Chapter 120 Valentine’s Day Gift (Part 1)

Chapter 120: Chapter 120 Valentine’s Day Gift (Part 1)For this period of time, Asher Land hadn’t come to see her. Their relationship began to take on a subtle change. Logically speaking, she should have been overjoyed that Asher didn’t come looking for her, yet she wasn’t as happy as she imagined. On the contrary, there was an inexplicable emotion making her uncomfortable.

She was an extremely passive woman. Since Asher Land didn’t come to find her, she would never take the initiative to find him. She automatically tuned out everything about him, ignoring it all.

"I don’t know if you’ve heard, but last time, someone caught President Land sending a new actress home, that one, what’s her name again..."

"Leila Lee!" someone reminded nearby.

"That’s right, Leila Lee. That woman is really something; she actually managed to win over President Land. It’s estimated that President Land will use her in his next movie."

Sophie Smith walked through the company, hearing people gathered in groups chattering away.

Is this something surprising? Not at all.

She knew Asher Land’s nature somewhat; any woman who made him happy was bound to get some benefits, just like Anna and Rose Sterling.

"Sister Sophie, do you know Leila Lee?" Julia Brown caught up with her, asking.

"I don’t know."

"Don’t you remember? The last time we went to meet a client, Leila Lee was there too, constantly throwing suggestive glances at President Land..."

"Enough, Julia." Sophie Smith smiled, interrupting Julia, who was about to go on endlessly. "I have no interest in knowing about this."

Julia inwardly felt a bit sorry for Sophie. She could see that Asher Land actually had feelings for her, but why didn’t she seem to know how to subtly take the opportunity? There are countless people who flock to Asher Land, yet Sophie remains indifferent.

She walked into the lounge only to find many people already there.

Anna, Rose Sterling, and even Leila Lee, who was just being talked about...

This was practically a gathering of Asher Land’s women!

She politely greeted them, intending to leave soon. This wasn’t a place to linger.

"Sophie, don’t rush off, come chat with us for a bit," Anna said.

Since Anna was her senior in the company, basic respect was necessary, so she had to sit down with them.

"Today is Valentine’s Day, I wonder if you all received a gift from President Land?"

Valentine’s Day?

Alright, Sophie inwardly gave a bitter smile. She’s been single for twenty-one years, when has she ever had a Valentine’s Day?

"Of course!" It was Leila Lee speaking as she took a gold card from her bag. "President Land said I can spend the money inside however I like."

Rose Sterling was unimpressed, "President Land giving you money is just to brush you off. Today, he gave me roses, 999 of them, much more thoughtful than yours."

Thoughtful? Sophie only felt disgusted.

This emperor with his harem of women, does he really enjoy watching them fight over him? His ability to charm women was truly impeccable.

"Sister Anna, President Land likes you the most, what did he give you?" Rose Sterling curiously asked on the side.

"Oh, he didn’t send anything, but he asked me to accompany him tonight." Everyone’s expressions froze slightly. Golden cards, roses, none of it compared to spending a night together.

Sophie found she had nothing in common with them and left on the pretext of having a magazine cover shoot.

"Julia, I’m heading back now. If Sister Sunny needs anything from me, just call my phone."

"Okay."

Her current work pace was much slower than other newcomers, so she often found herself feeling adrift. Sophie noticed her laziness growing stronger, sometimes wanting to do nothing at all, except sleep comfortably or read a book at home all day. Not a good sign.

Passing by a supermarket, she went in to buy some fresh ingredients for cooking.

She thought if she was bored every day, she might as well find something to do; cooking for herself was doable too. If she couldn’t be an actor, switching to becoming a chef could work.

Of course, this was just a whimsical idea in her head.
