Hello, There is not need to ever acknowledge a message to expedite anything. However, it the event that Michelle misunderstood you initial command to make a turn to heading 155, then simply re-issue the "make the heading 155" to Michelle. NOTE: Michelle is always supposed to confirm your heading alteration by saying (in this case)... "155".
