Sophie Smith walked backstage with trepidation, at this moment, she felt a cowardly urge to leave here.
She no longer had any intention of mingling, her steps hurried towards the direction of the restroom.
She entered the restroom like a guilty thief, then leaned her entire body against the icy wall, nervously closing her eyes.
He was always resentful about her absence from the Golden Era Gala last time, and they had a fierce quarrel because of it. Knowing him, this time she attended another gala behind his back, he would definitely lose his temper, although she had good reasons, he might not necessarily listen to her explanations.
She hesitated alone in the restroom for a long while but decided to leave the gala first.
However, just as she stepped out of the restroom, she saw the figure she feared most.
"I thought you’d never come out."
He eyed her with a curious mix of amusement and scrutiny, strangely enough, she couldn’t discern his emotions at the moment.
Sophie nervously clasped her hands behind her back, using the corner of her eye to glance at him, radiating a cold aura.
"If you have the patience to hear me out..."
Alright, since he didn’t want to listen, then so be it. She mustered up the courage to bypass him, only to be abruptly yanked back by him, her body stumbled into his embrace.
"Sophie, do you know? Right now, I almost feel like slapping you."
She dressed so sexily, so beautifully, and it turned out to be for another man? How could he not be angry?
She immediately frowned, did he mean that seriously?
"You, you let go of me!"
She began to struggle slightly, she wouldn’t be foolish enough to wait there for him to hit her!
"Don’t move!" Her inadvertent movements now seemed to be igniting the fire, provoking the most primal desire within him.
Sophie thought he might truly not go easy on her, so she desperately struggled in his arms.
There were footsteps coming towards the restroom, both were startled, if they were seen tangled here, it would definitely become a topic of gossip outside.
Asher Land swiftly pulled her into the adjacent men’s restroom and closed the door.
In the cramped space, they seemed to feel each other’s heated breath.
"Don’t move, if we’re discovered, it won’t just be me who’s embarrassed," he softly said in her ear.
The footsteps got closer, Sophie’s heart was about to leap out, she tightly clutched his sleeve.
The sound of running water came from the restroom, several men were chatting loudly.
"Did you see the spokesperson for Hush Sky Group? Really stunning!"
"Not just stunning, she’s like a goddess, with that appearance, that figure, any man would lose control."
"Although her fame isn’t that big yet, but she leaves those entertainment circle actresses far behind, Hush Sky Group really hit the jackpot this time."
Sophie hadn’t expected this group of men to be discussing her, her face was even more embarrassed.
"Didn’t expect, so many men covet you." He said this with indescribable emotions.
"However, let me tell you all, don’t even think about having any improper thoughts about her!" A deep male voice suddenly emerged, "I heard that Sophie Smith has a powerful backer!"
"Who? Doesn’t he just have a few bucks? We have money too!"
"Even with this money, you might not be able to win her over, her big backer is Asher Land from Golden Era Consortium!"
