My heart lurched at Millie’s suspicious look, and panic struck me. Oh God, what’s the meaning of this? Why is she asking me such a question? Don’t tell me she has learned about my relationship with Michael?

“W-What do you mean? What kind of relationship could I have with Mr. Shaw?”

I regarded her with a flustered expression, my voice tinged with a hint of guilt.

 

“Ah, stop lying to me! Mr. Shaw came to the office yesterday and personally applied for leave on your behalf. Everyone was shocked and wondered about your relationship with him.”

Millie eyed me nosily, her gaze radiating curiosity.

 

“I-I was going to phone Mr. Doyle to apply for leave yesterday, but I somehow rang up Mr. Shaw instead,” I hastily clarified while looking at her sheepishly.

Phew! I thought she has learned about my relationship with Michael, but it seems that all the uproar is just because he helped me to apply for leave.

“Anna, I just feel that your relationship with Mr. Shaw isn’t that simple. Don’t tell me the two of you are actually dating?”

Millie didn’t believe my explanation, her eyes brimming with delight as she said that.

“What nonsense are you spouting, Millie? How could I possibly have anything to do with him? I’m just an ordinary employee. Please stop saying such a thing, for it’ll certainly bring me trouble if others overhear such speculation.”

While she was merely postulating, the panic within me snowballed. D*mn it! Now that she’s starting to suspect my relationship with Michael, it may truly come to light in the future!

“Alright, alright. I was just joking, so why are you so panicked? The more flustered you are, the more people will suspect you!”
