Love from My Dominant Boss

Chapter 408 No Probing

Nicholas sounded calm as his eyes were locked on me.

When I recalled how I was reminiscing about my past with Michael, my mind panicked even more. I lowered my head and avoided his eye contact because I didn’t know what to say.

“Well, do you have something you want from me?” In the end, I lifted my head guiltily and pretended to be composed.

“It’s nothing. I only want to check on you and ask you what Michael said to you. It seems to me you’re pretty shaken. Did he say something to upset or anger you?” He was carefully observing my expression as he spoke.

It was as if he was afraid he was going to miss out on any details.

I’ve always disliked how he always tried to read me like that. It made me feel suffocating. Our partnership was supposed to be that of an equal one, not one where he controlled me. I didn’t want him to govern what I thought.

“It’s nothing. We’re only talking about how our company is going to snatch the partnership with Red Star. He learned about what we were trying to do, which was why he came to warn me about it.” Of course, I didn’t tell him about how Michael forcefully kissed me or that I would be visiting my child at Birchwood later tonight.
