They arrived at Ackman Group Headquarters.
As Liam pulled into the exclusive garage of the president, Anna looked at the empty parking lot and murmured, "Go get it yourself. I'll wait here. Take a picture of it on your phone and send it to me."
She was still wary of him.
"Aren't you coming?"
Liam backed neatly into the parking space.
He didn't have to do that himself...
But he didn't want to miss the chance to spend time alone with Anna in the empty garage.
Anna had a conscious grip on her seat belt, "No, I'm not."
"You are already here, go up and have a look. There are many people you know well."
Anna used to work there, and so did Nina.
Liam stared at Anna like a king.
Anna shook her head vigorously. She was a little scared by Liam's sharp stare, "No, thank you. We're not having a normal relationship...It is not suitable for us to show up together in public."
"Anna." Liam scowled and his tone was serious.
"Liam, we're a divorced couple and we've already had a lot of people talking about you rescuing me in a helicopter. If I go to the company with you now, they're going to have a new topic to talk about."
"They never stop talking."
By implication, Liam didn't care what people were saying about him and Anna.
But Anna did.
She would not get out of the car, clinging to her seat belt.
"It's because they talk so much that we should pay attention to that. I don't want to be misunderstood by them any more."
"Huh, are you afraid they'll think we're back together?"
Liam smiled, his voice seductive.
Anna was a little embarrassed, she smiled and said," You think too much."
"I do think too much. You look nervous as if you want t o make demands on me."
Liam's voice was soft and gentlemanly, and his deep pupils shrank slightly.
"Oh, god, how can I explain that? Anyway, I'm not going up there. I don't want Ethan and your wife to misunderstand our relationship."
Anna was not fooled by his provocation. She made a good excuse for herself.
But inside the car there was a crunchy sound.
He locked the car door!
Anna was terrified.
"What do you want to do?"
Liam ignored her resistance, turned slightly sideways and leaned forward.
He raised his arm slowly, and Anna was afraid to move.
"What...what do you want to do?"
Liam chuckled, "You seem anxious for me to do something to you."
"I didn't!"
"You did."
"Ho!"
"Huh..."
Liam chuckled and lifted his hand to help Anna unfasten the seat belt.
"If you are afraid of being misunderstood, let's go public.Tell everyone that we still love each other, and let them talk about it openly." Liam stared at her.
"What nonsense are you talking..."
