The school leaders wisely maintained their silence, naturally not daring to disturb Asher Land and Sophie Smith’s intimacy. "Are you full?" Seeing Sophie put down her chopsticks, he asked. Only then did Asher Land put down his chopsticks, picked up his wine glass, and turned his gaze to the other side. "Principal Hughes, Golden Era is very willing to cooperate with you, you can tell me the specific plan in detail." Asher Land finally relented, and the principal immediately returned to the main topic. In fact, discussing business over meals is a Chinese custom, but just now his woman did not like it, so he did not listen to their chatter. The principal spoke eloquently, and he merely nodded in agreement. Once the plan was finalized, the principal took a document from his briefcase and handed it to Asher Land. "If President Land has no objections, could you please sign it?" Asher Land glanced over the contract, found no problems, picked up his pen, and signed his name, thus completing this cooperation. Sophie breathed a sigh of relief, glad to finally be able to leave. As they walked out of the private room, the school leaders wore courteous smiles and bid him farewell. Asher Land slightly nodded, then wrapped his arm around Sophie’s waist, heading toward the parking lot. The school leaders were stunned, surprised that their school could produce someone capable of handling Asher Land! It was already late, so Asher Land picked up the car and decided to go back. Sophie sat in the passenger seat and took out her phone to browse. But as soon as she opened it, a few unread messages suddenly popped up. Content orıginally comes from 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝕟𝕖𝕥 They were from Edward Harrison. She silently repeated this name over and over again in her mind. The boy she once thought she could never leave behind was now gradually fading from her thoughts. She wondered if she was too heartless. There was a stabbing pain in her heart, like guilt, like self-reproach. Edward Harrison treated her so well, yet she hadn’t contacted him for so long... She opened her phone and checked the messages. [Little Sophie, I saw you at today’s school anniversary gala.] [It’s been so long, our Little Sophie is getting more and more beautiful.] [Why didn’t you tell me you’d be at the school anniversary gala?] [Shall we meet up? At the cafe in the East district of the school where we used to go.] Sophie gripped her phone tightly, feeling very upset inside. "Asher Land, I want to get out of the car." She turned her head to look at him, who was focused on driving, and said word by word. "I want to see someone." His gaze froze for a few seconds, but he still pulled the car over to the side of the road. "Who do you want to see?" "Edward Harrison, my friend." Asher Land vaguely felt that this name was familiar, but he couldn’t quite remember it. "Edward Harrison is my only good male friend from university. We grew up together, attended the same schools from elementary to university. He was very good to me. This time when I returned to school, he sent me a message wanting to meet..." Asher Land’s face looked a bit grim. Was it really appropriate for her to speak so highly of another man in front of her own man? Sophie naturally knew it wasn’t appropriate, but what she wanted to tell him was that she wouldn’t lie to him, she would tell him all her thoughts without reservation. "My relationship with Edward Harrison is definitely not what you think it is. If you don’t want me to meet him, then I won’t go." She put away her phone and turned her head toward the window, the disappointment on her face clearly visible.
