After marrying my boss (Anna)
Chapter 555

Chapter 555

Once again, Leanne's despondent voice came from the other end of the phone. Anyone who had heardher voice and looked at her teary puppy eyes would have sympathized with her.

Upon hearing that, Michael went silent for a moment. While he was thinking of what to reply, I snatchedthe phone and said, “You seem to have forgotten what you'd said today, Ms. Ryheim. I don't think it'sappropriate for you to make up that excuse to get my man's attention.”

I knew I was being sarcastic, but I couldn't help it. My heart was filled with indescribable angerwhenever I thought of how Leanne tried to seduce Michael.

Upon hearing my voice, Leanne paused for a few seconds. She then panicked and tried to explain tome. “Oh, no, no. no. It's all just a misunderstanding, Mrs. Shaw. I can't go to the hospital myselfbecause of a gastric problem. That's why I called Michael to get his help.”

“If you don't feel well and need to go to the hospital, why don't you call the ambulance? Stop wastingyour time on Michael, Ms. Ryheim. He'll not go and replace you!” I said icily and ended the call right away.

What a waste of my time!

Frustration kicked in, and I tossed the phone at Michael. Have you no shame, Leanne Ryheim? I'dmade my warning loud and clear, yet you still have the guts to disturb Michael? Can you be moreannoying than this?

Michael, who had been silently observing me, looked in my direction with a deadpan expression.

“Why are you staring at me? Are you mad that I snatched your phone? You're blaming me for turning

Leanne away on your behalf, huh?” I looked at the man and questioned him in an icy voice.

“Since when did you become so hot-headed, Anna Garcia? You had never lost your temper like this inthe past. Besides, I didn't even do anything.” Michael expressed his dismay while looking at me inannoyance.

“Yes. You didn't do anything, but obviously, that woman wanted to do a lot of things with you. Can't youfeel it? Why does she feel sick all the time? And why does she have to call you when she'suncomfortable? You're not even a doctor! She should be calling the ambulance instead!” I snortedloudly and vented my frustration at Michael.Once again, Leanne's despondent voice came from the other end of the phone. Anyone who had heardher voice and looked at her teary puppy eyes would have sympathized with her.Onca again, Laanna's daspondant voica cama from tha othar and of tha phona.

And why doas sha hava to call you whan sha'suncomfortabla? You'ra not avan a doctor! Sha should ba calling tha ambulanca instaad!” I snortadloudly and vantad my frustration at Michaal.

How can I remain calm when another woman is eyeing my man? I don't think any woman with a soundmind could deal with the situation without losing her temper!

“I never knew you cared so much about me. I guess I should be thankful that Leanne appeared. What a

blessing in disguise!” Michael chuckled upon hearing all the angry remarks I spewed at him.

“A blessing in disguise? It looks like someone enjoys being around Leanne, huh?”

I couldn't believe Michael actually said that when I was about to burst from rage. Is he trying to get onmy nerves?

“Well, I wouldn't know how much you cared for me if Leanne didn't come between us. You're afraid thatanother woman might take me away, aren't you? I used to worry that you might leave with anotherman, but look how the tables have turned. To be frank, I kinda enjoy this feeling!” Michael couldn't stopgrinning.

I knew he was trying to show that he cared about me, but the way he phrased it had somehow mademe even more agitated.

Shouldn't he be comforting me? Shouldn't he be explaining the situation to me that there's nothingbetween him and Leanne? I can't believe he's having fun watching me getting jealous!

“Go to sleep!” I went back to bed as I didn't want to continue the topic with him anymore.

It was supposed to be a pleasant night, but Leanne's call had put a damper on it. I'm utterly sick of thatwoman!

I didn't say anything after I had lain in bed. Michael, too, kept mum for a moment. After turning off thetable lamp, he embraced me from the back and rested his chin on my shoulder.

“Don't worry, Anna. You're the only woman in my life. I'll not do anything that will rock our relationship.”

Michael sounded serious when he whispered these words in my ear.

Upon hearing what he said, my heart instantly skipped a beat. I knew Michael had always treated mewell, but I couldn't help but vent my frustration on him. I wasn't exactly mad at him. I was angry atLeanne, who tried all kinds of ways to seduce him.

I didn't respond to what he said, but I was relieved to hear his reassurance.

The next day when I woke up, Michael was nowhere to be seen. I knitted my brows and got allsuspicious. Where is he? Has he gone to visit Leanne?

When I was about to take out my phone and give him a call, my phone rang.

I answered the call and heard Michael's voice coming from the other end.

“My secretary called this morning and told me that I need to sign a document as quickly as possible.That's why I left home early to come to the office. I'm calling you to tell you this so that you wouldn'tthink I'm with Leanne.” Michael immediately reported his whereabouts.

I nearly burst into laughter upon hearing that but tried to stay composed.

That man knew exactly what was on my mind. It was unbelievable.

“Since when did I suspect you? I didn't even question you, did I?” I asked defensively, as I didn't wantto admit what I had in mind.

He doesn't need to know how petty and suspicious I am since now I know he's not with that woman.

“Yes. You didn't question me openly, but I'm sure suspicion did flash across your mind, right?” Michaelrefuted in a steady voice, even though he couldn't see the expression on my face.

I couldn't help but respond with a sigh. No one in this world knows me better than Michael.

“Okay, okay. Don't you have work to do? I'll leave you alone now. I'm gonna clean up and head to theoffice soon.”

The one-week break had ended, and it was time for me to get back to work. Me taking a week off afterstarting working in a new company would have left a negative impression on the bosses. If I'm still latefor work today, they might fire me regardless of how capable I am.

I arrived at the office and was overwhelmed by the workload that had piled up over the week. I got sobusy that I gradually forgot about Leanne.
