"Yes, President Land." Everyone quickly nodded and bowed, relieved that this time Asher Land didn’t deal with them. Otherwise, with Asher Land’s way of doing things, they didn’t even dare to imagine the consequences.
Asher Land drove Sophie Smith back to the apartment. She was soaking wet. He took her clothes from the wardrobe and changed her out of the wet ones. Asher Land was almost scared by his own actions. Since when did he, Asher Land, ever take care of someone? And not just anyone, but this woman who constantly opposed him and was so oblivious to romance?
He was very frustrated with his uncontrollable kindness towards her, yet he was powerless to change anything.
He went to a restaurant to buy some food, and by the time he came back, Sophie was already awake.
Sophie looked at the pajamas on her body, then at Asher standing at the door, and instantly understood something.
"Did you change my clothes?" she questioned him.
The first thing she asked upon waking was whether he changed her clothes? Why didn’t she ask who saved her from that wrecked pool?
"What’s with the yelling? Which part of you haven’t I seen?" Seriously, he didn’t know what she was so concerned about.
Asher shrugged, with an indifferent expression. This woman was truly an untamable wildcat.
"Eat." He threw the food he bought onto the dining table in the kitchen and headed to the living room himself.
Sophie originally wanted to continue arguing with him, but her stomach inconveniently growled with hunger.
She had no choice but to walk to the dining table.
After finishing her meal, Sophie ran straight to her room and shut the door.
She sat at her computer desk, staring at a cactus on the table, lost in thought,
What could she say about the twists of fate?
How did she end up ? Where did the Sophie Smith who strived for her dreams and life go?
Now she was like a lifeless puppet, unable to see the future, unable to see hope, thrown into a dark corner.
The culprit who brought her crashing from Heaven to Hell was Asher Land. Why did she have to meet him again? Why?
She didn’t want to mention four years ago, but his presence constantly reminded her of the past from four years ago.
She took out the gift box from her backpack, a gift from Edward Harrison, a star necklace. She held the necklace tightly, but right now she didn’t even feel she deserved to wear it.
In her heart, Edward Harrison was always someone more than a friend, though she didn’t know what Edward thought, she knew Edward was very good to her, better than any girl around.
She wanted to see him, wanted to see him very much.
With a click, the door opened, and Asher Land’s tall figure blocked the doorway.
Sophie snapped back to reality, her face still marked by traces of dried tears. She instinctively turned her head away, but all of this was caught by Asher Land’s keen eyes.
