Chapter 44 The Women's Piercing Screams
Anna and Bryan had just arrived at the cinema when Anna's cell phone started to ring. It was an unknown number. Anna answered it warily.
"Hello?"
"Hello, I'm the new director of the University of Johannes. I'm calling you to inform you that you need to come here right now to attend the meeting on the fifth floor of the main building at the university. Anna was stunned. This voice sounded a little familiar but she could not place the voice right at that moment.
"What meeting is this? Is it really urgent?"
After all, it was already 10 p.m. Did she really have to go to school at this time at night for a meeting? It was a joke right?
She heard the person on the other side of the phone started to get angry, "Get over here right now!"
Bryan saw Anna's frowning face and asked, "What's wrong, Anna? Has something happened?"
Anna was deep in thought. It did not matter what type of meeting it was, it was a good excuse to ditch Bryan. Her mood improved leaps and bounds at the opportunity. She smiled apologetically and responded, "I'm sorry,
Bryan. There's an important meeting at the university that I've just been told that I'll need to attend. I'm afraid that I won't be able to watch a movie with you."
"A meeting at the university? It won't matter if you don't go, right?"
"You know that I'm about to graduate, these things are extremely tricky and I'll need to be there in person."
"But it's already 10 p.m! Why would the university choose to have a meeting this late at night?"
Anna rushed to explain, "I heard that there's a new director at the university. I think something urgent must have happened."
Bryan looked extremely disappointed. He tried to keep his emotions in check and said softly, "Okay then. I'll drop you there."
Bryan turned the car around. However, they had not arrived at the university yet when Anna's phone rang again. She glanced at the number on the screen. It was the name number as before! She quickly answered the phone.
"Hello? Is everything okay?"
"No, I'm not okay." A deep, husky male voice rang out from her phone,
"Huh?" Anna was stunned. She stared at her phone curiously to see if the number was the same one as before.
At that moment, the voice on the phone spoke, "What's wrong? I've just helped you. How can you forget about me so quickly?"
"What!?"
Anna's brain started to kick into action. 'This was extremely suspicious. Even though the voice was a little familiar, wasn't this the university director's voice? Why did it sound like another boss's voice?' wondered Anna.
"Haha, how can you not know me after you've bitten me just now? Turns out you're truly a wicked little rabbit!"
Liam Ackman!
It was him!!!
This fellow somehow got her cell phone number. Why could she not shake off his haunting presence!?
Anna raised her gaze to look at Bryan who was next to her and lowered the volume of her cell phone. She whispered, "What do you want?"
"Oh, you're so cold. You're much more passionate in bed!"
UH
Anna gritted her teeth tightly and said, "Goodbye!"
"Woman! Don't you dare hang up!" 'Haha,' thought Anna as she hung up and immediately switched off her cell phone.
When she thought about Liam over the phone, she was so angry that all the blood shot to her face. Anna could not stop her lips from curving upwards as she gently chuckled.
"Anna, who was that? Why are you so happy now?" asked Bryan as he continued to drive.
Anna was caught off-guard by his question. Was she happy? She immediately felt a little frustrated. She did not like these uncontrollable emotions revealed on her face. Especially those that were relating to that perverted 'uncle'!
She quickly rearranged her face and replied, "Nothing. It was just a call from the university. My internship has been arranged."
Bryan responded with an 'oh' and then said, "What's there to be happy about an internship? If you want, you could have your pick of any position at the Lincoln Group or the Dawson Group."
Anna leaned against her seat and shut her eyes. "I want to rely on my own ability to complete my internship."
Once they arrived at the university entrance, Bryan's cell phone started to vibrate unceasingly. He looked perturbed.
Anna could not be bothered to ask him about his life and knew that it was Chloe picking a fight with Bryan because she was upset. Hence, Anna got out of the car and quickly rushed into the university. Bryan's voice rang out from behind her. "Anna. What time does your meeting end? I'll wait for you."
"You don't have to. I'm going to sleep in the university dorm tonight." Anna did not even bother to turn her head back.
Bryan felt a little exasperated. His perfectly planned date had somehow ended up like this. Besides that, Chloe had been pestering him non-stop, telling him that she felt ill and needed him to head over to spend time with her.
Bryan turned his gaze towards Anna's figure in the distance and gently stroked his chin.
'Anna Hamilton. One day, I will make you fall madly in love with me," thought Bryan.
The best way to bring out the passionate and gentle feelings in a woman towards a man is to take her to bed and ravage her. That was the only way to subdue her and make her obedient to him, just like Chloe Bryan rushed back into the car and gave Chloe a call." Okay... Okay, baby. I've dropped Anna off. I'm coming now to spend time with you."
"Okay, darling. Your baby is waiting for you."
Bryan hung up. A fire had been lit inside him and could be seen within his eyes. He could hardly wait to see Chloe.
Liam sat in his car as he called Anna's cell phone repeatedly. However, the same message prompt kept playing, telling him that her phone had been switched off.
Liam had a stormy expression and his body radiated with cold energy.
"How dare she hang up on me! Anna Hamilton, you are dead!!!"
James was driving the car in the front. He could feel the sudden cold air within the car. He could not help shiver and nearly swerved.
James sighed internally. Ever since he started working for Mr. Ackman, they had saved on air conditioning! Mr. Ackman could regulate the temperature. It was green and environmentally friendly! i "Head to the University of Johannes!"
James quickly changed direction and drove straight towards the University of Johannes.
The University of Johannes where Anna studied at was the best in Johannes City attended only by the elite.
Everything at the university was world class from the teaching staff to all their facilities. All the students were either of noble ancestry, or their academic performance was among the top in the country.
At the University of Johannes, the university regulations were extremely strict. The students needed to achieve more than 90 marks in all subjects and before their graduation, they needed to complete two internships. The first one had to be theory-based while the second internship was practical. Their performance would then needed to be acknowledged by more than 80 percent of the tutors before they would be able to graduate successfully.
Even though the rules were extremely unusual, it was because of these rules that the University of Johannes was able to produce all-rounded, outstanding talents.
Anna was a computer science major. Thanks to her mother's foresight, the Lincoln Group had taken bold and resolute steps into this promising new industry. That decision had allowed the Lincoln family to achieve a certain level of success and become a truly wealthy family.
Anna had not gone back into the university, instead, she had taken a long detour to the noodles stall outside her university and bought two portions of fried noodles. When she left the noodle stall, she walked along Linden street until she arrived at the women's dormitories.
At the University of Johannes, since many of the students were from noble families, they usually had more social engagements. Hence, the dormitory management was more relaxed and there was no curfew. Due to this, the dormitories were usually quite lively, with people coming and going non-stop. This was especially true when it was close to midnight.
Tonight, the area below the women's dormitories seemed to be more lively and bustling than usual. There were many ladies gathered on the ground floor. All of them were shrieking, wearing expressions full of wonder and amazement.
Anna's interest was piqued. Hence, she stretched out her head to get a good look among the crowd...
It was a shame that the street lamps were dim and there were so many people surrounding the area that she could not clearly see what was happening at the front.
The twittering sound of the girls speaking could be heard among the crowd.
"Wow! He's so handsome!"
"I wonder who he's here to see since he's waiting below the women's dormitories. That girl is so lucky!"
"Oh my gosh! He looks just like... the person that I saw at the birthday banquet of Madam Dawson, the matriarch of the Dawson family."
"He's the Ackman prince, Liam Ackman!"
In an instant, the ear-piercing screams of the women there intensified. It was like a celebrity had appeared.
