Take Control of Yourself, Please novel (Anna and Liam)
Chapter 242 Mr. Ackman is Waiting for You

Bad news...

The smiles on Anna and Nina's faces disappeared and as they looked at Ethan uneasily.

"Mr. Collins, don't tell me the client doesn't want our design anymore?" Nina looked like she was going to cry.

Anna's heart sat in her throat, she looked at Ethan nervously, "Does the client not like the creativity we put into our design?"

"No, no, the design is still in our hands, but our client is now another company, the requirements are much stricter than what they used to be, I'm just worried two newcomers wouldn't be able to handle it."

"And the client requested to meet the designer face to face to discuss some of the design requirements," Ethan added.

Anna's heart settled in her chest once again. "As long as they're happy with the design, everything else is negotiable!"

Nina patted her chest, "Mr. Collins, we will try our best and finish it, please don't fire us."

"Uhm... Mr. Collins, when does the client want to meet the designer? Nina and I plan to burn the midnight oil and finish the samples by tonight, I don't think we

have time to go out and socialize..." Anna said softly.

"If it's ok with the company, meeting our client, can someone else do it?"

Ethan looked at Anna, expression awkward, "The client...specifically requested to meet you."

"Me? Why?" Anna was stunned.

Ethan pondered her question for a moment and said," Maybe the client saw your signature on the design and has heard of you before."

In Johannes City, almost everyone involved in the business world knew of Anna Hamilton.

"So you mean, our client knows Anna?" Nina opened her eyes wide and ran through all the possible candidates in her mind, but in the end, shook her head.

"Anna, is it one of your acquaintances you met at all the different balls and functions? If it is, that's great, it'll be easier to discuss terms with them." Nina whispered to her.

Anna scrunched her brows, "if only it were as easy as that."

"If it's too difficult, we'll just reject this case, we'll think of something else." Nina was worried Anna would be used by ill-intentioned parties who took this opportunity to cause trouble for her.

Anna looked at the sample that was near finished, and her eyes brightened gradually. "No, I'll meet them!" Whether lava-spewing mountains or flesh-eating creatures were blocking her path, she would trudge

on.

Seeing her so full of confidence, Ethan smiled in appreciation, "I'll send you the address."

"Call me if anything happens." He added.

Nina turned off the computer and removed the flash drive, "Anna, I'll go with you!"

"Nina, you should stay and finish the sample," Ethan said.

"It's late, I can't let Anna go alone," Nina explained.

"Don't worry, Anna can handle it."

Anna left the company.

Nina stared at her retreating back, "Mr. Collins, you're not worried?"

"I think Anna knows who the client is."

"Huh? Who?"

Ethan shrugged, "I have no idea. Let's get to work!"

Ethan stood in front of the window, watched Anna walk downstairs, and flagged down a taxi.

His mesmerizing feline-like eyes were filled with a questioning glow, he muttered to himself. "What is the relationship between them?"

Anna bowed her head and stared at her phone, the address Ethan sent her, it was Ackman Group!

Of course, it was Liam Ackman!

Did he have so much free time on his hands? What did he want now?!

Was torturing her that fun?

The taxi slowed in front of the Ackman Group.

Anna stood at the foot of the Ackman Group building, raised her head, and looked up at the majestic skyscraper, an unknown pressure building in her chest.

Countless young and capable talents cracked their heads trying to join this company.

Anna's heart sunk in her chest, she sighed under her breath and entered the building.

It was her first time here; the unfamiliar surroundings made her cautious.

"Hello, who are you here to see?" The lady at the front desk asked Anna with a smile.

"I am a designer from SN Advertising Design, I'm here to discuss the details about the advertisement. I'm here to see your CEO, Mr. Liam Ackman."

The front desk lady looked her up and down, then with a light and condescending tone, said, "What is S N? I've never heard of it before. I'm sorry but you should think of a better excuse the next time you

come over."

She had seen many girls like this, using all sorts of excuses just for the chance to meet Liam, in that instance, she categorized Anna as one of those girls.

"You can call and ask; I am here on invitation," Anna said steadily.

The lady scoffed, "Hey, look here miss, you are pretty, I'll give you that, but haven't you heard? Mr. Ackman is not easily seduced by women! So many women come to see Mr. Ackman, you're the 10th one today! Please look in the mirror before you set your eyes on him. Please leave, you are getting in the way."

Anna froze, the 10th one?

That's great, Liam!

He sure was popular!

A bout of jealousy flowed through her chest; her expression soured.

"I am here to discuss the contract. I'm not one of the women who want to seduce Mr. Ackman. Please don't get in the way of my work."

The lady was starting to get irritated, "I'm sorry, miss, I still can't let you in. I didn't get any orders about a meeting."

Anna was furious, "Will you let me in or not?"

The lady tried to be polite, she smiled slightly and said, "No."

"Alright! I'll call him now!" Anna took the phone that was given to her for the assessment and realized after a few long seconds that the contact book was completely empty.

The lady stared at her gleefully, and scoffed condescendingly, "Miss, I thought you were going to call someone?"

"I... I...I thought it over and decided not to. Just let me i n."

"Miss, many others have tried this. Please leave, this is not some community center, I don't have time to take care of crazy, desperate women like you!" Her tone was growing gradually unfriendly. Anna was getting anxious, when she turned her back to leave, James Miller approached them.

"Ms. Hamilton, Ms. Hamilton..."

Upon seeing James addressing her politely, the lady instantly changed her stance, switching the bitter sneer on her face for a bright, beaming smile.

"I see Assistant Miller knows this lady."

She spoke respectfully to James, the smile on her face soft and flirtatious like she was trying to seduce him.

James was Liam's personal assistant, his left arm. When Liam wasn't here, James's words were law as if spoken by the king himself.

The handsome and talented young men in the company were the objects of admiration of countless girls. If she could land James, she would enjoy indescribable wealth and status in the company. However, James did not even spare a glance at the giggly and flirtatious front desk lady, instead, he headed straight for Anna and said respectfully, "Ms. Hamilton, Mr. Ackman is waiting for you."
