Looking at the hanging-up phone, Asher Land snorted coldly; that woman certainly had guts. He tossed the phone onto the ground, his thoughts completely disrupted by her.
"President Land, when is Miss Smith joining the crew?" the producer stood by and asked.
She was truly confused about why President Land would abandon the popular international star Hazel Quinn and choose a fledgling, inexperienced movie newcor.
"Tomorrow."
"Alright."
"Who will contact Miss Smith?"
"I will."
"Ah?" Clearly, the producer didn't expect Asher Land to personally step in. It seed that this Miss Smith must have sothing special about her, so she stopped asking questions.
To celebrate Sophie Smith's successful landing of the lead role in City of Desire, Eva Miller made a point of taking her to a high-end hotel, swearing that Sophie Smith should spend lavishly.
The gathering included only four people: Sophie Smith, Eva Miller, Amy, and Edward Harrison.
Edward Harrison arrived about fifteen minutes later than the others, and the mont he pushed open the door, Sophie Smith reflexively lowered her head.
Edward Harrison was an outstanding student at Eastern Film Academy, excelling in his courses and having strong acting skills. Earlier, he had starred in a film directed by a famous director, playing the second male lead.
"Wow, the school heartthrob is here!" Eva Miller stood up excitedly, hurrying to greet Edward Harrison.
Edward Harrison looked handso and fresh. In today's terminology, he was the quintessential "fresh at". He had many admirers, sothing Sophie Smith was well aware of, given their 21-year history together. They had attended the sa school since elentary, until now. So, Sophie Smith was quite acquainted with Edward Harrison's background.
In fact, the reason why she chose Eastern Film Academy initially was largely influenced by Edward Harrison, because his dream was to beco an excellent actor, and she had always treated his dream as her own.
"Congratulations, Little Sophie, your first film is the lead female role crafted with a huge budget, your starting point is much higher than my second male lead." Edward Harrison teased.
"It's just a coincidence, nothing more."
Sophie Smith's expression didn't look happy, though she was trying hard to project a cheerful deanor. But thinking about how she got the lead female role due to Asher Land's unsavory deal made her feel sick.
"It's not just a coincidence; everyone can see Little Sophie's talents." Edward Harrison said with a smile.
Edward Harrison was like a ray of sunshine, illuminating her, yet she unintentionally repelled his warmth from the dark corners of her heart.
Yes, Edward Harrison was such a noble existence, he must never be tainted by her filth.
"This is my gift for you." Edward Harrison took out a delicately wrapped small gift box from behind him, "Open it, you should like it."
"So beautiful!" As soon as it was opened, Eva Miller covered her mouth, unable to restrain her praises.
It was a star necklace, lying silently in the box, sparkling brightly.
"Thank you, I really like it." Sophie Smith tightly gripped the gift box, and said to Edward Harrison.
"Silly girl, as long as you like it."
The only person who could unreservedly be kind to her was probably Edward Harrison.
"The dishes are here, ti to eat!" Eva Miller picked up her chopsticks, ready to gorge herself, "This al isn't cheap, Amy, Edward, eat your fill, don't let Sophie Smith's good intentions go to waste."
Everyone was eating happily, but Sophie Smith seed distracted.
Her gaze was sowhat vacantly fixed on the door, her chopsticks incessantly stirring the rice in the bowl.
Suddenly, a tall silhouette appeared at the door, startling her, causing her chopsticks to fall to the ground, she hurried to bend down.
This scene naturally caught Asher Land's eye. With precise aim, he walked straight towards her.
