Michael walked into his room in a bad mood. He had never felt humiliated by a woman as he had just now.
Who exactly is that strange woman? Why did she slap him?
Michael's left hand held his left cheek which was still hot. This was the first slap, ah no, the second he had got, maybe in his entire life.
The first was a slap from Sarah while they were having fun, it did hurt because he had never been slapped before, but Michael liked it a bit. It felt exhilarating and exciting.
However, this second slap made him feel very irritated, and… offended. Not only did the woman slap him hard, she also cursed him, and it was done in public!
Michael is really embarrassed!
Michael's eyes immediately looked at the door of his room when he heard someone knocking on the door, after he told the person to come in, the door finally opened. The figure of James came in with a tablet in his hand.
"Are you okay?" James asked when he saw Michael still holding his left cheek and it was turning red. It seemed like Anna had used all her strength to slap Michael.
"You think I'm fine?" Michael asked sarcastically and showed his cheek.
"Who exactly is that strange woman? Do you know her?" asked Michael who couldn't hide his annoyance.
James cleared his throat when he heard that.
"Yes, she is Anna Moss, a supermodel who became one of Collins' brand ambassadors," James said briefly and then immediately handed the tablet he was holding on Michael's desk.
Michael's forehead wrinkled seeing James' behavior, then he immediately took the tablet. His eyes immediately widened when he read the title of the article that was being displayed on the tablet screen.
"What?! What kind of article is this? I'm married!" said Michael irritably.
All this time he had always kept his distance from several women because he knew that he was married to Sarah, the woman he loved, how could he be exposed to a stupid scandal like this?
"What are you doing? Get rid of this stupid news immediately! You know this news is not true!" said Michael looking at James sharply. He didn't expect James to point this out to him instead of just get rid of it
James fell silent when he heard that, his mouth slightly open, wanting to say something, the truth, that Anna was Michael's girlfriend.
Even though he didn't know how close their relationship was, and didn't know if Michael was serious with Anna, James knew that Michael and Anna were close, he had even met the woman before when Michael asked him to pick him up.
However, James remembered Sarah's words. not to tell Michael about something that would take him by surprise, so James decided to swallow his words and nodded, then quickly left Michael's room.
As soon as James left, Michael's mood got worse, and his annoyance multiplied. Who was that strange woman?
"But… why am I so bothered by the way she looks at me?" thought Michael who had been feeling uncomfortable and his heart ached.
The hurt face and the cry of the woman who slapped him earlier bothered him a lot and he couldn't just forget it. He had even subconsciously wanted to chase after the woman, something in his body told him to run after her and hug her.
However, he managed to restrain himself from doing that. Why would he go after another woman when he was a married man? He must be really crazy!
"What was that woman's name? Anna Moss?" Michael thought then immediately moved his computer mouse to open a search engine and typed the name into the search field.
Photos of Anna soon came out as he did just that, as well as news of her stunning look at Milan Fashion Week. It seemed the news about her and Michael had disappeared, indicating that James had done a good job.
"This woman…"
Suddenly, Michael felt an excruciating pain in his head, it felt like someone was stabbing his head, causing Michael to close his eyes and immediately hold his head while groaning in pain.
***
Michael looked at the watch he was wearing, his face immediately turned nervous when he saw the time shown on the watch. He was thirty minutes late!
Hurriedly, Michael quickly picked up the speed of his car, and without waiting any longer he finally arrived at a cake shop.
Once inside, his head moved from left to right, trying to find the person who was waiting for him, his face immediately breathed with relief when he saw a woman was looking at him with an annoyed look.
"Sorry, I have a lot of work and I can't just leave it," said Michael when he saw the expression on the woman's face.
"…"
"Em… can you say something?" said Michael feeling uncomfortable because the woman in front of him was silent.
"You said to meet at five! I came here even ten minutes before five!" said the woman coldly.
"I know. It is my fault! I apologize! Oh yeah, have you ordered anything yet? Looks like the cakes here are really good! You like strawberries, right?" said Michael immediately changing the subject and then immediately stood up to order a cake without waiting for an answer from the woman.
Not long after, Michael came back with a cake in his hand.
"They said it's best seller cake! You have to try it!" said Michael who sat back down and looked at the woman in front of him.
"Are you trying to persuade me with… a piece of cake?" she asked coldly, staring at the cake on the small plate on her table.
"Did it not work? I thought you were on a diet so I only ordered a small portion," said Michael, who looked awry. He thought he had done the right thing, but it seemed he was wrong again.
The woman still wore an annoyed expression, before finally starting to laugh when she saw Michael's expression.
"Ahh… I can't stay angry with you for long." Michael immediately smiled hearing that. "But that doesn't mean I'll just forgive you!"
What the woman said next made Michael gloomy again.
"Then, what should I do?" Michael asked.
"You have to feed me!"
"Eh?" Michael didn't expect that that was what the woman would ask for.
"What? Are you embarrassed? We've been dating for two months, baby, but you don't even want to feed me and still call my name, like a stranger," said the woman slightly hurt.
Michael sighed then took his fork and fed the woman in front of him, making her smile immediately. The woman then fed him, and in the late afternoon, the two of them enjoyed their date at the cake shop.
***
Michael opened his eyes when the pain in his head had subsided, his face was covered in sweat and also pale.
"I… didn't go to that cake shop with Sarah but with another woman!"
