Love's perfect match novel (Elspeth and Callum) novel Chapter 42

Chapter 42 Debunking

Elspeth tapped her chin and pondered aloud, “So, are you trying to rope me in?”

“Haha!” Houston laughed. “You never let me down.” He took his business card, placed it on the table, and slowly pushed it toward her.

“Miss Lynwood, I admire your ability and think you should not be limited to just the title of a director. Isn’t it nice if you could have the title ‘Vice President’ printed on your card?”

Houston left, and Elspeth was left alone in her thoughts.

Vice President… Houston is so greedy. He is eyeing the position of president.

When she returned home at night, everyone had gone to bed except Callum, who was sitting alone in the living room reading documents. She stretched her body lazily, sat next to him, and asked, “How’s your hand?”

“It’s fine,” he answered dispassionately, but his hand that was flipping through the pages paused for a moment.

She didn’t believe him and wanted to look at his hand for herself, but he dodged her.

“Just let me see it,” she muttered.

He quickly changed the subject. “What did Houston say to you today?”

She leaned back on the couch and curled her lips into a smirk. “What do you think?”

“To rope you in.”

Elspeth rolled her eyes and pouted. “How boring.”

Callum ignored her reaction and asked solemnly, “What are you planning to do?”

“What am I planning?” Elspeth looked at his eyes and smirked in amusement. “I’m gonna accept his offer, of course! He promised to make me the vice president. Only a fool would reject such a lucrative deal.”

He remained indifferent and calm. It was apparent that he did not believe her at all. “Why are you telling me this then? Aren’t you afraid that I will know your plan?”

“Callum, drop your act, okay?” She yawned lazily. “Just tell me your plan.”

He raised an eyebrow, not expecting her to react so quickly. “Take the deal.”

“Why?”

“Beat them at their own game.” Callum had his own plan in place.

Elspeth was intrigued. “Tell me how.”

“Promise to work with him and collect evidence. I will replace his pawns in the company, and then I will wipe them all out.”

Elspeth chuckled. “So, you did notice that there are many new and unfamiliar staff in the office. I thought you only focus on your work and don’t recognize your own employees at all.”

He narrowed his eyes and dismissed her, “Alright. Go to rest now. We will have another fierce battle in the next few days.”

She nodded, stood up, and walked upstairs.

“Elspeth,” Callum suddenly called her.

She paused, turned around, and looked at him cheekily, “What?”

“You’re really interesting.”

Elspeth seemed to excel in all aspects and was unpredictable. He would never know what surprise she would create in the next second.

All in all, she was fascinating.
