"Sophie Smith, if President Land is looking for you, then you should go."
Eva Miller felt a sense of apprehension towards Asher Land. He seemed to have a bad temper and was very aloof. She really couldn't understand why Sophie Smith could stay by his side for so long.
Eva Miller was afraid Asher Land might take his anger out on Sophie, so she kept urging her to go meet him. With no other choice, she complied.
Reality is cruel in the end. When would she be able to stop following his orders? She realized that the longer she stayed, the stronger her subservient nature became. She always felt like she was completely at his mercy.
When she reached the apartment, she remembered one thing—the keys to the apartment weren't on her.
Frustrated, she kicked the door, as if venting her dissatisfaction towards Asher Land.
She contemplated another kick, but suddenly the door opened, and her foot awkwardly hung in mid-air.
Turns out Asher Land had arrived earlier than she did.
