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

Chapter 218 Could Have Been Our Imagination

Anna snatched her phone and her world turned upside down when she saw Jamie's chat history on her phone.

Anna raised her fist and threw a punch at Jamie.

"Go to hell, Jamie!"

The phone finally received a message from Charles as Anna spoke.

"This tone, this mannerism, why does it resemble a certain someone so much?” whispered Anna.

"Who?"

Jamie and Nina were interested to know.

Anna quickly shut off her phone and said, "It's nothing! I don't want to chat with him anymore! So embarrassing!"

Anna angrily turned around and left.

Nina hurriedly chased after her. "Anna, where are you going!?"

"Back to school! I want to prepare for tomorrow's assessment! I’m so frustrated!"

Nina silently followed behind Anna. Suddenly, Anna stopped and stared at Nina. "Nina, why did you lose so much weight? Are you still working part-time at the Earldom Club? The internship is starting soon, are you

able to cope with everything?”

Nina caressed her sharp face and spoke plainly.

"Of course I can cope with it!"

"Your mother's illness..." Anna tried to inquire. "Is it still not healed? How about we bring her to the hospital? I truly have enough money to spend."

Nina's expression darkened for a moment and then she said smilingly, "She’s a little better now, it’s fine. All I want now is to work hard to earn money, I must d o my best for this internship assessment!"

"Alright, that's good then.”

"Everything will be fine once I start working in the Ackman Group, I believe I'll be able to do it!” Nina clenched her fist in determination.

"But still, don't overdo it, Nina. You still have me, don’t bear everything alone."

Anna knew that although Nina seemed carefree and strong, in truth she always kept her problems to herself, she did not want people to underestimate her by looking sad all the time. Anna admired Nina but pitied her as well.

Nina also knew that Anna’s situation was unfavorable. Anna has been through so much, her heart must be in pain. Her capabilities were limited and she could not help Anna much so Nina did not want her to worry too much about herself either.

Nina raised her pretty smiley face and said softly, "

Don't worry, Anna. I'm a mini superwoman!”

Anna slowly felt relieved when she saw that Nina had returned to her usual lively self and chuckled lightly." Wow, a mini superwoman. Let me see if you wear your underwear on the outside, haha..."

"Naha, I'm trying to keep a low profile."

Nina's phone suddenly buzzed non-stop. She quickly took a look and noticed that it was a group message and exhaled deeply.

"Anna, the students have pulled in more people to bet o n you and Jennifer!"

"What’s wrong with them? That’s going too far!"

Nina's eyes lit up. "Oh, the odds are very high!"

Anna widened her eyes. "You're betting too?"

Nina laughed and said, "Of course! I'm your loyal fan, why wouldn’t I bet that you would win?"

There was a sly glint in Anna’s eyes and she said," Help me place a little bet, that way I'll earn a little extra when I win."

The two of them exchanged looks and laughed." You're so cunning."

“You're cunning, you're cunning."

"It’s you, you, you...”

The two of them bantered as they walked.

Nina suddenly looked back with suspicion at the almost empty street behind them. She could not see the far end of it clearly under the dim street lights.

"Anna, why do I feel that we’re being followed?" said Nina softly.

Anna was stunned. "Truth be told, I've had that feeling too recently but I've never seen anyone follow me." Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

Anna took a good look behind her and except for a middle-aged man wearing a cap walking past them, there was no one else.

"Maybe it’s our imagination, Nina. Let's go back soon t o rest."

"Yeah, alright."

Anna had returned to her accommodation and her phone suddenly rang at midnight.

She answered the call in a daze and heard Liam’s voice from the other end.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm sleeping!" said Anna as she rubbed her eyes.

"You're still able to fall asleep?"

"Why wouldn't I be able to fall asleep?" Anna scratched her head and flipped her body and got ready to go back to sleep.

"Don't you feel that there are a lot of male ghosts around staring at you?" said Liam in a creepy tone.

Anna immediately sat up and quickly looked around.

There were not any ghosts in her moonlit room!

"I'm an atheist! Thank you!” Anna was about to hang u p the call but then she laughed. "I think you can’t sleep because you’re afraid of the female ghost, right?”

Liam chuckled with indifference. "I'm an atheist too! But Anna, you still owe me for tricking me and escaping."

"I’m sorry, Mr. Ackman. I still have to deal with your assessment tomorrow, I'm going to sleep and get some rest."

"The night is long, don't you feel lonely?"

Why did his words sound so familiar?

Anna tilted her head and thought for a moment. "If you're lonely then go find a female ghost!"

Anna hung up the call and turned off her phone and proceeded to continue her sleep.

Liam who was at the other end of the call was furious beyond measure.

He could not sleep well these two days. He felt that someone was walking about in his house especially during midnight. He already ordered people to take down the painting on the wall and throw it away but still, he felt uncomfortable.

He walked back and forth in his room.

"Anna, Anna, you’re finished, you’re definitely finished!"

Liam gave James a call and said, "Change the assessment questions."

"Sir, the questions have already been set, it would be bad to change it at the last minute," said James softly.

"There’s nothing bad about it! I say change it!" growled Liam as he tossed his phone aside.

He walked back and forth in his big room but still, he did not feel sleepy.

He suddenly felt that his house was huge, and the emptiness made him feel uneasy!

Anna had only stayed there for a night, was Liam already not used to being alone?

She also said that she was at The Predicament Bar, he went there but when he arrived at the bar she had already escaped!

Was he that scary?

To go as far as to avoid him like a mugger?

"Fine! Anna, I'll make sure there's no way for you to run!"

Liam suddenly looked forward to tomorrow and the corner of his lips curved into a menacing smile.

"Anna, I’ll make you come to me obediently!"
