Damn it, this man clearly just doesn't want to go himself, yet he's using her as a shield!
"A night of spring is worth a thousand pieces of gold, so we won't disturb President Land." Zack Lewis tactfully steps aside, leading a group of people towards the card room.
Isabella Yates shoots a vicious look at Sophie Smith, but helplessly follows Zack Lewis.
Once those people are far enough away, Sophie Smith pushes Asher Land aside.
She's given him enough face; tonight, she's just being used by him as a shield to ward off other women, to ward off card games, ...
"A night of spring is worth a thousand pieces of gold; everyone else understands this principle, why don't you?" Asher Land sighs a lengthy sigh, although he has agreed not to touch her these few nights.
Sophie Smith ignores him and directly gets into the car; Asher Land follows closely behind.
He can see her unhappiness; she doesn't enjoy socializing, but isn't he also out of choices?
He's completely on the path of 'model good man' now—doesn't mess around with women, doesn't stay out all night, doesn't gamble...
Hmm, he's almost moved by himself.
Sophie Smith sits in the back, deliberately maintaining a distance from Asher Land. Thanks to him, she has to film another scene tomorrow; her precious time is being used for socializing .
Asher Land moves closer, Sophie Smith shifts her body to the side, ultimately pressing tight against the car door.
"Do you really have to get angry about this?" Though his tone seems firm, the underlying message has softened a bit, "I won't do this again next time, alright? Just one social event getting you all worked up, it's really tiresome."
"I'm tiresome? You can find other women." Sophie Smith gives a smile so fake even she can't believe it, "Isabella Yates is indeed the campus flower of our Eastern College; she's not only beautiful but also very understanding, she can accompany President Land to socialize with ten, a hundred clients without any problem."
"Do you feel uncomfortable if you don't upset me for a day?"
It's because of her that he doesn't get involved with other women. Why can't she ever see this? Has he been so unclear about his intentions?
That's right; she feels uncomfortable if she doesn't upset him for a day. If she irritates him every day, he might get tired of her and make her leave.
Asher Land certainly knows what's on her mind; her emotions are always written on her face.
"Let me tell you, every time you upset me, you get to stay by my side for an extra week. You decide what to do."
Sophie Smith's heart suddenly sinks; his threats always seem to work on her.
Isabella Yates, wearing ten-centimeter high heels, climbed five flights of stairs to her dormitory, her legs almost breaking.
She angrily pushes the door open and tosses her bag onto the desk.
"Hey, Isabella, who dared to upset you again?" Eva Miller observes with a sense of schadenfreude, especially since Isabella often bullies Sophie Smith for no reason.
"Hmph, of course it's the 'big star' in our dorm." Isabella Yates gets angrier the more she thinks about it. The thought of Sophie Smith becoming Asher Land's woman makes her feel completely blocked inside. Why does she get to be so lucky!
"Isabella, you shouldn't say that, Sophie hasn't been back to school for ages, how did she upset you? You can't just blame her because you're in a bad mood!" Eva Miller says earnestly.
"Why are you always speaking up for her?"
"Because Sophie Smith really is a good person, she's especially good, you just don't know her well. If you genuinely spend time with her..."
"Enough!" Isabella Yates sneers, "She's a good person? Would a good person be so shameless to let a man keep her?"
