After Marrying My Boss

Chapter 457

Those people kept mum after I blurted out those words. They looked at me as if they were trying to figure out if I had told them the truth.

“Ms. Garcia, if there's nothing between you and Michael, you don't have to hide what you two said or did last night. We can only trust you if you tell us everything. We acknowledge and appreciate your capabilities, but we can't keep a suspicious person around in the organization no matter how competent you are.”

The director made it clear that I must come clean and explain to them what had happened between Michael and me last night. Otherwise, they would kick me out of the company.

The ego in me would not allow them to threaten us like this.

Frustration kicked in, and I retaliated. “I understand what you want from me, but I don't think I need to report my personal affairs to everyone here. If all of you still don't believe what I've said, I'll leave the company right now!”

Without hesitation, I took down the employee tag and placed it on the desk. Why should I work for a company that doesn't even believe me?

All the directors' expressions changed as they were taken aback by my move. I bet they thought I would succumb to their threats and tell them everything that had happened between Michael and me.

Nicholas. who had been a silent observer all this while, immediately stepped in and said, “Anna, what are you doing? The directors are only doing this because they care for the company. We don't want you to quit. We just want an explanation from you.”

Nicholas then gestured for me to take back the employee tag.


I knew he meant well and didn't want me to leave the company. But I just left the tag on the desk as it was.

“I have nothing to say anymore. They would have believed in me if they wanted to. I can explain myself from A to Z, but they would still be suspicious of me. This is because they never had faith in me in the first place.”

Deep in my heart, I knew they would still doubt me even if I told them what I did or said to Michael last night.

Does my explanation still matter? I don't think so. So why should I waste my time and energy defending myself?
Those people kept mum after I blurted out those words. They looked at me as if they were trying to figure out if I had told them the truth.

“Please watch your attitude, Ms. Garcia. We purposely came to the office early this morning for the matter involving you and Michael. We're only doing this because the company thinks highly of you. How could you simply threaten us with your resignation? How irresponsible!”

Another director shot daggers at me as he expressed his dismay.

“Think highly of me? If that's true, all of you wouldn't have suspected my relationship with Michael. How do you expect me to work in peace if I don't gain trust from the people in this company?”

Think highly of me? What a joke! Right now, I could only see suspicious looks on all their faces.

“That's enough, Anna!”

Nicholas could not help but knit his brows. Immediately after, he tried his best to explain to the directors.

“Anna must have encountered a lot of problems lately. Please don't take her attitude to heart. I don't know what her relationship with Michael is, but trust me, she wouldn't do anything that would undermine the company's interests. Don't forget that Anna was the one who helped the company win the recent project!”

To be honest, I had no intentions of leaving the company, but I just couldn't take it when they kept doubting me. Do they think I'd betray the company just because I got into Michael's car?

The board of directors finally calmed down and stopped bombarding me with questions after listening to Nicholas. After all, they still had to respect Nicholas even though they were clearly unhappy with me.

“Mr. Garcia, since Mr. Cadman has given us his assurance, we'll trust you this time. But as the senior management of this company, we hope you could watch your attitude!” One of the directors raised his voice after a long pause.
