After Marrying My Boss

Chapter 420

Michael's voice sounded again, and his face had darkened.

My body shook as I turned to look at him, a wave of emotions washing through me.

“What do you mean? If you didn't sign the divorce agreement, why was your writing on the papers?”

I was only so sure of it previously because I saw his signature on the papers. But he's telling me now that he hadn't signed it?

I didn't want to believe in his words since there was no way his signature could be fake. At the same time, there was a part of me also hoping that the signature on the divorce agreement papers wasn't real.

I wanted to pursue it further, but I suppressed my curiosity and tried my best to look calm.

“Anyway, I don't know what you're talking about. I still have some work to do so I'll be leaving for the company now. Also, I hope that we don't meet if it's not for work matters.”

He would always leave me confused whenever we met. I didn't like this feeling at all. It felt like my facade was close to shattering every time I see him.

“I'll send you there.”

Just as I was about to get down from the car, he grabbed my hand and fastened my seatbelt.

“No need. I can take a cab there.”

I was scared when I thought about how recklessly he had driven earlier. I didn't want to stay in his car one minute more. It didn't matter that he wasn't scared of getting into an accident because I was.

I had to stay alive since Amaury wasn't back to my side yet.

However, there was no point in refusing at all as Michael immediately started to drive when he was done fastening my seatbelt.

I hated how domineering he was, but I knew well enough not to argue with him. If I were to argue and anger him again, I would be the only one in danger.

Fortunately, he didn't drive like how he had previously after he cooled off. He drove slowly as he kept his eyes on the road, but his brows were furrowed, seemingly in deep thoughts.

Once we arrived at the company, he stopped the car and turned to look at me.

However, I ignored him and got off the car immediately.

I was in a bad mood after seeing him that day, and it seemed like he had something on his mind as he didn't say anything.

Feeling irritated, I locked myself in my office once I got in. Not only did my business fail, but I also had a fight with Michael. Everything seemed to be going wrong that day.

I flipped through the documents on my table in frustration, trying to distract myself from what had happened. Right then, the door opened and Nicholas walked in.

My brows knitted together at the sight of him as I could guess what he was about to say.

Lowering my head, I pretended to work as I didn't want to talk to him.

“I saw you getting down from a car earlier. Did Michael send you here?”

As expected, he always spoke of Michael whenever he opened his mouth as though all that he paid attention to was my business with Michael.

“He did. Is there a problem?” I answered truthfully with an indifferent expression as I look up at him.

I disliked the fact that he was always trying to sound me out subtly. It made it seem like I would betray him.

Nicholas was taken aback for a moment. When he finally snapped back to his senses, he made his way toward me.

“It sounds like you don't like it when I ask about you two. I'm just concerned about you. I know that you're someone who places great value on relationships, so I was worried that you'd fall in too deep again. I didn't want to see you hurt again.”

He came by my side and held my hand, looking at me with a gentle look on his face.

I didn't feel anything after hearing his sweet words. I was aware that he was always saying stuff like this because he had some feelings for me, but I know that he cared more about business deep inside his heart.

The reason he was so concerned about Michael and me was that he was afraid that I would get back together with that man. He was worried that his chances of winning against Michael would be lower if he didn't have my help.

“You don't have to worry about that. I know what to do,” I said bluntly, turning away from him.

“Anna, did you notice that your attitude toward me is colder ever since you met with Michael after you returned to the country? We used to be so close back in Anglandur. But whenever we talk about Michael now, you always look frustrated. Are you being wary of me now?”

Nicholas frowned and looked at me in disappointment.

I was annoyed initially but started to feel guilty after hearing what he had said.
