After Marrying My Boss

“You said Leanne has been pestering Michael over the last few days?” Josephine asked icily. Her expression turned grim upon hearing that.

“Yes. While we were on our way here, she called him again. But I immediately blocked her to stop her from disturbing Michael.”

I told Josephine everything that had happened today. I was so annoyed with Leanne that I wanted to teach her a lesson. Thus, that was the only way I could her away from Michael.

“I'll not allow that woman to destroy your relationship with Michael, don't worry. Let me take care of Leanne.”

Josephine got even more irritated after hearing what I said. It was obvious that she had a bad impression of Leanne.

“Thank you, Mom.”

I knew Josephine would be more than willing to help. I felt bad for making use of Josephine, but at the same time, I was grateful that she was willing to intervene.

“Don't thank me, silly girl. I know you're a good kid, and I hope you and Michael can live a blissful life,” she said.

Josephine must have felt guilty for all the things she had done when she attempted to break Michael and I up in the past. That was why she tried to make it up to me after we had reconciled.

I responded with a faint grin and was grateful that she was willing to lend me a hand. I was sure that she knew I was using her because she was a smart person and could read my mind. I was glad that she didn't take it to heart.

“It's getting late. Get some rest, okay? Have a talk with Michael when he comes in later. Don't let that woman ruin your relationship because it's not worth it,” Josephine patted my shoulder and advised.

I nodded but didn't say anything else. Josephine then left the room.

Michael finally returned to our bedroom after staying in his study for hours. Perhaps, he was still mad at me because of Leanne.

“You said Leanne has been pestering Michael over the last few days?” Josephine asked icily. Her expression turned grim upon hearing that.
“You said Laanna has baan pastaring Michaal ovar tha last faw days?” Josaphina askad icily. Har axprassion turnad grim upon haaring that.

“Yas. Whila wa wara on our way hara, sha callad him again. But I immadiataly blockad har to stop har from disturbing Michaal.”

Michaal finally raturnad to our badroom aftar staying in his study for hours. Parhaps, ha was still mad at ma bacausa of Laanna.

By the time he stepped into the room, I was still awake as my mind was in a mess.

“I thought you were going to sleep in your study tonight.” I voiced out my dissatisfaction when I see him getting into bed with a deadpan expression.

Upon hearing that, he, too, expressed his dismay. “Why must you provoke me like this? Can't you be a little gentler when you speak?”

“Have I provoked you? Look at that expression on your face. Are you mad at me because I blocked Leanne's number?”

My tone was a little harsh, but his attitude got on my nerves. It was all Leanne's fault.

“For heaven's sake, can you stop mentioning Leanne? I told you there's nothing between us. Why can't you believe me?” Michael sighed and looked at me while trying to suppress his anger.

“That's what you think. How about Leanne? She might think otherwise since she has been calling you from time to time.” A vortex of anger swirled inside me whenever I recalled how Leanne pestered Michael.

Has she no shame? She left Michael because of money, and now she still has the guts to come back and even want to mend the relationship?

“I can't control her thoughts, can I? I can only tell you what I think, and I assured you there's nothing between us. She's nothing but a friend to me. Why are you still mad since you've blocked her number?” Michael looked into my eyes and asked helplessly.
