Love from My Dominant Boss

“Casual acquaintances? I’ve never seen that guy getting serious with any woman before,” Michael snorted and would not even listen.

“You can take it however you like, but we should get back before your cousin gets suspicious of us.”

There was little else I could say to convince him of my innocence, but I was not in the opinion that I am in need of vindication.

Michael was brooding and looked as though he had something else to say, but I had already stepped around him and made my exit.

“You nearly had me there for a moment, but honestly, I wouldn’t fight with you over her if it were true, though.”

Ronan relaxed and recovered the smile on his face when he realized that Michael was only pulling his leg.
