Love's Perfect Match

Chapter 244

tonight.”To that, Eric grunted in response, his face sullen.I swear, this man can’t get any pettier! What? Is no one else allowed to touch her?!As they walked, a thought struck Elspeth. “Callum, did you write on the tag used to ask for love?” she inquired.“Yes.”“What have you written?”“It’s a secret,” Callum smirked, stirring the young woman’s curiosity. “Tell me, or I’ll go back to the abbey and read it myself.”While speaking, she pretended as though she would head back up the mountain.“Go on, then. We’ve just descended halfway down the mountain. You might even get to stay in the abbey overnight if you go back up there now.” Instead of dissuading Elspeth, the man taunted her.At that, Elspeth snorted indignantly. “You’re unbelievable. I can’t believe you won’t even tell me this.”“I’ll jinx it if I say it. What about you? What did you write?”Callum’s counter stumped the young woman for a moment. “J-Just something simple and general like peace and happiness.”Callum would never know that she had written two tags and hung each one at a different place.As for the other one… Hmph, there’s no way I’ll tell you!“Mine’s simple too, very much like yours.”Just like that, the young woman’s curiosity was laid to rest. “Okay, I’m not curious anymore. Let’s hurry back.”Since the rain at the foothills had just stopped, the weather was still cooling, so the road down the mountain wasn’t too tiring.The two had to return to filming, and Eric insisted on following.“We’re going to shoot a kissing scene next. Can you take it?” Elspeth joshed, leading Eric to huff in response as he said, “That, you don’t have to worry about.”In the end, the three headed to the production site, and when they arrived, the director was directing Yelena, who immediately went up to Elspeth upon seeing her. “You’re back, Miss Lynwood. You should go and get ready. We’ll be filming in just a bit.”To that, Elspeth nodded and headed to the dressing room with the clothes the director had handed her.Just as she took her clothes off and picked up the school uniform, she immediately sensed something amiss.It was very light—so light that it wasn’t right.As such, she checked the outfit thoroughly to find that most of the fabric had been snipped away; even the plaid shirt to be worn on the inside became low-cut.With that, Elspeth reached for her clothes only to discover that they were gone.Someone is f*cking with me, aren’t they?She calmed her mind at once. There were no other clothes available in the dressing room other than the shredded uniform in her hands.Time ticked away, and her jewels would be on display if Callum hadn’t come to get her.Meanwhile, outside, a little-known actress suddenly shouted, “My bracelet is missing!”Losing an item wasn’t the end of the world, and the director would be willing to get a replacement to rest the case if the lost item wasn’t too valuable or expensive.“It was a gift from my maternal grandmother, though. It means a lot to me. I have to find the bracelet!” The director frowned in response. “We’re going to shoot the scene soon. It can wait until after filming.”“But I really need to find it. It’s something my grandmother left me. Please, I beg you—help me find it!” bawled the actress, on the verge of passing out.“Alright, alright, cut it out. I’ll help you find it,” the director agreed
