After returning home, I felt extremely uneasy. All I could think about was the scene of Michael being together with that woman.

 

Aside from feeling restless, I was terrified too.

 

I remained seated in the living room until midnight, but Michael did not return for the entire night. Could it be that he’s with that woman?

I felt an unprecedented sense of panic. In fact, I was even more flustered than when I caught Justin and Mabel sleeping together. It was at that moment that I realized I had fallen in love with Michael.

In the morning, I stared at my reflection in the mirror. Filled with self-contempt, I smirked mockingly when I saw the dark circles under my eyes.

Anna, you think too highly of yourself. To Michael, you’re nothing but a lover who cannot be known to the public. What right do you have to feel sad?

I did not like being in such a state, and I hated the feeling of being unable to control my feelings even more. Despite knowing that I would be hurt if I fell in love with Michael, I just could not control my heart at all.

I did not even eat breakfast. When I arrived at the office, the CEO’s office was still closed. Usually, Michael would have already reached the office by now, but he was still nowhere to be seen. Could it be that he’s still sleeping?

Sitting at my desk, I kept staring at Michael’s office. I had no motivation to work at all.

Long after office hours had started, Michael finally appeared. His hair was slightly disheveled and he looked exhausted.

Despite knowing him for so long, I had never seen him so haggard. I could not help but wonder if he was too tired from sleeping with another woman the previous night.

My thoughts were not usually so vulgar, but I couldn’t help but think of that. These possibilities were precisely those that I was terrified of.

Michael did not leave the office after that. When he walked past me in the morning, he did not even spare me another glance. I started to suspect if our relationship was going to end soon.
