Love's Perfect Match

Chapter 23 Is Elspeth a Playgirl?

Callum answered in his cold voice, “Well, I’m giving priority to company matters. Is there a problem with that?”

Having been rejected again, Ophelia bit her lip and stayed quiet.

After she left, Elspeth watched her crying figure and could not help laughing. “Are you sure you’re going to hurt your childhood sweetheart like that? She seems to be crying quite miserably.”

Callum gave her a sideways glance and ordered, “Look at the plan.”

Chuckling, she said, “Looks like Edmund was right. You are an inconsiderate workaholic.”

Instead of answering her, he lowered his head and looked at the plan. The sun’s rays shone down on his face, and through the vague reflection, Elspeth could see that his pupils were as deep as the blackhole.

When the two finished revising their plan, it was already 3.00PM and Elspeth’s tummy just happened to rumble at an inappropriate time. With a raised brow, Callum offered, “Let’s go. We’ll have something nice.”

They tidied up and coincidentally bumped into Ophelia on their way out of the building before Elspeth smiled at her.

At this point, Ophelia’s already puffy eyes reddened even more as she ran inside while wiping her tears. The small incident did not affect their mood as Callum brought Elspeth to a noodle shack he frequented and ordered two bowls of ramen.

While biting the end of her fork, Elspeth giggled. “I didn’t expect the oldest young master of the Winthrop Family would enjoy this sort of delicacy.”

Although Callum was slurping noodles, his actions remained elegant as ever. He ate a mouthful of noodles and asked, “What do you think I eat on a daily basis? Steaks? Caviar? Lobsters?”

“I just didn’t expect that you’d enjoy such hearty meals.” Elspeth’s smile became even more unrestrained, but she suddenly looked at him with bright eyes while stating, “But… I like them too. Although I’d eat them almost every day, I still think that no food can compare to the noodles my dad made.”
