Chapter 45 What Is Love?


    Liam Ackman!


    As soon as she heard his name, Anna’s entire body instantly tensed up. Why was he here at her


    university dormitory!? Could it be that he hade here to teach her a lesson for switching off her


    phone?


    Anna looked up reluctantly to confirm if the person surrounded by all these women was actually


    Liam. In the end, she managed to see a tall, strapping figure and catch a glimpse of the


    outstandingly handsome face of Liam Ackman among the crowd.


    He wore his usual cool and indifferent expression as h e stood amongst a sea of admirers. His eyes


    were emotionless, as though he were in a separate world from all the admirers cheering around


    him.


    James walked out of the dormitory and respectfully reported to Liam, "Mr. Ackman, she''s not here."


    In an instant, Liam''s expression seemed to be even colder. Liam slowly turned his head round.


    Anna was caught by surprise and ran to hide behind arge tree.


    Liam''s cold eyes swept across the faces of the crowd o f women. His cold and haughty gaze


    caused many women to hold their breath in excitement. However, a s soon as they sensed the


    murderous intent in his gaze, the lively atmosphere immediately went silent.


    The only sound that could be heard was the rustling of the tree leaves.


    Liam took a step and the women rushed to clear the way and make a path for him. James raced to


    keep up with Liam. As soon as he felt the strong chill emanating all over Liam''s body, he gave an


    involuntary shiver and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Ackman, what do we do now?"


    James could not tell if his boss was nning to leave o r continue looking for Anna.


    “She must be here in the university!" Liam was not convinced that she would be able to escape his


    grasp!


    Liam''s cold eyes seemed to act like a sophisticated scanner as he surveyed the area. Anna was so


    terrified that she hid behind therge tree once again.


    Thankfully, there were a lot of people present. It would not be an easy thing for him to discover her


    in the darkness of the night. Once she thought about this, Anna no longer felt as nervous.


    All of a sudden, Liam''s gaze froze and zoned in upon a tall and sturdy tree with a thick trunk. Anna


    was so frightened that she held her breath and closed her eyes. Her entire body was tense as she


    prayed unceasingly, hoping that he would not see her...


    Otherwise, she feared for what this unbridled big boss would do to her in the presence of all her


    ssmates, embarrassing her to such an extent that she would find it hard to show her face at the


    university.


    Liam had already noticed the edge of a beige dress peeking out from behind therge tree. The


    corner of his lips curved up slightly and the cold aura surrounding him seemed to gradually warm


    up.


    This dress was the exact one that he had picked out for her among the numerous styles on offer. It


    was the design that most closely matched her temperament. Hence, he was able to recognize it at


    once.


    James could see that Liam''s expression had softened and felt surprised.


    "Mr. Ackman?"


    "Let''s leave! It''ste." Liam turned around and started walking up ahead.


    James rushed to follow him. "Mr. Ackman, does this mean that we''re going to stop looking for her?"


    Liam chuckled lightly but did not answer. After all, there was no need to continue searching for her


    now that he knew that she had arrived safely at the university. It waste and she should get ready


    for bed.


    James saw the smile that appeared on Liam''s face and scratched his head in confusion. Even


    though he did not know why his boss was smiling, James could confirm that Liam had unpredictable


    mood swings...


    It was getting worse!


    Anna peeked out from behind therge tree. When she saw that Liam had left, she let out a long


    sigh of relief.


    Finally, that irritable man was gone!


    She nned to run up to her dorm as soon as she snuck out from behind the tree. However, Liam


    suddenly turned back, scaring Anna back into hiding behind thatrge tree. She did not dare to


    move one bit.


    The women who had remained in ce all wore dreamy expressions as their eyes sparkled with


    hope.


    "It looks like he''s looking at me..."


    "He’s looking at me, okay!"


    "Stop arguing! He''s gay! There’s no way that he likes girls!"


