Love from My Dominant Boss

Chapter 555 Call The Ambulance Instead

Once again, Leanne’s despondent voice came from the other end of the phone. Anyone who had heard her 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 snatched the phone and said, “You seem to have forgotten what you’d said today, Ms. Ryheim. I don’t think it’s appropriate 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 anger whenever 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 to me. “Oh, no, no. no. It’s all just a misunderstanding, Mrs. Shaw. I can’t go to the hospital myself because 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 wasting your time on Michael, Ms. Ryheim. He’ll not go and find 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’d made my warning loud and clear, yet you still have the guts to disturb Michael? Can you be more annoying 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 in the past. Besides, I didn’t even do anything.” Michael expressed his dismay while looking at me in annoyance.

“Yes. You didn’t do anything, but obviously, that woman wanted to do a lot of things with you. Can’t you feel it? Why does she feel sick all the time? And why does she have to call you when she’s uncomfortable? You’re not even a doctor! She should be calling the ambulance instead!” I snorted loudly and vented my frustration at Michael.

How can I remain calm when another woman is eyeing my man? I don’t think any woman with a sound mind 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 on my nerves?

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

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

Shouldn’t he be comforting me? Shouldn’t he be explaining the situation to me that there’s nothing between 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. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

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

I didn’t say anything after I had lain in bed. Michael, too, kept mum for a moment. After turning off the table 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 me well, but I couldn’t help but vent my frustration on him. I wasn’t exactly mad at him. I was angry at Leanne, 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 all suspicious. 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’t think 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 want to 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?” Michael refuted 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 the office soon.”

The one-week break had ended, and it was time for me to get back to work. Me taking a week off after starting working in a new company would have left a negative impression on the bosses. If I’m still late for 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 so busy that I gradually forgot about Leanne.
