Her face was as red as if it were about to bleed, she grabbed a pillow from the bed and threw it at him.
He stretched his long arm and easily caught it.
"After making you feel comfortable, is this how you treat me?"
Seeing her shy expression, his mood inexplicably improved. It seemed bringing her along this time was the right decision; his woman should always be by his side.
This time, he was in Italy on a business trip and had arranged a meeting with a local business client. For him to personally step in, it had to be someone of significance.
But that’s not the main point. The key is that this businessman is the biggest exporter of Hush Sky Group. If he can persuade this client to switch to Golden Era, it will severely impact Hush Sky Group, giving him the chance to proceed with his next steps.
His father was pressuring him step by step, threatening him to return to the European Headquarters by forcing him to acquire 50% of Hush Sky’s shares, but he would never fulfill his father’s wish.
He glanced at the time; it was time to get up.
The two of them changed their clothes and headed downstairs together.
Sophie Smith was kept in the dark the entire time, not knowing where he was taking her.
A stretch Lincoln was parked at the hotel entrance, and a waiter respectfully opened the car door for them.
The car finally stopped at a luxurious five-star hotel.
"President Land, this way, please." Just as they got out, someone came to guide them.
The waiter led them into a private room, and Sophie’s gaze swept around, noticing it was indeed a uniquely designed gathering place.
The hotel floor was made of glass, standing there, looking down, it seemed like one could overlook the city’s most beautiful scenery.
The delightful sound of the cello gently filled the spacious hall, making one feel comfortable, with all their fatigue slowly dissipating.
Sophie clung to Asher Land’s arm. Although initially resistant to coming here, she had become smarter now. She knew Asher Land must be taking her to meet a client, and judging by the momentum, it must be a major client. Hence, she at least couldn’t lose courtesy and make him lose face.
She presented herself gracefully, her lips adorned with an appropriate, gentle, enchanting smile.
"President Land, hello."
A foreign man, around thirty years old, walked over, gentlemanly extending his hand and greeting Asher Land with fluent English.
The man’s features were well-defined, with a high nose bridge, fair skin, and wearing black-framed glasses, which made him appear refined.
"Mr. Smith, hello." English was Asher Land’s second language, so communicating with the foreign man was naturally no problem, making it unnecessary to bring along a translator.
The man’s full name was John Smith, a young leader of foreign enterprises in Italy. He had partnerships with several companies in Eastern City, including Hush Sky Group, which relied on him for 50% of its exports. John was Hush Sky’s largest client.
"President Land, it’s a great honor to meet you. I heard you’re recently interested in the jewelry business?"
Jewelry business? Honestly, he wasn’t, and didn’t know how John got that idea.
"Indeed, if Mr. Smith has good plans, why not discuss them with me? Golden Era is very willing to collaborate with you," Asher Land responded casually.
"Oh? Really?" John became interested; it’s well-known that Golden Era Consortium is financially powerful, collaborating with them means no worries about funding, making it a sure-profit venture.
