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

Liam Ackman!

As soon as she heard his name, Anna's entire body instantly tensed up. Why was he here at her university dormitory!? Could it be that he had come here to teach her a lesson for switching off her phone?

Anna looked up reluctantly to confirm if the person surrounded by all these women was actually Liam. In the end, she managed to see a tall, strapping figure and catch a glimpse of the outstandingly handsome face of Liam Ackman among the crowd.

He wore his usual cool and indifferent expression as he stood amongst a sea of admirers. His eyes were emotionless, as though he were in a separate world from all the admirers cheering around him. James walked out of the dormitory and respectfully reported to Liam, "Mr. Ackman, she's not here."

In an instant, Liam's expression seemed to become even colder. Liam slowly turned his head round. Anna was caught by surprise and ran to hide behind a large tree.

Liam's cold eyes swept across the faces of the crowd of women. His cold and haughty gaze caused many women to hold their breath in excitement. However, a s soon as they sensed the murderous intent in his gaze, the lively atmosphere immediately went silent.

The only sound that could be heard was the rustling of the tree leaves.

Liam took a step and the women rushed to clear the way and make a path for him. James raced to keep up with Liam. As soon as he felt the strong chill emanating all over Liam's body, he gave an involuntary shiver and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Ackman, what do we do now?"

James could not tell if his boss was planning to leave o r continue looking for Anna.

"She must be here in the university!" Liam was not convinced that she would be able to escape his grasp!

Liam's cold eyes seemed to act like a sophisticated scanner as he surveyed the area. Anna was so terrified that she hid behind the large tree once again.

Thankfully, there were a lot of people present. It would not be an easy thing for him to discover her in the darkness of the night. Once she thought about this, Anna no longer felt as nervous.

All of a sudden, Liam's gaze froze and zoned in upon a tall and sturdy tree with a thick trunk. Anna was so frightened that she held her breath and closed her eyes. Her entire body was tense as she prayed unceasingly, hoping that he would not see her...

Otherwise, she feared for what this unbridled big boss would do to her in the presence of all her classmates, embarrassing her to such an extent that she would find it hard to show her face at the university. Liam had already noticed the edge of a beige dress peeking out from behind the large tree. The corner of his lips curved up slightly and the cold aura surrounding him seemed to gradually warm up. This dress was the exact one that he had picked out for her among the numerous styles on offer. It was the design that most closely matched her temperament. Hence, he was able to recognize it at once. James could see that Liam's expression had softened and felt surprised.

"Mr. Ackman?"

"Let's leave! It's late." Liam turned around and started walking up ahead.

James rushed to follow him. "Mr. Ackman, does this mean that we're going to stop looking for her?"

Liam chuckled lightly but did not answer. After all, there was no need to continue searching for her now that he knew that she had arrived safely at the university. It was late and she should get ready for bed. James saw the smile that appeared on Liam's face and scratched his head in confusion. Even though he did not know why his boss was smiling, James could confirm that Liam had unpredictable mood swings...

It was getting worse!

Anna peeked out from behind the large tree. When she saw that Liam had left, she let out a long sigh of relief.

Finally, that irritable man was gone!

She planned to run up to her dorm as soon as she snuck out from behind the tree. However, Liam suddenly turned back, scaring Anna back into hiding behind that large tree. She did not dare to move one bit. The women who had remained in place all wore dreamy expressions as their eyes sparkled with hope.

"It looks like he's looking at me..."

"He's looking at me, okay!"

"Stop arguing! He's gay! There's no way that he likes girls!"

Anna carefully sneaked a look but she had not expected to see that Liam had suddenly turned back. It gave her another fight, and she returned to hide behind the tree, not daring to move.

The women continued to bicker.

"He's looking at me! He must think that I'm really pretty!"

"Even if he's gay, he might still like women and be bi. If a beautiful goddess of a woman appeared in his life, he might be tempted to go straight..."

When it seemed like Liam had gone far enough, Anna quickly ran to her dorm to leave that group of crazy, jealous, and love-struck women fighting over him.

Anna's dorm was a four-person room. Two of the girls there rarely stayed there. As for Anna, she would only occasionally return to the dorm. Hence, the only one who stayed at their dorm was Nina Scott.

Nina Scott was Anna's best friend. She did not come from a well-off family background. Her mother had raised her single-handedly. Thankfully, Nina had excellent grades which was why she had been able to get admitted into the University of Johnnes with her exceptional scores.

However, the school fee of the University of Johannes was exorbitant. To lessen the burden on her mother, Nina worked as she studied. She had several part-time jobs after school each day. It was a really tough life.

Anna was very fond of Nina and had offered to help Nina with her school fees. However, Nina rejected her offer each time. Nina even smiled at her and said, "I have my hands and feet. I'm not sick or disabled. I can support myself with my own efforts. Anna, if you really want to help me, you can take notes for me in class if I ever miss it because of my jobs."

Anna pushed open the door and walked in. Nina was reading a book with a pen in her mouth.

"Nina." Anna called out.

Nina greeted her happily. "Anna! You're back. Someone came to the dorm looking for you. I told them that you wouldn't be back today." "It was a man. A really handsome man!" said Nina as she looked at Anna with a bright smile.

"Oh... It's just one of the assistants from home. Haha..."

Anna laughed in embarrassment. The person that Nina was speaking of must be James. He was pretty handsome. However, when compared with Liam, the difference was like comparing heaven and earth. "Nina, you must not have had dinner yet. I've bought you two portions of fried noodles." Anna quickly brought out the package in her hand. "I'm sorry, it's gone a little cold now."

Nina hurried to take the package and said, "It's alright, it'll be fine to eat once I've heated it up. You're the best, Anna, to know that I've not eaten."

"Of course, I know you well. How can your body cope if you frequently skip meals?"

Nina smiled so sweetly that her eyes looked like two beautiful crescents. She had two lovely dimples on her cheeks which made her look extremely adorable.

"I'm just lazy. It's close to exam season and I've been too busy studying, that's why I've not gone downstairs."

Anna gently tapped Nina's head and said, "Your laziness has reached new heights!"

Nina playfully stuck out her tongue as she heated up the noodles in the microwave. She then asked. "Anna, did you expose the horrendous behavior of Bryan and Chloe at Madam Dawson's birthday celebration? Did you give them a good slap each?" "Was it Jamie who told you about it?"

Anna's expression became gloomy. She felt despondent that she could not escape from this swirling whirlpool but instead seemed to be sucked deeper and deeper into the mess.

"Now is not the time..." Anna lowered her eyelashes, using them to hide the confusion in her eyes.

Once Nina saw Anna trying to hold back her emotions, she felt heartbroken. "I've always thought that people from rich families like you lived carefree lives. You don't have to worry about what you eat or what you wear, or even stress about finding a job. However, when it comes to love, you don't have any control over your own love life."

"Love?" Anna felt a pang in her heart. She found it laughable.

"What is love? It's a concept that is too far out of reach for me."

At that moment, Anna's wristband rang out. The sudden sound of children singing frightened her.

Instantly, all the dull repressed feelings that she felt were dispelled. The atmosphere immediately seemed different.
