette before we could get to know her better.

“Wow! Michael, you are already so capable at such a young age!” Yvette's eyes lit up in an instant with gleams of wonder.

“Please excuse me. I need to use the washroom.” I glared at Steven and picked up my bag to head for the washroom.

The moment I got to my feet, Yvette gasped, “Ah! Anna, the bag you're holding is the latest design from LV, am I right? It costs almost two hundred thousand! My goodness! You're really rich!”

Her eyes widened in sheer disbelief as she fastened her gaze on the bag in my hand.

Sensing her penetrative gaze, I lowered my head to look at my bag instinctively. However, I had never really been into all the so-called designer brands. Thus, I was unaware that it actually cost almost two hundred thousand! Good gracious! How could such an ordinary-looking bag cost so much!

Undoubtedly, she was a materialistic girl who was a freeloader. If not, how could someone from an ordinary family know that my bag is the latest design of the year with only one glimpse?

“She can easily grab handfuls of bags like this and doesn't even realize how much they cost!” Michael, who had remained silent for quite a while, piped out exaggeratively.

I was startled by his unusual brags. As far as I knew, he had never sounded insolent like someone filthy rich before. It seemed he was doing so deliberately in the face of Yvette.

“Ah! You can easily grab handfuls of these bags! Anna, you and Michael are really rich! I'm envious of you for owning such eye-catching bags!” Yvette heaved a sigh admiringly.

Apparently, Michael's words had whipped her up. When she turned to look at me again, there were inexplicit glitters in her eyes. I could not help but grimace at her repulsive reaction. It was as though she was trying to get closer to me in a way.
