Turning his thoughts around, Robert suddenly came up with a solution.
Why not pull someone in as a scapegoat? That way, the big boss wouldn’t get mad at him.
So, quite shamelessly, he dragged a random bystander onto that Maybach.
"President Land, it’s complicated. Perhaps it’s better for the eyewitness to explain what happened."
There’s nothing complicated about it; it could be summed up in just one sentence.
That is, Sophie Smith was romantically proposed to by a fan.
But if Asher Land hears such news, Robert isn’t sure if Asher would set the scene on fire, after all, Sophie is the woman Asher dotes on the most, and competing for her affection...
The girl dragged onto the car was slightly chubby, and upon seeing Asher Land in the car, her jaw nearly dropped.
Her first reaction was, my goodness! This man is so handsome.
The girl stared unblinkingly at Asher Land, which made him somewhat impatient.
"Robert, what actually happened at the company entrance?"
"Oh, it’s ..." The girl perked up and finally snapped out of her daze as Asher spoke, and began excitedly talking.
"Sir, do you know Sophie Smith? She’s the lead actress in City of Desire, wow, she’s really beautiful..."
"Get to the point!" His woman’s beauty wasn’t anything surprising.
"Oh oh..." The woman nodded repeatedly, "The point is, the beautiful Miss Smith was proposed to by a rich kid at the company entrance today. His father is the president of Suntown Group..."
Proposed to! Proposed to! Proposed to!
Asher Land’s grim expression signaled that a storm was about to unfold.
Yet the chubby girl didn’t notice this, and kept on narrating.
"The scene was truly romantic, luxury car, roses, balloons, champagne, the romantic elements lacked nothing, oh, I even recorded the video, it’s the heartful confession of that rich kid. If I were Miss Smith, I’d definitely marry him..."
"Enough, enough, please leave for now. Thank you for sharing this with us." Robert shoved the fearless girl out.
Asher Land sat in the car, expressionless. Robert felt a bit uncertain, so he tentatively spoke.
"President Land, what should we do?"
"Call over a dozen police cars to secure the scene."
Ha, he’s going to turn it into a crime scene.
Thus, Robert efficiently summoned over a dozen police cars, which drove up in a grand display.
"Oh, by the way, call a team of cleaners to tidy up the scene."
To hell with champagne, roses, luxury cars, balloons.
Police cars came roaring in, instantly surrounding the crowd.
"Wh-what’s going on?" The fan proposing was stunned, how come in this day and age, even the police intervene when proposing to someone you love!
"Mr. Chapman, you’re suspected of causing a disturbance, please come to the station with us!"
The officer, saying nothing further, tossed his roses aside, cuffed him, and shoved him into the police car.
"The rest of you, disperse!"
Seeing police cars mobilized, the bystanders felt a bit frightened, lost all interest in watching the scene, and quickly scattered in all directions.
All that’s left are a group of cleaners clearing roses and balloons from the scene.
Sophie Smith and Oliver Johnson exchanged glances, feeling helpless with a smile.
"I didn’t expect you to have such charm." Oliver Johnson sighed.
"Stop teasing me." Today’s farce really made her lose face.
Sophie realized she was now in Oliver’s arms and quickly apologized, fleeing from his embrace in haste.
Earlier, he had been protecting her, ensuring the fan proposing didn’t act rashly.
She was about to say something else when she noticed a tall, familiar figure approaching her.
