Love's Perfect Match

Chapter 261

is it?”Yelena had been cooped up in the office these days, not knowing what was going on with Elspeth.“Do you remember the framing incident from last time?”Indeed, she would not be able to forget that, so she nodded vigorously. “Of course, I remember. Wasn’t it resolved already? Wait, don’t tell me Emma Walker, that two-faced, is causing trouble again?”Elspeth shook her head. “No, it’s that you promised the people something with Max. You should follow through with it.”What did I promise?Her mind immediately caught on. “OMG! You’re not talking about us getting engaged, are you?”“Yes, when are you guys planning to get engaged?”Elspeth’s words stirred up a storm in Yelena’s mind.The engagement wasn’t something that she had put much thought into, as she always felt that Max was just joking around. Plus, if they were really going to get engaged, Max should be the one to come to her. If he didn’t make a move, she wouldn’t have the audacity to shamelessly go up to him!“Alright, you know that Max is not expressive. Have you forgotten how he was? Even if he truly likes you, he will not have the audacity to bring up the engagement himself.”Now, that kind of makes sense. Upon hearing this, Yelena felt her expression soften. “Is that so? Then how do I get him to propose?”“I have a plan,” Elspeth replied with a light laugh.Then, Yelena leaned in, listening to her plan, and a smile crept onto her lips. “But won’t that be shameless?”In response, Elspeth rolled her eyes. “We can all see that he likes you.

He said he’s giving it to Emma instead.”Emma Walker again!Elspeth’s eyes flashed with a hint of iciness. “Don’t worry. Let’s call the director first and find out what’s going on.”So, Timothy gave Elspeth the director’s number immediately, and without hesitation, she made the call.The director seemed to be enjoying the company of beautiful women on either side of him, but Elspeth’s status was too unique to be ignored. He reluctantly answered the phone. “Hello, Miss Lynwood. Is there something you need?”“Just wanted to ask why the female lead role you promised Yelena isn’t available anymore all of a sudden.” When Elspeth brought up the subject casually, the director giggled awkwardly while simultaneously displaying a tinge of apathy. “It’s just a role. We chose the person who’s most suitable for the role. If we find someone better, of course, we’ll consider replacing the previous choice. Besides, we haven’t started filming yet, and there’s no contract signed, so it’s not a breach of contract.”Since the decision was made verbally, it is permissible for the director to go back to his
