Anna got into Ethan's car, seeing that he was about to buckle her seat belt, she quickly did it herself.
"I'll do it myself."
Ethan felt uncomfortable seeing her to be distant from him.
He started the car and drove out.
The reporters were very annoyed when they failed to catch up with him.
"Thank you, Mr. Collins." Anna thanked him.
Ethan was adjusting his breathing, in spite of the heat in his chest, he maintained an air of composure and spoke softly.
"You're welcome."
He hadn't been feeling well lately.
Anna stared blankly at his abnormally pale face.
Glancing at the beads of sweat on his forehead, she smiled sheepishly and handed him a tissue to wipe his sweat.
"Wipe off your sweat."
"Thank you." Ethan took the tissue and wiped his sweat elegantly.
"I should be thanking you. If it hadn't been for you, I would have been surrounded by that group of reporters right now. By the way, why are you here?"
Before waiting for him to answer, Anna smiled, "Oh, look at my question, you must have come for coffee."
Ethan raised a warm smile at the corner of his mouth, "How are you these days?"
"Everything's all right! What about you? "
"I'm fine, it's just I took over Grandpa's company all of a sudden and I was a little busy recently! So I don't have time to see you."
They were childhood friends, but now that they were grown up, the two of them felt somewhat strange.
"As you have taken over Lincoln Group, I really have nothing to do, and I feel that life is all good all of a sudden! I no longer feel the burden on my shoulders which made me unable to breathe all the time."
Ethan glanced at her, "You are a girl, just be happy."
Anna smiled at him, too.
"Where are you going? I'll take you." Ethan asked.
Anna wanted to go to Ackman Group's building and find Liam first.
She had been worried about him and didn't know what was going on his side now.
This man had always been bossy and domineering. H e suddenly returned from abroad to take over the company, the company's shareholders would certainly take the opportunity to make the young boss suffer some losses, it was expected that they would not give up.
But on second thought, now that she was besieged by reporters, Liam's situation must be even worse. If she went to him now, it would be tantamount to turning herself into a trap, which would only bring him more trouble.
"I'd better go home! It's safer at home." Anna smiled bitterly and shook her head.
"I think so." Ethan agreed.
Anna suddenly looked up and caught the tenderness i n Ethan's eyes unexpectedly.
But only for a moment did he regain his former composure, and she felt that she should have read it wrong.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little subtle.
Anna frowned.
Ethan smiled and said, as if to ease the embarrassment, "I gave Nina a project to work on, and I wonder how she's doing!"
"Oh, I see. I have been caring of the fetus recently, and I am not involved! I will ask her and then let her send you the account number, so that you can settle up."
"Okay." Ethan answered faintly.
"I haven't paid you for your earlier work yet! If only all the employees were like you, working without pay." Ethan joked.
His joke instantly relaxed the atmosphere in the car, and Anna rolled her eyes with a smile.
"Then you can keep my remuneration first, and you have to calculate the interest for me. Nina and I are your special designers, aren't we?"
"Of course you're. Let me tell you, every time you finish three projects, I will give you a bonus and invite you to dinner as interest."
"I'd rather not. I've put on a lot of weight recently." She looked at her belly with a smile.
There was a maternal brilliance on her face at this time.
Ethan looked at her with a serious look and then relieved.
"You'll be a good mother."
"Certainly I will!"
