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

Chapter 390 Do You Support Me?

The moment Anna arrived at the office the next day, she saw Nina sitting sullenly at her desk and staring vacantly at the computer.

Anna walked over and stood behind Nina, looking at the unfinished design on the computer screen.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem? Let me take a look."

Nina dully moved away and leaned on the desk, gazing vacantly at Anna, who was keyboarding.

After a few minutes, Anna tilted her head and smiled a t Nina.

"It's done! You can daydream and rest this morning."

Nina glanced at the computer and wore a faint smile.

"This is such a difficult problem, but you solved it so quickly. Anna, you are the best."

Anna rubbed Nina's head and said, "After all, my work is not busy at all. Any problems, you can just come to me. I will help you solve it."

Nina nodded. "Anna, you are so kind to me."

Nina cupped her face in her hands and looked at the prickly pear on her desk. "He once said that I could feel free to ask you for help if I worked as a designer i n the company. He said you were smarter than me."

"He said that you could protect me in Ackman Group." "He said that I had to use the computer every working day, so he suggested that I put prickly pear at my desk to absorb computer radiation."

"He said that I often burnt the midnight oil for my work. He told me to drink water and eat more nutritious food such as black sesame, tomatoes, and nori to keep fit."

"He said that staying up late was not healthy. He told me to go to bed early. He said I should prefer to get up early to work rather than burn the midnight oil."

"He said that I had better do light work and let him carry financial burdens."

"He said..."

Nina's eyes gradually became red-rimmed.

Anna looked at Nina's sad appearance and felt so sorry for her.

"Nina... Stop thinking about his words."

Anna gently stroked Nina's shoulder and handed her a tissue.

Nina buried her head on the desk silently.

Anna knew that Nina was crying.

More and more employees arrived at the company.

Anna softly comforted Nina. "Nina, you have to stop crying lest other people notice you."

Nina raised her head and wiped her eyes. She took a few deep breaths and smiled again.

"Okay, I'm fine now. You can go to work."

Nina got up and went to the bathroom to wash her face. She finally looked normal and greeted her colleagues with a smile. She then helped them finish their work.

She also enthusiastically helped her colleagues make copies, make coffee, and run errands upstairs and downstairs.

Anna knew that Nina was busy with her work to distract her attention from Michael.

Nina was extroverted, enthusiastic, and also hardworking. Since the second day in the company, she had already been on a good term with her colleagues.

But Anna was different.

Everyone felt that Anna was suddenly assigned to Ackman Group because of her strong family background. Besides, she and Mr. Ackman seemed to have a special relationship, so everyone had a bias against her

Anna would like to change her colleagues’ view of her by her positive work attitude and strong working ability.

Liam, however, had not assigned any tasks to her yet. She sat idle at the desk and only wanted to sleep.

After she muddled along in the morning, it was time for lunch.

The employees all went to the canteen for lunch.

Anna went to look for Nina, who was still busy helping her colleagues make copies.

"Nina, put your work aside. Let us go for lunch."

"I'm not hungry, Anna. You can go first." Nina smiled broadly at Anna and continued to be busy with her work.

"Nina!" Anna took away the pile of documents Nina was holding in her hand.

"Stop it, okay?"

"I'm fine. Really. Anna, don't worry about me. You should go to have lunch right now! I'll go there when I'm done."

Anna grabbed Nina's shoulder and said, "Do you know your current look makes me sad?"

The smile on Nina's face gradually disappeared. Her limpid eyes were filled with great pain again.

"Last night, when I was accompanying my mom in the hospital, I heard from the nurse that he drank a lot of wine and was resuscitated because of an overdose of alcohol."

"Later, I wanted to visit him, but I heard that he had been discharged and gone back home."

Nina suddenly grabbed Anna's arm and asked, "Anna, tell me. Did I do anything wrong?"

"Why did I hurt someone who loves me so much? Why?"

"Am I too bad? I cannot believe that I hurt him so deeply!"

"Anna, I suddenly regretted my decision. If something happens to him because of me, I will never feel better i n my life."

"He really loves me. Why should I cower?"

"Anna, I really regret it..."

Nina wrapped her arms around her knees and crouched on the ground, crying out in pain.

Anna felt sorry for Nina. She hugged Nina and said, " There, there, Nina."

When it was time to get off work, Nina stood at the entrance of the company and waited for Anna.

Just as Anna came out, Nina greeted her and said loudly to her, "Anna, I've thought it over! I'd rather face his mother together with him than be so painful. I don't want to leave him."

Anna looked at Nina's resolute eyes and sighed secretly.

"Nina, you..." "Anna, do you support me?"

Finally, Nina regained her strength. She was no longer the young girl who forced a smile in front of everyone but secretly cried today.

"Anna, where are you taking me? I have to go back to the hospital to meet him..." NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

Nina regained her strength now, but Anna was not in very high spirits.

"Let's go for supper. We didn't have lunch today. Now I'm starving, and you must be hungry too! Let's go. My treat."

"Anna, I have to go to the hospital to meet Michael first!"

"Let's go! Let's have dinner first!"

Anna dragged Nina into the car.

Just then, Liam called. "You ran away in a hurry when you saw me. What are you going to do?"

"I..." Anna looked at Nina beside her.

"I will have dinner with Nina. You can have dinner alone." After saying that, Anna hurriedly hung up and turned off the phone in case Liam called her again.

Liam glared at the phone and said, "Damn it. How dare you hung up on me again! You really think I can't have dinner without you?" Liam also turned off his phone angrily.

"Anna, I really don't want to go to dinner. I just want to go back to the hospital now."

"Come on! Listen to me!" Anna tried to stop Nina, but she could tell Nina the reason.

If Nina insisted on getting back together with Michael, she was afraid that secret couldn't be hidden from Nina anymore.

Anna told the driver to go to a restaurant near the University of Johannes.

Nina was very fond of the food in that restaurant. Every time she had dinner in that restaurant, she would say the delicious food there could compare with that in a five-star hotel. And she was stuffed every time.

The car slowly left.

Anna and Nina did not notice that they were followed by a dilapidated van.
