Chapter 49: Using a Man to Climb Up

Chapter 49: Chapter 49: Using a Man to Climb UpFeeling a bit uneasy, she walked out together with Jessica Wood, while Wyatt Sterling looked at her departing figure with a touch of puzzlement, his feet unconsciously moving to follow. In a corner of the filming set, Jessica Wood crossed her arms, gazing at Sophie Smith with a slightly disdainful look in her eyes. "I just don’t understand, how could President Land be interested in someone so insignificant like you, visiting the set every other day," Jessica said with a sour tone. "If your only purpose in talking to me is to put me down, then I probably shouldn’t be standing here." "I ask you, did you do what you promised me last time?" Last time? Sophie remembered that Jessica had asked her to recommend her to Asher Land. "No," Sophie said honestly. "You!" Jessica raised her voice involuntarily, "Don’t think that just because you’re with President Land you can fly high; someday President Land will throw you away like an old piece of clothing." After finishing her words, Jessica walked off without looking back. Sophie shook her head helplessly, turned around, and saw Wyatt Sterling standing right in front of her, looking at her with interest. "Are you Asher Land’s woman?" She didn’t know how to define being Asher Land’s woman. Almost everyone on the set thought she was, and if sleeping with him made her his woman, then she was. Sophie seemed to see contempt in Wyatt Sterling’s eyes; she didn’t know how to explain, nor did she plan to. She bypassed him, ready to leave, when Wyatt grabbed her wrist. "Tell me, is it true?" "What does it matter if it is or isn’t?" she asked casually. "I just don’t want to see you like other women, using cheap tricks to sell yourself to climb up by leaning on a man!" Wyatt Sterling said indignantly. I just don’t want to see you like other women, using cheap tricks to climb up by leaning on a man. Each word from Wyatt Sterling pierced her heart, she shook off his hand, letting out a light laugh. "I’m afraid you’re going to be disappointed. I am indeed that kind of woman you speak of." For some reason, at this moment, she felt an urge to cry; she held back the tears at the corner of her eyes and ran off before him. Wyatt Sterling stood frozen in place, not coming to his senses for quite a while. He didn’t want to believe she was that kind of woman; she definitely wasn’t. ... Sophie entered the filming area and noticed Asher Land was already seated at the monitor position.

Asher Land’s face showed displeasure because he had just learned that she would be doing an intimate scene with Wyatt Sterling? The thought of it increasingly made him uncomfortable. The director had begun clearing the set, and Sophie felt uncertain, not realizing the boldness of the scene required clearing the set. It’s okay, Sophie, it’s just acting, you’re a professional actress. She could only keep convincing herself in her heart. Not long after, Wyatt Sterling also entered the filming area, and the look in his eyes towards her had undoubtedly changed, though she couldn’t quite pinpoint what kind of change. After the director called ’action,’ the two quickly immersed themselves in their roles. This scene mainly revolves around Sophie, playing a young maid who, after numerous suppressions, decides to make a stand in the deep palace through her own efforts, and thus, she decides to entice Wyatt Sterling, who plays the crown prince. Sophie kept offering Wyatt Sterling wine, and after several cups, Wyatt showed signs of drunkenness. He suddenly wrapped Sophie in his arms and kissed her soft lips. Dammit! This woman is actually kissing another man? "Cut," Asher Land said to the director beside him, who followed Asher Land’s lead without knowing the reason, calling out ’cut.’
