Sophie Smith couldn't even lift her head at this moment. They've had that kind of relationship many times, and if she acted this shy, he might think she's being pretentious. But she really couldn't control her emotions.
Sophie almost completed this difficult, yet blush-inducing task with her eyes closed.
Asher Land looked at her flushed cheeks, his eyes full of amusement.
"Remember what you promised," Sophie said, her head lowered.
"Oh? What did I say?" He deliberately teased her, knowing how sensitive she was.
"You..." Sophie suppressed her anger, "You said if I helped you bathe, you wouldn't touch me for the next few nights!"
"Is that so..." He mused, "Not at night, but how about during the day?"
Sophie was filled with resentment inside.
"Alright, alright, I won't touch you." Asher Land impatiently shook his head. Looks like he'll have to endure for a few ****, but didn't he always keep his word?
Hearing his words, she finally sighed in relief. She changed her clothes, tidied up her makeup, and went off to the film crew.
Tonight, Asher Land had a business gathering at a certain venue. After some thought, he had Robert Williams pick up Sophie, who was currently on a film set.
"What do you want to do?" Sophie asked, sitting in the car with a displeased expression. He's always so presumptuous, as if all her personal space was occupied by him, and he could summon her at will.
"Accompany me to discuss business. What? You don't want to?"
"Of course, I don't!" She stared directly into his eyes, "I'm filming, I don't have the time for this."
This woman could reject him without even blinking.
However, she naturally had no right to refuse. Asher Land ordered Robert Williams to drive directly to the venue, ignoring Sophie's desperate struggle.
Robert Williams was the first to get out of the car, opening the door for Asher Land and Sophie. Sophie froze at the entrance of the venue, unwilling to take a step inside.
These upper-class business exchanges were always a mess, and she really disliked such occasions.
"Should I find eighteen large palanquins to carry you in?" Asher Land gave a cold snort, disregarded her resistance, and walked straight into the venue. Sophie tried to turn and leave, but Robert Williams blocked her path with an outstretched hand.
"Miss Smith, you should listen to President Land, otherwise, I might really have to get those palanquins." Robert Williams 'helpfully' suggested.
She had no choice now. She reluctantly moved forward, following behind Asher Land.
Seeing her follow, he curved his lips into a smile and domineeringly pulled her into his arms.
This time, Asher Land was here to discuss business with the top-tier real estate executives of Eastern City, namely, Zack Lewis, the boss of Eternal Estate. Zack had his eyes on a piece of land in the prime Timber District of Eastern City, intending to develop it into a commercial plaza. He hoped to persuade Asher Land to invest, as it was well-known that the Golden Era Group was financially powerful enough to buy the entire Timber District, though it was uncertain if they were interested in his proposal and willing to invest.
Zack Lewis also brought along a group of people to accompany him, hoping to make the wealthy investor enjoy himself a bit.
Sophie and Asher followed the waiter and entered the private room.
"President Land, you've arrived," everyone stood up to greet them. Sophie resisted and stepped back, but was pulled into Asher Land's arms, unable to move.
"Oh, President Land, you, you brought a female companion with you." Zack Lewis let out an awkward laugh. In truth, he had picked out many beautiful women in advance, but it seemed the man didn't care and brought his own woman along.
Sophie's gaze swept across the private room when suddenly a familiar figure caught her eye.
