Chapter 47 Impossible For Steve To Like Her
Michael's facial expression immediately changed when he realized that his condition is getting better, a wide smile appeared on his face, making James who was standing in front of him, look at Michael with a strange expression.
"Are you okay?" James asked when he saw Michael smile like a fool.
Michael's personality had been cheerful and sociable, but ever since he had become CEO of Collins, the man had turned cold and rarely smiled as he did now, making James wonder if there is something wrong with him.
"No, it's nothing," Michael cleared his throat then kept his expression back. It seemed that he was too happy earlier that he subconsciously didn't control his expression.
Michael then stood up and walked to a black leather chair behind a black table.
James looked at Michael intently as he walked over to his desk, in case Michael suddenly staggered or fainted again, but it seemed like Michael was fine.
Michael then took the report he had asked about earlier and read it, as if nothing had happened.
"Aren't you going back to work?" Michael asked, averting his eyes from the report he was reading and then looking at James who was now standing in front of his desk.
"Ah!" James immediately came to his senses when he heard those words. He'd been keeping an eye on Michael ever since.
"Then I'll excuse myself, sir," James replied then immediately turned and left the room.
As soon as James went out, Michael immediately let go of the report he was reading, and smiled widely again.
His condition is getting better!
Michael couldn't wait to share the good news with his wife. He then immediately took his cellphone and immediately looked for Sarah's contact to send the message.
[Wifey, I]
"I'd better tell her directly," Michael muttered, who immediately deleted the message he had typed, then put his cellphone back on the table.
Michael wished that time would pass quickly so he could share this news.

Sarah looked at Steve who was currently sitting in front of him while enjoying his sandwich voraciously.
Whereas previously Steve used to grumble by saying that he was tired of eating sandwiches, but whenever they had lunch together, they always ate sandwiches.
Remembering the first time Steve grumbled and complained when Sarah bought another sandwich for their next lunch and now the man was enjoying his sandwich, made Sarah involuntarily chuckle.
"What is it?" Steve asked when he noticed Sarah's sudden smile.
"It's nothing," Sarah replied, shaking her head and eating her sandwich.
"What is it? Why are you suddenly laughing like that?" Steve asked. Curious about what made the woman in front of her laugh like that.
Steve wanted to know.
Sarah swallowed the sandwich that was in her mouth, "I told you it was nothing," Sarah replied then took her drink and took a sip.
Steve snorted at that, then took his drink and took a sip.
Suddenly, Sarah remembered what happened earlier when she was talking to three nurses, and they thought that she and Steve had a relationship.
"Me and Steve? How can there be such a rumor," Sarah thought then shook her head. So far she and Steve were just friends.
Sarah's eyes subconsciously looked at Steve who was currently checking his cellphone.
Steve had a sharp nose, thick red lips, and his irises were as bright as the sky.
Although Sarah is not a woman who likes beards, Sarah must admit that Steve looks very handsome with a thin beard on his face. Somehow, it looks very sexy.
So how could Steve, such a handsome man, like her who was… a nobody?
It seemed so impossible!
So how come there are rumors she and Steve could be dating?
"Oh yeah, have you checked your schedule?" Steve asked suddenly then put his phone on the table and looked at Sarah.
"Even his voice is the type of voice that women like," Sarah thought when she heard Steve suddenly talking.
The man in front of her was too handsome! There was no way a man this handsome could like her!
If Steve had not chosen to be a doctor, Sarah believed he could easily become a model, or celebrity, and have a very beautiful girlfriend.
"Sarah?" Steve called then tapped the table in front of Sarah softly.
"Hah?" asked Sarah, who had woken up from her daydream.
"Is something bothering you?" Steve asked, raising an eyebrow, a worried expression on his face.
"No. What did you say earlier?" Sarah asked to change the subject.
She did want to discuss the rumors that were going on between the two of them, but it didn't seem like the time was right.
Steve then repeated his question.
"Ah, yes, I'm not on duty at night, I think I can accompany you," replied Sarah. 𝑓𝑟eℯ𝒘𝗲𝑏n𝑜𝚟𝙚𝒍.𝒄o𝐦
Steve nodded when he heard that, subconsciously his lips formed a smile at the thought of Sarah being able to accompany him.
