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.

He had always been distrustful of me and never once did accept my explanations. How could I have a relationship with any other man when he was the only one who consumed my entire being?

He never understood my feelings and probably did not care even if he did.

We returned to the private room where Ronan was fiddling with his phone, one after the other. Seeing how we came back in at almost the same time had him appearing a little quizzical before he broke into a smile once more.

“What took you both so long? Don’t tell me that you’ve taken a fancy to Anna?” The cynical Ronan teased.

“Would you give her up if I did?” Michael asked, seemingly in earnest.

Ronan’s eyes widened, and his expression stiffened in some incredulity. Even I trembled inside as neither of us anticipated that particular response.

“Just kidding. As you may know, we don’t share the same taste,” the atmosphere turned awkward before Michael diffused it with a chuckle.

“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.
