"Me too." Ethan's clear eyes shone with a noble aura.
"Then, that's the best! You two must get along well with each other! Don't fight." Gemma spat out her tongue mischievously and told them her worries.
Liam cleared his throat and spoke coldly, "Then it depends on how we get along with each other."
"Everything will be fine with me as long as Anna and Gemma are happy." Ethan said in a cloudy voice.
"I'm going to the bathroom." Anna got up awkwardly. She was eager to escape from this atmosphere.
Standing in the bathroom, Anna let out a long breath.
She could finally breathe normally here. She was dying of the depression in the private room.
But unexpectedly, she bumped into Amelia in the bathroom.
"Long time no see." Amelia snorted a greeting.
Out of politeness, Anna smiled and replied.
"Yeah, long time no see!"
"I didn't expect to meet you here, and it happens that I have something to say to you.”
"About what?" Anna was surprised.
"Do you have time tomorrow? Let's have a cup of coffee together." Amelia said.
"It depends. But what do you want to talk to me about? Can't we talk now?" Anna pulled a tissue from the tissue container in front of her and gracefully wiped the drops from her hands.
Amelia took the powder and touched up her makeup i n front of the clean and dust-free mirror, "Nothing important. I just want to tell you to be careful of Bryan these days."
Speaking of Bryan, Anna wasn't surprised at all.
"Bryan! I've got a bone to pick with him! Some time ago, he said on the Internet that Gemma was his child. I'm wondering where he's been hiding lately, and until now he hasn't shown up."
Amelia laughed, "Of course he doesn't dare to come back now, for fear of being dealt with by you and Liam."
"But he's your brother, why are you helping me?"
"Just because he's my brother, I don't want him to make the same mistake again. He's definitely not the same Bryan we knew back then. That’s all that I want t o tell you." Amelia put the lipstick back into her makeup bag and returned to her dismissive look.
Anna felt a little strange in her heart, but she was still grateful, "Thank you."
"No need to thank me. I'm just doing it for myself."
Anna's clear, watery eyes looked at the condescending woman, who disappeared in front of her gradually.
Her bright eyes flashed with a trace of deep meaning.
'Amelia, what trick are you playing in your heart again?’
Anna buried Bryan's matter in her heart and slowly walked out of the bathroom.
Anna saw Amelia with her handbag was shaking hands with a man in a suit, followed by several colleagues wearing Dawson Group uniforms.
"It seems that Amelia is working hard to take the power of Dawson Group. So, Amelia does not want Bryan to come back."
Anna finally made it to the end of the meal.
Liam got up and said to Gemma and Anna, "I'll take you home."
His tone was domineering and forceful, with a strong sense of possessiveness.
"The other day you called me a needle mushroom." Liam said it out word by word, gritting his teeth.
Anna's mouth twitched at once and she squealed in surprise, "What? How could I say something as false a s that..."
"You also know that it is false?!" Liam's voice was colder and deeper.
Anna nodded vigorously, "Of course it’s false. It's all drunken nonsense. You are such a broad-minded man, so you won’t find fault with me, right?"
"No, I have to care about this." Liam took a step closer t o Anna and pressed her directly against the door.
Anna made motions to let him be quiet, "Gemma is sleeping."
She hoped Gemma could save her.
"Okay, let's change the battlefield."
He picked Anna up straight and walked across the room. He strode into Anna's room, and once again pinned her down on the door behind her.
"I said the wrong thing and I've apologized." Anna hurriedly said some soft words. She felt his strong breath spraying on her cheeks. Her mind went blank and she even forgot to resist.
Liam's thin lips gently hooked up. His smile was dangerous, "I do not accept your apology. I want to prove it with facts."
"You don’t have to prove it. I know it all, I understand." Anna puffed up her mouth. Her heart suddenly thumped faster.
"No, it's been so long. I think you've forgotten."
Liam's deep eyes flashed with a hint of playfulness," Today I'm going to prove it to you whether I am a needle mushroom or not."
Anna hurriedly stretched out her hands against Liam's chest. Her petite body tightly shrank together," Don't, don't...you don't have to prove it. I really know..."
"No, I must prove it." Liam held Anna's cheek with one hand and directly kissed her on the lips.
