Love's Perfect Match

Chapter 84

Callum answered coldly, “I’m not hungry. You go ahead.”

Noticing that he was in a bad mood, Ophelia realized her overstay would only make the situation worse. Thus, she rose to her feet and left the room in a hurry.

After she departed, silence fell in the room in a split second.

Taking out his phone, Callum involuntarily dialed Elspeth’s number.

To his surprise, the number he tried to call had been disconnected.

He had a hard time digesting the fact as his heart gave him a lurch.

At that moment, he was over with the thoughts that kept troubling him. After calling Arthur over to temporarily watch over their mother, Callum drove to the company.

On a typical day, Elspeth would have arrived at the company around this time and gotten ready for work.

However, just as he arrived at the company, he received a call from the HR Department.

“Mr. Winthrop, Miss Lynwood just called. She is quitting her job. She also explained that she has emailed you the resignation letter.”

Callum followed the words and opened his email. He wasn’t surprised to find an unread mail in his inbox. The letter was written in a formal and serious tone, leaving no room for argument.

She was determined to vanish from his life.

After that, Callum called Harper. As expected, Harper answered the phone impatiently, “Mr. Winthrop, are you calling for a discussion about the collaboration project between Azure Corporation and Winthrop Group next quarter?”

Callum answered with a low voice, “It’s not about that. Do you perhaps know where Elspeth is?”

“Elspeth?” Harper snorted. “Mr. Winthrop, you guys live together, don’t you? How come you ask me about her? I’m afraid I can’t help you with that. I’m not her bodyguard, you know.”
