Love from My Dominant Boss

Without saying another word, I hung up the call in a panic.

As I clutched my phone tightly, the tears in my eyes finally trickled down my cheeks. In the past two days, I had even considered confessing my feelings to Michael so that we could be together.

But these were merely wishful thinking because I knew that he would never be with me due to the vast difference in our statuses.

I sat on the toilet bowl and cried for a long time before coming out. After splashing water onto my face, I stared at myself in the mirror. There was anger in my red-rimmed eyes. I was mad at myself for being so pathetic.

He was unworthy of my love, but I couldn’t control my feelings. I thought I’d never fall in love again after Justin’s betrayal. However, the fact that Michael was with another woman upset me. The feelings were more intense than when I caught Justin and Mabel in bed.

I’ve fallen in love with you, Michael. What should I do?

As I was constantly distracted, I failed to complete the tasks assigned to me by our supervisor, Harry. As a result, I was reprimanded for two days straight.

Since joining Joyful Success a few months ago, I submitted quality work every single time. But these two days, I was always absent-minded at work, so much so that Harry was slightly disappointed in me.

I was called into his office again that day.

In his office, I spoke first. “Mr. Doyle, you wanted to see me?”

Harry looked at me intently, but the next second, he threw a document file in front of my feet and barked angrily, “Is this how you do your work, Anna? I put you in charge of writing the quarterly report, but look at what you wrote. It’s full of mistakes!”

I bowed my head in response to his admonishment, then repeatedly apologized, “I’m sorry, Mr. Doyle. I’ll redo it immediately.”

Bending down, I picked up the file and turned to leave.

However, Harry wasn’t going to let me leave just yet. “Hold up!” he called out and walked toward me, looking disappointed.
