Chapter 132: Open Declaration of War (Part 1)

Chapter 132: Chapter 132: Open Declaration of War (Part 1)The host also used the word "popular" to describe her, which she felt was a bit much.

She signed her name on the signature board, followed closely by Wyatt Sterling.

"I think you two make a great pair, on-screen couple. Is there any possibility of development off-screen?" the host asked with a curious smile.

Sophie Smith rarely gives interviews like this, so she seemed a bit inexperienced when answering questions.

"Let things take their course. Sophie is an excellent actress, and I certainly hope we have more opportunities to collaborate in the future."

Sure enough, Wyatt Sterling was more adept at handling such situations.

She smiled beside him, indicating agreement.

"City of Desire is off to a great start. Do you two have any expectations for the box office?"

"Of course, being at the top of the box office would be best," Wyatt Sterling joked.

"Oh! Wyatt seems quite confident about the box office. If it successfully reaches the top, do you both have any plans to offer fans some benefits?"

"Well..." Wyatt looked at Sophie with a gentle smile, "If the box office hits the top, we’ll be together."

"Wow! Is that true?" The host widened his eyes as if sensing a scoop.

Sophie was also taken aback; she had not anticipated Wyatt Sterling saying such words. They are public figures, and their words in front of the camera might be magnified tenfold, a hundredfold.

"Of course, this might just be my wishful thinking, but Sophie will always be my ideal leading lady, and I hope there will be a chance to be with her."

Sophie was so stunned by his words that she felt somewhat unsettled, her smile gradually turning awkward. Countless flashlights were capturing their expressions fiercely, with such intensity and speed that she found it hard to keep her eyes open.

"Alright, let’s all look forward to City of Desire being a box office hit!" Given the time constraints, the host did not give her a chance to speak, which was fortunate, otherwise she wouldn’t have known what to say. She was anxious about how the newspapers and the internet would report this afterward.

Wyatt Sterling felt that her palm was already sweaty and held her hand more tightly.

"Wasn’t it a bit inappropriate to say that?" Sophie asked in a low voice, with her head down.

"It wasn’t inappropriate." Wyatt Sterling showed his accustomed warm smile, "Don’t worry."

How could she not worry? If the media stirred things up and wrote recklessly, what if Asher Land saw it? She couldn’t clear her name, even if she jumped into the Nile River.

Wait!

What was she thinking just now? Her first thought was fear of Asher Land seeing it? Why was that? It shouldn’t be like this, she shouldn’t care about Asher Land first!

She shook her head vigorously, as if trying to erase the thought from her mind.

Wyatt Sterling could clearly see her discomfort. She was a straightforward person, just wanting to find her place steadily in the entertainment industry. She didn’t understand how to use promotional tactics to boost her fame, such as sparking rumors with him, she could certainly raise her profile.

However, he said those words completely out of sincerity; he liked Sophie from the moment he first saw her.

And his words today were undeniably a public declaration of war against Asher Land. He knew Sophie was Asher Land’s woman, but he couldn’t stand her being by Asher’s side and suffering any grievances, so he decided to take action to pull her away from Asher Land.
