"Says who? Says the bastard who lied to me and made me his mistress?"
Kate's words were like a sharp dagger stabbed straight into Michael's conscience. He was ready to say many things to convince his boss' lover to stay, but he was caught off guard by how direct she was.
"M—Ma'am, you should calm down first and let me explain."
Kate rolled her eyes, "Step aside, Michael. I don't want to argue with anyone in the morning. I had enough from last night."
"I can't, Ma'am. I'm tasked to protect you. If I allow you to leave, then I'm subjecting you to many dangers outside," Michael replied, not budging from his spot.
"Tsk, step aside!"
Unfortunately, Michael was strong, and no matter how often Kate tried to push him to the side, he wouldn't budge.
"Ma'am, you need to calm down," Michael repeated. "You aren't thinking clearly. Please understand that Henry is also trying his best right now."
