Take Control of Yourself, Please novel (Anna and Liam)

Chapter 590 This Is a Good Thing

A smile flashed secretly through the dark eyes of Liam. He quickly wrote down his name on the contract.

He thought that Anna would turn down the project.

He came up with thousands of plans, forcing her to accept the project, but he never thought of her accepting it so freely.

'Has she already given up on me?'

"You really surprised me by accepting it so quickly,” Liam said as he fished signing on the paperwork. He held the pen with his slim and delicate fingers, then threw it on the table.

He gazed at the pretty face of Anna in an almost sincere way.

Anna didn't catch on to him, but she still figured out the general idea.

"Do you mean accepting the project? It's really unnecessary for us to meet in private, but business is business, and we should be professional and separate our personal matters from it. I mean this is a basic quality for any successful worker," she said.

Then she looked at his handsome face and gave him a gentle smile.

She would never bail on Liam’s big project, as it would bring them loads of money.

In addition, the newly-established department really needed the case to work on its reputation and fame.

'As Liam is so willing to offer us the money, why would I shut him out and make my work more difficult.’

'After all, Liam owes me! It's about time to get something back from him.’

'More importantly, no smart person would have it in for the money.'

Anna was also doing this to remind herself that she would no longer hide from Liam, as she realized that sometimes the more she is evasive and afraid of him, the more difficult Liam would make her life be like.

"Now Ms. Anna, please spare no efforts designing the piece of jewellery, as I really depend on you to get closer to the woman I love the most," Liam said gently as he restrained himself from being too grim. The smile on his thin lips was almost enchanting.

Anna dared not to see that smile, so she looked down and robotically picked up the pen and signed her name down on the contract quickly.

The contract came into force as they both signed on it.

However, it somehow reminded Anna of their divorce papers where their names were written next to each other just like this.

Liam leaned against the back of the chair. His aura returned cold but his eyes was still on Anna in an appreciative way.

"Ms. Anna, should we go celebrate as the contract is officially effective?"

"What?” Anna put down the pen and frowned.

However, she put on a smile easily as she had been used to deal with him.

"Celebrate? I don't think it's necessary to celebrate a project that Mr. Liam would hardly pay attention to," she said.

“After all, you are designing a piece of jewellery for the woman I love the most, so it is meaningful to me," Liam replied.

"Then you should go and celebrate with her, why pick our company employees to celebrate with," Anna said.

"Don't worry, Mr. Liam, our company will come up with a designing scheme that satisfies you and your most beloved one. We will make her the prettiest wherever she goes," she turned him down neatly, which even surprised herself. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

'Am I already able to face him this frankly? This is a good thing, and I'm willing to see this,' she thought.

Hence, Anna's expression became more relaxed.

"Thank you for coming and take care," she said.

"But it's still much of a trouble for you, Ms. Anna,"

Liam said but did not intend to stand up and leave.

Suddenly, he bent over and leaned close to Anna. His eyes were sparkling and smile attractive.

"It’s always worthy of a celebration when two companies reach collaborative agreements, and it's only formal to do so. Though you just took the post recently, I’m sure Ms. Anna knows how to socialize."

"I believe it's enough to finish our due task and give you an excellent design scheme. It’s really unnecessary for us to socialize,” Anna said as her eyes dimmed.

"The project is worth of nearly a hundred million dollars, shouldn't we have further discussion about i t?" Liam laughed and said.

'See? Liam finally gave away his intention. I knew he i s not easy-going. Now he has unveiled his captious nature. He pretended to be generous and big-hearted, saying that he is only an easy-going customer. He is the least easy-going one!' Anna criticized him in her heart.

"You are so ceremonious Mr. Liam, but don't bother to dine with me. We can talk it through here," Anna said with a smile as she started to put the documents on the table into order.

'What's good to dine with him in private? I will not fall into his trap again.'

"I think you’ve mistaken me. I am inviting your whole department, not only you," Liam put on a smirk.

He even stressed the last few words to tease her secretly.

Anna blinked as she couldn't believe his words. 'He is so scheming!'

Anna bit her lips and stared at him silently. Finally she gave him a flirting smile and said: "Okay, I thank you for your treat on behalf of my whole department."

'He is willing to pay for the food, why say no to that? The department is newly established, so it's perfect timing to dine together and close the gap between us. I should thank Liam for the opportunity. After all, he helps us save a spending.'

Anna looked up at him proudly.

'It’s only a lunch. I will not refuse it. Don't think I will b e afraid.' She thought.

Liam stood up and looked at his extravagant watch and said: "It's lunch time. It's better today than someday else, let’s go now."

Anna clenched her fist but still put on an attractive smile. She stood up and said: "Okay, I’ll inform all of m y employees now."

The newly-established department is not big, but there are nearly a hundred staff members including the receptionist, janitors and security men.

Anna led them to Liam and had them thank him for his treat. Then the group of people followed him out the company.

Liam looked at the massive crowd and frowned a little bit.

He thought that Anna would only invite the managers, as there are only two or three people in the new department that are qualified to sit and dine with him besides Anna.

It never came to him that Anna would invite the janitors and the guards.

He thought that the little one has grown much during the years and learned to outwit him.

The sun was warm at noon, scorching the road. The heat made people sleepy.

Anna stretched herself like a pussy cat.

She was only trying to refresh and brace herself up to deal with Liam.

Liam gazed at her fervently, thinking about embracing her in arms and having a good taste of her, but he restrained himself from doing so, as there was a huge crowd of people behind them.
