After Marrying My Boss

Instead of wasting time arguing with Nicholas, I left the meeting room.

At this point, I was no longer in the mood to work anymore, so I left the office and called Natalie to accompany me to a bar.

Natalie, who was still at work, immediately applied for emergency leave and came over after she learned that I was not in a good mood. That's what close friends are for.

In no time, we arrived at a bar nearby. I didn't usually like coming to this kind of place, but today, I just wanted to have a drink.

As Natalie and I sat by the counter, the deafening music in the bar caused my head to spin. After a few drinks, I started to feel a little dizzy.

“What's wrong with you today, Anna? Did you have a fight with Michael?”

Natalie expressed her concerns when she noticed that I was drowning myself in sorrow.

“Nope.”

“Then why do you look so upset? Is there anything else bothering you besides Michael?” Natalie knitted her brows and gave me a confused look.

With that, I told her everything, including how the directors suspected me and everything else that had happened at the office today.

Natalie, too, couldn't contain her anger upon hearing my story. “What the hell? What's wrong with those people? You worked hard for them, yet they doubted you like this?”

“It's all business. They don't care how much effort we put in to help the company make money.”

I responded with a wry smile. How can I not be disappointed with Nifty Group?

Have they ever thought of the projects I'd secured for the company when I was overseas in the past year? Yet, they questioned me as if I were a criminal.

“They're just a bunch of hypocrites! Anna, you should just leave the company! You're just going to make Michael your enemy if you continue to work for them. I'm sure your relationship with him would improve if you quit the job. Don't you think so?” Natalie inched closer and looked at me in anticipation.
Instead of wasting time arguing with Nicholas, I left the meeting room.

Natalie had always been wanting me to get back with Michael. She could tell that I had not forgotten about the man and was still in love with him.

But I could only respond with a wry smile. I might still have feelings for him, but our relationship would never be the same again.

“Michael and I can only be enemies for life, and nothing's gonna change that. I know what you're thinking, but you should stop wasting your time. There's no future between Michael and me.”

Natalie's intention was clear. I knew she wanted me to reunite with the man I loved, but there was already a barrier between us that was stopping us from getting back together.

“How do you know that? No one knows what the future holds. Perhaps, you might end up being happier with him,” Natalie pouted and disagreed with what I said.

“That's enough. Don't try to complicate the matter for me anymore. And can you please stop mentioning Michael's name? I don't want to hear it.” It annoyed me whenever Natalie brought him up in our conversation.

It was all Michael's fault that I was in this hot soup. If only I could kill him to vent my frustration!

At that thought, I raised another glass of wine and gulped it down. I just wanted to drink my worries away.

“Slow down, Anna. You'll get drunk!” Looking at how tipsy I had become, Natalie instantly grabbed the glass from me.

At that point, I was already drunk as I could feel my head spinning nonstop.

When I was about to snatch the wine glass back from her, my vision turned blurry, and everything around me seemed to be shaking.

Suddenly, two young men walked in our direction and stood before us. “Hey, what's up. Can we buy you two beauties a drink?”

One of them kept ogling us, and they couldn't keep their eyes away from our breasts.

I knitted my brows as my frustration kicked in. What do these young boys think they're doing?