"But I usually finish at eight, do we still have time to go to the reception?" Sarah asked in a doubtful voice.
She knew that they were going to the wedding reception, but she didn't know where and when the reception started.
"Don't worry. We don't have to come early, the most important thing is that I finally came, right?" Steve said with a smile.
"She should know that I'm very busy and understand if I come a little late. So it's okay to be late," Steve continued in a sneer voice.
Sarah could only shake her head at Steve's attitude, it seemed that he and Ellen had not broken up on good terms so Steve looked a little annoyed.
But… if that's the case, why did Ellen want to invite Steve to her wedding?
Sarah shook her head.
If she remarried, she would definitely invite Michael, to show that she had someone better than that bastard ex.
It seemed that was what Ellen was doing, and for some reason, Sarah could understand a little.
However… would it be okay for Steve to take her?
Well, even though she's just Steve's friend, but Steve wants to show that his partner that night is better than Ellen, right?
Sarah suddenly became hesitant to accompany Steve.

Sarah slapped her tense shoulder as she walked towards the hospital exit door. As usual, today was very tiring.
She seemed to have enjoyed her weekend too much to be exhausted like this.
"Ah! There he is."
Sarah subconsciously smiled when she could see Michael standing in his usual place.
Even though they lived nearby, Michael still wanted to pick her up.
At first, Sarah was annoyed because she needed some alone time, but it seemed she was getting used to having Michael waiting for her like this.
Somehow, it feels comfortable.
"Hey!" said Sarah, startling Michael while touching his arm.
Michael gasped, then immediately smiled when he saw Sarah chuckle at having managed to startle him.
"Let's go home," Michael replied and walked ahead as usual, followed by Sarah.
When they were out of the hospital area, Michael immediately held out his arm and Sarah immediately hugged him.
The two of them then walked in that position while looking at the stars in the sky.
"Are you tired?" Michael asked when he realized Sarah had hit herself in the shoulder several times with her hand.
"Ah! Yes, I think my shoulders are tense," said Sarah and stretched her left shoulder. 𝒇𝙧𝚎𝐞𝙬𝒆𝑏𝑛𝑜v𝚎𝒍.c𝑜m
"Do you want me to massage it?" asked Michael offering.
He still remembered that he used to massage Sarah who was tired.
"Oh! You want to do it?" Sarah asked in surprise, not expecting Michael to say such a thing.
Michael is a great masseuse and Sarah has always loved his massages, it feels like Michael has a gifted hand to do it.
However, back then her relationship with Michael was so strained that Sarah was too lazy to ask Michael to massage her, and Michael never offered it again.
"Okay, we can do it after dinner," Michael replied with a smile and then pressed the button for their private elevator.
Sarah nodded, can't wait to receive Michael's massage.
When they arrived at their apartment, Sarah immediately headed to the second floor, while Michael decided to go to the kitchen, serving their dinner that he had ordered beforehand.
"Wifey! The water in the bathtub is new water! I just filled it before I picked you up," Michael shouted from the kitchen before Sarah thought it was old water and threw it away.
"Okay," Sarah shouted.
Tonight she planned to take a shower because she was too lazy to wait for the water in the bathtub to fill up completely, but since the bathtub was ready, it looked like she was going to take a bath.
A few minutes later, Sarah finally came down with a fresh look.
She then immediately approached Michael who was sitting at the dining table holding his tablet, and their food which was already on the table.
It seemed like Michael was waiting for her.
"Did you enjoy the bath?" Michael asked putting down his tablet when he noticed Sarah's presence.
His face looked hopeful, expecting Sarah to compliment him on filling the tub with water.
Sarah chuckled at Michael's expression, then nodded her head. Michael smiled at that.
The two then enjoyed their dinner which was cooked by the chef who cooked their dinner the previous night.
After seeing how Sarah enjoyed the food made by the chef, Michael decided to hire the chef to make their dinner.
"Wifey!"
"Michael!"
The two of them spoke at the same time, it seemed that they both had something to say.
