Love from My Dominant Boss

Chapter 523 Getting In My Way Of Picking Up Girls

When I heard Ronan’s cocky voice on the line, I could detect his regret over the words he had blurted to me in the hospital previously. Consequently, he was now embarrassed by it.

“I can’t be at the hospital because I’m tied down with something. Janette is having some trouble,” I simply explained, not wanting the awkwardness between us to worsen.

“What happened to her?” Ronan’s curious voice rang out at the mention of Janette’s name. “I’m not at liberty to say, but it certainly isn’t something good.”

I didn’t tell him about the rape, for I was cognizant that the lesser people who knew about it, the better. “Sheesh, despite being friends for such a long time, you actually refuse to tell me. You know, I couldn’t be any more disappointed.”

Much to his dismay, Ronan didn’t expect me to refrain from telling him about it.

“It’s just inappropriate as it relates to a lady’s reputation. Besides, it’s not like you’re interested in her, so why are you being such a busybody? Unless, of course, you intend to pursue her?”

Worried that Ronan would press on with his questions, I quickly changed the topic. Upon hearing my accusation, Ronan anxiously denied it. “Of course not. I’m sure you’re well aware that I only have feelings for you. Moreover, why would I fall for such a rude brat like Janette?”

His words rendered me speechless. Even though I’ve long known of his feelings for me, I had been avoiding the matter ever since. Consequently, I was caught off guard by his sudden confession. At that moment, the atmosphere began to grow awkward.

“Ronan, you know full well that it’s impossible between us. So, don’t ever bring this up again.”

After a momentary silence, I admonished him sternly, for he had always been one to speak without any discretion.

In the past, I would only feel awkward and not be angered at all. But now that I was considered the wife of his cousin, it was no longer appropriate for him to make such suggestive comments.
