Liam knew this threat against Anna might not work. The best way was to threaten her with her weak spot.
For example...
Liam looked towards Nina.
"If you do not follow my order, I will fire both of you guys."
"What?"
Nina and Anna spoke in unison, staring incredulously at Liam's handsome face.
"Mr. Ackman, I..." Nina did not do anything wrong. She frowned anxiously.
She could not lose this job because she still had to rely on her salary here to support her mother and treat her mother’s illness.
Nina looked at Anna for help.
Anna was furious. "Mr. Ackman, it's so unkind of you t o bully two girls."
"Are you a girl?"
In Liam’s eyes, Anna was a woman.
A woman who didn't listen to him...
Anna smiled gently. She didn't believe that Liam would really fire Nina.
Although Liam was cold and domineering, he was not an unreasonable person. Of course, he was unreasonable about her only.
"I do not know much about Michael's family background, but I know you guys are best friends. If you kicked Nina out of here, he probably wouldn't forgive you, right?"
"I never care what others think."
Fine!
"But I still think it is so unkind of you to do that. Why d o you use Nina to threaten me?"
Liam snorted and gazed at Anna coldly.
"Who do you think you are? Don't you think it's ridiculous to ask me that question?"
Anna was silent, but that was not because of his sneer. She thought of the contract between him and her.
She was in no position to say no to any of his
decisions!
He had always expected her to become meek, but she had been struggling desperately. Nevertheless, in the end, she still could not fight him and gradually changed her original character.
In a sense, he and she should be considered to stand o n the opposite side.
But she could not get rid of him anymore after that encounter.
"Fine!" Anna compromised.
She decided to start softening towards Liam.
Liam achieved his goal, so a smile curved his lips.
He simply wanted to scare Anna, but he didn't expect her to really fall for the trick.
It seemed that he was an evil person in her heart after all.
However, it did not matter.
He liked to have this woman under his control. It would give him a greater sense of accomplishment than winning any big project.
Anna knew that it would be too unfair on Nina to be fired just because of her.
She would not let Nina become a victim of her and Liam's fight.
Nina's eyes wandered towards Anna and Liam.
She then said softly, "Mr. Ackman, although I do not want to lose my job here at all, I am willing to leave from here if Anna is forced to do something she doesn't want to do because of me."
Anna was touched for a moment. "Nina, he and I were just joking. Don't need to take it seriously."
Anna saw Liam's cold face and gave an embarrassed cough.
"Well... Mr. Ackman, since I haven't clearly understood a lot of work, let's go to your office to talk."
Anna hurriedly stood up and left the dining table.
When Liam saw her leave, he also stood up.
Liam was about to leave, but he suddenly turned around and said to Nina, "It was the right choice for you two to break up. I hope you'd better not regret it. And don't give him any more chances to get back together with you."
