Take Control of Yourself, Please novel (Anna and Liam) -
Chapter 228 I Want You for Dinner
Anna turned around and left. Her attitude took everyone by surprise.
Enraged, Liam's expression was as dark as ink.
What was up with that woman?
He gave her a chance to reclaim her innocence, yet not only was she not thankful, she even showed him that horrible attitude! Did she not know that Jennifer was constantly plotting against her?
Did she not know how to use this as a chance to get rid of her competitor?
Liam scoffed coldly. He turned around and left too.
Jennifer was delighted to see Liam's fury. It seemed like Anna was not far from being eliminated.
"Ms. Olivia, it wasn't me. Anna is disrespecting Mr. Ackman and Director Wright..." Jennifer mumbled to Olivia.
Olivia shot a cold glance at her, making her shut up instantly.
Olivia said to Director Wright respectfully, "Director Wright, how would you suggest we handle this matter? The employee from before is an intern at our hotel. She is Ms. Hamilton of Lincoln Group." "What? Mr. Hamilton... of Lincoln Group?" The expression on Director Wright's face changed in an instant.
Olivia chuckled. "That's right! She's just here on an internship for a few days."
"Even so, is there anything you'd like us to do about this incident?" Olivia still waited for Director Wright's instructions. "Would you like to proceed with the complaint? Her status may be special, but we will still treat this incident strictly."
Of course, Director Wright had no guts to complain anymore. Lincoln Group might not have been comparable to Ackman Group, but a small company like Director Wright's still could not afford to offend a n organization as large as Lincoln Group.
Director Wright smiled and said, "It's okay! I'll just have a change of clothes and we can leave this all behind us!"
Having said that, Director Wright hastily scurried away.
Jennifer was left dumbfounded at her spot. Her heart thumped violently when she saw Olivia's face turned even colder.
"Jennifer Wurst, you may be the precious daughter of Wurst Group, but if you want to continue your assessment here, please obey the rules," Olivia reminded apathetically.
Although she was just a measly hotel supervisor, she still had a reliable pillar of support behind her. Even
Jennifer's father had to show Olivia some respect.
"Pretending to be weak to lower your enemy's guard is a good strategy. However, you should still consider the situation! Don't try to play any tricks!"
"Ms. Olivia, I don't know what you're talking about. Hehe..." Jennifer chuckled wryly.
"Then let's take a look at the security footage and replace out how Hamilton suddenly bumped into a guest!"
Olivia's breathing stopped for a second. Her face turned ashen. "Ms. Olivia..."
A look of disgust flashed across Olivia's eyes. "I hate these wicked little tricks the most!"
Jennifer's face instantly flushed red. Even so, she protested disgruntledly, "You saw how rude Anna was! Yet I'm the only one at fault here! Aren't you being too biased toward her?"
"I only care about the root cause of the incident and who is to blame for that! If you're not happy with that, you can lodge a complaint against me! However, I must remind you, you must earn that right first. Righ now, you are just a student in an assessment. Unless you drop out of it!"
Jennifer gritted her teeth in rage. Even so, she did not dare to make a squeak.
Olivia continued, "After all, Director Wright will soon check out from our hotel." "Why?" Jennifer blurted out.
"Our chairman will not tolerate guests with such an attitude. How arrogant!" Olivia flipped through a notebook in her hands, then continued, "We will arrange a different guest for you! Remember, no playing tricks! Mr. Ackman's eyes are even sharper than mine!"
Jennifer's face turned pale. She protested, "Why is Mr. Ackman Anna's guest? Why not mine!"
"You have to ask Mr. Ackman about that. I have no authority over that. Thirty points deducted from Jennifer Wurst."
Having said that, Olivia left without even glancing back.
Jennifer clenched her fists and gritted her teeth-that was the only way she could resist her urge of screaming in rage.
Anna returned to Liam's guest room. Nina saw the furious expression on her face. Just as she was about to ask what happened, Liam came in too.
"Get out!" Liam ordered coldly.
Anna and Nina headed to the door together.
Liam growled in a low voice, "Anna Hamilton, are you trying to act dumb!"
Anna stopped in her steps.
Nina gazed at Anna with a worried expression, then hurriedly brushed past her and escaped that land of death.
The room door closed, leaving Liam and Anna alone inside.
"What was that? Throwing a tantrum?" Liam yelled.
"I didn't! I wouldn't dare!" Anna turned her back toward him, scrunching her dainty face up angrily.
Liam grabbed her shoulders and turned her around. He shouted at her, "Do you have a brain, woman! You always look like you don't know what to do when someone tries to frame you!" "And you're so smart? Or do you just think you're smart!
"I knew from the beginning that the lipstick stain was not mine! But doesn't your hotel have a rule that says a customer's dissatisfaction is always the employee's fault? I don't want my marks to be deducted anymore! And I don't want to be complained about!
"My marks are already in the negatives!" Anna struggled angrily but did not manage to push Liam away.
"Do you think you can get out of this with a clean slate by throwing a tantrum and storming off? More of your marks will be deducted for that kind of attitude!" Liam scolded.
Anna held her head high and gazed into his deep dark eyes. "I couldn't stand having so many women casting flirtatious glances at you! I am only human, not some goddess! I still have temper and feelings!"
11 H
Liam was staggered.
They were both talking about completely different things!
"You are amazing; you are mighty; you are incredibly domineering. You can solve all the problems in the world with the snap of a finger! You've won over the hearts of hordes of women, making all of them stammer in the face of your charm!"
Liam's brows knitted tighter and tighter together. He had no idea who these 'hordes of women' stammered in front of him were.
"You don't know why you bumped into that guest!" Liam could die from his anger toward her. Why was that woman always being bullied?
"I know! Someone tried to trip me!" Anna turned away. "What good would it do me to point that out? This is an assessment. It's not a time for schemes and trickery! Besides, in that situation, if I really was a bellhop, was I supposed to forget about the guest's problem and argue with my co-worker over why she tripped me?"
Liam was suddenly amused. "How kind of you, but you still lack the ability to control the overall situation."
Anna was still mad. She did not even glance at him.
"Are you jealous?" There was an abrupt warmth in
Liam's voice.
"No!"
"You clearly are!"
"Nuh-uh!" She was still facing away from him.
"Look here!" he ordered.
"I don't want to!"
"What do you want then?" he asked abruptly.
Anna was stunned for a while. "I don't want anything!"
Seeing her carefully evading the trap he set made the smile on his face widen a little.
"Are you sure you don't want anything?"
"I am certain!" Anna rubbed her face angrily. "It's almost dinnertime. What do you want? Tell me earlier so I can prepare it properly. I don't want my marks to be deducted again." Liam suddenly carried her and kissed her.
"I want you."
"Mmm..."
