"A man’s voice? No, there’s none, you must have heard it wrong, Eva," Sophie quickly covered up.
"I definitely heard it, don’t try to fool me! Sophie, are you hiding something from me?"
"You heard it wrong, why would I hide something from you!" Sophie’s heart was in her throat; Eva Miller was a smart girl who had already sensed some gossip and wouldn’t let it go easily.
"It’s so noisy! Hang up the phone for me." Just when Sophie was tense, Asher Land, who was sleeping next to her, suddenly spoke up, holding her body and complaining unhappily.
This annoying Asher Land, if he doesn’t speak, no one would mistake him for a mute!
"Ah! You said there was no one! I just heard it again!" Eva’s sharp voice almost pierced her eardrums, and she hurriedly held the phone several feet away.
"Sophie, do you have a boyfriend?" Eva continued to press her, making her really have no way out.
"Oh! Eva, I need to go to the set now, let’s talk later when there’s a chance!" Sophie casually found an excuse to dodge and hung up the phone before Eva could reply.
Looking at the dreaming Asher Land, Sophie had the urge to slap him a couple of times, but the culprit was sleeping soundly right now.
Unbearably, she pretended to be careless and kicked him.
"What are you doing!" She used a bit of force, causing Asher Land to suddenly sit up from the bed, trying to suppress his anger.
"Sorry, I didn’t do it on purpose." She said innocently.
"You!" Asher Land couldn’t really get angry, he glanced at the time, it seemed still early, "Let’s sleep a bit more."
"Sleep yourself!" Us? Did he not realize he almost got her killed just now!
"Early in the morning, why such a bad temper?" Clearly, Asher Land didn’t understand what had irritated her.
Sophie went to the washroom to freshen up; she had a notice today to attend a ribbon-cutting ceremony for a newly opened department store.
"I found you an assistant." Asher Land supported himself on the bed with one hand, squinting his attractive eyes, lazily watching her.
She’s still an uninitiated rookie actress, how could she afford an assistant?
"No need, I rarely have notices now, and I don’t have the money to hire one." She’s already sent all her fees to Christopher Smith, she doesn’t have the ability to hire an assistant.
"This is arranged by the company for you, so you don’t need to worry about the salary."
She wasn’t sure if she should thank Asher Land; never mind, she’s under the Golden Era Consortium’s economic company, and he was obligated to do what’s best for the artists’ development.
When she arrived at the department store, a girl dressed in a casual T-shirt, light jeans, and with ponytailed hair suddenly jumped in front of her.
"You, who are you..." She didn’t have any impression of this girl who called her sis.
"My name is Julia Brown, I’m your assistant."
"Hello." Sophie greeted her warmly without any airs.
Julia was a very enthusiastic girl, one year younger than Sophie, she quickly took Sophie’s bag and kept handing her water to wipe sweat, she was very diligent.
"Julia, although you’re my assistant, you’re not my life nanny, some things I can do myself." She has hands and feet, there’s no need to trouble others with such tasks.
"It’s alright, Sophie, it’s an honor for me to serve you." Julia’s sincere attitude amused her, she smiled but said nothing further.
While waiting backstage, Sophie saw a familiar figure.
Wyatt Sterling turned around, he didn’t expect Sophie to also be a guest at the mall’s ribbon-cutting ceremony.
