Chapter 375 Provocation
I was so close to kissing her. Jethro frowned as he was unhappy.
Elspeth turned red and quickly pushed Jethro away. Calmly, she said, "I see. I shall be with you shortly."
Harper nodded and gave Jethro a look before he left.
Elspeth was just wondering whom it was that wanted to see her, but Jethro wouldn't give her the time to think. "That Harper. I swear he doesn't know how to read the room."
"Get back to work, you." Elspeth rolled her eyes and picked up her coat that was over her chair, then she left.
Well, this is boring. He stared at Elspeth as she left.
Elspeth went to the waiting room Harper told her. Through the glass door, she saw a woman sitting inside. The woman seemed gentle, and she was drinking a cup of tea with her head lowered. Elspeth entered the room with a smile. "Fancy seeing you here, Miss McGrath." She could see that Jasmine was not here for any friendly chat.
Jasmine nodded and held back her hostility. "I've been wanting to see you, Miss Lynwood. You're as gorgeous as they say."
Praise and pleasantries. They were a typical opening to a tropey banter scene. Ever since Elspeth showed up, Jasmine wouldn't stop staring at her face. She was annoyed to see that Elspeth was a bit better-looking than she was. No wonder Callum fell for her so hard.
"What brings you here, Miss McGrath?" Elspeth asked. She didn't think Jasmine was here for business.
Jasmine froze. Oh yeah. I came on a whim and didn't have any excuse. "I was passing by and thought I would say hi. You do welcome me, don't you?"
Elspeth smiled, but she was sneering inside. I thought you came to kill me. "We aren't friends, Miss McGrath." Elspeth stayed calm. She knew Jasmine had more to say.
Jasmine sat up and shot Elspeth a sharp look. "I have a few things to say."
Elspeth cocked her eyebrow. It must be related to Callum. "Do speak. I have things to do, so my time is limited."
Jasmine rubbed her cup. "I don't know why you're still trying to approach Callum, but let's make one thing clear. He's my fiancé. If you have no business with him, do not disturb him."
"You think I'm harassing him?"
