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 spinning?"
Anna was starting to feel worried, if she knew his alcohol tolerance level was so low, she wouldn't have poured him cup after cup.
"I’ll make you some lemon juice, you'll feel better.”
Liam wound his arm around her thin shoulders, hiding the smile behind his lips, and allowed himself t o be led by her to the lounge.
Liam rubbed his belly, "I’m so bloated, I'm in pain, help me...”
He grabbed her hand and placed it on his tummy, rubbing it gently.
"Who told you to force yourself? See, now you're suffering instead. Why did you eat so much if you know you can't?" Anna muttered scoldingly as she rubbed his tummy in soft, circular motions.
"How can I not eat the food you placed on my plate? Everyone was watching. If I didn't, it would seem like I didn't care about you, and they wouldn't..."
Anna covered his mouth with her palm, and glared at him with cold eyes, "You sure you don't have some evil trick hidden up your sleeve again?”
"You're an evil trick?" He asked her instead.
"Of course not!"
"I only want to hide you up my sleeve.”
U H
Liam grabbed her hand and pressed it tightly onto his lips.
Anna panicked and withdrew her hand hurriedly, at a loss of what to do next.
"Uhm... I’ll pour you a glass of water! Lie down on the sofa."
Anna stood to fetch the water, but he caught her wrist and tugged her backward with a pull of his arm. She lost her balance and fell straight on him.
Unfortunately, she fell on the wrong spot, pressing into his tummy, he grunted in pain.
"You're taking revenge on me!"
"I, I... I'm not!' She waved her hands in protest.
"You've grown so daring now! Have I been too kind to you recently?” He rumbled angrily.
"It was an accident!"
"You made me drunk, you forced me to eat all that food. You did it on purpose!" Liam was arguing with her like a little schoolboy, Anna laughed out loud.
"It's really an accident! I didn't know you would accept all of it. Okay, okay, I’ll pour you some water. You'll feel better." "No!"
Liam tugged at her again, "Massage me."
"What?"
"You don't want to?" Liam's threatening gaze swept across her face, and she admitted defeat.
"Fine, I'll do it."
Today was the day of the final assessment. No matter what happened, she had to keep going. If her points were deduced any further, she would lose her chance a t placing first.
Anna hurriedly placed both hands on his tummy and started rubbing gently.
