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

Chapter 313 Might Not Be a Bad Idea After All

Liam stood outside Nina's house for a long time, only turning to leave after ensuring the lights were turned o n in her house.

As he walked, his mind drifted to Anna, how she looked when she was angry, and how she tried her best to flatter him. He laughed and shook his head.

Her sincerity and love for her friend were admirable qualities.

But he still felt a little jealous.

Why didn't she care about him as much as she did her friend?

Even if it were only for one day, if he could be the person she cared about the most, that seemed to be a pretty good thing.

He lifted his head and looked at the first rays of sunshine peeking through the clouds.

Suddenly, he found himself looking forward to that day...

Nina returned home and started sobbing her eyes out.

Anna sat beside her, accompanying her friend with a single word, crying along with her.

Anna didn't know about what was said between Nina and Liam, she thought Nina was just crying because of the incident in the club.

"Nina, don't worry. With Mr. Ackman behind you, that man wouldn't dare trouble you anymore."

"Quit your job at the club, and stop going there. I've discussed it with Mr. Ackman. If you have any problems in the future, just talk to him. Even if he won't help you, he won’t just leave you to die."

Anna hugged Nina tightly in her arms, and decided, n o matter what problems her best friend faced in the future, she would share the burden with her.

She already had an agreement tying her to Liam, Nina was nothing compared to the trouble he brought her.

Nina cried for a little while more, sniffed, and said in a soft voice, "Mr. Ackman isn't all-powerful either... I don't want to trouble him. The one he likes is you, he’s only obligated to you alone."

"Who told you he likes me! He doesn't like me!" Anna was reminded of how he denied it every time this issue was brought up and an ache flashed through her heart.

She waved the negative emotions away and continued encouraging Nina.

"He is all-powerful! Even if he isn't, he is in comparison to the two of us! ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Just think about today, he just stood there and all our problems were solved! The man didn't even dare let

out a single peep!"

Anna remembered how in all the time she had known him, no matter what problem she faced. No matter how tough the situation became, as long he was there, they were all resolved with a wave of his hand.

That man...

Besides the fact that he didn't like her, he didn't have any other shortcomings, did he?

The perfect man that he is, he must have countless admirers?

But where did his heart actually lie?

"In this world, there’s only one man like him. Anna, you have to appreciate him." Nina wiped her eyes dry and said, her voice thick and raspy with use.

Anna pursed her lips and said nothing.

The only thing that tied them together was an agreement.

There was nothing to appreciate.

But thinking about it, forming an agreement with a man like him seemed to be quite a good idea.

At least she didn't lose out!

But she knew the agreement would come to an end one day.

By then, he wouldn't belong to her anymore.

Or more appropriately, he never belonged to her. He just needed her temporarily.

Then when he didn't need her anymore, who else would he need?

The ache in her heart increased, red rimming her eyes.

"Anna, what's wrong?" Nina could sense the change in Anna's emotions.

"No, nothing! The sun is up, why don’t you take a nap? You still have to go to the hospital. Don't cry, it’s all in the past! I can pretend I didn’t see anything, nothing happened.

We are best friends, you don’t have to feel ashamed. Friends are meant to understand and treasure each other, and not look down on or sneer at each other."

Nina enveloped Anna in her arms, voice stuffed with emotion, "Anna, I'm so glad I have you."

The incident in the nightclub was taken care of without leaving a single trace.

Nina quit her job at the club, and everyone promised there would be no rumors or murmurings about her.

Anna knew the master behind the scenes was Liam.

Tomorrow was the day they were scheduled to report for work at the Ackman Group.

The various incidents that occurred in the past few days were enough to last her a lifetime.

She was exhausted, to say the least.

First, she was tortured by Liam and didn’t sleep at all the whole night, then she accompanied him to the cruise ship party, then they went to the Earldom Club t o take revenge on Ryan, and then she met Nina...

Anna just wanted to go home and take a nap, and report to work at the Ackman Group in her best condition.

But alas, the heavens had their own plans.

"Oh, dear Anna, you didn't come home last night.”

Chloe approached her, studying her from head to toe." Why are you so tired? Where did you go to party last night?

I heard the cruise ship party ended at 1 am last night, even if it took you an hour to reach home, you should’ve been home by three, no?

It’s noon now, how are you only just coming home now?"

Anna suppressed the yawn that was fighting to break out of her, "Why are you busy poking your nose into m y life when you should be focusing on the baby?"

"It's like I want to keep track of your schedule, but this morning a few invitations came in the post for you. They're all invitations to parties, and millionaire parties at that!" Chloe said jealously.

“I wonder who you were with last night! The invitations have been drifting in like snowflakes!" Of course, Chloe didn't know the situation on the cruise ship last night.

Parties like those were usually kept top secret, even if they all hailed from the upper echelons of society, they were also further divided by class and prestige.

Based on the Hamilton's wealth and influence, they didn't even stand a chance at entering the deck of the ship.

Even the Dawsons didn't.

But even if Chloe asked her who she met at the party, the topics of conversation, Anna would have to say she didn't remember.

Because all the guests in the party were the big players in the industry, out of reach for her.

They just addressed her politely because of Liam.

And all of her concentration had been focused on Liam, and the mysterious 'her' the seductive woman mentioned.

"Now that you've landed Mr. Ackman, the world does look different." Chloe gritted her teeth, taking another step closer to her.

Anna laughed, "What is the point of this naked jealousy?"

"I’m jealous of you? Do you think the two of you will last? He's just having fun! Or he’s just using you as arm candy, don't you know he doesn't like women?"

Anna wanted to rebuke her words so badly.

Not only did Liam like women, but his lust also could never be satisfied.

But, she would never say that aloud.

She yawned tiredly, "You're right, I was so busy socializing last night, I'm exhausted.”

"Oh right, I met a president of a bank, President Lee, h e said someone bought a big insurance plan for a bracelet. That's weird, why would someone buy an insurance plan for a bracelet?" Anna could clearly see the moment Chloe's face turned pale.

Anna laughed softly, "Chloe, maybe you should focus o n the baby! Haven't you heard of the phrase ‘the brave die first'? And you, my dear sister, are too brave for your own good."

"All that you deserve, you have already enjoyed. Sometimes it’s better to stop when things are still going your way, don't you think?"

Anna stepped past Chloe and headed upstairs.

She knew Chloe and her mother had plans for the bracelet.

She didn't want to get involved in their issues, but if they continued forcing her hand, they had no one else to blame but themselves.
