“So what if someone sees us? Even if that were to happen, they would only think you are the one who seduced me, wouldn’t they?”
Michael’s lips curled upwards into a triumphant smirk, his eyes gleaming.
No wonder he was not worried. He had already taken that into account. Michael truly was getting more and more despicable.
“What on earth do you want, Michael? Will you only be satisfied after you’ve forced me to resign? What exactly have I done to offend you to make me your punching bag at work?”
I was furious. It was no secret that Michael was trying to make things difficult for me. Even though I was the one who suggested to break things off between us, which probably hurt his ego, I had become nothing but an employee with no power against him. There was absolutely no reason for him to be targeting me in everything I did.
“Did I say I want you to resign? Can’t you handle this bit of stress, Anna Garcia? Are you admitting defeat already?”
Michael frowned slightly, scrutinizing me. Displeasure flickered in his gaze.
“Is there anyone who wouldn’t admit defeat in front of you?”
I let out a dry laugh as I stared at him with contempt. He had already played me like a toy to this extent. What else could I do besides surrendering? The man in front of me was the famous Michael Shaw while I was just an ordinary woman. There was no other choice for me except to concede.
“Get out!”
Just as I thought he was going to lecture me further, Michael bolted upwards and hollered at me to leave.
