“What’s with the attitude? I was already being very polite to you. All of this is your fault. If it weren’t for you, things would never have turned out this way!”
Michael’s voice had stoked the flames in me, and I couldn’t stop myself from venting all my anger on him.
If he hadn’t stopped me from leaving the previous night, Natalie would never have been with John, and things wouldn’t have escalated to this point.
To be frank, I had never gotten this angry at Michael before. After saying my piece, the line went silent for a long time. When he spoke again, his voice had grown icier.
“You must’ve lost your mind. Do you know who you’re talking to, Anna?”
Just from hearing his voice, I could picture the grim expression on his face.
“I’m not in the mood to talk to you right now. I have more important stuff to do, or I might end up sleeping on the streets tonight!”
Even though I was in a very bad mood and was in dire need of a punching bag, the most important to do right then was to find a place to stay for the night. After all, I really didn’t want to sleep on the streets.
I wanted to hang up the call right after that, but Michael’s voice sounded again from the other end of the line.
