Chapter 458


    Instead of wasting time arguing with Nichs, I left the meeting room.


    At this point, I was no longer in the mood to work anymore, so I left the office and called Natalie to


    apany me to a bar.


    Natalie, who was still at work, immediately applied for emergency leave and came over after she


    learned that I was not in a good mood. That''s what close friends are for.


    In no time, we arrived at a bar nearby. I didn''t usually likeing to this kind of ce, but today, I just


    wanted to have a drink.


    As Natalie and I sat by the counter, the deafening music in the bar caused my head to spin. After a few


    drinks, I started to feel a little dizzy.


    “What''s wrong with you today, Anna? Did you have a fight with Michael?”


    Natalie expressed her concerns when she noticed that I was drowning myself in sorrow.


    “Nope.”


    “Then why do you look so upset? Is there anything else bothering you besides Michael?” Natalie


    knitted her brows and gave me a confused look.


    With that, I told her everything, including how the directors suspected me and everything else that had


    happened at the office today.


    Natalie, too, couldn''t contain her anger upon hearing my story. “What the hell? What''s wrong with those


    people? You worked hard for them, yet they doubted you like this?”


    “It''s all business. They don''t care how much effort we put in to help thepany make money.”


    I responded with a wry smile. How can I not be disappointed with Nifty Group?


    Have they ever thought of the projects I''d secured for thepany when I was overseas in the past


    year? Yet, they questioned me as if I were a criminal.


    “They''re just a bunch of hypocrites! Anna, you should just leave thepany! You''re just going to


    make Michael your enemy if you continue to work for them. I''m sure your rtionship with him would


    improve if you quit the job. Don''t you think so?” Natalie inched closer and looked at me in anticipation.


    Instead of wasting time arguing with Nichs, I left the meeting room.


    Natalie had always been wanting me to get back with Michael. She could tell that I had not forgotten


    about the man and was still in love with him.


    But I could only respond with a wry smile. I might still have feelings for him, but our rtionship would


    never be the same again.


    “Michael and I can only be enemies for life, and nothing''s gonna change that. I know what you''re


    thinking, but you should stop wasting your time. There''s no future between Michael and me.”


    Natalie''s intention was clear. I knew she wanted me to reunite with the man I loved, but there was


    already a barrier between us that was stopping us from getting back together.


    “How do you know that? No one knows what the future holds. Perhaps, you might end up being


    happier with him,” Natalie pouted and disagreed with what I said.


    “That''s enough. Don''t try toplicate the matter for me anymore. And can you please stop


    mentioning Michael''s name? I don''t want to hear it.” It annoyed me whenever Natalie brought him up in


    our conversation.


    It was all Michael''s fault that I was in this hot soup. If only I could kill him to vent my frustration!


    At that thought, I raised another ss of wine and gulped it down. I just wanted to drink my worries


    away.


    “Slow down, Anna. You''ll get drunk!” Looking at how tipsy I had be, Natalie instantly grabbed the


    ss from me.


    At that point, I was already drunk as I could feel my head spinning nonstop.


    When I was about to snatch the wine ss back from her, my vision turned blurry, and everything


    around me seemed to be shaking.


    Suddenly, two young men walked in our direction and stood before us. “Hey, what''s up. Can we buy


    you two beauties a drink?”


    One of them kept ogling us, and they couldn''t keep their eyes away from our breasts.


    I knitted my brows as my frustration kicked in. What do these young boys think they''re doing?


    But I didn''t take it out on the guys since I wasn''t in a mood to entertain them, so I merely looked away


    and gave them the cold shoulder.


    Natalie, on the other hand, got a little agitated. “Scram. We don''t have time to entertain young boys!”


    She was someone who was not afraid of speaking her mind, so she didn''t show the boys any mercy.


    These two men might look young, but they seemed like troublemakers. Upon hearing what Natalie


    said, one of them got up to Natalie and wrapped his hand around her shoulder while the other person


    walked up to me and ogled me.


    “Young boys? Are you afraid that I can''t satisfy you? Why don''t we get a room so that you can check


    out the size of my junk?” The man who wrapped his hand around Natalie''s shoulder smirked.


    Has he no shame?

    A line formed between my brows as I couldn''t take it anymore. Natalie pushed the man aside and


    warned him, “I said scram! I''ll beat you up if you dare to touch me again!”


    She stood up and bellowed at the guy, but I knew she was a timid person who was only good at giving


    empty threats.


    “Wow, f*ck. What a fierce b*tch. Of all the women I hooked up with, I''ve never met someone like you. I


    guess I gotta show you who''s the boss here!”


    The young man shot daggers at Natalie as he felt offended.


    “Shouldn''t you boys be studying at home? Do your family members know you little boys are acting like


    hooligans in the bar? Your parents would beat you to death if they find out you''re flirting with women


    here!”


    I got up from my seat, feeling a little wobbly from all the drinks I had earlier. These two boys were at


    most eighteen years old, yet they were stirring up trouble at the bar, so I couldn''t just sit there and do


    nothing anymore.
