Chapter 229

I looked at Emma's face and sneered, “Michael was never my protector. I won't be afraid of you even
without him.”

Emma glared at me, infuriated. She wanted to say something, but I didn't want to waste my time with
her any longer since many of our colleagues were looking at us.

“Ms. Jones, I think you should go to Mr. Shaw quickly. If he comes out and sees you with me, what do
you suppose he would think of your action?”

The person Emma was most worried about was Michael. Even though I no longer had anything to do
with him, I still brought him up.

As expected, as soon as I said that, the look on her face changed. She looked at me, burning with
anger, but she didn't say a word and left angrily.

I would never admit defeat in front of Emma, but that didn't mean I didn't feel any discomfort inside. As
she walked into Michael's office, the pain I felt was even stronger.

My gaze stayed on the CEO's office's door. Although it no longer had anything to do with me, I couldn't
help but wonder what both Emma and Michael were doing in the office.

To be honest, I was rather possessive towards Michael. He was my first man, and we used to be
intimate. Although I always said that I hated him, I knew that the moment I started hating him was when
I fell in love with him.

In the past, whenever Emma entered Michael's office, she would be driven out by him. However, she



had been in there for an hour, and she hadn't come out yet. I felt even more disturbed.

Has Michael changed his attitude towards her so quickly?

I didn't know how long it took before the both of them finally came out of the office. Emma hugged
Michael's arm with a smile full of happiness.

However, Michael's face was emotionless. Although it wasn't as apparent as Emma's, I didn't notice
any trace of disgust on his expression.

Looking at them being intimate broke my heart. My eyes were locked on Emma holding Michael's
arms. My heart ached as if it was poked by a needle.

It was as if Emma could feel my gaze, she glanced at me with a smug face. She was utterly showing
off that she was the only woman next to Michael.

I looked at Michael, hoping that he would shove Emma aside. Watching him being with another woman
hurt me deeply.

However, it was over, and it seemed as though I was the only one who was hurting. After he glanced at
me indifferently, he never turned back. The way he looked at me was like a complete stranger.

When they were about to pass by, she suddenly looked towards him and said in a gentle voice,
“Michael, there's a new restaurant near my place. Let's go eat there tonight.”

“We can go if you want.”



Michael smiled softly. He looked at me, then looked at Emma again. His voice was gentle. I could feel it
after being with him for such a long time. I could feel that he didn't put in any emotions. Maybe he was
just giving her a half-hearted answer.

Delighted, Emma said, “I knew you treat me the best. Marrying you might be the luckiest thing that
could happen in my life.”

To me, Michael's answer was more than enough for Emma. She threw a provocative look towards me,
then leaned her head on Michael's shoulder with a happy smile.

I tried my best to look away, not wanting to listen to their conversation. I would be lying if I said I wasn't
jealous. I was just a woman so how could I not feel hurt and jealous watching the man I loved
embracing another woman. Moreover, she looked all happy and drown in love.

Michael smiled as he let Emma lean on his shoulders, and they both entered the elevator together.

I waited for the elevator door to close, and then I lowered my head. I gave out a bitter laugh, enduring
the pain in me. Even though I was the one who wanted to break up, I thought Michael would at least be
reluctant. However, it seemed the one who was reluctant was me instead.

“Mr. Shaw really loved his girlfriend. He must be the most perfect man in the world.”

Millie, who was sitting opposite of me, was also observing Michael and Emma. She saw the entire
display of affection as well and had a look of envy in her eyes.

My heart hurt even more after listening to Millie.



I lowered my head, trying to distract myself with work. However, Millie didn't know how I was feeling.

Millie suddenly had a thought. She raised her head and looked at me, worried. “Anna, how are you and
your boyfriend doing? I haven't seen him pick you up for so long. Is everything okay?”

Millie was referring to Yuval. However, that was a long time ago. Yuval and I had broken up for several
months, but I had never told her.

“We... We've broken up for a very long time already. I don't have a boyfriend now.”

Having felt disappointed, I gave her a faint smile. I was relieved when I broke up with Yuval. However,
breaking up with Michael seemed to have hollowed my heart.

“What? Did you break up with him? When did this happen? Didn't you both do it earlier?”

Millie was shocked when she heard the news. She probably didn't expect us to break up. Yuval must
have looked like a good man to her.

And she must be referring to the hickey on my neck the other day.

I was surprised by her reaction at first, but it made sense. She didn't know that I broke up with Yuval
long ago. She must have assumed that it was him who left the hickey, which was pretty normal.

Compared to Michael, it was more acceptable to give her the impression that Yuval left the hickey.

“Let's not mention it anymore. It's all in the past now.”



How could I ever think about Yuval? I only had Michael in my mind. There was no place for anyone
else in my heart.

“Alright, I won't bring it up anymore. But it's okay. You're beautiful, and you have a good personality.
There will be better men waiting for you in the future.”

I looked devastated. Millie must have thought she brought up something sad, so she quickly comforted
me.
