Love from My Dominant Boss - Season 2 Episode 90

With the file in my hand, I walked into Michael’s office. When I entered his office, I saw that the pretty manager’s hand was resting on Michael’s shoulder, and they seemed to be very close to each other.

I felt a little uncomfortable at the sight of this. It seemed to me that Michael would take on any woman who came on to him. The last time when we were in the meeting room, he did not hesitate to decline this pretty manager’s advances. Did he fall for her charms today?

“This is the advertising proposal for Benyx Group, Mr. Shaw,” I said flatly as I placed the design draft in front of him.

“Ms. Light, please take a look at this and let us know your thoughts.”

Michael glanced at me before he picked up the file and passed it to the pretty manager. Then, he discreetly brushed her hand off him.

“There’s no need for me to look at it. I have full faith in Joyful Success.”

She took the file without even glancing at it and placed it back on the table again. Then she moved closer to Michael and pouted her full red lips.

I couldn’t bear seeing her getting so close to Michael. I was rather upset, but there was nothing that I could do about it. Anyway, I had no right to be upset because Michael and I were not in a relationship.

Michael appeared to be calm. Perhaps he had encountered this kind of scenario far too many times.

“Very well then, I won’t keep you any longer, Ms. Light. I have other important matters to attend to.”

Just like before, he asked her to leave.

“You’ve turned down my invitation to dinner the last time, Mr. Shaw. I doubt you will turn me down this time if I were to ask you out for dinner again. After all, a gentleman doesn’t decline a woman’s offer twice in a row.”

It was obvious that she had yet to give up on Michael.

I cast Michael a nervous glance and was hoping that he would reject her. However, his answer this time around disappointed me.

“How can I let a beautiful woman pay for dinner? Dinner is on me tonight,” Michael said with a faint smile as he looked at her.

As soon as he said that, my heart sank. He actually agreed to go for dinner with her. Can’t he tell that she’s coming on to him? Isn’t it inappropriate for him to have dinner with another woman when he already has a girlfriend?

And even if he’s single, he’s got to think about me. Although we’re not officially in a relationship, he has to take my feelings into consideration.

“Okay then. I’ll send you the address of the restaurant shortly. Don’t be late, Mr. Shaw.”

She was pleasantly surprised for a second before she beamed at him. She probably did not expect Michael to agree so quickly.

“Don’t worry. I won’t be late, Ms. Light. I’ll get back to my work now.”

After Michael said that, he picked up the file and looked at it. Evidently, he was telling her that it was time for her to leave.

“In that case, I won’t bother you any further. I’ll see you tonight.”

She didn’t seem to mind that she was being asked to leave as she was still on cloud nine after he agreed to have dinner with her.

She flashed him a smile and walked out of Michael’s office as her high heels clicked across the floor.

Michael and I were the only ones left in his office. I glared at him and wanted to vent out my frustration, but I was at a loss for words.

He’s gone too far. How could he agree to have dinner with that woman?

Sensing that I was still standing there, he lifted his head and stared at me with a deep frown marring his face. “Why are you still here? Don’t you have work to do?”

“Are you really going to have dinner with Ms. Light tonight?” I asked sullenly as I looked into his eyes.

“Is there a problem?”

Michael raised his eyebrows and gave me a puzzled look.

“Isn’t it inappropriate for you to have dinner with another woman when you already have a girlfriend? Moreover, you have me…”

I trailed off. I was afraid that Michael could hear it in my voice, then he would be able to tell that I had fallen for him.

“Are you jealous, Anna?”

Michael sneered at me and his face cracked into a smile.

“No, I’m not. I just think that you shouldn’t go,” I lowered my head and answered reluctantly.

Yes, I’m jealous. I don’t want him to get too close to another woman. I was upset, but I couldn’t say what was on my mind.

I had no idea why Michael was treating me this way. What if I said what was on my mind? That would anger him for sure.

“Ms. Light is my client. It’s just social dinner.”

Michael didn’t change his mind. He had his heart set on going for dinner with Ms. Light.

“I think she likes you, and dinner is just a way for her to get closer to you.”

A woman’s intuition is always right. I could tell by the way Ms. Light looked at Michael. She definitely had the intention to develop a relationship with Michael.

I believed a smart man like Michael would be able to see that. Still, he did not decline her offer for a dinner date. Does it mean that he’s into developing a relationship with her too?

“That’s enough. This is my personal affair. Get back to your work.”

Seeing how I reacted, Michael grew impatient and ordered me out of his office. He stopped talking and ignored me by burying himself in work.

I knew it was not my place to say those things to Michael, but I was rather hurt when he said it was his personal affair.

In fact, I was berating myself. I knew that Michael’s actions had nothing to do with me, but I still felt uncomfortable to see another woman getting close to him.

I turned around to leave his office and returned to my seat. I couldn’t concentrate on my work when my mind was on Michael’s dinner date with another woman.

What if they drink too much and have sex afterward?

The more I thought about it, the more upset I became. It seemed like he would take any woman into his arms as long as she came on to him.

I sighed in exasperation and told myself to snap out of it. Instead of focusing on Michael, I ought to focus more on myself and live for myself. I shouldn’t lose myself in a relationship that was doomed from the start.

Just when I was about to get off work, my phone rang. It was Ronan on the line.

Upon seeing the caller’s name, I let out a helpless sigh before I answered the phone.
