Chapter 81: Chapter 81: Just Treat It as Me Begging You

Sophie Smith’s eyes were a bit red. She feared that Edward Harrison would notice her melancholic emotions, so she quickly turned her head to the other side. However, the attentive Edward had already seen the change in her mood.

"Little Sophie, I really want to know what’s been happening with you recently? Will you tell me?" Edward said almost pleadingly.

"I’m fine, I just really miss school life."

After hearing her words, Edward couldn’t help but burst into laughter. It turned out his Little Sophie was still a child who hadn’t grown up.

"Little Sophie, we can’t live forever in the environment we want. You need to slowly adapt to everything outside, you know?"

But what he didn’t know was that facing a formidable opponent like Asher Land, she had no confidence to take even the next step.

Sophie Smith changed clothes and got ready to have dinner with Edward Harrison. She hadn’t walked far before she saw the person she least wanted to see at the moment.

Asher Land seemed to have installed a tracking device on her. No matter where she went, as long as he wanted, he could find her anytime and anywhere. She couldn’t escape from his control.

At the crowded school gate, Asher Land’s presence was exceptionally eye-catching.

He was impeccably dressed in a suit, exuding a unique noble aura, causing a stir around him. Everyone had heard of Asher Land, the wealthy prince of Golden Era Consortium.

"That’s President Land of the Golden Era Consortium. What’s he doing at the Eastern Film Academy?"

"Last time he came to choose the female lead for City of Desire. Wonder what this visit is about?"

"Oh my god, he’s really handsome!"

"Yes, my heart feels like it’s about to leap out when I see him."

"..."

The chatter was incessant, but no one dared to approach. The aura of authority that Asher Land exuded made people feel a sense of distance.

Asher Land’s gaze curiously appraised her. If she were smart, she would keep her distance from the man by her side right now.

But she did not.

Sophie Smith mustered her courage, clutching Edward Harrison’s arm. She didn’t know what she was thinking; she just wanted to escape from Asher Land.

She bowed her head, deliberately ignoring Asher’s presence.

"Little Sophie." Edward Harrison stopped walking. "Isn’t that President Land from Golden Era Consortium? Aren’t you going to say hello?"

After all, she was chosen by him personally as the female lead.

"I think he’s here for other matters. Let’s not disturb him." Sophie Smith casually bluffed, pulling Edward towards the restaurant.

"No way!" Edward’s gaze had a hint of reproach. "Little Sophie, no matter what, he’s your mentor of sorts, it’s necessary to greet him. Besides, he seems to be constantly watching you."

Disregarding Sophie’s reluctance, Edward directly pulled her towards Asher Land.

He stood not far behind her, his gaze continuously encouraging her to move forward.

This feeling was like being pushed onto the guillotine by someone she liked the most.

Asher Land gave a wicked smile, slowly approaching her, finally stopping two steps away.

"Do you know I’ve been looking for you?" He bent down, speaking in a voice only they could hear.

"Can you leave first?" Sophie Smith lowered her head, her eyes showing a hint of avoidance. "I’ll come find you later."

She didn’t want Edward to think there was anything intimate or inappropriate between her and Asher Land.

"No, I cannot." He replied with unusual certainty.

"I’m begging you." Sophie cast a glance at Edward, feeling a bit uneasy.

"I won’t agree to your request." Asher Land snorted coldly, "Get in the car."

Get into Asher Land’s car in front of everyone?

She didn’t know what Edward would think, but she knew Asher Land definitely wanted to embarrass her at the moment, yet what could she do? She had no ability to refuse him, none at all.

Sophie Smith turned around, hesitantly walking to Edward’s side.

"I’m sorry, Edward. President Land is here to discuss movie matters with me, I have to go first." Edward smiled and nodded in agreement, habitually brushing her hair with his hand.

This scene was naturally noticed by Asher Land, whose anger in his eyes unconsciously deepened.
