“Michael, can you stop being so possessive? I already told you that there’s nothing going on between Nicholas and me. How many times do you want me to explain myself?” I let out a helpless sigh.

With regards to my relationship with Nicholas, I had given up trying to explain. No matter how many times I did, there was nothing I could do if he just refused to believe me.

“No, I have always been extremely possessive, and you’re well aware of it. Anna, I just can’t bear to see you talk to any other man because you are mine and mine alone!”

All this while, I was well aware of how frighteningly possessive Michael could be. It was just that he demonstrated it more blatantly now.

“I understand. Next time, I’ll keep my distance from him so that you won’t even get the opportunity to feel jealous.”

Closing my eyes, I felt a sudden bout of sleepiness strike me. Not wanting to continue the topic any further, I closed my eyes to ignore him.

Satisfied with my answer, Michael stopped putting me in a difficult position. After he hugged me from behind, I heard steady breathing come from him. In truth, he was already exhausted. It was just that he needed to vent the anger he felt out of his system.

When the subsequent few days turned out to be quiet, I enjoyed the simplicity of the life I shared with Michael. That was how I wanted to live out the rest of my days with him.

As I didn’t want to be a housewife who did nothing at home, I continued to look for a job. Nevertheless, an ordinary job no longer interested me. Furthermore, other than the companies that belonged to Michael or Nicholas, no other company provided benefits as good as theirs.

Over the last few days, I had the feeling that I was being watched, causing me to wonder if it was just my imagination. Every time I was walking in the street, that niggling feeling would creep up on me. However, whenever I turned around, I would not see anyone there.

Am I overthinking things?

That day, I drove out of the parking lot of an office building. When I arrived at a traffic light junction, I accidentally hit a BMW. Luckily, I wasn’t traveling fast but was still shaken by the impact.

Given how expensive the car looked, I began to worry as I got out of the car to check.

When what looked like a driver alighted from the vehicle, I figured the passenger inside must be someone important.

When the driver saw me getting out of the car, he berated me with a scowl on his face, “Miss, do you even know how to drive? Why didn’t you bother to look at the lights?”

“I’m sorry. I lost my concentration briefly and didn’t see you. Why don’t you check the damage on your car, and I’ll compensate you for it?”

Although the driver was rude, I was still in the wrong for running into his vehicle. Considering that I was at fault, I had to discuss the matter in a cordial manner.

“Given how bad the damage is, it will cost at least fifty to sixty thousand to fix it. All right then, you’ll have to pay fifty thousand,” the driver casually remarked after checking the damage.

“What? Fifty thousand? Just for a broken light?”

I looked at the driver in shock, not because I couldn’t afford it but because it seemed a lot to ask for just for a tail lamp. Evidently, he was trying to take advantage of me.

“Miss, can you take a good look at what car this is? It costs three million. Therefore, how can a tail lamp be considered expensive at fifty thousand?”

When he saw my dumbstruck expression, the driver looked at me with disdain and didn’t seem interested to continue the conversation.

I knitted my brows in response. Even though I could tell that it was an expensive car, I still felt that the tail lamp didn’t cost fifty thousand at all.

I didn’t like taking advantage of people, but neither do I like the same to be done to me. Hence, I replied, “I think what you’re asking is too steep. Why don’t we just give the insurance company a call instead.”

Although fifty thousand wasn’t a lot of money, I didn’t like the driver’s attitude and how he was looking down on me.

“Miss, can you stop wasting my time? Do you know who is in the car?”

As the driver stared impatiently at me, he was obviously upset that I wanted to call the insurance company.

“You left me with no choice, as fifty thousand is too much. Since I can’t afford it, I have no other solution than to call the insurance company.”

As I wasn’t going to pay the fifty thousand and had nothing urgent to do, I decided to drag the matter out.

“Jim, hasn’t the matter been resolved?”

Just when the driver wanted to say something, the MPV’s window wound down to reveal a middle-aged woman’s face. Despite being in her fifties, she looked as if she was in her thirties due to how well she

took care of her complexion. With her glowing skin, it was obvious that she was someone who came from a prominent family.

When I heard the lady’s voice, I turned my gaze at her and walked up to the window.

“Hello, Madam, I’m sorry to have bumped into your vehicle and given you a scare.”

Even though the negotiations for compensation were still ongoing, it was proper that I apologize for knocking into someone else’s car.

When the lady, Alicia, heard my words, she looked in my direction. The moment she saw me, she was briefly stunned before her eyes lit up in delight.

“Y-You’re Ms. Garcia?”

Her question caught me by surprise, as I had no impression of who she was. Suddenly, her eyes were filled with warmth. The over-friendly manner in which she was looking at me made me feel uneasy.

“My name is Anna Garcia. I’m sorry, but I don’t remember who you are.”

As I racked my brains, I just couldn’t recall who she was. Considering that I have a good memory, there was no way I would have zero impression of someone I knew.

Consequently, I was certain that I didn’t know who Alicia was. Nevertheless, I felt a strange feeling within me when I stared into her eyes.

Upon my reply, I caught a glimpse of hesitancy in Alicia’s eyes. After that, she replied with a smile on her face, “Erm, you might not know me because I’m not from around here. Since I was feeling bored at home, I decided to go out shopping.”

Despite her warmth, I was unsettled by the fact that two strangers could feel so familiar the first time we met.

Furthermore, I had run into her car and given her a fright. Thus, I was actually expecting her to be angry instead.

“Mrs. Campbell, about the compensation for the vehicle…”

As Alicia looked like someone easygoing, I decided to discuss the compensation with her so as to not appear difficult.

“Don’t worry about the minor damage. I don’t think it will cost much to repair.”

Alicia’s reply wasn’t what I had expected at all. I had assumed that she would reduce the compensation amount but was utterly surprised when she waived it instead.
