Take Control of Yourself, Please novel (Anna and Liam) novel Chapter 257

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 a n 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 I oversleep throughout the day and night?"

"The school announced out of the blue that our rest day has been canceled, the final assessment will be held again! It's already 8.50 am, wake up, get dressed, and get over here! Points will be deducted if you're late!"

"Ah..."

Anna threw her phone to the sand, jumped down the bed, and rushed into the bathroom to clean herself up.

Anna ran all the way and reached just a few seconds before the clock struck at 9 am. She ran into the crowd and straightened her back.

Finch glanced at her wristwatch, when the second hand pointed towards 9, she announced loudly, "The students who are late will be disqualified."

The students moaned collectively and then sighed in relief, glad they weren’t late.

Anna patted her chest in relief, heaved out a long breath. Thank God she rushed here in time, if not she was as good as dead.

Nina elbowed her gingerly, "Anna, your hair is so messy, and one of your buttons is askew."

Anna sucked in a cold breath and hurriedly tucked her hair into place, hiding behind Nina and buttoned her shirt properly.

Finch cleared her throat, "Today is your final assessment, I will announce the test assessment now, pay attention."

"The third assessment is to work as a waiter for a day, a supervisor will inform you of your responsibilities, the points distribution is the same as the first assessment. Alright, go ahead and prepare yourselves."

The students whispered amongst themselves in discussion.

"What sort of assessments are these? The first assessment, serving customers in a hotel, the third assessment serving customers in a restaurant, only the second assessment makes sense.”

"Exactly! At least the second assessment tested our survival skills!"

"Great. Now we have to serve food and scrub plates at a restaurant!"

Everyone complained loudly and seemed to believe that the school set such assessments just to make a fool of them.

"Hang in there! We have one day left before we regain our freedom."

The crowd grumbled and headed towards the changing rooms to change.

Anna and Nina walked to the changing rooms together, Anna was still breathless, she asked Nina quietly, "all of you were notified, how come you were the one who notified me?"

"The school announced it in our class group, you didn't check your phone?”

"I was sleeping like a log; I didn't have time to check m y phone at all."

Nina glanced at her surroundings, and whispered, "I heard the sudden date change was Mr. Ackman's idea."

"What?!" Anna was pissed.

"Anna, don't get mad, Mr. Ackman is a busy man, the company is huge. I'm sure he has a lot of business matters to deal with, and yet he has to spend time supervising us. It only makes sense if he wants the assessment to end as soon as possible."
