Take Control of Yourself, Please novel (Anna and Liam) -
Chapter 195 A Man Who Did Not Love Her
Anna rushed out of the restaurant, hailed a cab, and immediately got in.
Micheal wanted to stop her but the cab had long been driven away.
"Mr. Ackman, Old Man Ackman, the great Ackman prince, how did you make her storm off like that?" Micheal showed Liam a million thumbs-ups.
"She just treated us to a meal. At least be a gentleman and send her home! Shouldn't you make sure she gets home safe?"
Liam gazed down at the white paper in his hands. It was not an IOU but simply a blank piece of paper.
Even so, that naive little lady still believed him!
It seemed like he really could trick her into bed with him at any time.
"Mr. Ackman, are you listening to me? It's already late. It's not safe for a girl to be out at this time alone," Micheal pointed out.
Liam curled up his lips and smiled. He gazed in the direction in which Anna left and said in an ambiguous tone, "What are you afraid of? She will never escape from the palms of my hand!"
With the GPS tracker in Anna's wristband, he could know her position at any time. There was even a microphone installed so he could hear everything from Anna's end at any time.
Of course, it would be even better if he could get video footage.
That way, he could see his little lady's lazy and sexy manner every minute of the day. However, if he could do that, he must have the little lady by his side twenty-four seven. Otherwise, the flames of lust in his body would bring him so much agony.
It seemed like he needed to give that wristband another full system upgrade.
The IT department in his company seemed to be progressing at a slow rate at the moment. Liam thought he ought to put some pressure on them.
He called his company landline. "Tell the IT department to do overtime tonight. I'm heading to the office right now."
Hearing his command, the entire IT department grumbled and whined. However, when they thought about the big boss Liam returning to the office, they hurriedly went back to work dutifully. They feared that the slightest mistake would land them a death sentence.
Micheal glanced at Liam. He was between laughter and tears. "I honestly don't know what you're thinking."
Initially, Liam was going to enter his car. However, he turned around instead and stood in front of Micheal with a hesitant expression, as if he was trying to say something to Micheal.
"If you have something to say, say it quickly. I need to head back to the hospital for overtime."
Liam looked up and gazed at the sky full of glistening stars. It reminded him of the star-bright glimmer in Anna's eyes when she smiled beautifully in a wedding dress.
An odd feeling emerged in his heart-it felt warm yet unfamiliar.
He even had a sudden urge to put Anna in a wedding gown again and have her hold his arm as they walked along a red carpet together...
"I think there might be something wrong with my mind lately," Liam began.
"I often get this weird feeling in my heart that's disrupting normal perception."
Micheal frowned. "Something wrong with your head?"
Liam nodded.
"Then you should be seeing a psychologist instead of consulting me."
Liam's expression darkened. Micheal adjusted his glasses. "I think you're just in love and want to get married."
"Nonsense!" Liam instantly refuted. "You know very well that I will never get married!"
"If you don't want to get married, why did you bring a girl to a bridal boutique? You even bought the entire boutique for her."
"For fun," Liam replied in a stubborn and domineering tone.
"Amazing! No man in the world is as amazing as you!" Micheal showed him a thumbs-up gesture and patted his shoulder earnestly. "When you reach a certain age, you will eventually have to get married. Besides, I can tell that you really do like her a lot."
"No! Marriage is a trap!" Liam continued to deny it, "It's just a need. A way to kill time."
UH
Micheal was rendered speechless. "Take care, brother."
In the cab, Anna had initially thought about going home. However, the thought of having to face Chloe's words and attitude at home filled her heart with distress. She asked the cab driver to take her to Jamie's bar.
In Jamie's bar, men were snuggling up and confiding in each other as usual.
The scene abruptly evoked hatred in Anna's heart.
There were so many women on earth that deserved these men's love. Many of them were exceptionally handsome. Why could they not have a normal
relationship?
When Jamie noticed Anna's arrival, he excitedly rushed over.
"Oh, jolly! My Little Annie has finally come to visit me!"
Jamie hugged Anna yet she heartlessly pushed him away. "Pour me a glass."
Jamie narrowed his sharp eyes. "My Little Annie seems to be in a bad mood! Did you try to win over some handsome man but failed miserably?"
Anna rolled her eyes at him. "I'm in a bad mood! Don't joke with me! I'm very irritable right now!"
Jamie pouted and poured her a glass. "My dear, tell me, who upset you?"
Anna raised her head and downed the entire glass. Suddenly, she burst out laughing until her whole body trembled. "I'm just teasing you! I can't believe you fell for it!"
Anna's laughter made Jamie scratch his head confusedly. He murmured, "There must be something wrong in your head!"
Jamie touched her forehead but she immediately pushed him away.
"You're the one with something wrong with your head! My brain is functioning normally! I know exactly what I'm doing! Right now, my head is clearer than anyone! I am completely sober! I've never been more awake in my entire life!"
Jamie frowned at her. "Listen to yourself! You're already spouting nonsense! You're clearly drunk on alcohol and misery!"
After downing two more glasses, she finally quieted down and lay limp on the table.
Jamie gently stroke Anna's long hair. "My dear, what happened? You look like you've lost your soul. It's so worrying.
"I can see the grief in your eyes. Tell me, did something happen?"
Anna shook her head. She did not know where to even begin.
Even she did not understand the relationship between her and Liam. It would be of no help to tell Jamie about it either.
"Hurry up and tell me. You look like you've suffered through chaos and abandonment."
Anna chuckled wryly. "How can I be abandoned if there wasn't a relationship, to begin with? Nonsense!"
He would not mind if she surrendered and gave up on their relationship, right? If he minded, he never would have deceived her and toyed with her like that!
Things like this would always happen from time to time. One might feel that they had grasped it in their hands, yet somehow, their heart still felt empty. It was as if their possession was lost just as soon as they obtained it.
"I can tell that this is about a man just by looking at your face!"
"What's on my face? Are the words 'because of a man' carved on it?" Anna pointed at her own face.
"Tut-tut, how stubborn! Look at yourself! Aren't you trying to drown your sorrows with alcohol?" Jamie rolled his eyes hard at her.
"Even you are bullying me!" Anna smacked the tabletop.
"How am I bullying you? I'm just telling the truth! It's all written in your eyes! How does that saying go again? When it comes to love, your lips can lie but your eyes can't hide."
Jamie gently tapped on Anna's eyes. "Go look in the mirror. Your eyes clearly show that you have fallen for a man who doesn't love you!"
Anna staggered.
She had fallen for a man who did not love her? 1
