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
Liam roared in fury; Anna hurriedly squeezed her eyes shut in fear.“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I was just curious, so I thought to ask you.”She was indeed very curious because everything that he did could not be explained logically at all.Usually, companies decide whether to hire staff based on professional and technical considerations. Among the three parts of the assessment that Liam set, only the second portion which tested them on their survival skills was acceptable, the first and the third portion was about the service industry, finding a link between the two was indeed difficult.“You’re right! I used my influence to fulfill my private desires!” Flames of anger roared through the depths of his eyes, lighting them ablaze. “Anna Hamilton, you are the first person who dared to talk back to me like this! You are also the first to go against me!”“Even if I did use my power for personal gain, what can you do!”“…”Anna was speechless.There was indeed nothing she could do, but she nev
Finch entered the room, and everyone stood in neat, orderly rows while holding their breaths.Nina grabbed Anna’s hand; she was shivering! “Anna, it’s time for the results, are you nervous?”Instead, Anna was indifferent now.“I’ve lost for sure, so I’m not afraid anymore.” “Anna? What are you saying? In the first assessment, even though you lost a lot of points, but you gained them all back in the second assessment. You did well today, our supervisor and the manager even complimented you!”Anna remained quiet, but she knew that following her quarrel with Liam, he would never let her off the hook so easily.She was definitely going to lose.Anna bowed her head, hands clasped together tightly. She felt agitated yet helpless.Finch’s eyes swept across the crowd, and said coldly, “This time, Ms. Wurst performed very well! Outstanding.” The crowd exploded.“It’s all over, this means Jennifer got first place! She can now join the Ackman Group.”“I thought Anna performed well? Why did she
“No!I don’t want to apologize to him!” Anna insisted.“I said my piece. If I went back to apologize to him now, I will only lose more of my pride. He will end up looking down and disrespecting me even further!”Nina shook her head, “Anna, you pay so much attention to how he feels about you because you care about him too much.”“If it was someone else, you wouldn’t be so determined."Anna lowered her head, her long eyelashes hiding the tears at the bottom of her eyes.“So what? I’m nothing but a pet to him.”“Anna, you must be clear, a master’s love towards his pet is also another form of love. Besides, you must decide whether you want to be his pet for a few days, or a lifetime.”Anna opened her mouth but swallowed the words.Of course, she wanted to be his forever.But… “No matter what, I will never apologize to him!”Anna still couldn’t forgo her pride and took a taxi home. When she arrived, she found that Chloe and Nicole were acting up again.“I heard the Ackman Group has very hi
Anna was fast asleep when she was rudely awakened by the ringing of her phone.She swiped open her phone and took a look, it was the school group. There were already more than a hundred unread messages with new ones popping up every second.“It’s already 1 am, aren’t these people tired? Don’t they need their sleep?” Anna rubbed her eyes sleepily, scrolling through her unread messages carelessly, “The wealthy brat is giving out money again! No wonder everyone is so excited.”Anna was still sleepy so she couldn’t read through all their messages. She only knew to click on the links that brought her to a website displaying the amount of money she won.With a click, she was shocked awake, all traces of sleep leaving her brain.“Oh my gosh! One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand…”“One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand…”Anna pointed at the endless number of 0s, and counted them one by one, finally she was sure, she won a 50,000-dollar lucky draw!52,000! Anna got so excited she did
