Love's Perfect Match

Chapter 124

Did the call that went on the air and was hung up in an instant woke him up? If that were the case, it meant that

Callum was genuinely careful and considerate…

Pfft! Caring, my butt!

“I’m glad you’re okay.”

Looking at Callum’s face, Elspeth suddenly had an idea. “Callum.”

Her clear voice swiftly pulled his gaze to her.

He didn’t say anything as he gazed at her, but his heart was already thundering away.

This was the first time in forever that she took the initiative to start a conversation with him.

Blake offended the director because of me. Things may get difficult in the future.” Her eyes sparkled. “Hence, that

is why I would like to ask you for a favor.”

“Tell me. What is it?”

Elspeth let out a sly grin. “You’re a wealthy and generous man, Mr. Winthrop. Surely you have a few million you can

spare, right?”

Being the smart person that Callum was, he immediately understood what she meant. “Why? Do you want me to

pay for Blake’s liquidated damages?”

“A-ha! What a coincidence. Great minds do think alike.”

“What are you going to do after that, though?” His quirked brows were enough to show how much he wanted to

probe. “Are you going to let Blake be a vagrant?”

Naturally, she was confident enough to reassure him. “I have other ideas, of course. I want Blake to sign with

Luminous instead. You don’t have to worry about this. I can help Blake with the arrangement. But before that, you

need to help Blake with his so-called redemption.”

“Luminous? Are you talking about the company that has produced countless movie stars?”

Whenever there were nominations for awards, Luminous Entertainment would always have the largest number of

artists nominated.

Callum couldn’t help cheering up as he looked at her. He knew that a corner of her long-frozen heart had begun to

melt.

“Sure, but I need you to agree to one condition.” Callum’s tone grew solemn as he stated his intention. “I want you

to come back to the Winthrop Group. Also, you have to move back to the Winthrop Residence today.”

Blake, who was beside them, was the first to voice his disapproval. “No can do, Callum. Elspeth is my manager. How

can you tell her to return to the Winthrop Group? What am I supposed to do if she’s gone?”.

Callum’s cold gaze swiftly darted in his direction. “You’re near unemployment. Do you want Elspeth to starve with

you?”

He would never allow Elspeth to have anything to do with Blake after this.

Blake immediately shrank back and shut his mouth when he was reprimanded.

“Today?”

Elspeth noticed how Callum was the type of person to take a mile when given an inch. Not only was he forcing her,

but he was also making decisions for her concerning her time.

Il terminate Blake’s contract when you move back to the Winthrop Residence.”

A few million was neither too big nor too small an amount. Callum could just treat it as the price for a lesson

learned.

“Alright. I’ll move soon. Just let me pack up before I go.”

He casually replied, “You don’t have to pack. There’s everything you need in the Winthrop Residence.”

“I still need to bring all my clothes!”

“It’s alright. I’ll get you new clothes.”

Saying that he was eager to bring her home was an understatement.

“As wealthy and generous as you may be, there is no need for you to spend money this way.”

Upon seeing this, Callum no longer insisted and only nonchalantly offered, “I’ll send you back so that you can start

packing.”

“You should go home, Blake. We’ll go back to the Winthrop Residence after-Elspeth is done packing up.”

Not wanting to let them spend time alone together, Callum took the chance to separate them.

Although Blake wasn’t entirely pleased about it, he knew he didn’t have what it took to snatch Elspeth. And so, he

could only nod and return to the Winthrop Residence obediently.

“Why are you sitting so far away from me? Scared that I’ll eat you up?”

Callum held the steering wheel without looking to the side, but his words immediately embarrassed her.

She was the one who wanted a break, yet she was also the one who took the initiative to reach out. Callum must

think that I’m a joke, she cringed.

At the thought of that, she turned her head to look at the scenery that was moving past them like a slideshow

outside. Still, she didn’t stop quibbling. Im not far from you,” she said.

“You’re practically stuck to the window. Or are you wiping the window for me?”

She could only scoot backward a little when she couldn’t answer him.

“Why do you care so much about Blake?”

She had helped Blake a lot and even took the first step to be his friend.

Just the thought of how she took the initiative to talk to Callum for Blake’s sake put him in a bad mood for some

reason.

He regretted agreeing to help her.

“That’s because Blake saved my life, and he’s helped me too much. Wouldn’t you be grateful if you were in my

shoes?”

Elspeth couldn’t help but think that Callum’s intelligence and wit seemed to be muddled by love. He showed no

signs of intelligence at all.

“Is it only gratitude?” He gripped the steering wheel tighter as he asked in a tone that was neither serious nor

lighthearted.

“What do you think? Do you think that I have a crush on him because he saved me, and I want to marry him or

something?” After throwing out all this nonsense, she rolled her eyes. “You think this is a romantic movie, don’t

you? You think I fall for everyone.”

The corners of Callum’s lips curled upward when he caught the meaning behind her words. “Are you saying that I’m

the one you have feelings for?”

The moment he found the loophole in her words, the shy Elspeth turned as red as a ripe tomato.

“Nol-I didn’t say that!”

“I’m surprised that you’re the type of person who does not own up to what you say.”

“Don’t maka ma hii ime Callum Winthenal” Cha throw him the manneet alaca cha could muntar hut ha thauahı

“Alright.” Callum swiftly changed the topic. “Come with me to the Winthrop Group.”

At that, Elspeth suppressed her anger and looked at him with stubborn eyes. “I won’t go back. I don’t mind the

Winthrop Residence, but I refuse to go back to the Winthrop Group.”

“Why not? Does it have something to do with the position of the Design Department’s director?”

Callum didn’t know why she was angry, and he unknowingly uttered those huntful words.

“What’s my refusal to go back to the company got to do with the position?” She sneered. “Do I have to willingly stay

as your obedient secretary who follows you around every day and listens to your orders?”

Elspeth didn’t know what Callum wanted. She was sure that he wanted her to take over as a secretary.

After she asked that, she added mockingly, “I wouldn’t fight over the position with the newbie, Mr. Winthrop.”

Callum finally understood after the various twists and turns. He took a deep breath before asking, “Will you come

back if I give you the position of vice president?”

Never mind being his secretary, she wouldn’t go back even if he reappointed her as the director of the Design

Department.

Hold up. She stopped her train of thought. Vice president?
