Love from My Dominant Boss

On the other hand, I stared at him calmly. He was still glaring at me, demanding an answer, but I didn’t say a word to him. Since I knew I would crumble if I stayed there any longer, I wanted to get out of bed.

“Explain yourself, Anna.” He grabbed my hand. It was a surprise that he was holding himself back instead of yelling at me right away.

“Don’t think too much about it. I need to get out of bed now.” I stared at him calmly. There was no point telling him how I really felt since he only liked me as a f*ck buddy.

“Today’s a Saturday!” He gritted his teeth, and his patience was already running thin.

Sh*t. I totally forgot that it was a weekend, so I didn’t have to go to work, but still, I didn’t want to see him. “I need to see Steven.” I blurted out.

Then I changed into a new set of clothes. I had to leave no matter what, and Michael didn’t stop me. However, he was still glaring at me coldly. I could feel his fury boiling, but I didn’t have the time to care.

Once I left Birchwood, I felt like a heavy weight had been lifted off my shoulders. Taking in a deep breath, I calmed myself down and tried to come up with a plan for the day.

But nothing came to mind. If I went to see Steven, mom would just mock me again, but I couldn’t go back to Michael’s place either. So I just stood there blankly, until my phone started ringing.

I wondered who was calling me, so I whipped my phone out. Ronan? I was slightly annoyed, but I took the call anyway. “Hello.” My voice was cracking up from all the crying.

“What’s up?” Ronan sounded excited.
