Take Control of Yourself, Please novel (Anna and Liam)
Chapter 262 Keep A Distance From You

Liam roared in fury; Anna hurriedly squeezed her eyes shut in fear.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was just curious, so I thought to ask you."

She was indeed very curious because everything that he did could not be explained logically at all.

Usually, companies decide whether to hire staff based on professional and technical considerations. Among the three parts of the assessment that Liam set, only the second portion which tested them on their survival skills was acceptable, the first and the third portion was about the service industry, replaceing a link between the two was indeed difficult.

"You're right! I used my influence to fulfill my private desires!" Flames of anger roared through the depths of his eyes, lighting them ablaze. "Anna Hamilton, you are the first person who dared to talk back to me like this! You are also the first to go against me!"

"Even if I did use my power for personal gain, what can you do!"

Anna was speechless.

There was indeed nothing she could do, but she never thought her curiosity might indeed kill the cat, in this case, she was the unlucky cat.

"Did I indulge you too much, and now you can't even see reality!"

Liam stormed towards her, held her chin tightly, and forced her to look up at his handsome face, distorted with anger.

Anna was starting to grow agitated too, this man's emotions were volatile like an active volcano!

"I can see reality! I don't need you to indulge me!" She felt like she was talking to his nostrils.

She had finally stepped on the landmine that was Liam Ackman, and now he exploded.

"Anna Hamilton, I told you before, the fact that I slept with you, is an honor to you!" He said coldly, tone haughty and arrogant.

His naked disdain and contempt was the last straw.

"I don't think so! Liam Ackman, let me tell you, I feel humiliated for sleeping with you!"

His ice-cold gaze swept across her stubborn face, darkening till they were nothing but pools of coal.

"Anna Hamilton, what did you say?"

Inexplicably, she felt so helpless and indignant her eyes started to water, "Why? Why are you doing this to me? In your mind, am I so unbearable? What the hell am I to you?!" She shoved his large hands away, "I know! I know you don't like me! Since you don't like it, why don't you let me go, why do you have to continue torturing me like this!"

She clutched her disheveled clothes to her body and shouted, "Are you happy? Does it satisfy your perverted need, to see me like this?"

"I already broke up with Bryan! I can't fulfill your need for excitement anymore, why don't you just let me go!"

Faced with her torrent of questions, the flames of anger in the depths of his burned even brighter, the air around him turning icy cold. "Do you really think that's all there is to this?"

"What else is there!" it H

At her statement, he was rendered speechless.

What else is there? He didn't know himself.

He just knew he liked being with her, he had even grown to rely on her. He couldn't leave her side.

But the exact reason why, he didn't know, and he could replace no rational explanation for his feelings.

"Then let me go! We'll live our own lives; you keep to yourself and I'll do the same!" Anna stood up, eyes cruel and determined.

Liam felt a torrent of flames burn through his chest, he grabbed her stubborn chin once again, gazing at her pale and beautiful face, and said in a tone as cold as the depths of hell, "You want to keep your distance from me? Do you have the ability to do so?"

"It hurts, let go..."

Anna met his burning gaze stubbornly, her eyes starting to water.

Liam looked at her, biting her lip, trying to force her tears back into her eyes, and a bout of unbidden anxiety overtook him. He flung her away from him, as if she burned him, and turned his back against her. "Didn't I tell you, if you beg me, you don't have to do any of this?"

Anna laughed bitterly, "Beg you? I'm sorry, Mr.

Ackman, my pride won't allow me to."

Thunder clouds covered his face, the flames in his chest rose even higher, searching for an outlet.

He glanced at her coldly, and spat out the words slowly, "You wanted to know, why did I design the practical exam like this?"

"Why?"

The question flew out of her mouth, but she regretted it immediately because she somehow felt the answer would hurt her. Sure enough.

Liam scoffed coldly, "Anna Hamilton, I just wanted to show you, in my hands, you are nothing but a helpless little pet. All you can do is please me!" Anna's heart felt like she was being torn into pieces.

His every word was like a bullet to her chest, piercing through her skin and exploding outwards, causing an outpour of blood and burning flesh.

In the end, she was nothing to him but a pet bought to please him.

Hah...

That's why he was especially gentle to her when he was in a good mood, but when he wasn't, he would torture her to no end without a care for her feelings.

Because she was nothing but a pet.

This heartless, cold bastard!

She sucked in her tears, and said with an empty laugh, "Alright, I know that now."

She turned, rearranged her clothes, lowered her head, her long hair covered her palm-sized face, and couldn't hold back her tears anymore. They fell from her face like a broken string of pearls, hidden amongst her curtain of midnight-black hair without a single trace.

Finally, she wiped her face dry and looked at his tall figure expressionlessly, tone strange and distant.

"Mr. Ackman, with your power and influence, you can take anyone as your pet, but I am not a cat or a dog nor am I one of your whores. I won't spend my energy trying to please you and join their ranks." "And, if a person doesn't treat others with basic respect, he doesn't deserve to be respected either. See you."

"Oh, no, I mean goodbye."

With that, she glanced at him with empty eyes, turned, and left.

Liam heard the cold slam of the door shutting behind her, turned around slowly, and stared at the shut door. All of a sudden, his chest felt empty.

He raised his fist and slammed it into the wall. A boneshattering pain emanated from his knuckles and enveloped him whole.

What is this?

Wasn't she just a pet all along? Since she refused, he could just get another one, why was his heart aching so badly?

Was it because he felt indignant that he was dumped by a woman?

That must be it!

"Anna Hamilton, I will make you come back and beg on your knees before me!"

Anna insisted on finishing all her tasks.

Even if she knew she didn't stand a chance this time around, she, Anna Hamilton, was not the kind of woman who gave up before it all ended!

After the restaurant closed for business, everyone gathered at the meeting room of the Grand Lexus Hotel, awaiting the final results.

Everyone sat waiting quietly but after a long time, Finch still did not enter to announce the results.

Nina tugged at Anna's sleeve, "Anna, what's wrong? Why are your eyes so red?"

"Nothing much, I didn't get enough rest these past few days."

"Sigh, who knows who will win this time around! Look at Jennifer, she looks terrified, maybe a lot of her points got deducted."

At this moment, the door to the meeting room opened, Finch walked in dressed from head to toe in black, everyone felt their hearts lodging in their throats. The room was completely silent, even the sound of a pin dropping could be heard."
