After Marrying My Boss

Chapter 415

The look on Nicholas' face immediately changed and he gazed at me with his dark, fiery eyes.

“So the rumors are true. You did sleep with a man last night! Who is it? Is it Michael?”

Nicholas stood up and placed his hands on my desk. Looming over me, I could see that his eyes were filled with anger and rage.

Upon mentioning Michael's name, I panicked but managed to keep it under control.

I then feigned anger and asked him coldly, “What do you mean by that? Why must it be Michael? Am I really that untrustworthy in your eyes?”

Perhaps it was my first time being angry at him, his eyes flashed with a glint of regret.

However, his regret dissipated almost immediately, though the suspicion in his eyes remained.

“Are you saying that you were not with Michael last night? Then who was it?”

Nicholas furrowed his brows and looked at me questioningly.

“This is my private matter. Are you saying that I need to report to you? Even if I were to get myself a gigolo, is that something that I must run by you first?”

I stared at Nicholas, my gaze glacial. I hated it when he tried to control my private life. We were not in a relationship, after all, and it was preposterous for him to try and do so.

Seeing that I was angry, Nicholas' face fell. However, his eyes that were gazing at me were still burning in anger.

Taking a deep breath, he tried to tamp down his raging fury. However, he still failed to contain it and he yelled at me boisterously, “Did you really look for a gigolo in a club? Anna, since when do you casually sleep around with men? If you need a man, I'm here for you and I can satisfy your needs. But you chose to look for a gigolo instead! If someone finds out about this, your reputation will be tarnished!”


I was completely stunned and was unable to process what was going on. We had known each other for one year, but it was the first time that he spoke to me like this, and on this kind of topic.

More than that, however, I was baffled by his statement. Putting aside that I did not do as I said, I would never consider having sex with Nicholas even if I was horny.

Nonetheless, I kept such a comment to myself. I knew that if I say them out loud, Nicholas might relate it to Michael once again.

Lowering my head, I said softly, “Last night was an accident. It won't happen again.”

I wanted to end the conversation as soon as possible.

Nicholas looked at me in the eyes and uttered in a deep voice, “Fine, let's move on from this then. I hope you don't do such a thing ever again. Any man that likes you will not be able to accept this.”

“Okay, I got it,” I replied flatly.

Inside, I heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he's not suspicious of anything.

“Okay, you should get back to work. We'll need to speak with Red Star about the collaboration later. You know Michael very well and I think you are the perfect candidate to attend the meeting. It will significantly increase our chance of success.”

Nicholas changed the topic and spoke to me calmly.

“Okay. I'll go get ready and head out in the afternoon.”

I started preparing the documents for the meeting. Red Star was the first target that our company wanted to take over from Michael.

As I started working, Nicholas was prepared to leave, but he came to a halt at the exit.

“If you need somebody to accompany you next time, feel free to give me a call. I hate the thought that some random guy gets to sleep with you.”

Before I could react, Nicholas was already out of my office.

I stared at the door that had been slammed shut, speechless. In Nicholas' mind, I must have become a lustful and horny woman, huh?

However, what he thought was none of my concern. After all, I was the one who knew what the truth was.

At the end of the day, Michael was to be blamed for the gossip. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have had such a problematic day.

I thought my explanation to Nicholas would stay between the two of us. But by afternoon, almost everyone knew about it. It appeared that somebody was eavesdropping when the conversation took place.

In the blink of an eye, my image in the company quickly went downhill. Everyone thought that I was a loose woman who was lustful and horny, and their stares changed drastically, in a bad way.

In the pantry, I wanted to make myself a cup of coffee when I overheard a conversation about me again.
