Love from My Dominant Boss

Chapter 291

Chapter 291 A Loaded Apology

Michael stared at me, frowning at my somber mood. He asked gently, “What’s wrong? Why are you suddenly upset?”

He stared at me in concern. Faced with his piercing gaze, I found myself at a loss for words.

I hesitated about recounting my confrontation with Josephine to Michael. I had no idea how he would react and I did not wish to add to his worries.

“Nothing’s wrong. The weather’s been so hot lately that it’s making me uncomfortable. I’ll be right as rain after some rest.” I forced a smile on my face and immediately evaded his eye contact.

He saw straight through my weak excuse and asked seriously, “Do you think I would fall for that? Anna, don’t lie to me. What happened?”

“I-I… Mrs. Shaw approached me today.”

I eventually succumbed to his request after some hesitation. Honesty is the best policy. I did not want to keep things from him and cause a rift between us in the future.

Michael’s expression hardened as I told him what had happened. When I finished recounting my experience, he looked downright hostile.

His anger was palpable, yet my insecurities flared their ugly heads as I wondered if he was furious at his mother for driving a wedge through our relationship or if he was annoyed that I was being a tattletale.

My anxiety peaked at Michael’s prolonged silence, and I immediately offered an apology. “I’m sorry, I-”
