Take Control of Yourself, Please novel (Anna and Liam)

Chapter 241 You're So Funny

The office of the CEO of Ackman Skyhigh Group.

Liam closed his laptop, and asked mindlessly, "How did the assessment go today?”

James Miller bowed his head slightly and reported respectfully, "Those rich girls have been living like princesses their whole lives, after a day, all of them complained non-stop, a few even gave up."

"Most of them are plowing forward, but none made a profit after a day."

Liam lifted his eyes slowly and stared at James without blinking, making him uncomfortable.

"Mr... Mr. Ackman, why are you staring at me?" James wiped his face hurriedly.

Liam's gaze turned ice-cold, James shivered, then realized what he wanted and rushed to report.

"Today, Hamilton..." James wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, corrected himself, and continued.

"Today Ms. Hamilton and Nina Scott were trying to find an advertising design company to buy their designs, but they were rejected by all potential clients."

"Rejected?" Liam’s expression darkened, how dare someone reject his woman's request!

"Mr. Ackman, in this industry, all that matters is your fame and experience, they lack the necessary experience, and both are newcomers who haven't even graduated from university, it's normal for them t o be rejected."

Liam's eyes turned dark, "You know what to do."

"Yes, Sir."

Since those companies dared to reject what belonged t o his woman, they didn't deserve to exist!

"So, she didn't get anything done today?" Liam muttered under his breath.

"Well, not exactly, in the end, they visited an advertising design company called SN, apparently the company ordered a design from them, they’ll be paid i f they do well."

"SN?" Liam furrowed his brows.

“Check out the company, and I want to know who bought her design, try to transfer the design to our company."

"Yes, sir, are you trying to help Ms. Hamilton?" James asked.

Liam scoffed, "help her? Hah...why should I help her?"

James wiped the droplets of sweat off his forehead again, it was getting harder and harder to understand Liam.

"Also, Sir, someone seems to be supporting Jennifer

Wurst behind the scenes, should I..."

"Look into it, keep a close eye on her. As for everything else, just follow the plan."

"Yes.”

The next morning, Anna and Nina both arrived at SN ready to report to work.

They had studied the criteria for the design yesterday, and after debating about it the entire night, finally decided on the initial design.

Anna handed her design to Ethan Collins. After studying it, he nodded approvingly.

"The both of you are indeed talented! Your creative ideas and the accompanying text perfectly showcase the features of the product."

Anna and Nina gazed at each other and smiled.

Ethan approved their design and ordered them to start work on the sample.

Seeing as their proposal was accepted, Anna and Nina were delighted, their nervous hearts finally settled down in their chests, and hurriedly buried themselves in their work.

Anna's eyes had yet to heal completely and it was difficult to control the mouse so Nina took over, with Anna directing her from the side.

"Nina, edit this part slightly, I don't want the scene to

move too fast."

"Ok, ok, Anna, I think we're the perfect partners! But it would be even better if we had a cup of coffee! Hah..." Nina said while opening her mouth in a yawn.

Anna flicked her forehead, and hurried to the pantry, and poured her a cup.

"How is it? Is it going well?"

Ethan's voice rang behind her, and she jumped up in shock, nearly spilling the coffee in her hands.

"Are you ok? Did you burn yourself?" Ethan looked worried.

Anna shook her head hurriedly, "No, no, thank you, Mr. Collins."

“Thank me? For scaring you just now?" Ethan held his coffee, taking small sips elegantly, and joked warmly.

Anna laughed out loud, "I didn't know you're so funny, Mr. Collins."

"In fact, I'm very strict and harsh!" Ethan lowered his voice, expression solemn.

Anna froze and was suddenly reminded of Liam.

No matter how strict or harsh Ethan was, he was nothing compared to Liam, that monster!

Ethan noticed her dazed expression and waved his hand in front of her eyes.

"What are you thinking about?"

Anna was startled back to reality, and rushed to thank him, "Thank you, Mr. Collins, if you didn't give me and Nina a chance, we would still be worried about earning a profit to complete the graduation assessment."

"Addressing me as Sir, as if I'm an old man." Ethan set down the cup of coffee in his hands, smiling warmly. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Anna’s pale face flushed, and she scratched her head i n embarrassment.

Ethan looked at her, cheeks flushed pink, and was dazed for a moment as if a feather had just brushed through his chest.

Immediately, he looked towards Anna's injured hand.

"I've always wanted to ask you, what happened to your hand? How can a designer’s hand be hurt like this?"

"No... Nothing! I accidentally burned myself!” Anna looked at the gauze covering her wound and was reminded of how Liam gently applied medicine on it, the blush on her cheeks deepening unconsciously.

And then, her heart ached for no reason.

If only Liam was always this gentle and friendly towards her like Ethan.

But the thought of cold-faced Liam turning into a gentle warm soul was terrifying.

Anna shivered at the thought, "I’ll get back to work now."

With that, she ran out of the pantry.

Ethan stared at her retreating back, lips curling up into a smile, "She's as cute as my sister."

Outside the pantry, two staff members who were watching Ethan and Anna's interactions muttered between themselves.

"What’s up with Mr. Collins?"

“How can he be so nice and friendly to a newcomer? He's completely different from the strict attitude he displays when he's with us!"

"Don't you know? That's Anna Hamilton! The successor of the Lincoln Group, daughter of the Hamilton Family."

"What? It’s really her?"

"Tsk tsk, she has a strong background, no wonder Mr. Collins favors her so much!"

“Family background is so important."

Anna and Nina focused all their effort on their work, they were going to try their best for this assessment.

"We’ll work through the night to produce the samples a s fast as possible. Tomorrow is the last day, so we have time if we need to correct any mistakes. This time, we must get paid!" Anna said, full of vigor.

"To get first place, so you don’t lose 50 million and be a slave for a year, let's do our best!" Nina curled her fingers into a fist and waved them about in the air.

"Don't tell me you’re Jamie's little babe?"

"Eat shit, Anna Hamilton!" Nina curled her fists in anger.

"You eat it!"

"No, you eat it, you eat it!"

"Haha..."

Right at this moment, Ethan walked briskly towards them and said, "I have some bad news to tell you."
