Love's perfect match novel (Elspeth and Callum) novel Chapter 450

Although Callum made it sound so easy, she knew that dismissing Jethro would be quite a difficult task to complete.

It was not to say that Elspeth had a deep relationship with him. Rather, it was because the benefits he brought to the company were undeniably the greatest.

What's more, it had not been easy for her to obtain him from the clutches of the Wilstone Family. It would be a huge loss for her if she dismissed him so easily.

She was wavering over the decision of whether she should try to de-escalate the situation when Callum added, "The Winthrop Group will compensate you for any losses."

"Mr. Winthrop, you are generous indeed. But, are you sure that behavior is appropriate?"

She had known that he would not allow her to suffer any losses from the situation, but his money would eventually become hers. More importantly, the money he gave her as compensation would never be as satisfying as the money she earned for herself…

Callum's eyes never left her face, so naturally, he caught sight of the abrupt change of expression on her face. So, he immediately understood what she was thinking. "I will compensate you twice the amount."

She laughed and reluctantly agreed. "I guess I have to accept your request since you're being so sincere, Mr. Winthrop."

When he heard her agree to his request, his expression finally became gentler. "It's Thursday today. Logically speaking, you should have gone to work by now. I'll send you there."

She had been so focused on dealing with Jethro that she had nearly forgotten about the fact that she had work today. "Okay."

He could be her chauffeur for the day.

The company was located nearby, so they quickly arrived at their destination.

As soon as Elspeth walked through the door, she saw Harper walking toward her with a stern expression.

"What's wrong? Did something happen? Why do you look so upset?"

It was rare for her to see such a gloomy expression on his face.

"Elsie." Harper was frowning slightly. Although his expression changed several times, his overall expression seemed to express a look of conflict. "Jethro resigned."

Her voluntarily dismissing Jethro was a completely different concept from Jethro resigning from his position himself. Elspeth finally understood the reason for the ominous feeling that had struck her this morning.

"It's fine. Let him resign if he wants. Has he left?"

"Yeah."

"It's no big deal. Find new resources to fill the vacancy immediately."

Those words sounded as though she planned for this very scenario in advance, but why would she even entertain the idea of dismissing a cash cow like Jethro?

Harper was greatly puzzled until he noticed Callum, who was sauntering behind Elspeth. Callum’s appearance answered all the doubts in his mind instantly.

It's definitely that man again. I'm sure he is affecting Elsie's ability to earn money.

He rolled his eyes and gave Callum an annoyed glare. Then, he finally shook his head and left.

Callum scowled. "What's up with him?"

Elspeth had worked with Harper for a long time. So, she naturally understood what he was thinking at this moment. Nonetheless, she would never tell Callum about those thoughts. Otherwise, she would have to face another round of torture.

"He might be having a bad day today, and everybody just annoys him when he's in a mood. It's fine, don't worry about him. Let's head to the office."

After she said that, she dragged Callum into the office without giving him the chance to resist.

Alas, when she pushed the office door open, she was greeted with a familiar figure lounging inside the office.
