After Marrying My Boss

Chapter 34

With a smug smile on her face, Mabel sneered, ”I want to let you know that Justin is mine now! I am the one he loves!”

She was obviously saying that to rub salt in my wound. If this was before, my heart would wrench in pain at her words. Yet, I was now unperturbed — those spiteful words could no longer hurt me.

“That has nothing to do with me. Oh, by the way, I need to thank you for showing me his true colors. If it weren't for you, I would've married this jerk and lived a miserable life. Thank you for stopping me from ruining my own future.”

I feigned a grateful expression, the mockery in my eyes barely veiled.

Indeed, it broke my heart when Justin cheated on me with Mabel. Yet, looking on the bright side, it made me realize that the man was not someone worth marrying.

Although it was a hard decision to make, I never regretted leaving him. I knew I had made the right decision.

Mabel, on the other hand, could easily tell that I was dissing her. Hence, her long face twisted further in rage.

Standing beside her, Justin frowned slightly at my words. He stared at me disappointingly as if I was the one who had betrayed him.

Gazing at him, I curled my lips into a sarcastic smile. This man sure is a scumbag! He is the one who cheated on me. Not only that, he even has an illegitimate child! Now he's looking at me like I'm the one

who betrayed him? How ridiculous!

“Anna, actually, I've heard of your dad's condition. We've been together for seven years, after all. So, I'm actually here today to visit him.”

Justin sounded gentle and sincere, yet his words made me feel sick to my stomach.

Before I could say anything, Natalie beat me to it. She snarled, “You're here to visit Mr. Garcia? I think his condition might become worse if he sees you. Justin Xenakis, you've betrayed Anna. How dare you show up in front of her dad? You're really shameless, just like that b*tch over there. The two of you are truly a match made in heaven.”

Pulling a long face, Natalie then let out a sneer. She had seen me going through a hard time during the first few days of my break-up. Hence, she vented her anger on Justin by tearing him down.

Hearing her snide remarks, Justin scowled but said nothing. Usually, in the office, his subordinates would shower him with flatters and cozy him up. Hence, he was unhappy when Natalie suddenly derided him.

Nevertheless, he couldn't argue with her in public, for most people would take the woman's side. Besides, no one would side a cheater anyway.

Seeing a crowd started gathering, I was reluctant to make myself the butt of people's jokes.

I made my way to him and uttered coldly, “I appreciate your kindness, but I think my mom and dad would not want to see you. You better leave now. Also, we're done, so don't show up in front of me

again!”

From the moment I saw him on the bed with Mabel, I had given up on him. We were over since that day.

Justin furrowed his brow while fixing his eyes on me. Hearing my words, a smidge of worry appeared on his face. “Anna, I'm simply concerned about you.”

“I don't need your concern. Justin Xenakis, from now on, I hope you and your woman stay away from me. It disgusts me to see your faces,” I spat out.

Disregarding the angry look on Justin's face, I left the scene with Natalie.

It was supposed to be a happy day since my dad was finally getting his surgery. In the end, however, my mood was ruined by Justin and Mabel's arrival.

Those two are really annoying bastards. Ugh! If only they could leave me alone.

I plastered a cold expression on my face and remained silent on our way back to the ward.

With her brows knitted, Natalie kept glancing at me. After some hesitation, she asked, “Anna, don't tell me you're still upset because of that scumbag?”

Flashing her a tight-lipped smile, I reassured her, “Of course not. I've gotten over it. It's not worthy of me to be upset because of him. Their arrival has just spoiled my good mood.”

“You're right. Those two are really thick-skinned. They even dared show up in the hospital! I bet they

are up to no good! They probably just want to make Mr. Garcia's condition worse.”

“Alright, Natalie. Let's not talk about them anymore. Don't let them spoil our mood.” I changed the topic, unwilling to think about them anymore.

When we almost reached the ward, my phone beeped. I fished it out to see that it was a message from Michael. Feeling panicked, I immediately put my phone back in my pocket.

“Who's sending you a message?” Natalie asked curiously while casting a doubtful gaze at me.

Avoiding her eyes, I came up with a reply, “It's just a junk text message.”

“Oh, right! Natalie, take these into the ward. I suddenly recalled that I have something I need to take care of. I'll be back soon.”

Before she could ask more questions, I shoved the food into her arms and hastily left.

My friend's voice rang out from behind, “Anna, where are you going?”

Reluctant to let Natalie know about the deal between Michael and I, I hurried to the underground car park without bothering to answer her. Michael had told me he was waiting for me there in his message. Though, I had no idea why he came to the hospital.

It took me quite a while to find his car. Ugh! Why couldn't he park at a more noticeable spot?

Soon, I got into the car to find Michael wearing a pair of sunglasses, which covered half of his face. The man's distinguished air was discernible.

Just as I was staring at his side profile, he asked in an impassive tone, “Are you done staring?” Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

His voice brought me back to my senses. Instantly, I looked away from his face. Oh no, was I staring at him just now?

I cleared my throat before asking, “Why are you looking for me?”

Meanwhile, I kept my eyes straight ahead and dared not look at him.

Michael turned to face me and questioned coldly, “You're still entangling with Justin Xenakis?”

His question threw me off balance. When I got my mind around what he meant, I looked at him with furrowed brows, feeling displeased.
