Take Control of Yourself, Please novel (Anna and Liam) novel Chapter 271

Lobby of the Grand Lexus Hotel.

It was 5 pm, everyone had gathered on time.

All of them looked like they were wrung dry. They had dark and heavy eyebags, their breaths light and shallow. Most couldn't even stand steadily on their feet.

Anna was in much better shape than them, even though she lacked sleep too. At least she didn't feel like she was going to fall at any moment.

"Anna, you're good, how can you still be standing? I'm dying here." Nina yawned widely, pointing her thumb up at Anna.

Anna scratched her head awkwardly, she napped for a while in Liam's room, of course, she was in a better condition.

"Ah, uhm, Nina... are you ok? Did the customers pick o n you?"

Nina shook her head hurriedly, "She's so hard to please! A heartbroken woman is harder to please than an angry teacher! She tortured me, I tried everything, she even made me dance. In the end, I finished a bottle of wine with her and she finally went to sleep."

"Oh." "What about you, Anna? How was your customer?"

Anna scratched her head, "They were difficult too, I guess. As usual. Haha..."

"Oh.” Nina lay on Anna's side, "Let me lean on you for a second. Just a while, I need some shut-eye."

Jennifer looked to be in good shape, much better than the rest of them. She even smiled gleefully, looking pleased that she completed her tasks well.

Anna paid no attention to Jennifer. This made her feel like she was scorned so rushed to Anna and shouted," Anna, this time, the first place is mine!”

"The results haven’t been announced yet, don’t be so full of yourself."

"Just you wait and see!”

As Olivia Finch walked in, everyone quietened down.

But what surprised everyone was the person walking behind Olivia, a VVIP - Liam Ackman himself!

Everyone's hearts rose to their throats, their fatigue disappeared and everyone suddenly looked bright as a button.

Dressed in a black suit, Liam stood in a proud and elegant manner. Behind him, James Miller and Olivia Finch stood, on each side of him.

Nina tugged at Anna's sleeve, "Anna, it's Mr. Ackman, Mr. Ackman!"

"I can see him!” Anna glared at Liam, then shifted her gaze elsewhere.

"Anna, since Mr. Ackman is here, I think they are going to announce who won first place! I'm so nervous!” Nina's hands started shaking again.

Liam's cold gaze swept across the faces in the crowd, taking in their expressions. He motioned to James, and James hurriedly shouted out, "Quiet!"

The lobby was already silent but now it was so quiet they could almost hear the sounds of each other's breathing.

"The final results for the assessment including the additional assessment will be announced now!" Olivia Finch said loudly.

Everyone held their breath in anticipation.

"I will only announce the top three winners who will join the Ackman Group. People whose names I call, please step forward.”

"Nina Scott, Jennifer Wurst, Anna Hamilton!"

Nina trembled, light bursting in her eyes. She hurriedly dragged Anna and stepped forward.

Jennifer stole a glance at Anna, her expression solemn. Her heart raced nervously throughout the announcement.

They still didn't know who won first place, her or Anna.

Seeing as the top three spots were taken, their classmates displayed identical expressions of disappointment mixed with relief. In just a few short days of assessments, they felt like their skin had been ripped off. If they joined the Ackman Group, who knows what would be left of them?

Failing to join Ackman Group might be a good thing after all.

But now everyone was concerned about the winner. Who was it?

Olivia started her announcement, “Third place, Nina Scott, 70 points remaining."

"Yay! That's great!"

Nina danced around in excitement. Her big, bright eyes filled with tears. Her arm that was holding onto Anna's trembled unconsciously from excitement.
