When I heard him utter the words “go home,” my chest tightened painfully. I looked up at him in surprise as conflicting emotions surged in my heart.

 

I was reluctant to get into Michael’s car. The thought of him being with another woman in the past few days left a bitter taste in my mouth, but I was bone-tired right now and had no energy to put up a fight with him.

After sliding into his car, I remained silent in my seat because I truly didn’t know what to talk about.

As the car sped along the road, Michael turned to look at me and asked casually, “Did you miss me?”

“Why do you even care whether or not your lover missed you? Seeing as you were having fun with a beautiful woman the past few days.”

The corners of my mouth arched into a mocking smile as bitterness crept into my heart. Just how greedy is this guy? He already has such an exquisite beauty by his side. Yet, he still wants me to miss him?

Why did he even ask me that? Does he miss me?

Surprisingly, my sarcastic tone didn’t annoy Michael. His mouth curved into a charming smile as he inched closer to me and muttered, “Who told you I was having fun with a beautiful woman? Are you jealous, Anna?”

When his breath tickled my ear, I quickly moved away but maintained calm and expressionless. I really didn’t know what to say to him.

“Why are you avoiding me, Anna? I’ve let you off the hook a few days ago but you’re trying to piss me off again tonight?”

Michael straightened in his seat, the smile vanishing from his face. His gaze burned with barely restrained anger as he stared at me.

Instead of answering his question, I changed the topic. “Did you have fun overseas in the past few days?”

“You think I went overseas to have fun? I went there for work.”
