"Sophie, you!" Isabella Yates seemed quite upset by her words, biting her lip tightly, her face flushed with anger.
Sophie Smith completely ignored Isabella Yates' urge to strangle her, leisurely turned around, and walked toward Asher Land's private room.
Isabella Yates had no choice but to follow along.
Sophie Smith pushed open the door to the private room, and a strong smell of smoke hit her nose. She instinctively frowned but still walked over to Asher Land's side.
Seeing her return, Asher Land's mood improved significantly, pulling her onto his lap to sit down.
"Where did you go?" His large hand slid over her cheek, and he didn't shy away from being intimate with her in public.
Sophie Smith was about to resist, but feared hurting his injured hand, so she held back and didn't make any large movements.
Isabella Yates sat at a small corner of the sofa with a grim expression. Zack Lewis had called her over to accompany Asher Land, but now Asher Land's attention was entirely on Sophie Smith. How could he care about her!
Isabella Yates was somewhat unwilling, giving Zack Lewis a meaningful look. Zack Lewis, with his shrewd eyes, took a sip from his glass and moved closer to Asher Land, who was flirting with Sophie Smith.
"President Land, beauties are never enough. Let me introduce you to someone." Zack Lewis beckoned Isabella Yates over, "This is Isabella, she's the campus belle of Eastern Film Academy!"
"Campus belle?" Asher Land squinted his attractive eyes, "Isn't the campus belle of the Eastern Film Academy sitting on my lap?"
What nonsense is this man talking? Sophie Smith glared at Asher Land, signaling him to restrain himself.
Zack Lewis didn't expect Sophie Smith was also from Eastern Film Academy, and Asher Land seemed quite satisfied with Sophie Smith, leaving him with no choice but to retreat sheepishly. However, Isabella Yates was not ready to give up, approaching Asher Land with a sweet, cloying smile and sitting beside him.
"President Land, ..."
"I'm not interested." As soon as Isabella Yates spoke, she was mercilessly interrupted by Asher Land.
Indeed, he was currently uninterested in anyone except her.
In front of everyone, he and Sophie Smith shared a long, passionate kiss,
Sophie Smith was both embarrassed and angry. People need face just as trees need bark, but apparently, this man's face was extra thick.
Everyone sensibly moved aside, not disturbing the couple's sweet moment. Isabella Yates was completely defeated, as Asher Land's attitude made it clear he was not letting any other woman close. She could only retreat to that dark corner and drink alone in frustration.
One day, she would make Sophie Smith feel the same pain.
"President Land, about the matter I discussed with you..." After a while, Zack Lewis began to get to the point, "The land in the Timber District has an excellent location, it's guaranteed to make a profit. If you're willing to invest, we can split it fifty-fifty."
Asher Land didn't say a word, his eyes lingering on Sophie Smith's lovely face.
"Or *** could work too, you take sixty, I take forty!" Zack Lewis, fearing Asher Land would refuse, quickly altered the deal terms.
Sophie Smith had never seen someone be so indecisive in business negotiations, but given the Golden Era Consortium's reputation, perhaps only when facing a financier like Asher Land would someone be willing to do so.
Asher Land, hearing Zack Lewis change the deal terms, finally nodded in satisfaction. As expected, no one could take advantage of Asher Land.
Zack Lewis, seeing the deal concluded, breathed a sigh of relief and then invited everyone to the card room next door to play cards.
"President Land, if you win, it's yours; if you lose, I'll cover it." Zack Lewis plastered a smile on his face, all for pleasing Asher Land.
Whether male or female, old or young, it seems everyone wants to please Asher Land at first sight, how tiresome.
"No thanks, I want to spend time with my woman tonight, I'm not in the mood."
