Chapter 406 - 402 Who Can Compare to Asher Land’s Excellence? (4)
A surprise that Sophie Smith didn’t expect suddenly appeared.
Excitedly, she ran upstairs with the invitation in her hand, then opened the master bedroom door and flopped down on the soft big bed.
"Asher Land, I have something to tell you," she said, lying next to him, speaking to him with his eyes still closed.
"What is it?" he mumbled, still half-asleep, wanting to sleep a bit longer since he didn’t have to go to work today.
"The day after tomorrow, it’s my alma mater’s 80th anniversary, and they actually sent me an invitation, and even asked me to be the guest speaker," she said with a hint of pride in her voice.
He opened his eyes, looked at her, hesitated for a few seconds, then took out an invitation identical to hers from the drawer by the bed.
"How do you have one too?" She took the invitation from his hand and opened it; sure enough, it was from Eastern Film Academy.
"Your principal wants to establish a partnership with Golden Era," Asher Land said calmly.
"What partnership?"
"Your school has so many graduates every year, and Golden Era also invests in the film industry, so your principal wants a long-term cooperation, sending your school’s outstanding students to Golden Era Films."
Sophie nodded, acknowledging that it was indeed a feasible plan.
"So, are you going to attend our school’s anniversary?"
"I didn’t plan to go, but seeing that you’re attending, I’ll make an exception," he said, showing a slightly reluctant expression.
Sophie felt delighted hearing his words; as expected, Asher Land would do anything for her now.
Even things he didn’t like or want to do at all.
Seeing she didn’t speak, he glanced up at her.
"What? You don’t want me to go?"
"Of course not, it’s just that if you go with me, you can’t sit with me, and we can’t interact. What if someone finds out?"
Their relationship definitely couldn’t be revealed for the time being.
"Don’t overthink it. I’ll openly have you sit next to me when the time comes."
...
Indeed, during the 80th anniversary of Eastern Film Academy, Sophie truly attended openly with him.
She wore an ash grey floor-length evening gown, elegant yet graceful with a touch of freshness. Usually, Sophie didn’t wear such glamorous clothes; her face was very pure. However, her stylist liked dressing her in such outfits, saying her type was currently in vogue — pure looks with a hot figure, which made a strong visual impact. She protested several times, but Sunny agreed with the stylist’s positioning for her.
The skirt of the evening dress was quite long, so she walked very carefully.
Next to her was Asher Land, dressed in a black formal suit, tall and lean.
Her small hand rested on his arm, and the two of them, gracefully and elegantly, stepped into the anniversary gala under the spotlight.
All eyes turned towards them. The venue, which could accommodate more than 20,000 people, was already packed. Their appearance was, in fact, low-key, but even though they tried to be understated, they couldn’t hide the radiance they exuded.
Asher Land’s name was legendary in Eastern City, but at this moment, this significant figure actually appeared at such a small anniversary gala?
It was truly flattering and shocking to everyone.
