After marrying my boss (Anna)
Chapter 488

Chapter 488

“Michael, can you stop being so possessive? I already told you that there's nothing going on betweenNicholas and me. How many times do you want me to explain myself?” I let out a helpless sigh.

With regards to my relationship with Nicholas, I had given up trying to explain. No matter how manytimes I did, there was nothing I could do if he just refused to believe me.

“No, I have always been extremely possessive, and you're well aware of it. Anna, I just can't bear tosee you talk to any other man because you are mine and mine alone!”

All this while, I was well aware of how frighteningly possessive Michael could be. It was just that hedemonstrated it more blatantly now.

“I understand. Next time, I'll keep my distance from him so that you won't even get the opportunity tofeel jealous.”

Closing my eyes, I felt a sudden bout of sleepiness strike me. Not wanting to continue the topic anyfurther, I closed my eyes to ignore him.

Satisfied with my answer, Michael stopped putting me in a difficult position. After he hugged me frombehind, I heard steady breathing come from him. In truth, he was already exhausted. It was just that heneeded to vent the anger he felt out of his system.

When the subsequent few days turned out to be quiet, I enjoyed the simplicity of the life I shared withMichael. That was how I wanted to live out the rest of my days with him.

As I didn't want to be a housewife who did nothing at home, I continued to look for a job. Nevertheless,an ordinary job no longer interested me. Furthermore, other than the companies that belonged toMichael or Nicholas, no other company provided benefits as good as theirs.

Over the last few days, I had the feeling that I was being watched, causing me to wonder if it was justmy imagination. Every time I was walking in the street, that niggling feeling would creep up on me.However, whenever I turned around, I would not see anyone there.

Am I overthinking things?

That day, I drove out of the parking lot of an office building. When I arrived at a traffic light junction, Iaccidentally hit a BMW. Luckily, I wasn't traveling fast but was still shaken by the impact.

Given how expensive the car looked, I began to worry as I got out of the car to check.

When what looked like a driver alighted from the vehicle, I figured the passenger inside must besomeone important.“Michael, can you stop being so possessive? I already told you that there's nothing going on betweenNicholas and me. How many times do you want me to explain myself?” I let out a helpless sigh.

When the driver saw me getting out of the car, he berated me with a scowl on his face, “Miss, do youeven know how to drive? Why didn't you bother to look at the lights?”

“I'm sorry. I lost my concentration briefly and didn't see you. Why don't you check the damage on yourcar, and I'll compensate you for it?”

Although the driver was rude, I was still in the wrong for running into his vehicle. Considering that I was

at fault, I had to discuss the matter in a cordial manner.

“Given how bad the damage is, it will cost at least fifty to sixty thousand to fix it. All right then, you'llhave to pay fifty thousand,” the driver casually remarked after checking the damage.

“What? Fifty thousand? Just for a broken light?”

I looked at the driver in shock, not because I couldn't afford it but because it seemed a lot to ask for justfor a tail lamp. Evidently, he was trying to take advantage of me.

“Miss, can you take a good look at what car this is? It costs three million. Therefore, how can a taillamp be considered expensive at fifty thousand?”

When he saw my dumbstruck expression, the driver looked at me with disdain and didn't seeminterested to continue the conversation.

I knitted my brows in response. Even though I could tell that it was an expensive car, I still felt that thetail lamp didn't cost fifty thousand at all.

I didn't like taking advantage of people, but neither do I like the same to be done to me. Hence, Ireplied, “I think what you're asking is too steep. Why don't we just give the insurance company a callinstead.”

Although fifty thousand wasn't a lot of money, I didn't like the driver's attitude and how he was lookingdown on me.

“Miss, can you stop wasting my time? Do you know who is in the car?”

As the driver stared impatiently at me, he was obviously upset that I wanted to call the insurancecompany.

“You left me with no choice, as fifty thousand is too much. Since I can't afford it, I have no other solutionthan to call the insurance company.”

As I wasn't going to pay the fifty thousand and had nothing urgent to do, I decided to drag the matterout.

“Jim, hasn't the matter been resolved?”

Just when the driver wanted to say something, the MPV's window wound down to reveal a middle-agedwoman's face. Despite being in her fifties, she looked as if she was in her thirties due to how well shetook care of her complexion. With her glowing skin, it was obvious that she was someone who camefrom a prominent family.
