Take Control of Yourself, Please novel (Anna and Liam) novel Chapter 278

Want him gone?

Who?

Anna stared at Liam's back unblinkingly, a boneharrowing chill emanating from him.

Gone, did that mean he wanted him dead?

Fear crept into her heart unbidden.

Liam tucked his phone back into his pocket, turned and saw Anna's pale face, and frowned.

"What's wrong?”

Anna startled, and shook her head, buried her head in her plate, and continued eating, "No... nothing! Let’s eat, let’s eat."

However hard she tried to pretend like nothing was wrong, her heart raced, making her fearful and uneasy.

She couldn't stop her hands from shivering. It was now hard for her to hold her cutlery. She put them down and said to him softly.

"Uhm... murder is illegal."

Liam frowned, "What murder?"

"Uhm, that..." Anna looked at his phone.

Understanding dawned on Liam but he merely smiled slyly, "Then you have no choice but to be with a

murderer." "Can you be more serious? I'm trying to have a serious conversation with you."

"I'm serious too." Liam’s expression darkened.

"But you can’t..."

"It's not what you think, alright? Eat." He didn’t want t o argue with her on this, commanding tone not allowing any space for disagreement.

Anna wet her lips, and said carefully, "It’s really not what I think it is?"

"Are you worried about me?"

"Of course..." She paused and hurriedly corrected herself, "I know you after all! Even though we are bound by contract, at least we’re still friends."

Liam swept his eyes across her face unhappily, "At least you know where you stand."

Anna was displeased too and buried her head in her food.

The both of them said nothing.

After breakfast, Anna stood up to leave, but Liam rapped his knuckles on the table.

“I just complimented you for knowing your place, and now you forget?"

Anna cocked her head to the side and looked at the dining table, "You don't have a maid?"

"Why would I hire one?" Liam hinted at her with his eyes.

"I’m not your maid!"

"I'm a businessman, if I can get something for free, why would I pay extra?" Liam sat back in his chair lazily.

"I don't have a reason to be your maid!" Anna held her hands out in front of her in protest.

"The agreement says that you need to act according to my wishes, now my wish is to have a maid."

Anna started gritting her teeth again.

"Remember, a year later, once the agreement is completed, I will give you everything you want." Liam crossed his arms across his chest, acting all high and mighty.

Anna clenched her fists as she forced a bright smile onto her face and tolerated his bratty behavior.

"Sure! Mr. Ackman, I'll clear the table now."

Liam nodded, "I'm sure you're familiar with this now after the third assessment. You won't break any of my plates, will you?"

Anna was so angry her blood boiled, "Mr. Ackman, sure enough, you designed the assessment topic with me in mind!"

"Of course! Because you and I share a special relationship." Liam raised his eyebrows gleefully.

Anna brought the plates into the kitchen and threw them into the sink, causing a loud clanking noise.

Liam's voice drifted in from the dining room, "I enjoy peace and quiet. Keep it down."

"A.l.l.r.i.g.h.t." Anna gritted her teeth.

Liam's voice drifted in again. "Remember to put on gloves when you wash the dishes, I don't like rough hands. They're not comfortable to touch."

"Sure!”
