Mrs. Collins's eyes widened, her face looking astonished by what she had just heard. She even stood up from her seat in disbelief.
What did this woman just say?!
"What did you say?!" asked Mrs Collins, her voice a little sharp.
Sarah swallowed hard, lowered her hand that had been on the table and clenched her fist, it didn't stop shaking. It seemed she was still afraid of Mrs. Collins.
She may look strong at the moment, but she still frightens her.
Sarah then raised her head to look at Mrs. Collins who had been standing up, while looking at her with her sharp gaze
"I'm not going to see that woman!" said Sarah who could make her voice sound calm and not trembling.
The veins on Mrs Collins' forehead popped out, her face turning bright red after hearing Sarah's words.
"Are you crazy? She is Michael's fiancé! You have to tell her as a doctor! Isn't that your job? You can't do your job properly?!" said Mrs Collins, pounding the table in front of her.
Sarah was a little flinched, but she tried to look like she wasn't.
"You don't have to be afraid, you don't have to be afraid!" Sarah thought, trying to steel her heart and clenching her fists tightly.
"That's because I am a doctor. Michael is my patient, and I can't share his medical information with anyone, including his fiancé," Sarah said and gave her a professional smile.
Actually, this wasn't the reason she didn't want to see Anna. Why did she have to go see her ex-husband's fiancé?
Sarah herself didn't know why she didn't want to come and see Anna, which was clear, she didn't want to do that.
She didn't like it.
Maybe, she would have met her if it had been Anna who had come to see her, but… she didn't know, she wasn't sure either.
However, Mrs Collins suddenly brought her profession, allowing Sarah to find an excuse for not wanting to see that woman.
"What?" cried Mrs Collins with a clear expression of upset.
"Now you call yourself a doctor? So what have you been doing all this time? It's been a month since Michael had amnesia, and he still doesn't remember anything! Are you sure you're helping him to treat him?!" shouted Mrs Collins, pointing at Sarah.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSarah gasped when she heard Mrs. Collins' words.
As the woman said, she had been living with Michael for over a month, but what had she been doing all this time?
Apart from keeping Michael's diet in check, Sarah didn't actually do anything…
"As I said before, there is no cure for amnesia. I've tried to do everything to help Michael. Currently he is fine, he can do his usual activities, and go to work," said Sarah, starting to explain in a professional tone.
Inside, Sarah felt very bad. What Mrs. Collins said was once again on point.
"But don't worry, Michael's memory is slowly starting to come back. I can't go into detail, you can ask Michael yourself," Sarah continued trying to calm Mrs. Collins down a bit.
Mrs. Collins gritted her teeth when she heard Sarah's words.
"If my son doesn't get better. I will sue you!"
After pounding the table and pointing at Sarah with her index finger, Mrs. Collins finally came out of the room with a bright red face. She looks so pissed off!
Sarah breathed a sigh of relief when Mrs Collins finally came out. She then looked at her palms which now had her nail marks because she was clenching them too tightly.
"That woman is his fiancé and they intend to get married?" Sarah thought as she leaned back in her chair.
Sarah closed her eyes, starting to wonder what she was doing right now.
If Michael was just dating the woman, Sarah still felt bad, but she decided not to worry too much about it, continuing to comfort herself by telling herself that their relationship wasn't that serious so she didn't do anything wrong.
However, the woman was his fiancé, and they intended to get married.
Doesn't that mean… she's already like that woman named Elizabeth? Being a third person to other people's relationships?
They even had sex!
"Ahh… I don't know anymore."
Sarah grabbed her hair in frustration. Right now she didn't know what to do. She had mixed feelings.
Michael is engaged?
***
Meanwhile, the person who was currently occupying Sarah's mind was seen listening to a presentation from one of his employees regarding their sales.
Every now and then Michael's face was smiling happily at a good number, but other times his face looked like he was deep in thought, and also looked displeased.
When he made that latter expression, there was silence in the room, no one made a sound, not even to move their cramped legs from sitting too long.
The aura emitted by Michael was too gripping and frightened them.
The employees finally breathed a sigh of relief when the meeting ended and Michael exited the room.
"Ahh… I almost suffocated to death," said one of the employees, sighing with relief. Since then, she had been holding her breath.
"As usual, I'm always nervous every Monday at the beginning of the month. Luckily our numbers are not too bad," said one of the employees sitting next to her chimed in.
"But… don't you see something has changed with Sir Michael?"
The two of them looked at the person with confused looks.
"He's becoming more and more smiling nowadays. He used to have a straight expression even though we gave him good numbers."
The two fell silent, tried to think about the words, then finally nodded.
Their current boss became even more cheerful than usual. Did something good happen to him?
After finishing the meeting, Michael finally walked towards the elevator, followed by James who was behind him.
"Do I have another schedule today?" Michael asked as they got into the elevator and waited for it to go to his floor.
James didn't answer right away, he picked up the tablet he was holding and looked for Michael's schedule that he had written down earlier.
"You have lunch with Collins' business partner, then after that, we can head over to MCGames to see how they are doing," James said, starting to read out Michael's schedule.
Michael sighed, looks like he's really busy today and has to get out of the office.
"Oh right, Mr. Lamont from Lamont Group invited you to his daughter's wedding today at nine at the Royal Hotel. Are you coming?" James asked, turning to Michael.
Michael didn't answer right away and got out of the elevator that had opened.
"Do I need to come?" Michael asked for James' advice.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRight now, he seems to be very busy and wants to spend his time at home alone with his wife.
"My advice, you should come and give her daughter a gifts. Lamont is Collins' business partner since it was still led by Mr. Collins," James replied giving his suggestion.
Michael was silent for a moment, didn't answer right away, and continued walking towards his room. His face looked like he was thinking.
Michael then immediately stopped when he finally arrived in front of his room. He then turned to look at James, who had been sitting in his chair, causing James to immediately stand up.
"If it's a wedding, does that mean I can take Sarah with me?" Michael asked.
After experiencing amnesia, this was the first time he had received an invitation to attend an event like this.
He had previously received an invitation to lunch, but usually it was him alone who came and had lunch with them.
He actually wanted to come with Sarah too, but he always noticed that his business partners never took their partners.
So Michael thought that it might not be the right thing to do and chose to bury that thought
However, if it was a wedding party, wouldn't it be fine if Sarah came along with him?
Michael's question made James gasp, he didn't expect Michael to ask something like that.
"Why do you look surprised? I can take Sarah with me, right?" asked Michael looking at James in confusion.
It was a simple question, James didn't need to be so surprised.
"That… you want to come together with Mrs. Collins?" James asked again to make sure he hadn't heard wrong.
Michael nodded.
"Yes, of course. Wouldn't it be weird if I came alone?" asked Michael looking at James in confusion.
He's a married man, it's only natural that he invites his wife, right?
"What's with your expression? Are you surprised that I wanted to take Sarah with me?" Michael asked confusedly when he saw James's unusual expression.
James cursed himself inwardly for not keeping his expression well this time, he was trying to think of what he should say in a situation like this.
Did he have to lie to Michael again?
Before James could find a solution, Michael's voice was heard again.
"Did I… never come with Sarah to something like that?"
