Love's perfect match novel (Elspeth and Callum) novel Chapter 55

Chapter 55 Elspeth Is Tempted

After realizing who it might be, Elspeth went back to the hotel and knocked on Callum’s door. “Callum, I have something to talk to you about.”

Before Elspeth could finish what she wanted to say, she was interrupted by Callum’s cold voice. “I’m in the middle of something now. I don’t have time.”

Noticing that Callum was currently not in a good mood, Elspeth stopped talking and kept quiet.

The two were in a stalemate at the door for a while before Callum realized that his tone was a bit harsh. Just as he was about to speak to ease the situation, he received a call.

Callum answered the phone and Arthur’s voice sounded on the other end. “Callum, Emma is back.” Those three words were like a stone being thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples in Callum’s already silent heart.

Arthur and Emma were from the same department in college, so they were pretty close. Arthur wouldn’t be lying to him. Without giving it another thought, Callum subconsciously blurted, “Where is she? Tell me.”

Since the surrounding was quiet, Elspeth could hear their conversation loud and clear.

Emma, his first love whom he liked for years, was back?

It seemed that what Arthur said was true. Callum couldn’t forget her.

“She’ll only be back for a short while this time. She’ll be leaving for Eden tomorrow morning.”

Arthur’s intentions were obvious. If Emma was taking the plane back tomorrow morning, Arthur was implying that it wasn’t too late for Callum to see her if he left now.

Callum hummed and replied, “I’ll be back later.”

After hanging up the phone, Callum lowered his head and suddenly saw Elspeth’s dazed expression.

His heart clenched unexpectedly.

“I…”

“What about the collaboration? Are we still going to discuss it?” Elspeth questioned after taking a deep breath.

Callum’s gaze gradually turned dark. “Let’s give up on the collaboration for now.”

“Cooperating with NK Group will bring a huge profit for Winthrop Group. Do you really want to give up?” Elspeth questioned in a deep voice, feeling bitter.

From what she knew about Callum, he was someone who cared deeply about the interests of the company.

“I have something urgent coming up, so let’s cancel it for now.”

“Something urgent? Your urgent matter is to go back and see her. Callum, I can still negotiate the cooperation without you. Feel free to leave.”

Callum frowned. “It’s not what you think.”

“Whatever. That’s your business.” After Elspeth finished speaking, she didn’t bother to listen to his explanation before turning around and leaving without looking back.

Callum’s eyes dimmed a little. He resisted the thought of catching up to her and left the hotel anyway.

After returning to her room, Elspeth felt a ball of anger forming within her. Just then, Harper called. Elspeth answered the call, sounding displeased.

“What’s up?”

Hearing her tone, Harper was taken aback and inquired, “What’s wrong, Elsie?”
