Love's perfect match novel (Elspeth and Callum) novel Chapter 57

Chapter 57 Max Plagiarized

Mr. Lou suddenly became interested as he asked, “What’s your grandfather’s name?”

“Hunter James.”

Hearing that name, Mr. Lou instantly felt a bolt from the blue. Gradually, his eyes turned moist. “I can’t believe you are Hunter’s granddaughter. Your grandfather and I were close friends! But…”

He couldn’t help pulling Elspeth’s hands and sighing. “I can’t believe you are Azure Corporation’s president. You are so successful at such a young age. I believe Hunter will be able to rest in peace in the afterworld.”

“Mr. Lou, about the collaboration…” Elspeth asked tentatively, but before she could finish her sentence, Mr. Lou interrupted her, “There’s no need to mention this cooperation anymore. Even if there are future projects in store, I would continue cooperating with Azure Corporation!”

After hearing that, his assistant widened his eyes. “Mr. Lou, you can’t say that… Some of our cooperation depends on the ability of the partner!”

Mr. Lou was infuriated as he glared at his assistant. “What? Do you think Elspeth is not capable enough, or are you questioning an old man’s vision?”

The assistant lowered his head in fright and stopped talking.

Elspeth smiled after hearing that. “Thank you, Mr. Lou.”

“Don’t worry about it. Feel free to visit Lou Residence when you have time. You really did inherit your grandpa’s temperament…”

Mr. Lou then chatted with Elspeth for a long time until the sky turned dark. Only then did he reluctantly let her go.

Elspeth originally thought that it would take a long time to solve the matter, but eventually, she successfully completed the task after a meeting. Now that Azure Corporation’s crisis was resolved and they even gained a strong and solid supporter, Elspeth suddenly felt relieved. Right now, she should return to Winthrop Group to resume work, but when she thought of what Callum said to her that day, she no longer wanted to return to the company.

Callum should have gotten back together with his first love, and the two must be in a fiery session right now. If she were to go home, it wouldn’t seem appropriate, and she would only be a buzzkill.

Just as she was contemplating whether to go home, a phone call came. “Elsie, it’s Max. Where have you been these few days? Why haven’t you come back?”

Elspeth was taken aback by his question and was about to explain when Callum’s familiar voice sounded from the other end of the phone.

“Max, why are you not studying yet? You have an exam the day after tomorrow. Don’t you know that?”

Max replied pitifully, “I know, I know. I’m asking Elsie for help, Callum. One of her majors was marketing. She can definitely help me out with revision.”

“Look at you cramming everything at the last minute and refusing to study early on. You deserve to fail.”

Though Callum’s words were harsh, he was speaking the truth.

Shrugging, Max continued asking on the phone, “When will you be back, Elsie? I can’t do this anymore. I’ve been busy playing games this whole semester. I don’t even know what they taught in school.”

When Elspeth heard Callum’s voice, she was ready to hang up the phone, but hearing Max’s pitiful cry, she couldn’t bear to reject him. “Okay. I’ll be back by tomorrow morning.”

A smile immediately bloomed on Max’s face. “Got it. Thank you, Elsie!”

Elspeth hummed and hung up the phone.

The next day, Elspeth returned to Winthrop Residence as promised. At that time, Max hadn’t woken up yet. On the other hand, Callum was having breakfast in the dining room by himself.

“Oh? I thought you had forgotten where home is.” While having breakfast leisurely, he didn’t forget to make sarcastic remarks. His words triggered the waves that had calmed down in Elspeth’s heart.
