Love from My Dominant Boss

Chapter 146

“Anna, I think we…”

Yuval was about to say something further, but he was interrupted by a woman’s voice coming from behind us, “Hey, Anna! Long time no see!”

That voice… It’s Mabel! I haven’t seen her nor Justin in a very long time. Who would’ve thought I’d bump into her here today…

I frowned as I turned to look at Mabel who had her arms wrapped around Justin’s, looking like she was the happiest woman in the world.

A few months ago, seeing them acting all intimate like this would’ve made me incredibly furious and upset. However, all I felt toward them at that moment was pure disgust.

Since nothing good ever happened with her around, I decided to look away and ignore her.

“What, aren’t you going to greet your old friend?” Mabel asked provocatively as she made her way in front of me, clinging tightly to Justin’s arm the whole time.

“I don’t think we’re friends anymore, so there is no need for greetings.”

Mabel was probably the only woman in the world that I would treat so coldly. In fact, I no longer hated her, but I could never forgive her for what she did to me. Judging by the looks of her, it didn’t seem like she needed my forgiveness at all.

“Who is he, Anna?” Justin, who had been silent up until then, tried to change the topic when he saw Mabel taunting me.

Not wanting to entertain a scumbag like him, I simply shot him a glance and kept quiet, much to his chagrin.

The look on his face grew tense as things became awkward.

“My name is Yuval Lambert. I’m Anna’s boyfriend.”

Yuval took the initiative to introduce himself when he saw me remain silent, but I didn’t like how he called himself my boyfriend when I had come to break up with him.

Justin’s expression changed the moment he heard what Yuval said.

Mabel snorted in disdain and said, “Boyfriend? Heh… You sure are fast when it comes to changing boyfriends, Anna! I can’t believe you’ve found yourself a new one in just a couple of days!”

I knew she was trying to make Yuval think of me as a wh*re who keeps getting herself new boyfriends, but I didn’t really care.

“The amount of boyfriends I have is none of your concern. I suggest you mind your own business,” I said while glaring coldly at her.

“What, are you afraid of me exposing your past in front of your boyfriend? By the way, where’s Michael? Didn’t you say Michael was your boyfriend the other day? Why are you with another guy now? Did you get dumped or something?”

Mabel flashed me a contemptuous smile as she deliberately brought up Michael in front of Yuval.

Although I knew exactly what she was trying to do, I couldn’t help but feel angry at her nonetheless. What on earth have I ever done to her? She’s already dating Justin just like she wanted, so why is she still trying to pick a fight with me now?

“Who I date has nothing to do with you!”

Mabel walked up to Yuval and placed a hand on his shoulder as she said, “Hey, mister! My boyfriend used to date your girlfriend, and guess what? She’s surprisingly fast at getting into new relationships! I mean, you’re the third guy she’s dating!”

She kept her eyes fixated on me the whole time, and they were filled with hatred.

With a frown on his face, Yuval brushed her hand off and said coldly, “That’s between Anna and me. Now, if you’ll excuse us, we’re in the middle of a discussion here.”

Despite his gentle nature, Yuval’s expression was as cold as ice when he saw what Mabel was trying to do.

“You two carry on, then. We’ll be on our way now,” Justin said while casting Yuval a hostile glare.

He didn’t make it too obvious because we were in public, and I probably wouldn’t have noticed it if I hadn’t known him for so many years.

“Hey, let go of me! I’m not done talking here, Justin! Are you feeling sorry for her, huh? Do you still have feelings for her or something?” Mabel shouted in dissatisfaction as Justin dragged her away by the arm.

I could clearly hear what Mabel said even though the two of them had gotten far away from us, and I knew Yuval must’ve heard it too.

I wasn’t exactly in a great mood to begin with, and that little scene Mabel caused worsened it even further.

“Yuval, I’ve told you everything I have to say to you, so let’s just be friends from now on,” I said in all seriousness while staring him in the eye.

Yuval looked at me anxiously and was about to say something in response, but I cut him off before he had the chance to.

“I know what I said might’ve hurt you, but we won’t be happy together if we don’t have any feelings for each other. I’m sorry, I’ll be on my way now.”

“Anna…”

I then stood up and left, ignoring what he said behind me.

Stepping out of the café, I felt as if a huge weight had been lifted off my chest. I had always felt this inexplicable pressure whenever I was with Yuval, and getting everything out in the open brought a huge relief.

I soon arrived at a shopping mall and was browsing the women’s section in hopes of getting myself some new clothes. The last time I went shopping for clothes was ages ago, and I had been under a lot of stress lately, so I could really do with a shopping spree.

I picked out a light beige dress in a boutique and was surprised at how well it fitted me after trying it on.

All women want to be beautiful, and I was no exception. I liked the dress for both its design and material, but the hefty price of over two thousand made me hesitate instantly.

After getting changed, I placed the dress back on the rack and stared at it longingly. I really liked it, but I couldn’t bring myself to buy something that expensive.

The clothes I owned cost around two to three hundred each, with the exception of the dress Michael gave me the other day.

“What do you think of this dress, miss? I think it suits you very well and brings out your elegance perfectly.”Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
