Love from My Dominant Boss

Chapter 31

After being busted for pretending to run into him, I pursed my lips in embarrassment. Picking up his phone, I saved my number in his contact list in double-quick time.

“I’ll get someone to send your dad to the best hospital in Avenport tomorrow for his surgery. Don’t worry about it.”

Just as I started feeling disappointed in him, his words made my heart leap. The distaste for him within me was replaced by gratitude. Now I know that Michael’s actually a compassionate man. He isn’t as heartless as he appears to be.

“Thank you…”

Looking down, I mumbled with my hands interlaced.

Although the man had made an outrageous request, he gave me the two hundred thousand to save my father. That was why I didn’t blame or hold a grudge. After all, there was no such thing as a free lunch.

Soon, the car pulled over at Natalie’s place. Breathing a sigh of relief, I opened the door to get out of the car. Just then, he grabbed my wrist.

“Remember to show up whenever I call you. Don’t look for me if there’s nothing important.”

His aloof voice sounded like a command, and his high-handed attitude made me feel uneasy, but I remained silent.

“Sure, I’ll bear that in mind. Don’t worry; I won’t cause you any trouble.”

I’m not a fool. I can easily read between the lines and grasp the implicit meaning of his words. In his eyes, I’m nothing more than his secret lover. If this matter ever gets out, his reputation will be in tatters. Is everyone from the upper echelons of society so hypocritical? That doesn’t surprise me, though. In fact, I’m glad he said this. I don’t want anyone to know about our scandalous relationship either.

After Michael’s car drove away, I heaved a long sigh of relief before heading upstairs. Though there were some hiccups in the process of getting the two hundred thousand, a sense of delight welled up in my heart.
