Noble Pampering: Demon CEO's Relentless Entanglement-Chapter 865 - 861: What If He Turns a Blind Eye? (Part 2)

"It’s okay, it’s okay, Asher Land will definitely come, he will definitely..." Sophie Smith muttered to herself, covering her ears and leaning against the wall, as if trying to distract herself.

"Asher Land, you’re not really that petty, are you..." Sophie lamented in her heart.

...

Meanwhile, at the Land family villa.

Asher Land sat on the sofa in the hall. It was already eleven o’clock, and he indeed felt a bit restless.

She hadn’t come back so late, was she really sulking with him?

"Young Master, should I make a call to Miss Smith?" Nanny Garcia said from the side, seeing Asher’s unease.

"No need." He thought for a moment, then casually uttered two words.

He clutched his phone tightly. Nanny Garcia didn’t know what Asher was thinking, but it was obvious the two had fought, yet neither wanted to back down...

After only about ten minutes, he finally couldn’t hold back and picked up the phone, dialing her number after all.

Bowing his head before her wasn’t a first or second time; what harm was there in doing it once more?

He could only persuade himself like this in his heart.

But when he dialed, the phone was turned off. What did that mean?

Was she determined to push him like this?

He took a deep breath from his heart and threw the phone onto the sofa.

"Young Master, Miss Smith..."

"Her phone’s off, it seems she doesn’t want to take my call." His tone was somewhat frustrated and resigned.

"Off? Could it be the battery died, or..."

Nanny Garcia’s words made him a bit uneasy. Would a turned-off phone mean something unexpected happened?

Soon, he had the secretary get Sunny and Eva Miller’s numbers.

Sunny said she went for a location shoot this afternoon and didn’t return with the bus afterwards.

Eva Miller said Sophie Smith wasn’t with her now.

Then, he called the current director.

The director told him an assistant took Sophie back, so she didn’t return with the bus.

He finally asked Julia Brown, and the answer was that Sophie hadn’t asked her to pick her up.

Going in circles, where was the problem?

He closed his eyes, trying his best to keep his mind calm.

He made another call to the director.

"Who told you an assistant took her back, was it her personally?" 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

"Oh..." The director’s tone was somewhat cautious, "No, it was, it was an actor in the same crew, her name is Isabella Yates..."

Isabella Yates?

No impression.

"Give me her contact information, I need to ask her personally."

...

Sophie felt she really couldn’t hold on any longer. She was afraid to close her eyes, but right now her eyelids felt like they were fighting.

She didn’t know how many hours she’d been here, but the surroundings were getting colder, making her briefly unable to stay conscious.

The bathroom environment in the outskirts wasn’t very good, with cockroaches and rats scurrying across the floor, scaring her into a scream, and she hid in a corner.

Right now, she really hoped that in the middle of the night, she’d just happen to meet someone passing by to use the restroom...

It was eerily quiet around, the silence was somewhat terrifying.

Suddenly, a series of hurried footsteps broke into her ears, then there was a commotion outside the door, something was thrown to the ground with a heavy sound, and then, the door opened...

Sophie crouched on the ground, hearing the door open, she looked towards the door with both surprise and fear...
