Anna looked embarrassed.
She was pissed. Her face turned red, like an apple ripe for the plucking.
Relive your ass!
That was her first time. He had just taken it like that, and he even had the cheek to leave her a cheque!
Now, she commended herself for the words she left on the cheque, it was the easiest revenge she had ever taken.
She glared at him furiously and murmured, "What’s there to relive? We were just there by chance..."
"What did you say?" Liam looked at her meaningfully.
Anna gritted her teeth and said, "I said, this bar is run by my good friend, of course I can come here. What about you Mr. Ackman? I am a woman, but you’re a man."
She looked at the men whose eyes were glowing in his direction and smiled slyly.
"Look at them, they look like they're stripping you alive."
Her words made him uncomfortable.
She was getting bolder and bolder by the day!
He turned back and swept his eyes over the crowd, an ice-cold gaze freezing any adventurous suitors in their seats, bowing their heads and taking their eyes off of him.
In an instant, the atmosphere in the bar returned to normal, or as normal as it could be.
Liam turned back to Anna again, raised his eyebrows a s if saying, "At least give me a challenge."
Anna pouted, finger pointing at the space behind him, "There.”
Wilson stared at Liam, looking sad and helpless. His eyes were like a kicked puppy with lips pursed together tightly as if he was going to burst into tears a t any second.
Anna clicked her tongue in shock, just a minute ago h e looked like the ice king himself, the change was too drastic for her to handle.
Was he really the same person?
Or was he suffering from schizophrenia like Liam and Charles?
It's like Liam was his switch, turning him from a cold, dominating presence into an obedient, yes-man.
Wilson glared at Anna coldly, "Charles, bring me home please, I don't want to stay there anymore. Without you there, I feel miserable."
Liam frowned, not even bothering to look at him, he tugged Anna behind him and headed for the door.
Wilson blocked his path, glaring at the struggling Anna, and said sulkily, "She doesn't love you at all. Don’t go, please?"
"You can go home if you don't want to be here, get James to buy you a ticket."
Liam said coldly and dragged Anna with him out of the Predicament Bar.
Jamie looked at Wilson's defeated figure and his heart splintered into pieces. He stood behind him and said softly, "Wilson, please stay tonight, I’ll accompany you 99
After leaving the bar, Anna was roughly thrown into the passenger seat.
"Why did you drag me out of there? Wilson is still inside." Anna said anxiously.
She knew he would pull her out but she never expected him to be so cold to Wilson.
Such a beautiful man, and so deeply in love with him too. Even if he didn't like men, didn't like Wilson himself, but he didn’t have to be so cruel.
Liam's hand paused on the ignition button, slightly pissed.
"So what if he's inside? Why do you care? Do you like him?"
Anna was furious, "You’re impossible, so according to
your logic, as long as he's a male, I'll fall for him?"
"I'm glad you know that. Don't be nosy. You don't need to worry about strangers' affairs."
Liam’s stiff jaw relaxed, but his tone remained cold and distant.
"Wilson isn’t a stranger, he’s your friend. He came to see you from so far away, you threw him to the side and ignored him. Now, he’s begging you so pitifully, how can you be so cruel?"
Anna felt he was crossing the line with his cold, unfeeling attitude.
He could be so gentle to Grandma Dawson and so worried about his friend Michael Hart. Why couldn't b e more kind to Wilson?
Maybe because she had a best friend like Jamie so she didn't see Wilson as a threat or an enemy.
