Love's perfect match novel (Elspeth and Callum) novel Chapter 363

He said he doesn’t want to see me anymore.

Elspeth felt her heart twisting, as though someone was grabbing it.

Despite that, she still lifted her chin defiantly and solemnly said, “I don’t care what you think of me, but I hope you’ll consider saving my company. If my company fails, yours will be next. I’m sure you understand that, Mr. Winthrop.”

She was right. The Winthrop Group and the Azure Corporation were the most powerful companies in Damoria. It could even be said that the Azure Corporation had greater potential than the others.

Once the Azure Corporation was gone for good, the other one would be targeted by their opponents as well.

“I know.” Callum stared fixedly at Elspeth, his emotions undulating in his heart. She knows she can’t persuade me to save her company by using our relationship, and now she starts talking business. That’s typical of her.

“Since you’ve said so, I’ll stop bothering you.” A hint of disappointment flashed across Elspeth’s eyes.

She didn’t have a way to persuade Callum, for the man was obstinate. Regardless of what she said, he just wouldn’t give her a hand.

It seemed that he was determined to let the Azure Corporation fail.

Having nothing else to say, Elspeth turned around and left, looking desolate.

Unbeknownst to her, Callum was watching her leave with a gaze that was as dark as ink.

…

Now that Callum had turned her down, Elspeth decided to return to her company. Harper had been waiting for her. When he saw her dejected expression, he knew what happened.

“He’s not willing to help me, Harper.”

Elspeth seemed to have used up all her energy to utter those words, as though she would pass away the next moment.

Harper was heartbroken to see her like this, but he had no idea what he could say to console her.

“It’s fine. We’ll get through this.”

He emphasized the word we.

Elspeth knew he was only trying to console her, so she forced a smile. “I’m alright. Don’t worry. I’ll try to come up with a solution.”

Since then, Elspeth spent most of the time at the company, but the situation was only getting worse by the day. Around 30 percent of the employees had quit their jobs, and 30 percent of the remaining ones were still complaining.

Most of them were no longer in the mood to work. The company’s prospects were bleak.

A managers’ meeting was held on this day. Elspeth was seated at the front, looking exhausted.

When the others saw her like this, they didn’t dare say anything.

Only one man named Denton Page, who was one of the managers, stared at Elspeth and barked, “Miss Lynwood, you told us you had a way to save the company the other day. How’s the progress so far?”

Elspeth wanted to explain something, but she realized she couldn’t come up with an excuse at all.

Given her situation, it was practically impossible for her to save the company.

“I’m sorry. The solution I’d mentioned didn’t work.”

When they heard that, those who had remained silent earlier started complaining.

“Huh? Didn’t you say you could solve the crisis?”

“Yeah. Why did you keep hiding it from us? You should’ve told us earlier!”

“If Mr. Page never asked you, we wouldn’t have found out that the company is going bankrupt soon.”

“Miss Lynwood, please tell us the truth. Are we going out of business? If that’s the case, we have to get prepared sooner.”

Their words hurt Elspeth deeply.

She secretly balled up her fists, but she still pretended to be calm and collected.

“We’re not running out of business. I’ll come up with another solution.”

“Tell us about your plan, then!”

Elspeth lowered her gaze. “I don’t have a good plan for now.”
