Love from My Dominant Boss

“So what? Plenty of women date men who are younger than them, and it’s great having an older wife.” Ronan didn’t think that our age gap was a problem, contrary to me. He didn’t mind it, and he even made a case for it.

I could see the resolve in his eyes, and whenever Ronan was serious, he was a different person entirely. Damn, he just made it three times harder for me to say no.

“I told you it’s impossible, Ronan. You’re just like a brother to me, and I have someone I like, so I will never say yes,” I stared him in the eye, refusing adamantly.

Ronan froze up when I told him I had someone I liked. Then, much to my disbelief, I saw a hint of sorrow in his eyes. If I hadn’t seen that, I would have thought he was joking with me.

Ronan had always been the goofy kid, but the sadness in his eyes made me waver. Did he really fall for me? But we’ve only hung out a couple of times. We don’t really know each other well. It’s insane that he’d fall for me so easily.

“But you can never date the guy you like, right? So I’ll make you forget all about him. I wouldn’t have confessed today if you hadn’t told me about that. I’ll make you happy, Anna. I swear,” he said solemnly. It was the first time he was acting so serious, and it had to be during a confession.

I was both happy and troubled. It was great that he didn’t see me as a frivolous woman, but on the other hand, if he was persistent about this, I might end up losing a friend.

“Ronan, I told you I only see you as a friend. If you’re still not giving up, then I think it’s best that we never meet again.” I didn’t want to hurt him, but I had no choice. I could never see a future where I was dating him, so I had to make sure that he would give up on me.
