Asher Land’s eyes showed some astonishment.
She said, "Asher Land, I’m sorry, I don’t deserve your kindness."
So. Was she admitting his kindness to her?
He always thought that in her heart, she saw him as an unforgivable criminal who had imprisoned her.
"Asher Land, thank you."
Although she didn’t know what he would do to her next, for now, she truly appreciated him.
These past few days, Sophie Smith stayed at the Land Family to recover her health. She couldn’t deny that those two days confined in the basement had caused some harm to her body. The basement was very damp and cold, and she didn’t eat anything...
Lately, she learned that Asher Land, for her sake, had drunk a lot of alcohol that night, even causing a gastric hemorrhage.
Thinking of this, she felt even guiltier toward him.
Asher Land only rested at home for one day and then went to the company.
But he hadn’t settled in at the company before receiving a call from Robert Williams; he drove directly to the address Robert gave him.
It was a private entertainment club, he parked the car and followed the waiter’s lead into a private room.
"President Land, what brings you here today?"
The door to the private room was opened, and the people inside initially didn’t notice it. But as soon as he stepped in, they were startled, though they quickly regained their composure.
A middle-aged man holding a wine glass walked to the door, nodding and bowing.
"Deputy President King, you wouldn’t mind my uninvited presence, would you?" Asher Land curled his lips slightly; he was cool and reserved, his noble posture forming a stark contrast with the disheveled women inside the room.
"Not at all. President Land, it’s our honor that you graced us with your presence." Deputy President King was quite adept at flattery.
He respectfully invited Asher Land to sit down, poured him a drink, and even called over a few beautiful women.
"I’ll drink this, but these people..." Asher Land’s gaze swept over the group of sensuous, enticing women, "as for these people, I don’t need them."
Deputy President King thought Asher Land was too picky, as he hadn’t seen any lack of women. Although these women accompanying the drinks were attractive and well-built, their vulgar air was overpowering. He could only smile awkwardly to ease the tension.
Deputy President King, with a woman on each side, one feeding him drinks and another massaging his back, truly knew how to enjoy himself.
"Deputy President King, there’s something I’m unsure whether I should say."
"Please, go ahead." Deputy President King responded quickly, though unaware whether he would still feel pleased after hearing his words.
"You’re a family man, your son is about to start college, yet you’re still dallying outside. Isn’t that inappropriate?"
"Well..." Deputy President King coughed awkwardly, pretending to sip his drink to hide his discomfort.
Asher Land knew that Deputy President King was severely controlled by his wife; her father was an old general with some influence in the political arena. Deputy President King’s current position at Hush Sky Group was largely due to his father-in-law’s support.
"President Land, there are things I’m obliged to do..." Deputy President King’s tone weakened as he spoke.
"What kind of obligation leads you to cheat on your wife?"
Deputy President King’s face turned slightly pale, clueless on how to respond immediately. He couldn’t fathom why the mighty president of Golden Era Group was meddling in his personal affairs. Read complete version only at noveⅼfire.net
