Chapter 507 Strangers

As a direct consequence of Michael’s zeal from the night before, I was forced to descend the stairs in small steps. “What’s the matter, Anna?” Josephine asked with concern as she came halfway up the stairs to help me down.

I fell silent in embarrassment.

“Er… Nothing. I’m fine,” I said, finding it difficult to be frank with her regarding the nature of my soreness.

“Are you sure you’re fine? You should call in sick today if you feel under the weather.”

To my intense relief, Josephine seemed to have deemed my explanation satisfactory as she did not pursue the subject any further.
