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

Chapter 53 The More You Struggle, The More Excited I Become

Anna pretended not to hear him and continued to walk out.

"Come back here!"

Liam was furious and his voice rumbled so loudly that it would strike fear into anyone's heart.

Even though Anna still wanted to escape, she did not have the guts to take another step. In the end, she was forced to turn back slowly. With her back still facing Liam and James, she cautiously sat down on the sofa.

Once Liam saw that she had returned, his expression seemed to soften.

James’ palm was full of sweat. He finally understood that Mr. Ackman's lifeline was in Miss Hamilton's hands.

Liam looked towards James and flipped a switch to his professional self, "What’s the update on the work that I assigned to you?”

He should have returned to the company to review the contract. However, since Anna was here, he could not bear to leave.

James rushed to give his report, "Although the undercurrents in the domestic economy are surging, everything is running smoothly. As per your request, I have organized for the board meeting to be held in two days and have notified all the relevant parties.”

"The shareholders at the previous meeting have agreed to our terms after they received the appropriate benefits."

"The agreement is going too smoothly. This is a problem. Keep a close eye on them. Report to me at once if anything happens," said Liam in a stern tone.

"Yes, there's another matter. Your mother..." James' voice slowly trailed off. He looked at Anna out of the corner of his eye.

Liam's gaze darkened. He nodded and said, "We'll talk about this later."

"Yes, sir."

Anna looked at Liam and James suspiciously. Why did they need to hide this from her? What was up with Liam's mother? That would be Madam Ackman. She was also referred to as the First Lady by the people.

Humph!

Anna rolled her eyes angrily. She thought that he had asked her to stay because he did not consider her an outsider. It turned out that her emotions had betrayed her once again!

Liam looked up slightly and noticed Anna rolling her eyes. Even though he did not know what she was angry about, he thought that her furious expression was extremely adorable causing the corners of his lips to curve up slightly.

James was shocked when he saw his boss smiling. There was even tenderness in his eyes!

This was the first time that James had seen his boss smiling so warmly. It was extremely unlike his usual cold, indifferent expression. Even if he smiled, it was just a cold formulaic response.

James secretly wondered if this meant that from now on if his boss was ever in a rage, he might be able to bring Miss Hamilton out to calm him down.

James continued with his update, "Lastly, the shareholders have not agreed to the prize for the first- place winner in this internship project with the University of Johannes.”

Liam scoffed and shifted into a deceptively, languid pose.

"So they don't agree to it? I was not asking for their permission, I was merely informing them of my decision."

Liam accepted the file that James handed over to him and began to read it intently.

Anna observed Liam out of the corner of her eyes.

This man was extremely domineering! This was the power of the rich!

If a woman with brains was the most attractive, then a n authoritative man at work had the most charm.

Anna watched Liam as he worked before her. His

thoughts were focused as he strategized. His demeanor made him appear like a king, a ruler of all beings. She hoped that when she took over the Lincoln Group, she would be able to exude such confident authority.

When she thought about the impending responsibility and mission, considering how weak her abilities currently were, her eyes darkened.

Liam picked up a pen and wrote with a flourish. He then tossed the file back at James. James quickly left, bowing respectfully as he held the file in his hands.

"What happened?"

Liam's husky and magnetic voice suddenly rang out beside Anna's ear. Only then did she return to her senses. She realized with a start that she and Liam were the only ones left in the office. James had already left and had the awareness to shut the door behind him.

Anna rushed to her feet. "Umm... I have to revise. I'm going to head off first. You're busy."

Liam's towering figure blocked Anna’s way out. He stood with his back against the light. The glow of the setting sun scattered across his figure, coating him in a layer of golden brilliance.

He saw the dejection in her eyes and asked, "Are you disappointed because I didn’t manage to give it to you earlier?" "Huh?" Anna was stunned. She did not really understand his meaning.

Liam's hand slid across the curve of her hips and continued to slide downwards.

She was shocked and quickly caught his large hand." Watch your behavior, Mr. Ackman!”

Liam nodded his head and said in a satisfied tone," Calling me that is much better than 'uncle'."

Anna rolled her eyes and shoved his large hands away. She curtsied and said formally, "I'll take my leave now, Mr. Ackman.”

This woman! She needed to be taught a good lesson since she clearly did not recognize her status.

Liam slowly turned his head and watched her lively figure. Her long hair swayed gently with her movements, looking like a ray of sunshine. It made his heart melt.

Anna hurried to open the door but realized that the door could not be opened. Liam smirked and shifted t o walk slowly towards her.

"What's wrong? Is the door lock broken?"

Anna turned back to glare at him angrily. "Hurry up and open the door."

Liam held his hands up in a helpless gesture. "If you're unable to open it, I won't be able to open it either.”

"Don’t pretend to be clueless!" Anna was certain of this. "You must have done something to the door lock!” Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Liam knit his eyebrows together. "All I want to do is to' do something’ to you."

Liam stretched out his long arms and gently pulled her into his arms. His large palm started to move restlessly.

Anna struggled against it with all her might.

"You clearly submitted already earlier!" said Liam with a half-smile.

"My brain was confused before but I am in the right mind now!"

"In that case, let's confuse your brain once again!" Liam picked her up and carried her sideways, returning to the soft sofa.

Anna was about to go out of her mind. Why did she have no say when she was faced with him? Why did she have to cater to his every whim?

Anna struggled to crush his large hand with her butt t o stop him from doing anything untoward. Liam’s movements came to a halt.

"Your butt is crushing my hand," he said.

"That's right! Let’s see if you still dare to do anything crazy!" said Anna as she used more force.

"It's very bouncy. I like it.” Liam smirked and grabbed i t forcefully with his large palm.

"Ah!" Anna Felt like she was about to go crazy. She opened her mouth and tried to bite him. However, he easily avoided her attack. However, the embers in his eyes instantly blossomed to become two fiery conflagrations.

"Little one, the more you struggle, the more excited I become."

Anna flushed with embarrassment. If she did not struggle, that would be that he had already succeeded!

She suddenly felt as though she was an extremely pitiful person. Whether she struggled before him or not, the result would always be the same in the end. H e would devour her completely.

However, this time, she would not allow him to do such an outrageous thing to her at her university!

Anna squeezed her eyes shut. Her entire body tensed u p as she took a deep breath.

"Liam Ackman, you have better let me go. Otherwise, I'm going to scream and let everyone find out. That will do your reputation no favors."

Liam looked at her with a smile. Her long lashes fluttered just like the wings of a butterfly. It was enchanting.

"Usually, when women shut their eyes, it means that they're waiting to be kissed."

"..." Anna rushed to open her eyes. When she did, she realized that all the buttons on her had been undone...
