After Marrying My Boss

Chapter 495

Jackson came in, took a glance at me, and cleared his throat. His reaction made me feel even more embarrassed.

I wished I could bury my head in the sand when I recalled how he bumped into Michael and I when we were kissing.

“Say what you want to say, and get out!” Michael expressed his dismay when he noticed Jackson kept staring at me.

Jolted by Michael's voice, Jackson instantly looked away and put down the files on Michael's desk. “Here are the documents that need your signature.”

Jackson kept his head down. I knew he was afraid that Michael might scream at him again.

I walked away from Michael, sat on the couch, and tried to regain my composure. The only way to get over this embarrassment was for me to act as normal as I could.

Michael picked up the documents, skimmed through the content, and dropped his signature on them.

Jackson then immediately picked up the documents and left the office in a hurry.

There were only two of us left in the office. I heaved a sigh of relief, but at the same time, I felt Michael was being a little too hard on Jackson.

Jackson was only doing his job. I was sure he didn't expect to bump into us getting intimate in the office.

Since now there were only two of us in the office, I no longer felt embarrassed. I walked up to him and sat on his lap. After wrapping my hands around his neck, I expressed my dismay. “Why did you treat Jackson like that? He didn't do anything wrong, did he? I cannot imagine the anxiousness your secretary has to deal with when he works with you.”

“Didn't you notice he was staring at you all the time?” Michael raised his brows, and his expression turned grim.

Michael was a possessive man, and I could tell he was jealous. But I didn't expect him to be so petty. Why should he get mad at Jackson for looking at me?

“So what if he took a glance at me? Unless you don't want him to look at me because you think I'm hideous?” I rolled my eyes at him. I knew he was jealous, but I just wanted to tease him. Jackson came in, took a glance at me, and cleared his throat. His reaction made me feel even more embarrassed.

“No one else can lay their eyes on my woman, especially right after we did the monkey dance.”

He was still being as arrogant as usual. It seemed he didn't take my remark to heart.

His words rendered me speechless, and I could only shake my head. I knew I'd never out-talk him if we continued to argue on this topic.

I waited for Michael the entire afternoon and left with him after his working hours.

Since we were going to visit Alicia, we thought we should buy some health supplements for her instead

of going empty-handed.

Alicia was not originally from Avenport, but she had a house in the city. From what I knew, she relocated here without her family.

That got me thinking. Why would a rich woman like her, who didn't need to run business for the company, come to Avenport for no reason? But of course, some things were better left unknown.

After Michael and I arrived, we pressed the doorbell. A middle-aged woman, whom I believed was the housekeeper, opened the door for us.

She asked, “Mr. Shaw and Ms. Garcia?”

She studied us from head to toe after opening the door.

“Yes, that's right,” I replied with a grin.

“Come on in. Mrs. Campbell is busy in the kitchen.”

The housekeeper welcomed us into the house after hearing my reply. Alicia must have told her about us.

When Michael and I were about to take our seats on the couch, Alicia came out of the kitchen and greeted us. Despite having an apron on and dressed in casual attire, she still looked elegant.

“Hello, Anna.”

Alicia immediately smiled when she saw me. She kept looking at me and held my hands.

“Thanks for having us. Sorry to trouble you, Mrs. Campbell.” Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

I had gotten used to her enthusiasm ever since we met, so I could conceal my emotions very well.
