Liam’s thin lips curled up into a charming smile.Anna fell into a trance as she gazed at his handsome face that was full of smiles.Why did that man have to smile at her so beautifully? Did he not know that a handsome man’s smile was incredibly lethal? Especially when shown in front of a woman that liked him!Anna clutched the lace sleepwear in her hands and stammered, “Uh… Have dinner! Otherwise, the food will go cold. I even poured you a glass of red wine. Do… do have a glass.”Liam found her flustered manner quite amusing. When he gazed at the four dishes and the soup on the table, the corner of his eyes could not help but twitch.That little lady had prepared a table full of dishes that were rumored to boost libido!Mutton stew, shrimps, oysters, even lamb kidney… Every single dish would greatly improve a man’s blood flow.Along with the red wine, it was truly a feast for a studhorse!“Looks like you’re very excited.” An odd look flashed across Liam’s eyes.“Excited for w
Anna woke up early in the morning to prepare the ingredients.Liam had already specified that his breakfast had to be cooked with her own hands. Anna had hoped to earn some marks so that she would not come in last during the result announcement at ten o’clock.Anna was crying internally without tears. In school, she had never been troubled by any homework. Moreover, she did not care that much about her marks either. Even when others called her a geek or a genius, she just smiled and did not think much about it.However, at that moment, every single mark was her lifeline!“I can’t let him look down on me! I have to earn back my marks! I have to satisfy him and show him I deserve them!”Anna grabbed the ingredients and carefully entered room 3901.The sun was just rising. The curtains covered the windows, leaving the room dim. The tranquil air evoked a subtle feeling in her heart.Liam was probably still asleep. There was only silence within the four walls, with an exception of th
When Anna saw Liam approaching her, she widened her eyes in fear and took several steps backward.“Umm… It doesn't taste good… I-I… I’m raw… You can’t eat me…“Mmm…”Liam pulled her into his arms and kissed her, stuffing up her tiny mouth.Anna wanted to struggle against him, yet she had no idea where to put her hands. At last, she could only stand stiffly at the spot as he had his way with her.After a long while, he finally let her go. His voice turned exceedingly hoarse.“Enduring it is torture.”Anna’s whole body trembled. She gazed at him with hazy eyes. In truth, she was also feeling a little agony.Even so…She had to retain her last shred of conscience and continue resisting him. This was an assessment; she was doing an exam. Something like that should not be happening between them! Even if no one would know, Anna would still have a guilty conscience and always feel as if she was doing something wrong.“Uh… The assessment results will be announced at ten o’clock. It
On the first-floor lobby of the Grand Lexus Hotel.The students had all gathered there—some with smiles on their faces while others with expressions of despair.When Nina saw Anna, she hurriedly ran over to her. Her heart ached when she saw the gauze wrapped around Anna’s hands.“Anna, did Mr. Ackman make things difficult for you again? How did this happen?”Anna retracted her hands and smiled. “I’m fine! He didn’t make things difficult for me. It was my carelessness that got me injured.”Liam’s constant lectures were slowly making her spit lies out of her mouth.Urgh!That deceitful, two-faced man!He wanted to take advantage of her yet somehow made her willingly accept. He truly was commendable.“Mr. Ackman is horrible. How is this not considered making your life difficult?” Nina grumbled softly as she held Anna’s dainty hands sympathetically.Jennifer marched over to her arrogantly. A vibrant smile bloomed on her face when she saw the sorry state that Anna’s hands were in.
Anna yelled in horror. She frantically grabbed a towel and covered her wristband with it.After sloppily wiping herself dry and putting on her pajamas, she ran out of the bathroom.She checked the doors and windows, then meticulously made sure the curtains were closed tightly. She took off the wristband in haste and stuffed it into a drawer. Finally, Anna could let out a sigh of relief.Just then, her phone chimed again.She hurriedly grabbed her phone. It was a message from Charles.Her wristband was linked to her phone. The messages that she could read just now were all automatically sent to her wristband. Anna reckoned that it was probably not a problem with the wristband.The main problem must have stemmed from her phone.[What are you trying to cover? I’ve already seen everything.]Anna was enraged. She quickly replied to his message.[Who are you? What the hell do you want?]Charles did not reply even after a long time.Anna gazed at her wrist which always had the wris
Anna and Nina sat on a bench on the street with dazed expressions.“Anna, have you got any ideas? I can’t think straight right now. All I can think of is buying lottery tickets with this hundred dollars,” said Nina.Anna pinched Nina’s cheeks. “Sounds great. When you win ten thousand dollars, give me half of it and our job here will be done.”“Hehe… If I win ten million, I’ll give you five million. With the other five million, I’ll leave right away and bring my mother to the best hospital for her illness. Who would want to stay here and suffer!”Hearing her casual tone made Anna’s heart ache. “Is your mother’s condition serious?”Nina’s eyes grew dim for a second. Then, she smiled and assured Anna, “No, her condition is very stable right now. It’s already under control. She doesn’t have frequent fits anymore.“Enough about that! Let’s discuss how we are supposed to make money.“The other students have all dispersed. They are all our rivals now. We have to make good use of our pr
Ethan Collins…Anna gazed at his charming face. For some unknown reason, Anna felt that she had seen him before. “Your last name is Collins too?”Ethan chuckled. “Have we met before?”“No! Not at all.” Anna hurriedly shook her head.Anna could not remember ever meeting a prince as gentle and as cultured as him.Ethan chuckled again. His eyes were as clear and bright as the moon. “I don’t believe we’ve met either. Now, let’s talk business. Are you here to work as designers? Or to sell design templates?”Nina gently tugged on Anna and whispered, “Anna, even his voice is so soothing. It’s like a breeze on a summer day. Warm and gentle…”Anna nodded awkwardly. She cleared her throat and spoke in a serious tone.“We would like to sell some of our designs. We’ve already brought the templates here.” Anna quickly took out a flash drive from her bag.Ethan received the flash drive from her. He gazed at Anna, still maintaining a tender smile on his lips.“I shall go through your design
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
