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

Chapter 310 None of You Can Run

Anna felt the woman’s sobs sounded particularly familiar.

She turned and looked at them, but the man had already pulled the woman into the room.

It can't be, she thought.

At this hour, Nina should be taking care of her mother in the hospital, she wouldn't be here.

Besides, Nina was going to start work at the Ackman Group, she had quit her part-time job here.

She followed behind Liam and walked out of the Earldom Club.

The valet had already driven their car over.

Liam entered the car and motioned for Anna to follow suit.

Anna hesitated.

"I'm going to the bathroom, wait for me! I'll be back in a minute!" Anna left these words behind and rushed back into the club.

She couldn't withstand her curiosity.

The woman sounded too much like Nina!

She returned to the ninth floor and traced her steps back to the room she saw them in.

The door to the room was shut, but there was a crack between the doors.

She looked into the room through the cracks... Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

She could vaguely see a man's figure, and a halfempty bottle of wine on the table.

The man seemed to be drunk, spewing coarse words and curses at the top of his lungs.

"I paid money for you. Your manager said you were doing this voluntarily? And now you say you were fucking forced? Ugh..."

The man burped and continued, "I paid a sum for you because you looked all shy and innocent. Otherwise, why would I pay so much for a simple girl like you?

And now you’re saying you have boundaries? You're already a hooker, and you still care about your damn virginity? Ugh... now you’re telling me you don't want t o do it anymore? No damn way!"

"No, no... I quit, I really quit..." The woman cried helplessly.

"Why? Found another man to rely on? Which bastard can pay more than me huh? Call him out, and I'll teach him how to fucking take turns!" The man yelled crudely.

"Director Quell, you're a forgiving man. Let me go just this once, please... Besides this, I can do anything, I can even be your servant..." The woman cried and begged.

By this point, Anna was stunned, standing in front of the door, her mind blank from the shock.

She felt as if she had dropped into an iced lake, body stiff and frozen.

For a moment, she was at a loss.

She was right!

It was Nina’s voice!

But why was Nina...

Anna clasped her hands to her mouth in shock, looked at the nearby, he was deaf to the curses and commotion drifting in from the room, numb and used t o the sight.

Just when Anna wanted to push the door and barge i n, two waiters stopped her.

"Miss, these are our rules. Please adhere to it."

They didn't stop her when she was peeping because she was dressed luxuriously but if she wanted to barge in, they had no other choice.

"The girl inside obviously didn't agree to this! How can you conduct business like this!" Her face was pale as a ghost.

"I'm sorry Miss, only two willing parties are allowed to enter a room." The waiter replied respectfully.

"Besides, the customer inside is not someone we can offend. It’s best if you leave too," the waiter reminded

her kindly.

Anna's mind was numb from shock.

She remembered how down Nina was, how she purposely kept her distance from her, and how she seemed exhausted all the time...

Anna raised her ice-cold hand, held onto the door handle but never exerted strength to push it open.

She was hesitating.

If she went in now, she would be exposing Nina's secret that she tried so hard to hide.

Nina was so prideful and headstrong; she would be able to accept this!

Then their friendship...

Even if she kept it a secret, it would be a dark and painful memory that would follow Nina her whole life, no matter what happened in the future.

Anna started to beg the two waiters, "I have some money here, take it. Go in and save her, please!"

"I'm sorry, we really can't do that! We can’t afford to get on the customer's bad side!" The waiters didn't know what to do.

Anna was so anxious, she felt tears pricking at the corners of her eyes, "She's being forced! This is illegal! Do you want to be an accessory to rape? Can you bear t o see a young girl being bullied by a man? Don’t worry, I’ll cover for you..."

Anna emptied all the cash in her wallet into their hands.

The two waiters looked at each other and stuffed the money back into her hands.

"We really can't afford to get on his bad side.”

Then, Liam's cold voice rang out behind her.

"What's wrong?”

Anna's face turned pale from fear, turning towards him with a smile.

"I, I...I couldn't find the restroom, wait for me, I'll be out soon!"

Noticing her nerves, he frowned.

"Quick, go out and wait for me! I'll be there soon!" She waved at him frantically.

Liam and Dr. Hart were close friends, if he knew Nina had a past like this, he would definitely look down on her.

Liam could not find out!

Seeing him stand there without moving, she called out to him, "Hey, I need some tissues, go and buy me some!”

But he remained where he was, not moving at all.

In such a high-end club, the bathrooms were filled with tissues.

Panic coursed through her, if Liam remained there, she was worried she wouldn't be able to save Nina in time.

What could she do?

"I, I, I... I'm having my period, quick, get me some tampons!" Anna shouted at him, face red from embarrassment.

Liam raised his eyebrows, but gradually smoothened them out.

Of course, he knew Anna was just trying to divert his attention and make him leave.

He turned around, a dark glimmer lighting up his eyes, and walked towards the end of the hallway.

At this moment, a woman's screams drifted in from the room.

"Ah..."

Anna threw caution to the wind and barged into the room.

"Nina!"

In the room, the drunk man was pressing Nina into the sofa, tearing at her clothes.

The man noticed her and lifted his head. His face was completely flushed from the alcohol, but his hands continued their motions, tearing at Nina's clothes.

"Ah! Let me go, let me go..." Nina struggled fervently.

Anna rushed forward and pushed the man off with all her might, shielding Nina behind her.

"Anna...”

Nina hugged her helplessly, she couldn’t contain her emotions anymore and burst into tears.

The man fell onto a corner of the sofa, but his eyes brightened the moment he laid eyes on Anna.

"He-he...” He chuckled.

The evil glimmer in his eyes shone through the darkness, "I really am a lucky man today, a big beauty and a little beauty...

Neither of you can run tonight!"

The man lunged towards them.

Nina was terrified, she didn't want to drag Anna into this. She grabbed the bottle of wine from the table and smashed it on the man's head.

Nina wasn't strong enough, the bottle didn't even crack, the man merely grunted in pain.

"Fuck, how dare you hit me!" The expression on the man's face turned murderous.

"Anna, run!” Nina pushed Anna towards the entrance and turned to grab at the man, preventing him from chasing after Anna.

Anna looked at Nina, worry, and unease coursing through her chest.

She lunged forward to help Nina, but a long arm reached out and pulled her behind him.
