“What photos?” Anna was confused.Jennifer screamed in fury, “Anna Hamilton, don’t play dumb in front of me!”Anna finally realized, “You’re talking about the photos of you modeling as a chest model?”“Where did the photos come from? The advertising company promised to keep it a secret! Besides, originals like this would never be circulated to the public!” Jennifer glared at Anna like she wanted to kill her if she could.Anna laughed, “That’s true, you’re the pearl of the Wurst family, if the photos were circulated, you’d be ruined!”“That’s right, everyone will be thinking whether your family has fallen? For you to take on work like this to earn money.” Nina added. “Anna Hamilton, where did the photos come from?!” Jennifer shouted in anger.“Shush, lower your voice, people might hear you. You’re the one who’ll be embarrassed, I don’t mind at all.” Anna faked concern and put her finger on her lips in a shushing motion. Jennifer was about to explode at any minute.“You’re still not ans
Anna arrived at Fitzrovia Hills on time at 5 pm, Liam’s mansion.Even though she didn’t know what he wanted this time, but it was all for the best. She had something she wanted to say to him.When she rang his doorbell, she was initially worried he would eat her up like dessert but after the past few days, she wasn’t so worried anymore.He seemed to defy her expectations; he didn’t just want her to fulfill his physical needs.Unexpectedly, the door to the mansion was merely pushed closed and opened with a light touch. She entered the mansion to find the room completely quiet. There was no noise at all, only the sunlight filtered through the windows and landed on the black floorboards, reflecting warmth.She called out quietly. “Mr. Ackman?”There was no reply.She walked further inside, “Mr. Ackman?”Once again, there was no reply.When she was approaching the bedroom, the door behind her slammed shut, and she was enveloped in a hug from behind. Immediately a cool kiss landed on her
Anna was determined to go against Liam.Liam pointed at his cheek innocently and said, “You kissed me, you must take responsibility.”Anna almost vomited blood, “I’ve been kissed by you countless times, why don’t you take responsibility?”“I did!”“When? Where? I didn’t see you doing so!”“You’re so heartless, what can you see!”“Hmph! Excuses!” Anna pursed her lips, turning her face to the side.Liam stared at her full, pursed lips, and swallowed, “If you do this again, I…”Anna could feel the changes in his body, she hurriedly changed her expression and said to him sternly, “I’m serious! I want to use my own abilities, and gain my rightful place as number one! I don’t want anyone thinking I cheated and took the easy way out; I also don’t want to feel any traces of guilt when I finally make it.”“Besides…” Anna lowered her eyes, long lashes fluttering, “The reward I got this time, I didn’t win fair and square. Although the proposal that was approved in the end was a completely new ide
Early the next morning, Anna was once again rudely awakened by her ringing phone.She was fast asleep, initially planning to sleep as long as possible on her rest day. She cursed the person who disturbed the sweet dreams and so her tone when she picked up the call was rude and angry. “Who the hell is it? What do you want, calling at such an ungodly hour!”“Anna, how can you still be sleeping! Get up, the assembly is at 9 am!” Nina’s anxious voice sounded from the other side of the phone.“What nonsense are you saying? Today is our rest day!”“They changed the date all of a sudden, the final assessment is being held today!”“What?”Anna raised her leg and kicked at the space beside her thinking she would kick Liam, but instead, there was nothing beside her but pillows and blankets. Liam was nowhere to be seen.Anna sat up immediately, the space beside her was empty. She rubbed her eyes sleepily, “Nina, you’re sure I didn’t hear you wrongly?”“No!”“But isn’t today our rest day, or did
Anna froze at the entrance to the VIP room.Why was he here!No wonder it was so quiet. With this legend here, no one dared sound a peep. Especially since he looked like he was ready to kill.Anna looked at his handsome yet cold face, and lifted her lips awkwardly, whispering under her breath, “Eating lunch at 4 in the afternoon, it fits the actions of a weirdo like you.”Liam raised his eyebrows. “What did you say?”Anna felt goosebumps rise on her back, and she smiled hurriedly, “I was asking what everyone would like to order!”Liam glanced at her out of the corners of his eyes, “There’s five of us, we prefer mild flavors. You decide accordingly, hurry up!”Anna nodded quietly, what a difficult order!Was he testing her again?That evil bastard!Anna left the room, rushed to the kitchen to place her order, requesting the chefs to decide on the appropriate dishes.The moment the chefs heard Liam was there, they focused all their energy on deciding which dishes to make. After an intens
Liam saw the flash of cunning light that shone through her eyes. Her thin lips were curling up into a slight smile making him curious as to what the little woman had planned.Anna raised the wine glass, looked around at the suited yet dirty-minded businessmen around the table, smiled, and said gently, “Thank you for your advice. I should really serve Mr. Ackman well, I didn’t know this restaurant also belonged to the Ackman Group. Mr. Ackman’s business ventures are really well-spread throughout the city! And at such speed!”Liam only just arrived in Johannes City, and he had already started extending his influence towards the different business sectors in the city. Did he plan on becoming the unrivaled leader of the business world?Even though Anna was furious, she had to admit that since the day he returned, he had quickly risen to claim the top seat among the upper echelons of society. Everyone in the room raised their glasses in a toast, each giving her their own piece of advice,
Anna helped Liam out of the room. His body wavered, and he leaned his entire body weight on her. “Hey!”Anna almost fell, she hurriedly supported him with her strength.Liam put his hand on his head, “I think I’m drunk, and even…”He pressed his body into hers even further, looking at her with indecipherable eyes.“Bloated.”Anna almost laughed out loud, but she held her laughter in, and asked him professionally, “Mr. Ackman, how could you feel bloated?”Liam’s gaze darkened, the glare in his eyes looked like he wanted to stab her with a knife, Anna hurriedly changed her expression, afraid.“Mr. Ackman, I’ll send you to the lounge to rest! Make sure to rest well, if not your body can’t take it.”Liam wavered on his feet again, almost resting his body on her. Because of the additional weight, she almost fell flat on the floor.“Are you sure you’re drunk? You can’t walk yourself?” She painstakingly supported his body weight with hers.He shook his head, “I’m dizzy, why is the ceiling sp
Anna heard her supervisor’s infuriated roar and hurriedly pushed Liam away.“I’m dead, I’m dead, he’ll definitely hold this against me!”Anna hurriedly tucked her clothes into place, and charged out of the lounge without giving him a chance to stop her…Liam punched the sofa furiously. “Damn it!”He pulled at his collar furiously while panting deeply, his body still heated like a furnace. He hurriedly poured himself a glass of ice water and emptied it with a gulp.His stomach wasn’t feeling very well to begin with, but with the ice-cold cup of water, he started to feel sick.He punched in her number on his phone, “Come back right now!”She heard his enraged shout over the phone and shivered in fear, but considering the circumstances. She weighed her options and decided that staying on her supervisor’s good side was the wisest option.As they said, the devil’s lackeys are harder to deal with than Satan himself.She could think of a way to settle Liam and his raging fury and persuade him
