Chapter 520: Michale Shaw Side Story (11) What is Wanted, is a Kiss

Tobias signaled Michale Shaw to put on his clothes, lowered his head, and continued eating, with someone’s chatter ringing in his ears:

“Last time I went home, I came clean to Grandpa. He beat me up and said he’d lock me in a nursing home and get a psychiatrist for me. But I know I’m not sick!”

“How can liking someone be an illness?”

Tobias’s mouth twitched hard, wishing he’d shut up soon.

“What were you thinking? Why did you come clean to your family?”

“Because I want to pursue you.”

“You haven’t even won me over, and you dared to come clean about this to your family?”

“Because I need to clear all obstacles and pursue you without any worries. That way, when we actually get together, my family won’t make things difficult for you.”

Tobias paused for a moment; Michale was different from everyone else she knew.

Straightforward, honest.

Almost everything he did was open and bold.

These words made her heart…

Tremble violently.

“Did Old Shaw accept it?” Tobias lowered her head and drank her porridge.

“Yeah, he even agreed to help me persuade my Grandma and parents.”

Tobias really didn’t know how Old Shaw accepted this matter, rubbing her brow in a headache.

“You have no idea how urgent the situation was at that time. Grandpa really went all out. Luckily, Hale brought Vera in time; otherwise, you wouldn’t have seen me…”

“You probably don’t even know there’s someone in this world who loves you so much.”

“Pfft—” Tobias couldn’t hold back, almost spitting out a mouthful of porridge, choking a bit.

“What’s wrong with you?” Michale frowned.

“Can you let me eat my meal quietly?”

Michale immediately fell silent, got up, and sat opposite her, staring at her silently.

That gaze, as passionate as fire.

However, he received a call from his assistant, seemingly about a thorny project that required him to return to the company to handle it. He could only get up and leave, and Tobias couldn’t wait for him to go, rising to see him off.

Finally, seeing him leave, Tobias was about to close the door, when a powerful force pushed the door open from the outside. Michale had unexpectedly turned back, holding the door with one hand, smiling at her, “Tobias.”

Tobias froze, her expression somewhat peculiar, her eyes seemingly dimming instantly, “I don’t like that nickname.”

Michale’s brows lightly furrowed. He had known Tobias for so long and had seen her get angry, furious…

But had never seen this expression,

Frustrated, with a hint of anger.

He immediately changed the subject, “Um… earlier, you said as long as I kept your secret, you’d give me anything I wanted?”

“You better not say you want me? Impossible!” Tobias crossed her arms, seemingly seeing through his thoughts, “As long as it’s within my ability, I can give one point to our companies’ cooperation…”

Tobias hadn’t finished her sentence when Michale suddenly leaned over,

Bent down, bent his neck,

Slightly tilted his head, and the distance between their lips disappeared in an instant.

For a moment, the surrounding air seemed to be sucked away.

The thin lack of oxygen made Tobias feel her heartbeat suddenly become heavy.

“Bang! Bang!” Intense pounding in her ears, her body still cold, but Michale had a scent like he’d just basked in the sun, warm and clean.

His lips were very hot.

Burning her, making her feel like her lips were on fire.

Just a peck, the whole process lasted only a few seconds, she tried her best to restrain her emotions, and Michale straightened up, his eyes hot and bright, yet dark like an abyss, seemingly sucking people in.

The two were still very close at this moment, Michale’s gaze fell on her wet, red lips, his smile full of triumph and radiance, “What I want is this.”

Tobias’s breath was rapid, her heart beating so fast it was about to leap out of her throat.

“By the way, earlier you said you could give one point for our cooperation?”

Tobias gritted her teeth, “Dream on!”

Taking advantage of her and wanting to take advantage of the company again?

“I recorded it. If I don’t see you at the next negotiation, I’ll play this recording.”

“You…”

“Take a good rest, I’m going home now.” Michale said, rubbing her head again before leaving, making Tobias slam the door shut in anger.

All sounds were isolated outside, Tobias felt her breathing and heartbeat still weren’t smooth.

Only now did she realize her palm was covered in hot sweat, there seemed to be a residual temperature on her lips, like a warm fire, gradually spreading throughout her body…

She took a step,

As if stepping into a fire star, her whole body felt hot.

Michale was really a piece of work, why does encountering him every time mess up all her planned things?

After he left, Tobias finally took out her phone, had a few work calls to reply to, then saw many messages from her cousin, and called him back.

“Sis, you’re back to life?” Archer Carter laughed, “I didn’t mean to leave you running, the atmosphere was just too awkward!”

“So, after Michale knew I was a girl, you left your sister alone with him, and you’re not afraid he would do anything to me?”

“Did he bully you?!” Archer’s emotions instantly became agitated.

Tobias’s mouth twitched, hadn’t even spoken yet, when the person on the other side seemed even more agitated, “How could he do that? It doesn’t matter if he’s a big shot in Capital City, how can he be so shameless, taking advantage when you’re weak.”

“Simply not worthy! I even used to call him bro, what a waste of sincere feelings for a dog.”

“…”

Tobias watched jellyfish freely swimming in the water, listening to her cousin criticize Michale, her mood instantly improved.

But then the person’s tone changed suddenly:

“Sis, since he bullied you, we can’t let him off easy!”

“Then what do you suggest?” Getting someone to beat him up?

“Make him take responsibility, he has to take responsibility! Or… you two might as well make do together.”

Tobias’s mouth twitched hard, and she sent him one word:

“Scram!”

**

Michale, having come clean to Grandpa, naturally didn’t care whether Tobias was male or female. But confirming she was female made their future interactions smoother.

Tobias?

This nickname can’t be used?

And she is clearly a girl, why claim to be a boy?

He asked a friend for help, found the Carter Family’s registration information in the household department, and when he saw Tobias’s information…

He froze for a long time!

He seemed to understand everything instantly.

This led him to go home with his head hung low, feeling dejected. Old Shaw noticed his unusual behavior and sighed deeply.

Sigh—

This stubborn kid, he had already told him, even if you like someone, they may not necessarily be willing. Did he hit a dead end?

The old man hadn’t told the rest of the family yet; he knew his grandson hadn’t confessed yet. He thought maybe if the other party didn’t like him, this romance would end on its own, and his grandson’s thoughts would be cut off.

But he wanted to be prepared, so during the time they used to watch news and financial updates together, the Shaw Family started playing some dual male lead dramas.

Old Mrs. Shaw was quite puzzled, wondering what was wrong with her husband?

At such an old age, never liking TV shows, why suddenly the interest in dramas?

But once caught onto a story, as long as it was interesting, one would naturally enjoy watching.

Old Shaw sighed:

I need to subtly influence and gradually talk to the family about this.
