Chapter 82: Chapter 82: If You Are Tired of Me

When everyone saw Sophie Smith get into Asher Land’s car, the gossip started up again.

"Isn’t that Sophie Smith, the lead actress of City of Desire? Ha, it looks like there’s definitely some unspeakable secret behind how she got this role!"

"Yeah, who knows how many times she accompanied President Land to get this role, she looks quite innocent, but she’s just a scheming bitch~."

"What’s it matter, relying on men to climb up is the simplest method for someone with no family or background anyway, especially with a handsome and wealthy man like President Land. If it were me, I’d make the same choice as her!"

"Watch what you say, do not let anyone hear, or they’ll take it and spread rumors." A girl kindly reminded.

"..."

Edward Harrison’s face was a bit pale. He clenched his fists unconsciously, his tall body trembling slightly. He watched the car disappear from sight, with an emotion in his eyes that was hard to discern.

...

"Who is he to you?" Inside the car, Asher Land’s eyes were icy. He asked disapprovingly. He remembered seeing that man once; she hugged him at the school gate. He’s a sharp guy, so she couldn’t expect to dismiss him this time with the typical ’just friends’ excuse.

"You already know in your heart, so why ask?" Sophie understood she couldn’t hide from his eyes, she just hoped he wouldn’t hurt Edward.

"I want to hear it from your mouth!"

Asher Land slammed on the brakes. Due to the inertia, Sophie’s body was thrown forward harshly.

"He’s the one I like."

The one she likes? Ha, she finally spoke the truth! Even though he didn’t want to hear it, it was better than her falsely telling him that man was just an ordinary friend.

"Oh, then should I consider how to get rid of this thorn in my side, this nuisance?" Asher Land sneered, "You’re getting bolder, daring to meet with another man behind my back?"

"No!" Sophie’s originally calm demeanor instantly collapsed, "Please, don’t hurt him, okay?"

Asher Land’s hand tightly gripped the steering wheel, wishing he could crush it. Sophie didn’t know why he was angry. He disliked hearing lies, but he also disliked hearing the truth. What did he want from her? Whatever she did or said, he was never satisfied. Since that was the case, why did he keep someone who offended him around?

"If you’re tired of me..."

"Shut up!" Asher Land sneered; he knew what she was thinking. He didn’t need her to remind him at every moment.

"Asher Land, why do you insist on keeping me by your side? I can see you hate me, and being around you only makes you upset, why bother..."

"Sophie, keeping you by my side is a sign of my regard for you, don’t be ungrateful."

This woman infuriated him with her skills; not long ago, he felt guilty toward her, wanting to make amends, yet she always managed to shift his intentions.

"You have so many women around, why insist on keeping me?"

"Enough!" Asher Land’s eyes were full of impatience, "Don’t think so highly of yourself. I can do without you."

Sophie turned her head toward the window, feeling increasingly desperate.

Seeing her silent, Asher Land had a flash of regret. This wasn’t his intention; he didn’t mean to say such hurtful things to her, but sometimes her stubbornness, her determination to leave him angered him.

Sophie’s phone suddenly rang; it was her assistant, Julia Brown, calling.
