Noble Pampering: Demon CEO's Relentless Entanglement-Chapter 927 - 923: You Sure Stripped Quickly Just Now

Daniel Hughes, young as he was, exuded an aura of fearlessness toward Asher Land.

He grew impatient seeing Sophie Smith dawdling here.

"Miss Smith, it’s just a film shoot; what’s there to be so nervous about?"

Even though Daniel’s words seemed righteous, it was obvious to anyone that his true intention was to take advantage of Sophie, using the bed scene as a pretext.

As he spoke, Daniel shamelessly took off his black T-shirt, throwing it aside, exposing his bare chest.

After removing his shirt, he started to undo the belt of his jeans,...

Sophie’s unease grew more intense.

"Wait a minute..."

Feeling flushed, Sophie walked up to the director, "I—I request a closed set."

A closed set?

There were already as few people as possible.

The director, the lighting technician, the photographer, Daniel—essential personnel—aside from clearing the assistants away, there was still Asher Land.

But, damn it, who would dare say such a thing to Asher Land?

The director shook his head, showing an expression that said he couldn’t help her.

Sophie steeled herself; whatever happens, happens.

Her small hand slowly loosened, and everyone present seemed to widen their eyes in that moment, eager to glimpse the allure beneath the bath towel.

Sophie closed her eyes tightly, released her hand, and the towel slipped down her body.

A gasp rang out from the crowd.

Sophie kept her eyes shut, too scared to open them.

"What’s going on, why are the lights out?"

"Someone turn on the switch."

"..."

Through the noise, Sophie opened her eyes in confusion, realizing the room was pitch black, a darkness that swallowed everything.

She fumbled around for a while until she finally found her fallen bath towel, hastily wrapping it around herself.

Someone had already felt their way toward the light switch in the dark, ready to turn it on when a voice lashed out.

"Get out, all of you!"

It was Asher Land, his voice chilling to the bone.

The room plunged into an eerily still silence.

"Are you all deaf?" With cold indifference, someone in the room snapped out of their trance first.

"President Land told us to leave, hurry up..."

With mutterings and rustling sounds, people moved in the dark.

Probably after two minutes or so, it seemed most had left, Sophie figured it was time for her to leave the room too; otherwise, being alone with Asher Land, he certainly wouldn’t spare her.

She treaded cautiously barefoot toward the door. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Just a step out, the man in the dark seemed to have eagle eyes; with a ’bang,’ he slammed the door shut, followed by the lights flaring on.

Momentarily adjusted to the darkness, the sudden brightness in the room felt dazzling.

In reflex, she raised a hand to shield her eyes.

She knew, in this room, it was just her and Asher Land now.

She kept her hand covering her face, refusing to put it down.

Because she truly did not want to face Asher Land.

"Think covering your face will spare you the embarrassment? You were rather quick in stripping earlier, weren’t you?" His words carried a mocking tone.

"Why are you meddling?" Sophie felt ire from his tone and lowered her hand, grabbing the towel tightly, as she looked up at him.

"Had it not been for your interference, President Land, I might have finished filming by now."
