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

Chapter 227 It's My Fault, I'm Sorry

Director Wright was an extremely difficult mistress.

It was as if she thought that getting rid of anyone who could not satisfy her would turn her into a goddess admired by millions.

She stood in Anna's path and made a racket about firing her.

Jennifer watched with an amused attitude and a joyous smile on her face.

Anna tried to reason with Director Wright but she was unwilling to let it go.

"I don't have cash on me right now. How about you give me your bank account number? I'll instantly transfer the money to you once I get off work and get my phone back."

"I don't want your money! This is a seven-star hotel! The customer always comes first. I can't believe they have an employee like you. You must be fired immediately! Otherwise, I’ll lodge a complaint to every level of management!

"Doesn't this hotel have a policy to deal with their employees strictly as long as a guest lodges a complaint? I want to know if this is true!

"I want to see your supervisor. Bring him out right now!" Director Wright started shouting. She attracted the attention of many around them.

Some were worried that the incident would turn into a huge commotion and disturb other guests. Hence, they hurriedly went to look for the supervisor.

Anna was sweating bullets. It seemed like it was over for her!

Just then, the elevator door opened. A man's voice sounded.

"Who's asking for the supervisor?"

That voice had never sounded better to Anna. It was like the voice of an angel.

She glanced back happily to be met with Liam slowly sauntering toward her under the gaze of so many around them.

The crowd fell into pin-drop silence the moment they saw Liam.

Director Wright, too, had shut her mouth out of shock the moment she laid eyes on Liam Ackman. She gazed at him with fear and admiration.

The young man was exceedingly handsome. He was truly a flawless Prince Charming. Unfortunately, the aura he exuded was simply too frigid and too overbearing. He gave off the menacing air of a man born into greatness. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

Liam glanced at Anna’s pale face. There was not much of an expression on Liam's chilling face.

He was in a meeting when he happened to notice the sudden movement of the GPS tracker he placed on Anna. He thought that the little lady was trying to escape, so he hurriedly chased after her.

Unexpectedly, he came down to see that the little lady had got herself into trouble again.

Anna slowly lowered her head, acting like a child who had been wronged, waiting for her parents to shelter her.

Seeing that made Liam's heart soften. He took another two steps forward and stood in front of Anna. He gazed at the middle-aged woman with cold eyes.

"What happened?”

Director Wright cleared her throat. "This bellhop dirtied my clothes! I want to make a complaint about her."

Liam looked down at the lipstick stain on Director Wright’s clothes. It was beautiful and vivid.

"I'll speak to her supervisor!" Director Wright thought that Liam was just another guest at the hotel, so she did not say much to him.

Even so, the intense aura given off by the man before her somehow made her want to back down.

Jennifer whispered into Director Wright’s ear, "You are a guest. In this hotel, guests always come first, so don't be afraid!"

Director Wright puffed up her chest and revealed, "She doesn’t want to compensate me for it. On top of that, she tried to escape! I must find a person I can reason with and have a proper talk with them."

Anna was exasperated. She did not try to escape at all!

"Oh? Is that true?" Liam turned to Anna with reproachful eyes.

How could that little lady always let others take advantage of her? Was her status as the eldest daughter of the Hamilton family just for show? Even without that prestige status, could she not just use her brain a little?

How utterly stupid!

Anna turned her head away angrily. She did not want t o see Liam's critical gaze.

Liam's expression darkened. Flames of fury brewed in his chest. "Tell security to bring me footage of the third floor CCTV outside the elevator door!"

Director Wright cursed silently. Her gaze started to waver.

Jennifer, too, turned anxious. That whole time, she had been encouraging Director Wright to make a complaint. If her actions were discovered, she would surely get her marks deducted for inducing disharmony in the workplace.

Jennifer sweated profusely. She clenched her fists tightly.

"Uh... Haha, there's no need for that," Director Wright chuckled wryly.

Just then, the supervisor, Olivia Finch, came over and said to Liam in a respectful tone, "Chairman, there has been an incident!”

Director Wright's expression froze. "Chairman? You're ... You’re Mr. Ackman..."

She hurriedly put on a fawning expression, which made her seem like a completely different person compared to when she had that crafty look on her face.

"Oh my, it’s such an honor to meet you, Mr. Ackman. I didn't expect to run into you here." Director Wright wanted to shake hands with him, yet the chilling aura that surrounded Liam made her retreat.

"To launch a thorough investigation into this matter," said Liam to Olivia.

"Yes sir," Olivia replied formally.

Hearing the warmth in Liam's voice as he spoke to Olivia made Anna's heart ache.

It was the first time Anna had seen Liam treat a woman with such amiability!

Who was Olivia Finch to him?

She could not be a woman he once had a need for, right?

Anna felt a sharp pain in her chest when she saw Olivia's perfect body and beautiful face. A look of sorrow emerged in her eyes. She hurriedly lowered

her head.

"Haha, Mr. Ackman, it’s just a misunderstanding. It's just a small accident, no need to check the security footage! Let's just forget about it," Director Wright hastily smiled and said.

"No! If my employee really did dirty your clothes, the hotel will take full responsibility. However, if that's not the case..." Liam dragged out his tone in a chilling manner. It made their chests tighten.

Director Wright glanced at Liam with a perplexed expression. For some reason, she felt as if he was protecting that bellhop.

Why would he involve so many people in solving a problem for a measly bellhop?

Director Wright gazed at Anna's beautiful face and seemed to have come to some realizations. She hurriedly forced a smile onto her face.

"There is no need for that. It's just clothes. It won't cause any trouble for me. Besides, it's getting late. I'll just change into a new outfit. The lady did not do it on purpose anyway. Just forget about this incident."

Director Wright could be said to be a sophisticated woman. She was not so naive that she could not understand what was going on in that situation.

Besides, she would become a laughing stock if others found out about her using out-of-style clothing to trouble others. After all, she wanted to use the Grand Lexus Hotel and collaborate with them.

"What do you think?” Liam turned to Anna and asked.

"Let's look into it! I'll take full responsibility if it's my fault," Anna said righteously.

Director Wright suddenly felt her cheeks burning up. She had already agreed to let it go, yet that measly little bellhop refused to do so.

However, she had already understood the entire situation. The fact that the great Ackman prince would ask for a bellhop's opinion indicated that their relationship was abnormal.

Liam turned to Director Wright again. "My bellhops never use lipstick. This is a fact that everyone knows. I'm sure this clears up the issue of your dirty clothes, Director Wright! Shall we look at the security footage anyway?"

Director Wright hastily admitted, "Ah, it must be my own negligence! I must have accidentally...” Suddenly, she pointed at Jennifer, who was standing behind her. "Did you accidentally get lipstick on my clothes while preparing it?"

Jennifer was rendered speechless. She shook her head frantically. "It wasn't me."

Then, Jennifer turned to Liam with puppy eyes, subtly sending signals at him. "Mr. Ackman, it wasn't me! I didn’t do it."

Her endearing and coquettish manner made her appear extremely pitiable. If no one else was there, she might have even pounced into Liam’s arms to flirt her way out of this.

"Alright! It's my fault. I'm sorry!” Anna yelled abruptly.

Liam glared at Anna annoyedly. However, Anna had already turned around and left.
