Anna was fast asleep when she was rudely awakened by the ringing of her phone.
She swiped open her phone and took a look, it was the school group. There were already more than a hundred unread messages with new ones popping up every second.
"It’s already 1 am, aren’t these people tired? Don’t they need their sleep?”
Anna rubbed her eyes sleepily, scrolling through her unread messages carelessly, "The wealthy brat is giving out money again! No wonder everyone is so excited."
Anna was still sleepy so she couldn't read through all their messages. She only knew to click on the links that brought her to a website displaying the amount of money she won.
With a click, she was shocked awake, all traces of sleep leaving her brain.
"Oh my gosh! One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand..."
"One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand...”
Anna pointed at the endless number of Os, and counted them one by one, finally she was sure, she won a 50,000-dollar lucky draw!
52,000!
Anna got so excited she didn't feel sleepy anymore.
"If I knew the wealthy brat was so rich, why the hell would I continue working? I’ll just focus on winning his lucky draws and I'll be rich!” Anna clutched her phone and continued waiting, hoping for new lucky draw links.
Seeing Anna winning the lucky draw, the school group exploded once again.
In the app, her screen was filled with the word 'date'.
Anna's heart fluttered, an incident like this, any girl who experienced it would be touched right?
She placed a hand over her heart, fingers moving across the keyboard listlessly, in the end, she didn't dare to send a single word.
Her classmates were starting to shout again.
Anna's heart skipped a beat. She threw her phone onto her bed, then picked it up again gingerly, continuing to pretend to be offline in the school group like a perverted peeping tom.
Right then, someone else said.
Anna frowned, they were right! When did Charles join her school group?
And who was he, truly?
Anna always suspected that Charles was actually
Liam, but since the atmosphere between the two of them was so tense now, he wouldn't start another lucky draw in the school group, would he?
It doesn't make sense!
Anna hesitated for a good 10 minutes, finally opened the chat bubble with Charles, and sent him a message.
After a long moment, Charles finally answered.
Anna panicked, and hurriedly replied with a simple ' nothing'.
Charles seemed to be in a bad mood, giving out all that money must have hurt his wallet.
Anna's lips twitched and sent another message instantly.
Why benefit unimportant passers-by?
After a long while, he answered.
Anna's lips twitched, this man must be crazy. She was just reminding him kindly to help him save money.
She replied.
Anna was speechless.
"I don't believe this is the last assessment, after we complete this, they might hold another one as they please!"
All of them finally mustered their strength, gritted their teeth, faces like soldiers who were prepared to die on the battlefield.
Anna was exhausted, standing in her spot, she didn't even have the energy to lift her head.
Nina yawned continuously, "Anna, doesn't Mr.
Ackman sleep? I heard the one who announced the additional assessment is his assistant, doing so on his orders."
Anna gritted her teeth, "There's something wrong with him. He doesn’t need sleep."
Nina tugged at Anna's sleeve, "Anna, please do us a favor and stop angering Mr. Ackman. See, now all of u s have to suffer together with you."
"What does him being mad have anything to do with m e?"
Nina shook her head and pointed to Jennifer, "Serving Jennifer as a slave, and being Mr. Ackman's pet, choose one yourself."
Anna clenched her fists, "Neither!"
"You can't have your cake and eat it too, my dear. You have to choose."
Anna lowered her long eyelashes in thought.
If she had to choose, she would choose Liam!
It's just she had no idea what the topic of this assessment was. She was on his bad side now, he must be wracking his brains thinking of ways to torture her.
Just then, Olivia Finch approached them.
"Alright, quiet down, I will announce the topic of this assessment now!"
