Love from My Dominant Boss

Just when I was fidgeting on the couch, entertaining the idea of sneaking away, the sound of the bedroom door opening disrupted my train of thought. My heart skipped a beat and I immediately looked in the direction of the bedroom. Sure enough, Michael’s figure appeared in my line of sight.

He was wearing a robe with a few locks of hair messily framing his forehead, giving off a lazy vibe.

When he saw me sitting on the couch, surprise flickered in his eyes. But the next second, he strode toward the kitchen as though he hadn’t seen me.

After grabbing a bottle of water from the refrigerator, he stopped not far from me.

Then, he took a sip of water before speaking in a raspy voice. “What are you doing up in the middle of the night? Playing ghost to scare me?”

“Excuse me. Have you seen such a pretty ghost before?”

What is wrong with him? Why is he talking about ghosts at this hour? Besides, which part of me looks like a ghost?

“Pretty? Do you think the word ‘pretty’ matches the way you look right now?”

Michael snorted with disdain upon hearing my retort.

Already in a bad mood, Michael’s jab at me only served to grate on my nerves. What’s his problem? Did he force me to stay here just to insult me?

I glared at Michael and wanted to talk back, but when I thought about the way I looked at the moment, I found myself bereft of speech. I know the word ‘pretty’ doesn’t match the way I look right now, but can’t he act more like a gentleman and refrain from insulting me like that?

“If you’re done, you should go back to your room and rest. I’m going to get some rest too.”

Michael, I lay back down on the couch and ignored him since it didn’t seem like he had anything nice to say to me
