Take Control of Yourself, Please novel (Anna and Liam) novel Chapter 53

Anna pretended not to hear him and continued to walk out.

"Come back here!"

Liam was furious and his voice rumbled so loudly that it would strike fear into anyone's heart.

Even though Anna still wanted to escape, she did not have the guts to take another step. In the end, she was forced to turn back slowly. With her back still facing Liam and James, she cautiously sat down on the sofa.

Once Liam saw that she had returned, his expression seemed to soften.

James’ palm was full of sweat. He finally understood that Mr. Ackman's lifeline was in Miss Hamilton's hands.

Liam looked towards James and flipped a switch to his professional self, "What’s the update on the work that I assigned to you?”

He should have returned to the company to review the contract. However, since Anna was here, he could not bear to leave.

James rushed to give his report, "Although the undercurrents in the domestic economy are surging, everything is running smoothly. As per your request, I have organized for the board meeting to be held in two days and have notified all the relevant parties.”

"The shareholders at the previous meeting have agreed to our terms after they received the appropriate benefits."

"The agreement is going too smoothly. This is a problem. Keep a close eye on them. Report to me at once if anything happens," said Liam in a stern tone.

"Yes, there's another matter. Your mother..." James' voice slowly trailed off. He looked at Anna out of the corner of his eye.

Liam's gaze darkened. He nodded and said, "We'll talk about this later."

"Yes, sir."

Anna looked at Liam and James suspiciously. Why did they need to hide this from her? What was up with Liam's mother? That would be Madam Ackman. She was also referred to as the First Lady by the people.

Humph!

Anna rolled her eyes angrily. She thought that he had asked her to stay because he did not consider her an outsider. It turned out that her emotions had betrayed her once again!

Liam looked up slightly and noticed Anna rolling her eyes. Even though he did not know what she was angry about, he thought that her furious expression was extremely adorable causing the corners of his lips to curve up slightly.

James was shocked when he saw his boss smiling. There was even tenderness in his eyes!

This was the first time that James had seen his boss smiling so warmly. It was extremely unlike his usual cold, indifferent expression. Even if he smiled, it was just a cold formulaic response.

James secretly wondered if this meant that from now on if his boss was ever in a rage, he might be able to bring Miss Hamilton out to calm him down.

James continued with his update, "Lastly, the shareholders have not agreed to the prize for the first-place winner in this internship project with the University of Johannes.”

Liam scoffed and shifted into a deceptively, languid pose.

"So they don't agree to it? I was not asking for their permission, I was merely informing them of my decision."

Liam accepted the file that James handed over to him and began to read it intently.

Anna observed Liam out of the corner of her eyes.

This man was extremely domineering! This was the power of the rich!

If a woman with brains was the most attractive, then a n authoritative man at work had the most charm.

Anna watched Liam as he worked before her. His

thoughts were focused as he strategized. His demeanor made him appear like a king, a ruler of all beings. She hoped that when she took over the Lincoln Group, she would be able to exude such confident authority.

When she thought about the impending responsibility and mission, considering how weak her abilities currently were, her eyes darkened.

Liam picked up a pen and wrote with a flourish. He then tossed the file back at James. James quickly left, bowing respectfully as he held the file in his hands.

"What happened?"

Liam's husky and magnetic voice suddenly rang out beside Anna's ear. Only then did she return to her senses. She realized with a start that she and Liam were the only ones left in the office. James had already left and had the awareness to shut the door behind him.
