"If you want to talk to me about the film, just say it here. I will remember it carefully." Sophie Smith tried to keep her tone calm as she spoke to him, but she truly lacked confidence because she was negotiating terms with Asher Land.
What is the success rate of negotiating terms with a Demon? Of course, it’s zero.
As expected, Asher Land’s face bore his usual disdainful expression.
"It’s up to me to decide where we talk. Do you get to teach me now?" He opened the car door, forcefully pulling her out and then cradled her in his arms as he headed to the hotel.
"Asher Land, you’re insane, let me go! You bastard!"
"Bastard again? Can’t you be a bit more creative when you insult someone?" Asher Land chuckled lightly, not taking her words to heart.
The people in the hotel lobby all looked on attentively at them. Asher Land was unaffected, but Sophie Smith felt extremely embarrassed. She stopped yelling and somewhat unconsciously buried her head against his chest.
Asher Land carried Sophie into the room and casually locked the door.
"What are you planning to do?" Sophie was forced into a corner, warily watching him. Asher Land had a fiery temper, unpredictable moods; being alone with him truly made her scared.
"No woman Asher Land wants has ever eluded him. You’d better obediently stay by my side. When I’m tired of you, I’ll naturally let you go. If you dare to resist, I guarantee you’ll wish for death rather than life."
How dare he? What gives Asher Land the right to trample over her ? Does having money make him so remarkable?
"I won’t stay by your side. I don’t care about the lead role in City of Desire. I won’t play it, Asher Land! From now on, I have no relationship with you!"
Why did he believe she would stay by his side until he was tired? Just because he thought she absolutely wanted the lead role in City of Desire? As long as she could sever ties with him, she didn’t want anything.
"Fine, have some backbone. Then first, give me five million as a breach of contract fee."
Breach of contract fee?
She hadn’t even signed a contract with him, so why should she pay a breach of contract fee?
"I haven’t signed a contract; what reason do I have to pay you?"
"No contract signed?" Asher Land sneered coldly, throwing a contract from the table onto her lap. "Take a good look; it’s all in black and white."
When Sophie saw those items, she immediately froze.
That day at the casting site, Asher Land had called on her to fill out some things with contact information, name, and such. She hadn’t looked carefully, thinking they were just going to do some registration, so she filled it all out and signed her name on the last page. Who knew the page she signed was actually a contract, and she was unknowingly sold out? Facing a clever, insidious man like Asher Land, how could she afford to be careless? She was truly being foolish to the extreme!
"Asher Land, you’re really despicable!"
"You can say whatever you want, but if you walk out the door now, be ready to accept court summons."
She couldn’t come up with so much money. Originally studying performance is a very costly profession; she couldn’t even pay her tuition, let alone having money to compensate him five million.
Her figure froze in place, unable to move.
A trace of pride flashed in Asher Land’s eyes. He knew no woman could escape his control.
He slowly approached her, wrapping her body from behind. Sophie despairingly closed her eyes, her eyes unwillingly reddened.
"Why be so aggrieved? Crying makes it seem like I abused you!" He frowned displeasedly, speaking coldly.
"Heh, isn’t this considered abuse?"
