Love From My Dominant Boss Chapter 520

Chapter 520 Waking Up Early

Throughout my time with Alicia in the hospital, I was tempted to tell her about what happened to Janette, as waiting to do so after she was discharged wasn’t going to make a difference. Unfortunately, the words just refused to leave my mouth.

Even when I left at night, I didn’t bring the matter up. In fact, I told her that I wouldn’t be there to pick her up the next day due to how busy I was at work.

Even though Alicia was disappointed, she didn’t express it. After all, she should have been more than satisfied after I took care of her for two whole days in the hospital.

By the time I reached home at night, I felt utterly drained. Despite barely doing anything at the hospital, it felt as if the day was unusually long.

When Michael came down after taking a shower, he shot me a quick glance before handing me some ice water from the fridge.

“Thank you,” I grunted meekly as I received the water.

“You haven’t told her about Janette yet.”

Staring into my eyes, Michael spoke with a nonchalant yet certain tone.

“How did you know?”

I was surprised that he guessed it without me telling him.

“It’s just a wild guess. Knowing you, you must have chosen not to tell her for fear that she couldn’t take the news.”

Michael pulled me into his embrace as he said that.

I was stumped by his words. Evidently, Michael was the person who understood me the most. Regardless of what my thoughts or decisions were, there was no way I could hide them from him. Sometimes, I wonder if he could actually read my mind. Or else, how did he know what I’m thinking all the time?

Raising my gaze to look into his eyes, I asked in an anxious voice, “Michael, tell me what I should do? Do you think she would be devastated upon learning what happened to Janette?”

“You don’t have to feel so conflicted since there’s no changing the past. Besides, she will find out eventually. Whether she can take the shock or not isn’t something you can decide. What you should do now is to get a good night’s sleep. After all, you didn’t manage to get any rest since last night. At the rate you’re going, my ‘benefits’ are at risk of being rescinded.”

Getting to his feet, Michael held my hand and led me upstairs.

Obviously, I was well aware of what he meant by “benefits.” Gosh, why is he still thinking about sex at this point? His mind is always filled with dirty thoughts. Nevertheless, I figured that it was just his way to distract me from my problems.

Although Michael seemed apathetic most of the time, he actually cared about many things. It was just that he wasn’t good at expressing himself.

After going upstairs with him, I took a shower before lying down in bed. Regardless, I just couldn’t sleep, as the matter continued to eat at me. All I could do was toss and turn in frustration.

At that moment, Michael wrapped his arms around my waist and placed his chin on my shoulder. With a mesmerizing voice, he murmured, “If you can’t sleep, why don’t we do something else?”

With my heart skipping a beat, I grew nervous instantly. Naturally, I knew that Michael was hinting at sex, but that was the last thing on my mind given how troubled I was feeling. His timing couldn’t have been more terrible.

“I think it’s better if I get some sleep. I’m terribly exhausted after spending two whole days in the hospital.”

After answering nervously, I closed my eyes and pretended to sleep. Even though I wasn’t sleepy at all, I just wasn’t in the mood to get it on with him that night. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

Michael didn’t force me and simply responded, “All right. In that case, you should just close your eyes. If you still can’t sleep, we can have a ‘workout’ to tire you out. After that, I’m sure you’ll have no problem sleeping.”

With that, he hugged me from behind and didn’t bring up sex anymore.

Suddenly, I wondered if his suggestion was just a ruse to get me to sleep. After all, he clearly knew that I wouldn’t agree to make love that night.

With that thought in mind, my heart warmed as I grew increasingly certain that that was his true intention.

After turning around to face him, I snuggled tightly into his arms where I finally felt a sense of calm.

“Anna, are you trying to seduce me on purpose?”

Michael’s voice rang out above my head and sounded a little raspy.

“No, I just feel like hugging you,” I replied as I nuzzled my face against his chest.

Upon my reply, Michael held me tightly in his arms before closing his eyes.

Due to the sense of security I felt in his embrace, I fell asleep very quickly as if I was cocooned from all my worries.

The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes the next morning was Michael’s exasperated look.

“What is it? Why are you up so early?”

I began to grow nervous when I saw how intently he was staring at me. Hence, I wondered what had gotten into him and if there was something on my face.

“I didn’t sleep a wink the entire night,” Michael remarked coldly as he continued to stare at me.

“Why? Aren’t you sleepy?”

Upon hearing his answer, I gave him a confused look and wondered why.

“How am I supposed to sleep with you in that position? Anna Garcia, did you do it on purpose?”

When Michael pulled the blanket aside in exasperation, I realized that I was sprawled on top of him like an octopus.

Not realizing it a moment ago, I panicked and let go of him the moment he pointed it out.

“Why didn’t you wake me up? I slept so deeply last night that I didn’t notice,” I mumbled while turning my head away as a blush crept upon my face.

“Given how hard it was for you to fall asleep, how could I have woken you up?”

Michael sounded frustrated. In fact, his frustration seemed to have stemmed from the fact that his lust wasn’t satisfied the night before.

At that moment, Michael’s arms had threaded around my waist, causing me to panic. Hence, I suggested at once, “Why don’t you go take a shower to cool yourself down?”

“I don’t want a shower. I want you. After having you, not only is the cold shower unnecessary, but I will also feel even better than from having one.”
