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

Chapter 167 Your Scent

"Y-you want to take a look at my room?"

Anna suddenly felt tongue-tied.

Liam’s chilling voice sounded again. "Is that not allowed?"

The atmosphere in the room turned tense. Everyone was exchanging glances with each other.

"Mr. Ackman..." Daniel uttered softly. His hesitance was evident on his face.

Liam might have been Anna's mentor, but Anna was still a grown woman. It was not too appropriate for Liam to visit her room.

Liam stared at the tense expression on Anna's face. His lips curled up into a sinister smile.

"You have a computer in your room, right? I need to send out some documents," said Liam.

"S-send... documents?"

Anna's big eyes blinked confusedly. She was still stuttering.

She had no idea if she should be praising the overbearing man for thinking about work twenty-four- seven or should she condemn him for being so cunning that he could cook up any excuse to reach his goal.

Anna could see the flames in Liam’s eyes. She rejected without hesitation.

"Mr. Ackman, there’s a computer in my father's study. Besides, it's for business use, so I'm sure it's more suited to your business affairs compared to mine!"

He was a stallion that would not let her escape no matter where they were. If she were to allow that wolf t o enter her room, there was no way he would leave without devouring her whole!

She had just come out of a scandal with Bryan-she was already known to all as the pitiable victim of an affair. Anna did not want another rumor to arise about her-one where people suspect her of having some ambiguous relations with Bryan's uncle.

"Mr. Ackman, follow me. A maid will take you upstairs."

Anna showed him a welcome gesture with her hands and flashed a vibrant smile at him. Seeing these made Liam's eyes turn as cold as a lake of ice.

Anna could clearly feel an invisible gust of cold air blowing her way. She felt as if she might freeze to death at any moment.

The frigid expression on Liam's face made everyone mute.

On the other hand, Chloe's heart was filled with delight. She loved that Anna was acting as if Liam was a man that she could casually offend.

Liam's chilling voice sounded again with a petrifying tone.

"Do you think my documents can be sent around casually on just anyone's computer?"

Then, he turned to Daniel. "I'm sure Mr. Hamilton wouldn't want me to use his computer either, right?"

Feeling awkward, Daniel sweated profusely. Liam's glare made him incredibly anxious.

"Anna, it's an honor that Mr. Ackman wants to use your computer. What are you waiting for? Bring him t o your room already!" Daniel instructed hurriedly.

Anna secretly clenched her teeth. "Please come with m e, Mr. Ackman.”

A hint of amusement emerged in Liam’s eyes. He gazed at Anna with profound eyes.

Chloe was a little disappointed. She thought that Anna would meet a horrid end for offending Liam. Why did the scene not develop as she had imagined?

Moreover, she was starting to suspect more and more that Liam was treating Anna differently from anyone else. Even his gaze toward her had a peculiar look to it.

Could the rumor of Liam being gay be false?

Chloe turned to Liam with astonishment, yet he had already gone upstairs with Anna. She wondered what was the meaning behind that look of amusement in the corner of his eyes.

Chloe narrowed her almond-shaped eyes suspiciously.

Just as Liam was entering Anna's room, Chloe’s coquettish voice sounded from behind.

"Uncle, Anna can't see, so let me show you around."

Chloe hurried up the stairs.

Liam's cold eyes darted toward her. Petrified, Chloe's feet instantly froze on the steps.

"Ms. Chloe, you seem to love poking your nose in everyone's business! You're not my student, so who gave you the right to show me around!"

Chloe suddenly felt an icy cold aura surrounding her. Her face flushed red.

"Uncle..."

"Don't call me Uncle. I don't have a niece as old as you."

Liam’s cold and impassive tone humiliated Chloe to n o end.

Both Daniel and Nicole felt terribly awkward. They hurriedly shot glances at Chloe, hinting for her to shut her mouth and read the air.

Liam entered Anna's room and closed the door behind him.

Chloe glared furiously at the closed door. It was as if her piercing eyes were trying to penetrate the door.

Nicole hurriedly tugged at Chloe. "Watch yourself! That's Bryan's uncle and the man Grandmother

Dawson trusts most." "Mom! What's with that attitude of his! I'm already pregnant with Bryan’s child. I will soon be married to Bryan, yet he won't even let me call him Uncle. Deep down, does he not accept me?"

"Enough! That is the Ackman prince you're talking about! If you offend him, the whole family will have to suffer with you," Daniel growled furiously.

Chloe shut her mouth angrily. She felt immense dissatisfaction in her heart.

Her status was no longer the same as before. Anna could not use her status as the eldest daughter of the Hamilton family to trample over her anymore. Even Liam should have shown her some respect for the sake of Grandmother Dawson, right?

Even so, he still spoke to her in an indifferent tone with a contemptuous look on his face!

Unfortunately, Liam was never one to show anyone respect solely for the sake of another.

"Humph! Anna Hamilton and Liam Ackman, I want to see if you two are hiding any secrets!"

Anna stood at the door, subtly glancing at Liam. She was hiding her delight and holding back her urge to laugh.

That two-faced man was truly commendable. He did not spit out a single curse word, yet his every word cut like knives, making others bleed like running water.

Liam glanced at her. His lips subconsciously curled upward.

"Are you that happy to be in a room with me?"

Anna instantly scrunched her brows together. She was clearly happy because he upset Chloe, yet he was deliberately misinterpreting her joy!

"I don’t like being in a room with you at all."

Anna was about to open the door as she said those words. She did not want anyone to misunderstand what they were doing alone in her room. However, before she could open the door, Liam placed his hand o n top of hers and locked the door.

Anna widened her eyes. "What are you doing?"

"Preventing people from coming in.”

"Doing that will lead to misunderstandings!" Anna was flustered. Her face reddened.

"What misunderstandings?" Liam asked, lifting his brows.

"Misunderstand that you and I..." Anna pointed at herself, then pointed at Liam.

Liam chuckled. "What's there to misunderstand about the two of us?”

"Well... You and I..." Anna was so furious and ashamed that she did not know how to say it. She stood in front of him and made all sorts of gestures.

Liam’s brows scrunched downward. The gaze in his eyes was profound. "You and I? Are there any illicit relations between us?"

"Uh..."

Anna wanted to say, 'Does sleeping together not count? f

However, she felt a throbbing pain in her heart when she thought about the fact that she was nothing more than a tool for physical relief.

"None indeed!" Anna grumbled.

"If there's none, what are you afraid of?"

Anna was rendered speechless.

He was right. What was she afraid of?

Anna glanced at his insufferably arrogant face. He gave off the domineering aura of a king as if he was the ruler of the world. Others could not help but lower their heads and pay allegiance to him.

"The computer is there."

Anna pointed in the direction of her computer desk.

Nonetheless, Liam studied the entirety of her room instead.

He commented, "It's clean and tidy. Additionally, there's a faint fragrance in here. It’s the scent on your body."

Anna's face instantly flushed red. "Shut up!"

Liam gazed at her with eyes of burning passion. His lips curled up into a naughty smirk. "Do you want me t o shut up and start using my hands instead?" NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

Before he even said those words, he had already drawn close to Anna. His large hand slithered onto her slender waist...
