Love from My Dominant Boss

Chapter 548

Chapter 548 He Was With That Woman

My eyes reddened when I saw the room door being shut, and I was so upset that I couldn’t keep my feelings suppressed anymore.

Michael had never been so cold to me, but something seemed to have changed since yesterday. For some reason, I felt like the two of us had become distant like strangers.

Having lost all feelings of sleepiness, I decided to stay up and wait for him to come back. When Michael had yet to return by midnight, I couldn’t help but wonder if he was even coming back at all.

Still clinging to the faint glimmer of hope in my heart, I grabbed my phone and dialed his number. However, it simply kept ringing on and on with no answer. That made me wonder if Michael was deliberately ignoring my calls.

Recalling what Ronan told me today, I felt a strong urge to find out more. If Michael won’t give me an explanation, I’ll look for evidence myself!

With that in mind, I grabbed my phone and dialed Ronan’s number instead.

I knew that most ordinary people would’ve been asleep as it was already midnight, but I couldn’t keep my emotions suppressed any longer. I absolutely had to get to the bottom of things right then and there.

Fortunately for me, my call got through in just a few rings.

“Anna, do you have any idea what time it is? Why would you call me at this hour?” Ronan protested in annoyance the moment he answered the phone.

Judging by how tired he sounded, I figured he had just woken up from his sleep.

“Ronan, there’s something I need your help with,” I said anxiously.

I was so desperate that I couldn’t care less if I was being selfish and unreasonable toward him.

“What could possibly be so urgent that you need to call me right now? Can’t it wait till tomorrow?” Ronan asked in exasperation.

“I don’t have time for this crap, Ronan! Are you going to help me or not?”

I wanted to know where Michael went so badly that I couldn’t stand waiting another second.

“Of course, I’ll help you out if it’s something I can manage. Since when have I ever turned you down, Anna? So, what do you need me to do?”

Ronan’s tone became a little more serious after hearing how stern I sounded.

I got straight to the point and told him in my most serious tone possible, “I want you to find out if Michael is currently at the hospital. Also, I want to know who he with at the hospital yesterday.”

“You’re still going on about that? Come on, it might just be a misunderstanding! What if you end up ruining your relationship with him by investigating this matter?”

Ronan tried to talk me out of it after hearing my request.

“He left in a hurry after getting a phone call tonight, and he isn’t back yet. I tried calling him earlier, but he didn’t answer my calls either.”

Just thinking about Michael’s attitude toward me that night made me feel incredibly upset.

I really wanted to trust him, but I couldn’t bring myself to do so after what he did.

I didn’t know what happened that changed his attitude toward me so drastically.

“You mean Michael isn’t home right now?”

Ronan’s tone grew a lot more serious after hearing what I said.

“Yeah, that’s right. He left in a hurry after getting a call. I asked him what it was about, but he wouldn’t tell me anything. That’s why I’m trying to investigate it myself.”

Since Ronan wasn’t an outsider, I decided to be open about it when asking for his help.

“Got it. I’ll have the people at the hospital look into it right away. I’ll call you as soon as I find something!” Ronan replied and hung up the phone immediately after.

Throughout the next few minutes, I sat there gripping my phone tightly as I waited. Every minute felt like an hour. I really hoped Ronan would call me and tell me that Michael didn’t go see the woman at the hospital.

But if that were the case, then it could mean he had gone somewhere else with that woman.

Ronan’s call came in a few minutes later, and I answered it in a heartbeat.

“Well? Did you manage to find anything? Is he in the hospital right now?”

“Yeah, I did. He drove a woman to the hospital a little over two hours ago. I think they’re getting a check-up at the moment,” Ronan said, sounding a lot more serious this time.

My heart sank when I heard what he said, and an overwhelming feeling of sadness swept over me once again.

My throat tightened, my eyes reddened, and a wry smile formed on my lips.

So, that’s what he meant by an emergency? To accompany a woman for a medical check-up?

“Oh, I see… Thanks.”

Having gotten the answer I was looking for, I was going to hang up the phone after saying that.

“Hey, Anna!” Ronan called out to me anxiously.

I choked back my tears and asked as calmly as possible, “What is it?”

“I know what you’re thinking. If you have your suspicions, then you should go seek proof to confirm them. For all we know, this really might just be a misunderstanding!” Ronan advised me. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

He must’ve figured out my thoughts based on what I told him on the phone earlier.

“Give me a moment to think things through. My mind is a mess right now, and I don’t know what I should do.”

I really wanted to go confront Michael at the hospital, but I didn’t have the courage to do so. I feared the truth would be far beyond what I had imagined.

“It’s too late for you to be racking your brain like this. For now, just try to get some rest. I’ll look further into it.”

Ronan sounded a lot gentler this time, but I wasn’t in the mood to care about anything.

With a wry smile on my face, I hung up the phone without saying a word.

Michael must be really close with that woman if he’s accompanying her for a medical check-up at this hour. He would never get so concerned over an ordinary friend!

My tears started to fall at the thought of that.

My eyebags were all swollen up from crying and staying up all night, and I looked incredibly haggard as a result.

I was planning to remain holed up in the room all day, but the housekeeper kept asking me to go and have breakfast, so I had no choice but to head downstairs.

Sitting at the dining table, I had no appetite whatsoever. The mere thought of Michael spending the entire night with another woman upset me incredibly.

“What’s the matter, Anna? Why do you look so pale? Are you sick?” Josephine asked worriedly when she noticed how pale I looked.

“I’m fine. It’s probably because I didn’t get enough sleep last night,” I replied while trying to look as calm as possible.

I didn’t want anyone to know what happened between me and Michael just yet.

Not suspecting a thing, Josephine said with a pained expression, “You’ve been overworking yourself lately. Make sure to get enough rest or you’ll ruin your health!”
