Love's perfect match novel (Elspeth and Callum) novel Chapter 385

"You're mad." Elspeth thought that was a joke. Why does he think he can do that?

"You can think so if you like." Arthur stared at her solemnly. "I'll make you come back to me."

She frowned and tried to leave, but, to her dismay, the door was locked.

"We're not done yet. Don't leave." Arthur's gaze turned dark.

"I have no time to waste here," she snapped coldly. She had no patience for him.

"What if I said I have news about your mother and Isabel? Would you like to talk, then?"

Elspeth froze upon hearing that, and the man noticed that. "See? I can always make you stay just by mentioning them, no matter what."

She curled her fingers up, determination filling her eyes. Slowly, she hissed, "You sc*m!"

"You'd better do as I say, or I can't promise I won't hurt them." Arthur looked at her.

"Then, tell me what you know about them." Elspeth didn't believe him. She knew it wasn't as simple as he was making it out to be.

He looked away. "It's been a month since you came back. And you still haven't found them?"

"Cut the crap. I know you know nothing about them." She sneered. Not even my intelligence network knows where they are, and my people know a lot more than yours. You can't trick me.

"Sometimes, a woman should pretend to be stupid, you know."

Finally, Elspeth found the unlock mechanism, and she gave Arthur one tight slap. "You disgust me, Arthur!"

While he was still stunned, she quickly made her escape. The man stared at her, fury filling his eyes. One day, I will make you fall for me, you arrogant wench.

…

Elspeth came back to her office only to see Jethro there.

The man fiddled with his phone as he remarked sarcastically, "I was wondering why you haven't sent us the video. So, you were meeting up with a guy."

"You saw it?"

She went around him and took a seat, and then Jethro pointed his head at her computer. "You didn't turn it off. I saw the email."

Elspeth blushed. The email Arthur sent her contained nothing but threats and a demand for her to meet him.

Just when she was about to say something, Jethro stood up suddenly and leaned toward her, his gaze fixed on her. "Why didn't you tell me that someone was threatening you?"

She froze at his words, feeling a bit bewildered. "Why should I tell you?"
