Take Control of Yourself, Please novel (Anna and Liam) novel Chapter 308

Anna knew Liam must be hiding some problems from her.

If not, why would someone like him, who hardly drank, suddenly want to have a drink?

James drove the car back to the city and stopped in front of a bar.

Anna followed him and stepped out of the elevator on the ninth floor.

Looking at the lights shining red and green in the darkness, she was reminded of when she first met him. It was also in a bar like this, she was enveloped i n a drunken haze, she was lost in the moment and...

She studied him subtly, her cheeks heating.

Liam didn't look at her, dark gaze intense and focused as if looking for something.

Anna also turned and studied her surroundings; she suddenly realized the decor looked familiar and was startled.

Liam brought her to the pub where Nina used to work part time, the Earldom Club.

The floors were divided according to the customers' spending ability.

This was the ninth floor, the most expensive floor in the Earldom Club.

Anna grew cautious because ever since she stepped foot into the place, both men and women studied her with curious and unfriendly gazes.

Even though the ninth floor on the Earldom Club was decorated luxuriously, it was obvious from the barely-dressed waitresses that it wasn't someplace formal.

Anna was wearing a body-hugging ball gown which was out of place in the club. Even though she looked elegant, and she was walking behind a man, she couldn't blame them for thinking otherwise.

Liam walked deep into the club.

The waiters rushed to lead him to a room.

The room was filled with noise, crowded with unsightly men and women.

Anna was shocked by the unseemly sight, wondering i f Liam led her to the wrong room.

But Liam stood there like a mountain, stern and unmoving.

A pair of cold eyes shot daggers of ice as they gazed into the crowd.

The men and women in the room realized someone new broke into their room and immediately turned quiet.

One of them cursed out loud, "Who the fuck spoiled m y fun!"

When everyone caught a clear look at the man at the entrance, the only sound left in the room was the beat of the blaring music.

Everyone froze.

Even Anna froze!

Because she saw Ryan Sanchez!

He was holding two beautiful women against him, happily engaged in his raunchy game, he immediately extracted his hands, staring at Anna in panic.

The panic wasn't caused by guilt, they weren't involved in any kind of relationship at all.

But due to the incident between them, just when everyone thought the matter had passed, Anna appeared in front of him with Liam by her side.

If she didn’t see Ryan again, she would have completely forgotten about that drunken and befuddling night.

She almost forgot the pain she went through that night.

Anna turned her gaze slowly towards Liam, his handsome face was stiff and neutral, not a hint of emotion shining in his calm eyes.

She didn't know what he was thinking right now, neither did she know how he was feeling.

She was also confused why he brought her to see Ryan.

Didn’t he say he wanted a drink?

So, this was yet another one of his games, waiting for her to jump into the hole he dug for her personally.

Was nothing that came out of his mouth true?

Anna couldn't explain to herself why she suddenly felt so hurt.

Was she sad that Liam forced her to recall the painful night she almost got raped by Ryan?

Or hurt that his true feelings were always nothing but a guessing game to her.

Ryan pushed the two beautiful ladies away from him and stood up trembling.

"Mr... Mr. Ackman..."

"Anna..."

Anna blinked away the pain collecting in the corners o f her eyes and schooled her features, "Don't call my name like that!"

Of course, Ryan wasn't afraid of Anna.

In his eyes, Anna was nothing but a woman who needed a man's comfort.
