Aaron nodded. He raised his hand to pat Annie’s shoulder and comfort her. After all, the past few days have been
nerve-wracking for her. “Don’t worry, Annie.”
Marcus, Annie’s boyfriend, felt uncomfortable when he saw his immediate boss acting inappropriately toward his
girlfriend. Even so, it was difficult for him to express his dissatisfaction directly to his boss.
He approached them and comforted Annie too. “That’s good to know, Annie. It’s great that your uncle and aunt.
You have nothing to worry about now.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAnnie looked at Marcus and snapped back to reality. She realized she had been too close to Aaron, so she took a
step back and kept her distance from him.
Aaron immediately understood what she was thinking and pursed his lips to smile at her.
Marcus raised his hand and hugged Annie’s shoulders. “Mister Aaron is right. You shouldn’t go in right now, so how
about we wait outside? I saw a shop not far from here. Let’s go get something to drink while we wait.”
Annie was not in the mood to drink anything. She shook her head and said, “No thanks. I don’t feel like drinking
anything right now.”
Marcus nodded helplessly. “Then I’ll wait here with you.”
Aaron narrowed his eyes slightly. He glared sullenly at Marcus’s hand on Annie’s shoulder and asked softly, “Have
you prepared the slides for tomorrow’s morning meeting?”
Marcus was stunned. “Uh… I’ll spend the entire night working on it when I get home.”
Aaron asked seriously, “You’re planning on staying up late, then? Can you guarantee you won’t make any mistakes?
Are you sure you’ll be able to explain everything clearly to the higher-ups in the meeting tomorrow? I don’t think
you need me to explain how important tomorrow’s meeting is. I think it’s best for you to put your work ahead of
everything else.”
Marcus felt a little awkward. “Umm…”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAnnie realized that Marcus still had important work to complete, so she said considerately, “You should head home
if you have work to do. You don’t have to wait here with me! I don’t want you neglecting your responsibilities.”
Marcus was still somewhat worried. “But…”
Annie said firmly, “Don’t worry about me. I’ve made sure that my uncle is fine. He’ll send me home once he’s out.”
Marcus looked at Annie and was still unwilling to leave.
Aaron then said slyly, “Annie understands that you have work responsibilities. I’ll take care of her here, so you can
go ahead and head home.”
Marcus felt an inexplicable chill down his spine when he looked at Aaron. Though Aaron was smiling at him, he felt
threatened all the same.
