Anna quickly calmed down to hide her surprise and pushed the gift back to Liam.
"It's too expensive. I can't accept it."
"You don't want this watch because of its price or you refuse it because of the meaning of it?" Liam asked directly.
Liam domineeringly grabbed Anna's hand and put the watch on her wrist.
"Wear it every day. Don't take it off."
At this moment, Anna felt as if the time went back to the moment when Liam put the wristband on her wrist.
Back then she was still young and naive so she was deeply attracted by his domineering aura and fell in love with him crazily.
'What does he mean now?'
'Capture my heart in this way?'
She wanted to take it off. But when she met Liam's domineering eyes, she had to wear the watch.
"You help our company and even give me such an
expensive gift. This makes me bashful. So let me give you a gift, too."
Liam raised his eyebrows. "I'm afraid that the profit from this project is not enough for you to give me a gift! Wait. Give the gift to me when I want you to give me."
'As expected.'
'He wants me to owe a debt of gratitude to him.’
"Well, then I will accept it!"
It seemed that Anna didn't have to be too polite to him.
This was what he owed her!
She deserved it.
As for whether to give him a gift or not, it depended on Anna’s mood.
Anyway, this shiny diamond watch was really beautiful, setting off her fair skin and slender arm.
Liam smiled happily when he saw Anna's unconcealed liking for the watch.
He put one hand in the pocket of his trousers. His dark eyes were tinged with a hint of tenderness.
'It's good as long as she likes it.'
Time flew quickly and it was the New Year.
Since there would be more tasks as more companies cooperated with the Lincoln Group, almost everyone was busy finishing their work at the end of the year.
As the star program would be broadcast and the New Year theme was the first episode, Anna had to prepare for a business trip.
Liam used work as a reason to ask her to make preparations to spend the New Year in another place.
When Anna thought that she couldn't spend the New Year with Gemma at home, she felt very uncomfortable. But as the entire crew was now intensively preparing for the filming process, Anna must also work hard.
"Do you think this sweater is suitable for me?" Anna stood in front of the mirror, holding a red sweater.
Ethan took a beige turtleneck sweater and handed it t o Anna.
"You will go to film the program with the crew, right? The winter over there is dry and cold so you have to wear more. Red is too eye-catching, not as inconspicuous and comfortable as beige."
"You are always considerate." Anna originally intended to dress more festively for the New Year.
But Anna would go on a business trip with Liam. If she wore this red sweater, maybe others would think that she tried to seduce Liam.
"This one is also good. You will look good in it." Ethan chose a light gray sweater for Anna.
But in the direction that Anna couldn't see, Ethan's eyes were tinged with a trace of sadness and unwillingness.
Ethan knew very well what it meant if Anna went on a business trip with Liam.
Ethan wanted to use Gemma as an excuse to keep Anna stay, but he couldn't do that.
