Love from My Dominant Boss

At that moment, my heart pounded wildly. I was naturally aware of Yuval’s intentions, and I should be happy upon hearing his declaration of sorts. Yet, for some reason, I didn’t feel happy at all.

“I know. And thank you for choosing to believe in me.”

He was a smart man, so I was certain that he would definitely be able to surmise that my relationship with Michael wasn’t as simple as that of a superior and subordinate when I had said as much.

Nonetheless, he was very considerate of me and said nary a word despite having surmised it. If it were any other man, it would likely have been a source of contention.

Subsequently, I turned to gaze out the window at the scenery outside. My heart and mind were presently flooded with images and thoughts of Michael. When we had an illicit relationship, I was determined to avoid him. But now that we were truly nothing to each other anymore, I felt empty, as though I had lost something important.

After having dinner with Yuval, he proposed going shopping. However, I was in low spirits just after ending things with Michael today, so I declined.

Since things had ended between me and Michael, I didn’t go back to Birchwood. After all, I naturally couldn’t continue staying in his house now that we no longer had anything to do with each other. Instead, I went to Natalie’s house.

Yuval brought the car to a stop in front of Natalie’s community gate, and I opened the car door to alight from the car.

“Wait a moment, Anna…”

I had opened the door, but before I climbed out of the car, Yuval’s voice drifted over.
