CHAPTER 223: CHAPTER 222: HIS WOMAN MUST BE BY HIS SIDE (5)

"Of course." Asher Land’s handsome eyes stared directly at John. Even though John was a man, he didn’t know why he suddenly slowed down a beat after seeing Asher Land’s gaze.

Although Sophie Smith found sitting by and watching men talk business a bit dull, she never let her guard down for a moment. She maintained her ladylike posture and generous smile. Upon careful thought, she realized she did care about Asher Land’s image, after all, she was his companion right now.

She remembered the first time she accompanied him for social events, she had directly given him a stern face.

Asher Land and John were talking enthusiastically, and Sophie thought, for them, this should be a very pleasant collaboration, right?

"Mr. Smith, I have a small proposal. I wonder if you could consider it?" Asher Land took a light sip of the red wine in his glass and said unhurriedly.

"President Land, please go ahead."

"I know you have always had significant cooperation with Hush Sky Group, but what I want to say is that what Hush Sky has, Golden Era also has. The price you get from Hush Sky for goods, Golden Era is willing to lower for you by 10%."

Sophie raised her head in surprise. When the two were conversing in English at first, she didn’t pay much attention to their topics, but she clearly heard the words ’Hush Sky’ just now.

Isn’t Hush Sky Group Oliver Johnson’s company?

Why would Asher Land want to snatch customers from Hush Sky Group? With him personally involved, there was sure to be nothing that couldn’t be accomplished.

John was initially taken aback, then came to his senses.

"But, President Land, our company has always had major collaborations with Hush Sky Group, this sudden change might..."

"Mr. Smith, you are a businessman. Surely you understand a businessman’s principles, don’t you?"

Golden Era is already powerful, with a vast business empire, it is definitely the best partner in the business field. Besides, Asher Land is willing to unconditionally lower the export price for John’s products by 10%, which is definitely not a small amount. Any smart person would know how to choose.

Sure enough, a few seconds later, John nodded in agreement.

"President Land is right. In business, one must follow the principles of a businessman."

John raised his glass, "To a pleasant cooperation."

Asher Land curved his lips and raised his glass.

The two continued to chat, but what they talked about later had nothing to do with business.

John’s gaze suddenly fell on Sophie Smith. Sophie straightened up and accepted John’s scrutiny.

Yes, scrutiny.

John felt it was inappropriate to rudely stare at a woman, so he withdrew his gaze and quietly apologized to her.

"Mr. Smith seems interested in my woman?" Asher Land said with a faint smile.

"President Land, I have the intention but not the courage," John shook his head, "How could I dare to covet your woman?"

For some reason, the topic between the two went to her.

Indeed, in John’s eyes, Sophie Smith truly possessed an extraordinary beauty. To say he wasn’t moved would definitely be a lie.

Although he said he ’didn’t dare to covet,’ he didn’t know how important Sophie was in Asher Land’s heart. Generally speaking, for someone like Asher Land, a woman shouldn’t be that important, right?

Asher Land said nothing more, just drank his wine while casually placing his hand on Sophie’s shoulder next to him.

In fact, John felt a slight disappointment in his heart. He was waiting for Asher Land to relent, as if he would agree to hand over the woman next to him...

This would undoubtedly be the best way to enhance their cooperative relationship, right?

But in the end, regarding the topic John was hoping for, Asher Land said nothing at all.
