Love from My Dominant Boss

Chapter 564

Chapter 564 Utterly Shameless

Michael frowned in displeasure, and the look in his eyes as he stared at Leanne carried a trace of impatience. “I couldn’t get through to you recently, let alone see you, so I could only come here to look for you.”

Gazing at Michael, Leanne sounded all pitiful. Hmm, her remark of failing to get through to him is probably hinting at me blocking her number. Could it be that she wants Michael to be mad at me that she deliberately mentioned it before him? If that’s the case, she’s really a scheming woman!

“Why are you looking for me? If there’s nothing important, don’t bother us. It’s my wedding anniversary today.” In the face of her pitiful act, Michael glanced at her expressionlessly and dismissed her coldly.

Leanne probably didn’t expect his attitude to be so detached, for her face fell. She looked at him forlornly, appearing as though she was hesitant to speak.

“’Ms. Ryheim, don’t you think it’s exceedingly rude to disrupt someone on such an important day as his wedding anniversary?”

I couldn’t quite stand her pathetic act in front of Michael, and my gaze pinned on her was chilly.

The atmosphere between me and Michael tonight was all romantic earlier, but everything is ruined now because of her appearance! She’s really annoying, much like a poltergeist that just wouldn’t leave us in peace!

My voice dripped with iciness, and every single word was a jibe at her. When my words rang out, she turned her gaze to me, a glint of hatred flashing across her eyes. But with Michael there, she didn’t threaten me as she did previously. Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

“I’m sorry, but if I hadn’t come today, I might not be able to see him. I had no choice either.”

Her voice was subdued as though my question hurt her.

I had a bad impression of her in the first place, so the fury within me blazed even hotter following her reply.

“I’d like to have a chat with you, Michael. I have something to tell you.”

I actually wanted to say something further, but Leanne spoke to Michael before I could utter a single word, not giving me an opportunity to speak. Argh! She’s doing this on purpose!

“I don’t think there’s anything to say between the two of us. If there’s nothing else, Leanne, don’t intrude on my wedding anniversary celebration here.”

Michael’s face remained devoid of expression, and he didn’t react in the slightest despite Leanne’s words.

It was all too clear that he was turning her down, and that had me feeling much better.

I didn’t care about Leanne’s motive but Michael’s attitude. Considering his actions then, I knew that he no longer had any feelings for her. At once, gratification flooded me.

“Michael… why are you so indifferent toward me now? I merely want to say a few words to you in private. Is that not permissible? When did the two of us become strangers?”

Having been rejected by Michael, Leanne gazed at him sorrowfully even as the hurt in her eyes shone all the more brightly.

“We are strangers now, aren’t we?” Michael countered evenly, looking at her coolly without a hint of anguish in his eyes.

“Can you please not treat me in such a manner, Michael? Don’t be so aloof with me. We were once the closest person to each other. I don’t believe that I no longer have a place in your heart. You must still be angry because I left you back then, right?”

Seeing his attitude, Leanne panicked and dashed over to me and Michael, frantically grasping his hand.

Tears shimmered in her eyes, and she appeared utterly pitiful.

Michael’s brows knitted together deeply. In the next heartbeat, he shook her hand off without an ounce of hesitation, his eyes brimming with loathing.

“Leanne, things have long since ended between the two of us a few years ago. I now have a wife, and her name is Anna Garcia!”

As he said that, his voice carried a trace of coldness, making it evident that he didn’t want to yak with her then.

The expression on Leanne’s face froze, and she then turned to me with distinct hatred in her eyes. Right then, she was definitely convinced that he was only so dispassionate toward her because of me.

“I regret it now, Michael. I regret leaving you back then. I came back this time because of you, for I want to get back together with you. Let’s start afresh, okay?”

Leanne took Michael’s hand once more, her beautiful eyes clouded with tears.

“Did you not understand me, Leanne? I said that I’m already married and have a wife now. Therefore, I’ll never reconcile with you. I don’t want to repeat myself again!”

Michael frowned impatiently, his voice turning increasingly icier as he spoke.

Right then, he had lost all patience with her.

“Ms. Ryheim, do you not think that it’s rather inappropriate that you’re seeking to reconcile with my husband in front of me? Have you ever considered my feelings?”

Leanne’s words earlier didn’t only infuriate Michael, but I was also wholly offended.

I’m still here now, so is she regarding me as empty air? Does she not need my permission to hook up with my man? I even doubt that there’s some other woman more shameless than her in this world! She wants to be a homewrecker and ruin someone else’s marriage, yet she’s acting all justified though there are many people looking on. Does she not care about others’ opinions of her?

Upon hearing that, Leanne shifted her gaze to me with a glacial look in her eyes.

“Ms. Garcia, Michael and I really love each other. I hurt him back then, so he still blames me now. That’s why he’s acting so aloof with me. I believe that I’m still the person he loves most.”

Downright amusement inundated me at her words, and the corners of my mouth uncontrollably curved into a mocking arc. In the next second, I got up from Michael’s lap and stared into her eyes icily.

“Leanne, no matter how shameless a woman is, there should be a limit to it. Does your mother know that you’re such a cheap sl*t?”

She had gone entirely over my bottom line, so I could no longer rein in the towering rage within me. I was so livid that a profanity escaped my lips.

“How dare you?”

As soon as Leanne heard that, her face flushed bright red with anger, and she shot daggers at me with a furious expression on her face.

I knew that she had always been acting demure in front of outsiders despite her malicious and shameless nature, so she was really not all that skilled at lambasting others. Furthermore, she wouldn’t be so stupid to tear into me before Michael.

Michael already detested her greatly, so he would probably kick her out if she were to lay into me.
