Looking at her puzzled expression, he also found himself speechless, with suffering he couldn’t put into words.

"Asher, are you not interested in me, or... you’re just not capable anymore?"

Asher’s lips twitched, damn it, this woman actually doubting him? 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"Stop thinking wildly." Asher said, ready to get up, but was held down by Sophie.

"What now, you want to ’force the bow’ today?" Asher pinched her jaw, a hint of a smile playing at the corner of his mouth.

"I..." A flush of color crossed Sophie’s face. She was genuinely curious; it had been over a week since he touched her...

Thinking about it, if she really ’forced herself’ on Asher, it might seem a bit shameless.

She adjusted her loosened nightgown, got off him, and lay back on the bed.

As the weather gradually turned cold, her laziness acted up, and she just wanted to lie in bed all day.

Asher changed his clothes, standing impeccably dressed in a suit in front of the full-length mirror, Sophie stared at him for a long time until he turned around, prompting her to quickly withdraw her gaze.

"I’m going to the company." He thought, indeed, Luke had been hard at work recently, so it was best to make a visit to the company today.

"Okay."

Watching Asher leave, it wasn’t long before Eva called her.

"Sophie, guess who I saw today?" Eva’s voice was filled with excitement, "Hurry up, come quickly to Z&A Shopping Center, haha, it’s really satisfying."

Eva’s words were so vague, Sophie listened in confusion.

"Can you make it clearer?"

"No."

"..."

What on earth does Eva mean?

"Anyway, if I explained clearly, you probably wouldn’t come, so I’ve decided not to say. If you’re curious, you should come take a look."

"Haha." Sophie laughed coldly, "I’m hanging up."

"No, no, no!" Eva quickly stopped her, "I ran into Irene here, she’s in trouble and can’t get away. Are you sure you don’t want to come over and join the fun?"

Join the fun?

Irene?

"I don’t have the time to spare." Sophie answered coldly.

"But Z&A is a shopping mall under the Golden Era Consortium. If this issue blows up, it might reach President Land’s ears. I think in about an hour, President Land might show up, are you sure you don’t want to come check it out?" Eva clicked her tongue in admiration, "But Sophie, you can totally come and resolve this now. If you do, then President Land and Irene won’t have the chance to meet, understand?"

Sophie wasn’t sure what Eva was talking about? It sounded like the situation was quite serious, does an issue at a shopping mall under the Golden Era Consortium really need to involve Asher?

But she had to admit, as Eva suggested, she had to cut off all contact between Asher and Irene.

She hung up the phone, changed her clothes, and decided to go to Z&A Shopping Center.

A crowd had already gathered at the entrance of the mall, Sophie just felt the situation was somewhat strange.

She didn’t go in directly but instead called Eva, who had been ’watching the fun,’ and asked her to come out.

Eva rushed over, "So, you’ve decided to come take a look?"

"Just tell me briefly what exactly happened."

"It’s actually not a big deal." Eva chuckled awkwardly twice, she just thought Irene had always been too overbearing, and now finally being bullied with no way to raise her head made Eva feel vindicated, and she wanted Sophie to see for herself.
