Anna hugged Liam from behind, pressing her face tightly into his broad back.
At this moment, she felt like her heartbeat and breathing had become one with his.
She curled her lips, smiling like a happy little woman.
"Because we have an agreement."
Liam's good mood was instantly splintered into pieces, he pushed her hands away.
"It looks like the terms need some amendment."
Anna hid her hands behind her back, a smile blossoming across her face like the first flowers of spring.
"Bring it on, I'll find a way to meet you match for match!"
Liam cocked his head and glared at her, "You are only insolent to me."
"Because you are different from them," Anna said seriously.
"Because of our agreement!" Liam roared.
Anna nodded, "Exactly! Because of our agreement, no matter how I treat you, we have an agreement, you'll never fire me!"
"Don't forget, it’s only valid for a year!"
With that, Anna poked her tongue out at him mischievously, "Do you think you're losing out? But don't worry, I won't take advantage of you. I’ll do my best to fulfill all of the terms."
Liam was furious but helpless at the same time.
"I never thought you would be the one restricting me with the contract!"
Liam tugged her into his arms, a scorching gaze roaming across her body.
“Since you promised to do your best to fulfill every term of the agreement, then we should..." Liam dragged out his words.
"We should what?" Anna's voice trembled.
"What do you think?" Liam's voice turned raspy.
Anna felt her body turning warm, losing her calm. She hurriedly pushed him away, "Let me go, this is the bathroom. People can walk in on us!"
"Who cares, we have an agreement!"
"Even if we have an agreement, we can't...” She pushed him away anxiously.
But her strength was nothing compared to his.
Anna exerted all her strength until the tip of her nose was beaded with sweat, but she couldn't free herself from his arms.
"Don't worry, I’ve got the door locked.”
"Even if the door is locked, we can’t! This is the bathroom!”
In a weird place like this, didn’t he find it unsettling?
"So what if it's the bathroom? Didn't we first meet in the bathroom too?” Liam said, his hands starting to roam across her body.
Anna stiffened in protest.
"No... stop, let’s leave! There are so many guests at the wedding."
"It's not your wedding, why are you so worried?"
Anna was speechless, his logic always rendered her tongue-tied.
Chloe can turn her bathroom adventure with Bryan into a date between two lovers, a trap that someone planted for her, so we can have our own fun too."
Once again, Anna was rendered mute.
With a flash of her eyes, she spoke, "What are you going to say if people see us? The same bullshit that w e were lovers who fell into a trap?”
Liam gazed into her bright, shining eyes. He wanted s o badly to have her right there, right then.
But the word 'lovers' stabbed his heart like a needle.
Right when Anna was getting into the mood and planned to tease him herself, he let go of her.
"Come on, let’s go."
His mood was ever-changing like the weather in winter.
Anna waited for a minute before leaving the restroom t o avoid being seen together.
The wedding ceremony was a success because Chloe never appeared again.
A pregnant lady was easily tired and needed her rest backstage was the story Grandma Dawson fed to their guests.
