Chapter 28: Direct Ignorance
Sophie Smith’s entrance was quite stunning.
She wore a plain chiffon dress, her figure graceful, with three thousand strands of dark hair tied into a high chignon, bright teeth and eyes, like a beauty stepping out of a classical painting. Her natural beauty was breathtaking, and her ancient costume accentuated her fresh and pure, orchid-like temperament.
"Truly beautiful," Wyatt Sterling couldn’t help but exclaim, his gaze seemingly captivated, staring straight at her.
"Thank you, Senior Brother..." Sophie said shyly, lowering her head. Yet, this scene fell right into Asher Land’s eyes; in his view, these two were simply exchanging flirtatious glances—how dare they do so in front of him?
"Action!" the director called out, as the cameras got into position. Sophie and Wyatt strolled outside the palace walls; Wyatt was undoubtedly an excellent actor. Once immersed in the role, his deeply affectionate eyes seemed to draw people in. Sophie found herself swept up by his emotions, and they got the scene right in one take! Astonishingly, although they had never worked together before, they seemed perfectly in tune.
Sophie sat on a bench resting, holding a bottle of mineral water, and took a big sip.
"President Land, it’s been a while since you’ve called me!"
Sophie heard a coy voice and turned to look. The owner of the voice was Anna.
Anna usually wasn’t like this; her speaking tone among their group of actors and crew was quite assertive, always presenting herself as a big star. But upon meeting Asher Land, she transformed into a demure woman, and this change in style unsettled Sophie.
