Take Control of Yourself, Please novel (Anna and Liam)
Chapter 196 We’ll See Each Other Again

Jamie quickly snatched the wine bottle from Anna's hand.

"What are you doing? Are you trying to ruin yourself? You can't drink this wine like that! You'll get drunk, my dear!" Anna wiped her lips and suddenly laughed.

"I won't get drunk! Today I'm happy so I want to have a glass to celebrate, look at you being scared!"

Jamie plopped down in front of Anna and stared at her. "Is it? Are you going to tell me or not?"

"Tell you what?" Anna pushed aside Jamie's charming face.

"Quickly tell me the truth, exactly who it was!"

Anna angrily glanced at him and immediately fell back into silence.

After a long time, Anna lowered her head and spoke extremely softly.

"Jamie, if a man said that he doesn't like you, but will still be attentive, caring, and even wants to have you as his possession, what does he mean by that?"

"Have you slept with him?" asked Jamie.

Anna blushed and appeared constrained.

"That means you've slept with him," said Jamie as he smacked the table.

Jamie looked at Anna with pity. "Well, there are two possibilities to this situation."

"Firstly, he likes you but doesn't know how to express himself, or maybe he doesn't even know the meaning of liking someone."

"In other words, he actually likes me?" Anna suddenly raised her head with radiant light in her eyes.

Jamie sighed. "I don't know whether or not he likes you, but I can clearly see that you like him.”

"Then what's the second possibility?" Anna felt deflated as she looked at Jamie pitifully.

"The second one is..." Jamie moved closer to Anna and looked at her with compassion. "Is that he hasn't slept around enough?"

Anna hugged herself and rested her head on the bar counter. She was so disheartened that she could not say a word.

Jamie gently patted her shoulder. "Little Annie, it's about replaceing a good partner. If this man is worthy of your trust then you should be a little braver like me, don't be afraid of hardship, and do it for love." Anna rolled her eyes at him. "I'm sorry, he's not worth

entrusting my life to!"

Jamie sighed and shook his head. "That's too bad. Better let him go and replace another one!"

"Go to hell! What kind of relationship guru and best friend are you?"

Anna pushed Jamie aside and staggered out of the bar.

"My dear, my dear..."

Jamie wanted to give chase but his phone suddenly made a sound. It was the man he had long-awaited.

Jamie's eyes immediately lit up. "My God! He finally replied to me! He finally replied to me!"

Jamie hurriedly replied to the text and had completely forgotten about Anna.

Anna stumbled out of the bar and walked on the streets while being blown by the night breeze.

"Liam, oh Liam, are you worth entrusting my life to?"

"Haha..." Anna laughed wryly. "Definitely not!"

"You're so sly, you'll set me up till I'm finished! You'll oppress me my whole life and I won't have any freedom. You'll toss me aside when you're done having fun with me, and I'll be left alone and depressed!" She took out her phone and called Liam, and he answered really quickly.

Anna's angry scolding immediately went through

before Liam could even speak.

"Liam, you big b*stard-"

Liam moved his phone a little further and furrowed his eyebrows in worry. "Have you been drinking?"

He sounded like a parent interrogating a disobedient child which struck fear into Anna's heart.

On second thought, why should she be afraid of him? They're in a phone call now and he could not hit her!

"You b*stard, you're the world's worst b*stard-"

"You're the most ambitious and talented of b*stards!"

"You big b*stard!"

Liam was utterly confused by Anna's scolding. "Where are you? I'm coming to pick you up."

Liam quickly took his jacket and headed toward the exit as he spoke.

The company's staff who were working overtime instantly smiled ecstatically when they saw their boss leaving. It felt like the dark clouds above them were lifted and they could happily continue working overtime.

"You big b*stard! You big b*stard!"

Anna continuously scolded Liam but he still remained silent, no sounds were coming from the other end. When Anna looked at her phone, it turned out that Liam had already hung up.

"You big b*stard! You actually hung up on me! Go to hell!"

Anna tapped her phone hard to vent her anger as she staggered and spun on the spot.

"Go to hell! Liam!"

Anna texted Liam, "You're a b*stard" dozens of times continuously.

Liam got in his car and used his phone to connect to the position of Anna's wristband. He determined the location and hastily drove toward it.

Anna wandered the streets for a while until she sobered up a little. She then slapped herself on the head.

"Did I do something dumb?"

The further she walked, the fewer the streetlights and cars were no longer passing by the road.

She was a little scared so she quickly turned around and went back the way she came. But not long later, she felt that someone was following her.

She hastily looked around her surroundings and saw that there was no one.

The dim surroundings were especially scary so she picked up her pace.

As she walked, she still felt that she was being followed. She stopped and quickly looked back...

There was still no one.

Was it her imagination?

Anna tried her best to keep herself together and quickly stood by the road to call a cab.

She waited a long time but there was not a single cab in sight. She felt a bit uneasy.

Suddenly, Anna felt a pat on the back and screamed out of fright.

"Ah-"

She quickly hugged herself and immediately turned around to see a shabbily dressed middle-aged man wearing a cap, staring at her unblinkingly with a pair of cloudy eyes. "Miss, I suppose you dropped this."

Anna looked at the gray wallet, it was indeed hers." Thank you, Mister. It's indeed mine."

"Check and see if you've lost anything." The man smiled honestly.

Anna quickly took the wallet and opened it up. Her mother's photo was still there, along with two hundred dollar notes, her ID and cards were safe and sound.

"Thank you, mister. This wallet is really important to me, I appreciate it."

Anna took out the notes in her wallet and gave them to the man as a reward but he declined.

"Returning your dropped wallet is something that ought to be done, there's no need for a reward! Be careful, Miss. It's not safe to be walking alone late at night, you should go home soon. Make sure your bag's zipper is up too," said the man kindly.

Anna quickly looked at her bag and sure enough, it was unzipped. Her wallet had fallen out when she was stumbling around. Anna thanked him profusely and it just so happened that a cab arrived. She got in the cab and continued to thank the man. The man waved his hand at her. "Goodbye, Miss."

The man took off his cap when the car was far gone. He brushed his short, white hair and smiled with deep wrinkles on his eyes. "We'll see each other again, Miss Anna."
