Michael immediately shook his head, refusing to believe those words. Anna must be lying.
Why did he and Sarah divorce? Although he doesn't remember what happened during these five years and how their marriage was, he and Sarah seem to be doing well and are in love with each other.
They can't be divorced!
"Yes! Anna must have lied to me! It can't be like that! Ahh… why should I be bothered by her words?" Michael muttered then returned his focus to doing his office work.
But… What if Anna wasn't lying?
Suddenly there was such a whisper in his ear, making him immediately lower back the document he was reading.
It's really bothering him!
"Okay, let's find out instead of me continuing like this," Michael muttered with a frustrated sigh.
Why did Anna's words keep bothering him like this, anyway?
Michael then immediately pressed the intercom on his desk to call someone.
"James? Can you come to my room for a moment?" said Michael when the call was connected.
If what Anna said was true that he was divorced, there should be some kind of proof that he was divorced, right?
Not long after, someone knocked on the door of his room and James' figure immediately opened the door.
"What's the matter, Michael? Is there anything I can help you with?" asked James standing at Michael's desk with a serious look on his face, ready to take orders from his boss.
"That…."
Michael suddenly fell silent and did not continue his words. If he was divorced, James should have told him because he came to his house and met Sarah, right?
But he looked fine, as if not surprised that Sarah was living with him.
"That time you met my wife. Is there something you two were talking about?" Michael asked, staring at James intently, seeing if James was going to tell him something or was lying to him.
James blinked his eyes, slightly taken aback by Michael's question, but he managed to get over his facial expression to look normal.
"Mrs. Collins just told me your amnesiac state and told me to pay attention to you," answered James calmly.
Well.. it's not completely a lie because Sarah asked him to pay attention to Michael.
Michael fell silent hearing this. It was just as Sarah had told him. Was he just being too suspicious?
"What is it? You called me to ask that?" James asked when Michael was silent. His face looked a little confused. It had been so long since he'd last spoken to Sarah, why did Michael suddenly ask this?
"No, there's something I want to ask you for," said Michael who was still not satisfied with that.
"Could you find out… (if I have a divorce certificate?)" Michael suddenly swallowed his words. He couldn't say that.
James is his friend, if he had divorced Sarah, James should have told him about it.
What if… James was also close to Sarah? If that was the case, and they were divorced, James wouldn't have told him anything because he's become her friend.
"Finding about what?" James asked when Michael just stood there and didn't continue.
"That..." Michael looked confused. What should he say?
James still looked at Michael with raised eyebrows, confused by Michael's attitude like this.
Is he still sick?
"Do you know the female employee who often delivers food for me? The blonde one?" Michael asked suddenly.
Although he still wasn't one hundred percent sure that what he remembered about having sex in his office was with the blonde, and not with Anna, he'd better check it out.
"Blonde?" James was silent for a moment, trying to figure out who Michael was referring to.
"You mean Elizabeth?" James asked when he finally found out who the woman was referring to.
"Oh? You know her?" Michael asked when he realized James looked familiar with the woman. Come to think of it, when they passed each other yesterday the two looked like they were giving greetings.
"Yeah, she used to work at MCGames," James replied with a nod.
"She worked at MCGames?" Michael asked, widening his eyes.
MCGames is the gaming company he founded before he became CEO of Collins, and even though someone else is managing MCGames, Michael is still the highest shareholder in the company he founded.
James nodded.
"Then what is she doing here? Doesn't she work in the company canteen? Did she get transferred from MCGames?" Michael asked confusedly.
Even though MCGames isn't as big as Collins, his game company isn't that bad. It's also a big company, just not as big as Collins.
"No, it's not like that..." James said looking difficult to answer.
Michael's eyebrows rose, he stared intently at the man standing in front of him.
"Then what? Tell me!" said Michael firmly.
James didn't answer right away, appearing to be struggling a bit before he finally sighed.
"Just like me, you brought her from MCGames to come to Collins," James answered finally.
Michael's brow furrowed at that.
"You mean that woman worked at MCGames before I became CEO of Collins?" asked Michael repeating what James meant.
James nodded slowly.
Michael fell silent when he heard that. He wasn't surprised if he asked James to be his secretary at Collins, but why would he bring her? And not to mention, that woman only works in the company canteen?
"But… you know before that I didn't recognize you and had amnesia, right?" asked Michael again.
James nodded. Although at first he didn't really realize that Michael actually had amnesia and just thought Michael was being weird.
"But… ahh… let's talk while sitting there, I think I'll ask you a lot of things," Michael said then immediately stood up and walked to the sofa in his room, followed by James.
Seeing James who continued to stand while being interrogated by him like this made Michael feel uncomfortable.
"But when I finally remembered you, I remember a friend of ours said I forbade hiring female employees? Did I end up changing the regulations?" Michael asked when the two of them had sat down.
When he remembered that, Michael didn't feel strange about it. He is not sexist and thinks that women do not have the ability to work.
The proof is that he supports Sarah to become a doctor.
However, at that time, he didn't want Sarah to suspect him that there was something with another woman at work, especially since MC Games is a startup company, he spent a lot of time in the company.
"That..." James looked troubled again, not expecting Michael to ask that.
"What? You should have told me, James!" said Michael, starting to get annoyed because James looked hesitant.
"Yeah. The regulations didn't change during the two years I worked, but suddenly one day you said that Elizabeth would be working at MCGames as an intern to help our office clerk," James finally answered.
"What? I hired her myself?" Michael asked.
