Love's perfect match novel (Elspeth and Callum) novel Chapter 392

“I don’t know you that well. Why are you greeting me?” With that said, Elspeth turned and walked away. Coincidentally, Yelena and the director walked over in the opposite direction after they were done discussing the script. Elspeth ignored the change in the woman’s expression behind her as she headed toward them with a bottle of water. “You were talking for so long just now, Yelena. You must be thirsty! Have some water,” Elspeth offered.

“Is that Jasmine, Elspeth? Do you know her?” Yelena only realized something after she finished her sentence. Jasmine is Callum’s fiancée. Of course, Elspeth knows her! Yelena hesitated for a moment before she continued with her words. “That woman is really pretentious and entitled. She thinks she can do whatever she wants just because she invested a large sum into the production of this show. The director would’ve kicked her out if she hadn’t for that. She isn’t just bad at acting; she also causes tons of other trouble. Gosh.”

Elspeth was in complete agreement with Yelena’s words. Elspeth could tell that Jasmine was just fooling around, but she couldn’t tell what Jasmine was trying to do. “I wonder what Callum likes about her. She’s not that pretty either,” Yelena muttered. Elspeth nodded agreeably—it was true that Jasmine’s looks were considered average in the entertainment industry. She wasn’t from an especially wealthy family, either—they were probably just a household with an above-average income. Elspeth, too, had no idea what Callum liked about Jasmine.

“She’s fortunate that you’re a good-tempered woman. If I were in your position, I would’ve stormed over to curse at her already,” Yelena grumbled. “What is there to get mad about? You’re a lady, yet all you talk about is picking fights with others.” Elspeth chuckled as she flicked the tip of Yelena’s nose playfully.

Yelena waved Elspeth off before speaking in a whiny tone. “Hey, you have been too busy to spend time with me recently. I’m free tonight. Why don’t we go for a meal?” she asked. Elspeth rolled her eyes. “Didn’t Max ask you out?” Elspeth asked.

Yelena felt rage building in her upon the mention of Max’s name. “Stop bringing him up. I’m sick of staring at his face all the time. Furthermore, he has been too busy for me, and he keeps claiming that he’s occupied whenever I text him. I’ve no idea what he’s up to.”

Elspeth was certain that Max would never do anything to hurt Yelena, but Elspeth couldn’t help but tease Yelena. “Maybe he found another woman outside.”

“Yeah, that was what I was thinking about!” Yelena pressed her palms against her cheeks as she pouted. “We were supposed to celebrate our 100th day a few days ago, but he was too busy, so he only bought me a gift. He didn’t even spend time with me! While I had requested a day off work just for that!” she cried.

“That’s bad…” Elspeth was confused. Are all men from the Winthrop Family equally unreliable? “Alright, alright. Let’s stop talking about him.” Yelena glanced at the clock. “I have another two scenes after this. Could you wait for me here? I’ll be back really soon.” Someone called out for Yelena right after she finished her sentence, so she shouted back and hurried over.

Elspeth got bored after sitting around for a while, so she decided that she would go over to watch Yelena’s filming. They were filming a scene between the lead and supporting female characters right then. The show was set in the olden days, and the plot was about rivalry within a family. The lead female character was depicted as a sweet and thoughtful girl who was perceived as a helpless and weak figure in the household.

The lead female’s gentle personality placed her in a situation where she was vulnerable to being bullied by the supporting female character, who was a mistress in the same family. The scene they were filming involved the supporting female character slapping the lead on her face before the lead was pushed into the river.

It was autumn then, so the weather was rather chilly. Elspeth had a bad feeling about the scene as she watched it unfold. Jasmine spread her lips into a gentle smile as she looked at Yelena. “I apologize if I go too hard on you—I’m not that good at controlling my strength. You should tell me if I’m hurting you,” Jasmine uttered.

“It’s fine,” Yelena replied with a straight face. Despite appearing calm on the outside, Yelena felt rather anxious deep down. She had noticed the malice in Jasmine’s gaze, and she wasn’t sure what was running through Jasmine’s mind. “Action!” The actresses got into their roles once the director shouted for the filming to start. They went along with the script at first, where they were supposed to have an argument.

Jasmine spread her lips into an evil smirk. “I’m warning you now—you should stay away from Goliath.”

“I’m his first wife, and it seems like you’ve overstepped some boundaries.” Yelena held her head up, but she seemed rather comical as she wore a meek expression on her face.
