Take Control of Yourself, Please novel (Anna and Liam)
Chapter 256 You're Heartless

Anna was determined to go against Liam.

Liam pointed at his cheek innocently and said, "You kissed me, you must take responsibility."

Anna almost vomited blood, "I've been kissed by you countless times, why don't you take responsibility?"

"I did!"

"When? Where? I didn't see you doing so!"

"You're so heartless, what can you see!"

"Hmph! Excuses!" Anna pursed her lips, turning her face to the side.

Liam stared at her full, pursed lips, and swallowed, "If you do this again, I..."

Anna could feel the changes in his body, she hurriedly changed her expression and said to him sternly, "I'm serious! I want to use my own abilities, and gain my rightful place as number one! I don't want anyone thinking I cheated and took the easy way out; I also don't want to feel any traces of guilt when I finally make it."

"Besides..." Anna lowered her eyes, long lashes fluttering, "The reward I got this time, I didn't win fair and square. Although the proposal that was approved in the end was a completely new idea, I did apply the previous sample in some portions."

"And the two new proposals I prepared for you; both were made with the sample film I made in school."

Liam furrowed his thick, dark eyebrows, "Anna, people like you have gone extinct from society a long time ago! The world is not just black and white."

Anna stared at him in shock, turned to look at the black and white themed decor, and whispered, "And I thought like me, to you everything was black and white, it's either love or hate."

Liam understood she was teasing him, and his expression darkened.

"Anna, society only sees your success, no one cares how you achieved it."

Anna nodded softly, "I know but still, I don't feel competent enough."

"A person's ability can be deduced from academics or knowledge, or technical superiority, but the main component is his ability to do good deeds. If he doesn't have the ability to do good deeds, however powerful he is, he's just a useless ornament!"

Anna stared at his deep, dark eyes, and a gradual understanding formed.

"As long as you succeed, no one cares how you achieved it! Life is not a textbook, and you're not a hero in the history books, you've been studying too much, your brain has gone haywire." Anna was still confused, "The things you said, I think I

understood, but yet I didn't."

"I'm telling you, all is fair in love and war."

UH

Anna glared at him, even though the things he said made a lot of sense, but they were negative examples!

The kind that a heartless man like him will produce!

Liam flipped himself up, "Alright, I can wait until the assessment is over."

Anna nodded furiously, "Good! Good!"

She huffed out a long breath of relief.

"But after the assessment, I want to enjoy a 'big' meal."

He placed his emphasis on the word 'big', if she didn't understand the innuendo, she would be stupid.

When she was about to protest, Liam glared at her, eyes conveying the message 'if you protest I'll eat you up now', she could only nod in agreement.

"Sure! Sure!"

"Get up!" He ordered.

"What... what do you want?" She wrapped the blankets tightly around her body to cover herself and sat up on the bed.

"Take a shower." He ordered her again.

Anna hesitated, she clutched the blankets, tightening them around her.

Liam said unhappily, "What? You want me to bathe you again? You've grown addicted to me serving you!"

"No, no! I'm not! I'll bathe myself." Anna hurriedly jumped down the bed, still clutching the blankets against her, rushed to the bathroom, locked the door behind her, and started her bath.

When she walked out of the bathroom with the towel wrapped tightly around her, Liam was sitting on the sofa, a first-aid kit once again placed on the table in front of him.

"Come here!"

"What... what do you want?" She approached him gingerly.

"Sit down!"

His cold, dominating gaze swept over her and she could do nothing else but sit down obediently.

"Change your bandages!" He ordered again.

Anna flipped open the bandages, the wound was almost completely healed, but scabs still covered the wound. She applied the ointment carefully, held the roll of bandages, and wound it around her arm a few times. Unfortunately, she didn't know how to tie a bandage properly.

"It's almost healed, I just need a band-aid, I can forgo the bandages." "No!" He shouted.

"Ugh, okay, okay," she continued tying the bandages clumsily, in the end, her arm looked like the fat, white, baby in the Michelin tire advertisements.

She smiled at him sweetly, "All done! Mission accomplished!"

Liam rolled his eyes at her coldly, "Stupid!"

He pulled her arm towards himself, opened the bandages and tied them up again neatly, then flung her arm away.

"So stupid!"

Anna bowed her head, stealing a glance at him. When she saw his expression remained cold as ice, she hurriedly lowered her eyes again.

Men suffering from blue-balls had an even worse temper than women on their periods.

"What are you thinking about?" He asked suddenly.

Anna jumped up in shock, hurriedly waved her arms in denial, "No... nothing! It just looks like you're in a bad mood and need time to... recuperate!"

Liam suddenly leaned down towards her. She curled back in shock and fell on the sofa in a moment's carelessness, big, bright eyes staring at him nervously.

"I have a lot of burning energy that hasn't been released." He said, voice thick and raspy.

"You, you... can use your hands."

"Your hands!" He grabbed at her small hands.

"N... no!" She couldn't stop shaking her head.

He flung her hands away in anger, grabbed the bolster at the side of the bed, and buried her with it.

Anna flicked away the bolster on her head, hugged it, and stared at Liam who was on the verge of a mental breakdown.

She whispered, "Uhm... I think I should just leave. Maybe you'll feel better."

"Don't you dare!"

Anna lowered her eyes helplessly; she didn't dare leave.

He was very satisfied with how obedient and compliant she was being now, but it also pissed him off. Because the more compliant she was, the more his heart ached.

Damn assessment!

Damn this woman!

How could Liam Ackman be reduced to a man who wanted a woman but couldn't have her?

Liam turned and walked out briskly.

"Where are you going?" She called after him anxiously.

"To take a shower!" He desperately needed cold water

now to douse out his flames.

When he returned, he seemed to have calmed down, the expression on his face was not as terrifying.

Anna heaved a breath of relief, "Uhm... it's late, I should go."

She clutched the towel against her and prepared to change, if she stayed any longer, the sight of his skin peppered with droplets of water might be too much for her to bear.

Liam tugged at her arm and pulled her straight into the bedroom.

"Didn't you promise me you wouldn't? What... what are you doing..." She cried out helplessly.

"Go to bed!"

"You can't, you promised me!"

Liam ignored her, throwing her onto the large bed, "I meant, sleep!"

"It's only 7 pm, isn't it too early to sleep?"

"You're the one who said it's late!" Liam curled his arms around her tightly from behind.

"I... I haven't eaten dinner yet."

"Unless you're willing to cook!"

"Forget it, just go to sleep."