    Anna carefully sneaked a look but she had not expected to see that Liam had suddenly turned


    back. I t gave her another fight, and she returned to hide behind the tree, not daring to move.


    The women continued to bicker.


    "He''s looking at me! He must think that I’m really pretty!"

    "Even if he’s gay, he might still like women and be bi. I f a beautiful goddess of a woman appeared


    in his life, h e might be tempted to go straight..."


    When it seemed like Liam had gone far enough, Anna quickly ran to her dorm to leave that group of


    crazy, jealous, and love-struck women fighting over him.


    Anna''s dorm was a four-person room. Two of the girls there rarely stayed there. As for Anna, she


    would only asionally return to the dorm. Hence, the only one who stayed at their dorm was Nina


    Scott.


    Nina Scott was Anna''s best friend. She did note from a well-off family background. Her mother


    had raised her single-handedly. Thankfully, Nina had excellent grades which was why she had been


    able to get admitted into the University of Johnnes with her exceptional scores.


    However, the school fee of the University of Johannes was exorbitant. To lessen the burden on her


    mother, Nina worked as she studied. She had several part-time jobs after school each day. It was a


    really tough life.


    Anna was very fond of Nina and had offered to help Nina with her school fees. However, Nina


    rejected her offer each time. Nina even smiled at her and said, "I have my hands and feet. I''m not


    sick or disabled. I can support myself with my own efforts. Anna, if you really want to help me, you


    can take notes for me in ss if I ever miss it because of my jobs."


    Anna pushed open the door and walked in. Nina was reading a book with a pen in her mouth.


    "Nina." Anna called out.


    Nina greeted her happily. "Anna! You’re back. Someone came to the dorm looking for you. I told


    them that you wouldn''t be back today." "It was a man. A really handsome man!" said Nina as she


    looked at Anna with a bright smile.


    "Oh... It''s just one of the assistants from home. Haha..."


    Annaughed in embarrassment. The person that Nina was speaking of must be James. He was


    pretty handsome. However, whenpared with Liam, the difference was likeparing heaven


    and earth.


    "Nina, you must not have had dinner yet. I''ve bought you two portions of fried noodles." Anna


    quickly brought out the package in her hand. "I''m sorry, it''s gone a little cold now."


    Nina hurried to take the package and said, "It''s alright, it''ll be fine to eat once I’ve heated it up.


    You’re the best, Anna, to know that I''ve not eaten."


    "Of course, I know you well. How can your body cope if you frequently skip meals?"


    Nina smiled so sweetly that her eyes looked like two beautiful crescents. She had two lovely


    dimples on her cheeks which made her look extremely adorable.


    "I''m justzy. It’s close to exam season and I’ve been too busy studying, that''s why I''ve not gone


    downstairs.”


    Anna gently tapped Nina''s head and said, "Yourziness has reached new heights!”


    Nina yfully stuck out her tongue as she heated up the noodles in the microwave. She then


    asked. "Anna, did you expose the horrendous behavior of Bryan and Chloe at Madam Dawson''s


    birthday celebration? Did you give them a good p each?" "Was it Jamie who told you about it?"


    Anna''s expression became gloomy. She felt despondent that she could not escape from this


    swirling whirlpool but instead seemed to be sucked deeper and deeper into the mess.


    "Now is not the time..." Anna lowered her eyshes, using them to hide the confusion in her eyes.


    Once Nina saw Anna trying to hold back her emotions, she felt heartbroken. "I''ve always thought


    that people from rich families like you lived carefree lives. You don''t have to worry about what you


    eat or what you wear, or even stress about finding a job. However, when ites to love, you don’t


    have any control over your own love life."


    "Love?” Anna felt a pang in her heart. She found itughable.


    "What is love? It''s a concept that is too far out of reach for me."


    At that moment, Anna’s wristband rang out. The sudden sound of children singing frightened her.


    Instantly, all the dull repressed feelings that she felt were dispelled. The atmosphere immediately


    seemed different.
