The sharp pain from my butt made me frown in agony. My mom was harsh when she pushed me earlier, and it was obvious that she never worried about whether I’d get hurt.

Michael had a blank expression the entire time, but his gaze turned grim instantly when he saw my mom pushing me like that.

“That’s enough!” growled Michael. His eyes burned with anger when he turned to my mom.

 

My mom was a senior who had seen more than what a typical youngster like us would’ve seen. However, Michael’s cruel tone still managed to get her to tremble. Her eyes shone with anxiety when she turned around to face Michael.

“I’m so sorry about this, Mr. Shaw. This is so embarrassing.”

 

My mom was great at reading expressions, and seeing how angry Michael was prompted her to ignore me. She turned around and smiled at Michael.

“Please settle your family drama at home, and stop making a scene in my company!”

Michael glared over at my mom and spat those words evilly before he turned around. Once more, he left.

My butt was still stinging a little when I got up. I was devastated about how my mom pushed me earlier, but I was also angry.

“Mr. Shaw, wait. Do you think you can do as I asked earlier?”

My mom wasn’t going to let Michael go because he hadn’t given her the money.

Michael stopped short. He turned to my mom once more, and his eyes shone with distaste when he pointed out, “Anna must be the one to consent to the deduction of her future salary. Your words mean nothing!”

After saying his piece, Michael got into the car and closed the door. He never gave my mom a chance to say anything else. He simply fired up the car and left right away.

I felt ashamed when I saw Michael driving away like that. He already knew all about how my family was, but I still felt embarrassed when he saw how my mom treated me.

“Hear that? He said that you must be the one to make the decision. You are to ask for a loan off of your salary tomorrow. Your brother’s accommodation issue must be settled!”
