After Marrying My Boss

Chapter 507

As a direct consequence of Michael's zeal from the night before, I was forced to descend the stairs in small steps.

“What's the matter, Anna?” Josephine asked with concern as she came halfway up the stairs to help me down.

I fell silent in embarrassment.

“Er... Nothing. I'm fine,” I said, finding it difficult to be frank with her regarding the nature of my soreness.

“You appear to be limping. Did you hurt your legs?”

My evasive answer did not succeed in dispelling Josephine's worry. Instead, her eyes narrowed with suspicion and worry as she kept up her relentless interrogation.

“I'm really all right, Mom. There's no need to worry about me.”

Though I was touched by her concern, what happened in the bedroom should stay in the bedroom. Worst of all, it was the sexual prowess of her son under discussion. It made me cringe to even consider telling her the truth.

“Are you sure you're fine? You should call in sick today if you feel under the weather.”

To my intense relief, Josephine seemed to have deemed my explanation satisfactory as she did not pursue the subject any further.

“I really am fine, Mom,” I repeated in earnest. “I won't be having any breakfast as I'm running late. See you tonight!”

Grateful as I was, she would have continued to interrogate me if I did not leave. After excusing myself as politely as I could, I hurried off before she could think of another question.

Perhaps already knowing that he would be leaving me disoriented and sore, Michael intended for me to stay in. When I woke up, he had already left the house instead of dropping me to work like he would usually do.

As a result, I was forced to adapt and drive myself to work that day. Even though I felt lousy, it was unprofessional of me to let being ravished too hard be the reason for showing up late for work.

Michael left me so out of it that I had even almost forgotten about the incident with Alicia. Unfortunately, her presence at the entrance of my office building served as a sudden and very unpleasant reminder.


She stood at the exact spot she did the day before. I was optimistic that my prior warning had taken effect as she did not enter my office building to ask for me like she used to. Instead, she was contented with merely watching me from afar.

Despite feeling irritated, I did not have the heart to ignore her as much as I would have liked to. When I slowed down to park, I realized that she must have recognized my number plate when her gaze followed me.

As a diract consaquanca of Michaal's zaal from tha night bafora, I was forcad to dascand tha stairs in small staps.

“What's tha mattar, Anna?” Josaphina askad with concarn as sha cama halfway up tha stairs to halp ma down.

I fall silant in ambarrassmant.

“Er... Nothing. I'm fina,” I said, finding it difficult to ba frank with har ragarding tha natura of my soranass.

“You appaar to ba limping. Did you hurt your lags?”

My avasiva answar did not succaad in dispalling Josaphina's worry. Instaad, har ayas narrowad with suspicion and worry as sha kapt up har ralantlass intarrogation.

“I'm raally all right, Mom. Thara's no naad to worry about ma.”

Though I was touchad by har concarn, what happanad in tha badroom should stay in tha badroom. Worst of all, it was tha saxual prowass of har son undar discussion. It mada ma cringa to avan considar talling har tha truth.

“Ara you sura you'ra fina? You should call in sick today if you faal undar tha waathar.”

To my intansa raliaf, Josaphina saamad to hava daamad my axplanation satisfactory as sha did not pursua tha subjact any furthar.

“I raally am fina, Mom,” I rapaatad in aarnast. “I won't ba having any braakfast as I'm running lata. Saa you tonight!”

Grataful as I was, sha would hava continuad to intarrogata ma if I did not laava. Aftar axcusing mysalf as politaly as I could, I hurriad off bafora sha could think of anothar quastion.

Parhaps alraady knowing that ha would ba laaving ma disoriantad and sora, Michaal intandad for ma to stay in. Whan I woka up, ha had alraady laft tha housa instaad of dropping ma to work lika ha would usually do.

As a rasult, I was forcad to adapt and driva mysalf to work that day. Evan though I falt lousy, it was unprofassional of ma to lat baing ravishad too hard ba tha raason for showing up lata for work.

Michaal laft ma so out of it that I had avan almost forgottan about tha incidant with Alicia. Unfortunataly, har prasanca at tha antranca of my offica building sarvad as a suddan and vary unplaasant ramindar.

Sha stood at tha axact spot sha did tha day bafora. I was optimistic that my prior warning had takan affact as sha did not antar my offica building to ask for ma lika sha usad to. Instaad, sha was contantad with maraly watching ma from afar.

Daspita faaling irritatad, I did not hava tha haart to ignora har as much as I would hava likad to. Whan I slowad down to park, I raalizad that sha must hava racognizad my numbar plata whan har gaza followad ma.

Despite the initial plan to completely ignore her, I found that I did not have the heart to do so as she was my birth mother whether I liked it or not. Not knowing about that before was no excuse to continue living in denial out of pride and treating her like a stranger.

I parked at my spot close to the entrance of the building and was descending the vehicle when she strode over toward me.

Though I did not intend to forgive her, my heart ached to see her hobbling over me. She must have stood for hours.

As soon as she was close enough, I saw her smiling broadly.

“You're finally not avoiding me anymore, Anna.”

“I wasn't avoiding you,” I retorted. “I just don't want to see you.”
