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

Chapter 243 What? Please You?

Anna was led into the Ackman Group offices by James.

James took two steps forward, turned back to the front desk, and said to the lady, "She's Anna Hamilton of the Hamilton family. In the future when she visits the company, let her in immediately, she doesn't need any appointments."

The lady sucked in a cold breath, "She's the daughter o f that Hamilton family?"

James nodded, turned, and left.

The lady was terrified, face pale and sallow, not because of Anna's identity but because of the words " Doesn’t need any appointments."

"What is her relationship with the CEO? That she has the privilege of entering the company without any appointments?"

"Oh my gosh, I’m so dead, I've gotten on the bad side of someone powerful...” Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

James quickened his steps and caught up with Anna," Ms. Hamilton, from now on you can use Mr. Ackman’s personal elevator, this is the password."

Anna nodded and entered the personal elevator behind James.

The staff working in the company all displayed identical expressions of shock on their faces.

"Are my eyes playing tricks on me? Why is Assistant Miller treating her so respectfully?"

"You're right, he is being very respectful! And she gets t o ride on the CEO’s personal elevator, at the moment n o one else has ridden on that elevator before except the CEO and Assistant Miller!"

"Oh no! The receptionist is going to get fired! I heard her making fun of Ms. Hamilton!"

"Don't tell me Mr. Ackman and Ms. Hamilton are dating? Oh my gosh, this is big news..."

James led Anna to Liam's office then left, knowing his presence was no longer necessary.

Anna stood in front of her door nervously, she hesitated for a long while, then pushed the door open slowly.

Liam's office was like him and his home, clean and tidy, noble and elegant.

She stole a glance at her surroundings, but Liam was nowhere to be found!

"How dare he take me for a fool again!”

Anna curled her fists in anger, just when she was turning to leave, the soft sound of a door opening was heard from behind her.

She turned around instantly and saw the door to the inner room of the office was now open. Liam was stood lazily by the door, staring at her with unreadable eyes.

At his stare, Anna felt her muscles stiffen, and hurriedly raised her defenses.

"You, you... What are you staring at?!" She crept towards the door cautiously.

Liam crossed his arms across his chest, and chuckled, "So anxious as usual, you can't even bear to wait for a while. Haven’t you heard of the saying 'more haste less speed'?"

"What... what are you trying to say!" Anna tried her best to remain calm.

What was the matter with this man?

Why was it that no matter what she said, he could transform it into something else entirely? He made her mind drift into dangerous territory...

"Nothing." Liam walked out and poured himself a glass of water, sipping from it slowly.

"Why are you here?” Liam raised his eyebrows and asked.

Anna ground her teeth together, he was the one who requested to meet her, but purposely acted like he didn’t, how could he be so infuriating!

Anna took in a deep breath and said loudly, "Mr.

Ackman, good day to you, I am a designer from SN, I'm here to discuss the details of the advertisement with you.

I heard your company has new requests for us and is only willing to discuss them with the designer personally. I brought my laptop, I'm ready to record it all down. Shall we start now?"

"Start?" Liam raised his eyebrows.

Anna calmed herself down, expression serious and professional, she took out her laptop, opened a document processor, and prepared to record the meeting minutes.

Nevertheless, after waiting for a long moment, Liam said nothing at all, merely looking at her quietly.

"Alright, let's start.” He said.

"Yes. Let's start!"

Again, there was nothing left to do but wait.

Liam remained still.

"I said, we can start now." Liam was starting to grow impatient.

"Yes, please start." Anna waved her hands indicating for him to begin.

Liam furrowed his brows, "Weren't you going to start?"

"Why should I start?” Anna was confused, "You requested this meeting, you should start!"

Liam's lips curled into an evil smile, "Sure, I'll begin."

As he spoke, he began to undo his shirt buttons.

Anna cupped her hands over her eyes in terror, "Hey! What are you doing?"

"I thought you said for me to begin?”

"You, you, you, you're so shameless! I said, "Let’s begin the meeting!" Anna ground her teeth in anger.

Were the hordes of women attracted to him because of his snobbish, holier-than-thou attitude and shameless mannerisms?

To think again, he was no one to her, why should she care how many women threw themselves at him? Besides, for men in a position like his, it would be weird if no women tried to leech onto him.

But...

Everyone knew he was gay.

Why would those women still throw themselves at him!

"What are you waiting for?"

She didn’t realize when Liam had appeared in front of her eyes, smiling at her gleefully, she sucked in a cold breath in shock.

"Waiting?” Anna blinked.

"Waiting for this?" Liam lowered his head and planted a feather-light kiss on her soft lips.

Anna froze in shock when she came to, she started screaming in protest.

"Liam Ackman! You shameless bastard! How could you use work as an excuse to advance your personal agenda? I can’t believe people like you exist!!”

Liam chuckled, "Alright then, we'll talk business.”

Anna ground her teeth in anger, if murder was legal, Liam would be laying in her feet in pieces by now.

Liam sat in his desk chair, expression strict and harsh, playing the part of the cold, impersonal CEO perfectly.

"I've read through your proposal, it's not what we want. Please redo everything.”

"What? Redo everything?"

"Yes, everything. Otherwise, I’ll hire another advertising company to complete this case."

Anna stood up determinedly, "Nina and I have almost completed the whole case, and now you want us to redo everything?"

"Your staff already approved the proposal, how can you just change your mind like this?" Anna complained angrily.

"That's because the previous company thought you had a good idea, but I don't think so," Liam replied.

"That is also a signed contract between the two companies. How can changes be made so easily?"

"Even the bosses have changed, what's wrong with changing the contract?"

"You are in breach of contract!” Anna pointed at him furiously.

"Alright, I'm willing to pay the damages for this breach.” Liam held his hands out in front of him acceptingly.

Anna was infuriated, her teeth ground against each other so hard her gums were almost bleeding. "The proposal has been decided, you can’t just change it as and when you like! You can't break our trust just like that!"

"The person who agreed to the proposal is the previous boss of this company. If you’re not satisfied, you can bring it up with him."

"You!"

Anna glared at him in fury, how could this man act like this?

He was too much!

Liam ignored her obvious rage and said slowly," Hamilton, I'm your company's major client, you glare a t all your clients like that?"

"Liam Ackman!"

Liam raised the corner of his lips and dragged out his words, "I can accept the proposal as it is, as long as you please me." "What? Please you?"
