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

Chapter 48 It Turned Out To Be Liam!

Nina’s eyes sparkled as she fluttered her eyelashes at Anna hopefully.

"I'm not going to tell you, you busybody!" Anna lightly tapped her forehead and smiled sweetly.

Anna would not reveal who Jennifer had gone to the hotel with. However, if Jennifer continued to talk about Anna and Ryan, she might accidentally ’leak’ some information.

They walked to class together. Everyone in the class gave Anna a once over then grouped to have whispered discussions. Even without listening to them speak, she could guess that they must be discussing what happened between her and Ryan.

This matter occurred at the Dawson family mansion and it involved Anna and another man. The man was a known playboy so it was a huge scandal for her to be caught with him.

Anna took a deep breath and acted as though she had not heard anything. Otherwise, the story would become more warped until it became a version that was nothing like the truth. 1

After the class ended, Nina read a group message and quickly pulled Anna outside.

"Nina, what’s the rush?”

"We need to head to the main building."

"Why do we need to go to the main building?"

"To see a handsome man!"

"To see a handsome man? When did you become such a love-struck fool? I'm going to the library to read," said Anna.

Nina caught hold of Anna's arm and said with a smile, "To be honest, we’re going to the auditorium in the main building for a meeting. All the final-year students need to be in attendance. However, I heard that there’s a new head tutor who is in charge of the graduating students’ assessment. They also said that h e was extremely handsome. The university's WhatsApp group blown up because of this." 1

Anna raised an eyebrow. "There’s a meeting in the main auditorium? Is that true?" She seemed to recall that when Liam pranked her over the phone, he said that there was a meeting in the main auditorium.

Nina dragged her outside. “Of course it’s true. It's as real as Beyonce. Hurry up! Let's go! We’re going to be late!"

By the time Anna and Nina arrived at the main auditorium, the meeting was about to start. All the university leaders were seated on the stage but there was an empty seat in the middle. The person who should have sat in the middle, Principal Mason, was instead sitting to the left of the empty seat.

Nina dragged Anna to find a seat closer to the front and sat down. Jennifer, who was seated slightly before them to one side noticed them and glared at them. Anna's eyes swept past her coolly. She focused her gaze ahead.

Nina raised her chin provokingly and scoffed, "Crazy dog Wurst."

At that moment, a commotion broke out among the people surrounding them. The girls all started to squeal.

"Wow! Hurry up and look! That man is so handsome!"

"Oh my gosh! He's too handsome! He's an absolute adonis. He's my dream guy!"

"What!? He can't be your dream guy, he’s my dream guy!"

While this was happening, some of the girls were saying, "Isn't he the handsome guy who was below the women's dormitories last night?"

Some of the guys there started to feel a little jealous." These women are so superficial. Being good- looking is only skin-deep. It won’t be able to feed you."

The girls rushed to counter them by saying, "What do you know!? That's the billionaire Ackman prince, Liam Ackman!"

The guys went 'oh' then said, "You mean that gay man?"

Anna could not stop herself from face palming. Why was it that everything she heard someone calling Liam gay, she felt an urge to stand up and refute that?

Liam Ackman, how could he be gay!? He was an absolute war god in bed!

Nina started to shriek as well. She tapped Anna excitedly and said joyfully, "Anna! Quickly come and see. I wasn't lying to you. He’s so handsome! That jawline, those eyes, that body..."

Anna raised her eyes to look at the center stage and saw Liam standing there, dressed in a black suit. His shoulders were stitched with an exquisite floral pattern, which looked like a totem while the cuffs were lined with amber and gold buttons. The entire outfit looked refined and expensive.

As soon as he entered, the top-leveled officials of the university rushed to greet him respectfully. However, h e walked elegantly to sit in the center as if he did not see them.

Even though he had not said a word, he exerted a powerful, magnetic aura drawing the attention of everyone present. A single look was enough to mesmerize all the women there. At this moment, he was like a god that sat on high that everyone could not help but worship.

With just one look, he could seize control of each person’s emotions. His body was like its own spotlight, making it so that everyone's gaze converged

upon him.

Anna felt incredibly uncomfortable. How could it be him!!!

Liam sat on the stage and his eyes that were as deep a s the ocean swept across the people below the stage. A s soon as his gaze landed upon Anna's sparkling, beautiful eyes, he soundlessly formed a shape with his mouth.

Anna instantly felt her heart race.

He had mouthed the words, "Bite me.”

She lowered her head in frustration in an attempt to avoid his gaze. She could not get rid of the rage inside her so she raised her head and formed a shape with her mouth at Liam on the stage.

"Pervert.”

Liam’s expression became icy.

This silent interaction happened in an instant. The audience only seemed to feel as though the extremely attractive man on the stage did not seem so unattainable a moment ago. However, in the next second, he seemed as frosty as a glacier.

Principal Mason announced that the meeting was about to begin.

"Dear students, you are all about to enter society. However, before that happens, the University of

Johannes has arranged a different mode of internship for all of you this year. It will be a really good experience for you students but also a cruel challenge."

Before he finished speaking, the auditorium had erupted in plaintive moans.

"What? A challenge? So it’s going to be another fuss?"

"This can't be! What the hell is going on with old man Mason?"

"Ah! A challenge? That will be really intense, right!? Will there be some sort of prize?"

"Sheesh! Do you want a prize? Knowing old man Mason's stingy *ss, it's good enough if he leaves you with your skin intact!"

When Principal Mason saw the students' reaction, he started to laugh. The neatly-trimmed mustache under his nose moved along with his laughter.

"Yes, the internship this time will be run in a competition style, hence there will be prizes."

A single stone thrown in a pond can cause a thousand ripples.

The scene below the stage erupted into a furor. Everyone was busy guessing what this internship would be like and what the prizes would turn out to be. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

One of the braver guys directly asked loudly," Principal Mason, quickly tell us what the prize is. Is it a luxury car or beautiful women?"

The students burst into laughter.

The corners of Liam's lips curved in amusement. He spoke softly, "Principal, your university seems to have a rigorous and honest learning style."

Principal Miller felt a moment of embarrassment.

However, he quickly put on a smile and cleared his throat. "Ahem. Quiet down! I'm going to talk about the details of the competition now."

"The objectives of the competition are very simple. This internship will last for 2 weeks. You will enter the Ackman Skyhigh Group to work on an actual project."

"The first round will be held with competing teams and the second round will be a competition between the individuals of the winning group."

"The tutor-in-charge of this internship will be the CEO of the Ackman Skyhigh Group, Mr. Ackman who is seated beside me. Please give him a warm welcome, everyone."

The audience below the stage gave him a loud, thundering applause.

"Oh my gosh! I can’t believe that we’re going to have our internship at the Ackman Skyhigh Group! The billionaire Ackman Group...

"I can be closer to my dream guy now!"

"I'm going to faint! I want to get number one!”

As for Anna, she was disappointed that her internship would be at the Ackman Skyhigh Group!

'Liam Ackman! Did you do this on purpose!?’ thought Anna.

She raised her head and looked towards the stage. By coincidence, she met Liam's gaze and his half-smile. His deep eyes were like a whirlpool, making her feel like she was trapped in quicksand, unable to free herself.
