Chapter 383
Liam's sudden appearance startled Anna and Nina.
Anna hurriedly looked around, in fear that some staff might see them. However, many of the staff had already been looking at them.
Damn Liam!
Anna glared at Liam sharply, as if she wanted to kill him with her eyes.
"What are you doing here?" She whispered through her clenched teeth.
"Come for lunch! Of course!"
Anna mentioned to Liam with her eyes, suggesting that Nina was in a bad mood and that she was keeping her company.
However, Liam didn't care at all.
Anna lowered her head helplessly and held her hand against her forehead.
Why would he, the big boss, come to the staff canteen for lunch?
Was he doing this on purpose to punish her?
Anna felt like rolling Liam into a ball and throwing him out of the window to make him go as far away as possible.
However, she could only think about it in her mind.
"Uh... I have to say, it's really inconvenient for you to sit here right now. Besides, you're the CEO. How can you sit here and have lunch with your employees?" Anna persuaded Liam patiently.
James had already served Liam's meal and laid the dishes right upon the entire table.
"It's normal for the CEO to have lunch with his employees! And you're my secretary. I happen to have some work to talk to you."
Anna looked at Liam beside her helplessly.
"I just got out of your office. If you had a job for me, why didn't you tell me just then, but came here and talked to me in the canteen under everybody's eyes!"
Anna had vaguely figured that it must be Wilson. He had come to Liam's office, so Liam had to run away.
Liam glanced at Anna. He didn't say a word but just picked up his fork elegantly.
He also entertained Nina cordially, "Help yourself."
Nina was a little startled.
She had never had lunch with Liam before. Liam used to have an intimidating chill expression on his face, not to mention he was Nina’s mentor, and now her boss.
Nina truly didn't dare to have lunch in front of Liam or even eat Liam's personal meal.
Seeing that Nina didn't even pick up the fork, Liam raised his eyes and glanced at Nina.
Finding Nina's eyes brimmed with tears. Liam was surprised and he turned to Anna.
Anna shrugged her shoulders."There's something. It's better to let Dr. Hart tell you."
Liam frowned.
What was it that Anna couldn't tell him but had to be told by Michael?
Suddenly, Liam understood.
"Michael's mother had come to you?"
Nina's thin shoulders shuddered and she nodded slightly.
Noticing the employees cast curious glances at them, Anna whispered to Liam, "Let's talk about this later in your office! Don't sit here with us. You'd better get going."
Seeing Anna being so tense, Liam enjoyed this naughty fun in his heart.
Anna wanted him to go, but he would stay instead!
In Ackman Group, who dared to talk about Liam’s gossip, unless he didn't want to work there anymore!
Liam really gave Anna a headache.
Was this guy deliberately messing with her?
Liam ignored Anna and dined gracefully while saying, "I told you before that their family would not allow you two being together."
Nina's tears were about to drop down.
Sitting in front of Liam, Nina was really nervous. And meditating on the pain of separating from Michael, she finally burst into tears.
Nina lowered her head deeply, wiping her tears continuously.
She felt as if someone had cut a piece of flesh hard from her heart, leaving an endless raw pain in her.
"I know... it was all my fault. He was too wonderful and too good for me. However, I was so selfish before." Nina sobbed.
Anna understood in her heart that, if it were her, she would also feel the same way. It was just a pity that two people who were so well-matched had to face such an ending while they just started their relationship.
"Nina, don't be sad. It's not the end yet."
Anna held Nina's hand and comforted her gently.
Nina shook her head. She looked at Liam in tears.
"Nina, don't bother with it too much. In matters of love, it's not up to others to say whether you two match each other or not." "It's just like shoes. Only you know whether they fit your own feet or not." Anna said this on purpose to imply to Liam.
However, Liam continued on his lunch elegantly as if h e did not hear.
"Don't you think too much! What's more important now is to figure out a way to resolve the problem between you guys quickly." Anna said.
"Nina, I know that you regret it now! You call Michael right now and tell him you're not breaking up with him!"
"It's too late for regrets. I don't want to break my word. Besides, I already promised his mother." Nina shook her head.
"If you love a person, it’s not necessary to be with him. Leaving him and not giving him any burden is also a kind of love."
Seeing Nina was so resolute, Anna ran out of ideas.
Anna looked at Liam, expecting that he could say something.
Liam raised his eyes and asked, "Aren't you guys having lunch? It's going to be very busy in the afternoon!"
Looking at Liam's serious face, Anna and Nina were bewildered whether they should laugh or cry.
"You really have no feelings." Anna said angrily.
Liam's hand holding the fork quivered a little.
"I'll stay here with Nina. You'd better go back to the office to have lunch."
"This is how you speak to your boss?" Liam narrowed his eyes.
Anna was a little timid, "It's break time."
Liam looked into her eyes. The look on his face seemed to say, "You might have forgotten the deal between us."
"From now on your salary will be paid directly to my account. I will decide later, depending on your performance, whether to give you the salary or not."
"Why?!" Anna's voice suddenly rose.
"Because I'm the boss!"
"Even if you are the boss, you can't deduct my salary. I don't owe you any money!"
Liam slowly put down his fork and looked at Anna with a poker face, as if it was business that they were talking about.
"You haven't paid me back for the wedding store."
Anna instantly stuttered.
"That's what you thought. I never promised to pay you back!" Anna got irritated.
It was twenty million dollars! How could she afford to pay it back with her poor salary?
Besides, she already started to work now. She could not spend her parents' money like before. Did he want her to live on no money?
Liam glanced at her indifferently. "The wedding store was registered under your name. Do you think you need to pay me back?"
"It's OK if you don't pay me back!" A cunning look swept across Liam's eyes.
Anna suddenly felt the look in his eyes was so dangerous.
"You don't go too far." She lowered her voice.
"What do you mean by going too far? Here?"
"What's in here?" Anna was stunned.
Liam came closer to Anna and curled the corners of his mouth. "What do you think?"
The hot breath from his mouth sprayed onto Anna's face, causing a blush on her face. She ducked back.
"Liam, you!"
"I what?" Liam continued to approach closer. A handsome face came infinitely close to her face. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
The staff around held their breath as they stared at them.
Their distance was so close!
Their cold CEO could also be so close to a woman!
Jesus Chris!
What was going on between them?
Anna would rather find a crack in the ground to hide herself.
Liam's chilling voice came to her ears.
"Anna! Remember, your destiny is in my hands. Don't try to go against me."
