Love from My Dominant Boss

Michael threw a cold glance at me and snapped, “Make sure this is the first and last time. If it happens again, you will be dismissed right away!”

I glared at the domineering man who stormed into his room, slamming the door behind him. A wave of fury surged within me as I snorted inwardly. Pfft! He’s obviously overreacting by putting me in a tight spot! Other colleagues had similarly received flowers from their boyfriends previously, but he never commented on anything or asked them to throw the flowers away. What’s with the double standard, huh? How could he just lash out at me and humiliate me in front of the entire office? Oh, he’s gone too far this time!

The moment Michael slammed the door of his office, Millie turned to look at me sympathetically and said in a hushed tone, “Anna, are you alright? Well, what was that all about! Mr. Shaw scared the crap out of me when he shouted at you earlier…”

“Everyone has a temper, and he should know that he’s annoying as well!” I pursed my lips and harrumphed. My mood was utterly spoilt by what happened a while ago.

Millie looked at the bouquet of roses which was in a pitiful state at the moment and sighed. “What a pity. Your boyfriend must have spent a lot for such a big bouquet of roses!”

My anger escalated at the sight of my bouquet of roses, which ended up in the trashcan. It reminded me how Michael reprimanded me in front of all my colleagues a while ago. Apart from feeling embarrassed, I was overcome by utter indignation. Did he realize that he’s just making a fuss out of nothing?

I shifted my gaze away from the bouquet of roses and talked myself into putting the disgruntling matter out of my mind. “Millie, let’s just drop the frustrating subject.”

As a result of the dramatic events that morning, I was down in the dumps the whole day. I could scarcely breathe as Michael assigned me piles of tasks and emphasized that all must be completed on the same day itself.

Consequently, I was occupied by the tasks the whole day and even had to skip my lunch. When my colleagues called it a day and left one by one in the evening, I was still rushing to get a few copies of the documents done. After throwing a glance in the direction of Michael’s room, I focused on my work again, hoping to get it done soon.
