Love's Perfect Match

Chapter 279

unparalleled.“What are you looking at? We’ve known each other for so long, yet you’re still stunned by my good looks, eh?” When Gilbert said this, he didn’t blush in the slightest. He had broad shoulders, a slender waist, and long legs. With his exquisite facial features thrown into the mix, no one would doubt his claims.Elspeth chuckled, then raised her wine glass and took a sip. “What do you mean, stunned by your good looks? I’m just thinking, what right do you have to be so handsome? You’re not making use of your looks, after all.”Gilbert’s most obvious strength was his good looks, and it was also the aspect of him that people envied the most. However, it was also something he valued the least.He even hated people telling him that he looked good.When Gilbert heard Elspeth’s words, his expression instantly turned foul. He was about to lecture Elspeth when another person joined their table.“Hey there, Elspeth, Harper, Gilbert. I got delayed because something happened on my way here. Sorry.”Lisa came late. Gilbert didn’t want to lecture Elspeth in front of an audience, so he gave up. Harper put on a regretful expression, earning a vicious glare from Elspeth.“Right, I have something to ask you about.” Elspeth sat Lisa down beside her and began to interrogate, “What exactly is going on between you and Blake? Why are you two together all the time? Did he threaten you?”Even Lisa was exasperated at the topic. “I don’t know what’s going on with him these days. He suddenly started talking to me every day, asking me to play sports with him and go shopping with him, and he even wanted me to be his manager. I had too much to drink the other day, and while I was drunk, he sneakily used my fingerprint to sign the contract, so I’m his manager now.”Elspeth was at a loss for words.“Are you saying that you two secretly signed a contract under my company without my knowledge? Does Timothy know?”Elspeth felt a headache coming on. If Blake had feelings for Lisa, judging by his history as a playboy, he would get tired of her soon and dump her.No, she wouldn’t allow this to happen!Lisa smiled awkwardly. “It was already too late when Timothy found out. The contract was already signed by then, and Blake insisted I become his manager, or he’d go on strike. As such, Timothy just smiled and agreed.”“What do you feel about this, then?”Elspeth stared at Lisa intently as though she’d burn a hole through the woman’s face.“I don’t know how to reject him either.”Lisa suddenly remembered last night when Blake got drunk and tugged at her sleeve, saying that he wanted to buy clothes for her.“Your wardrobe is all black, white, and gray. Don’t you think that’s a little depressing? Come on, I’ll buy some nice clothes for you. You’re freshly grown up, so you should wear more colors…”Lisa didn’t protest; she just thought he was funny. He dragged her to the nearest clothing store, but the shop was already closed for the day. He made a fuss and took out a card, then tossed it into the shop owner’s hands, saying he had five million on the card and that he wanted to buy the entire shop. He even told the shop owner the password. Shocked, the shop owner ran to a nearby bank to check, only to find out that everything Blake said was true. In case Blake regretted his decisions, the shop owner hastily took out the keys to the shop and tossed them into Blake’s hands, then quickly ran away.With that, only two people were left—Blake, who was smiling goofily, and Lisa, who was helpless.“This is my first time buying clothes for a woman… If you’re okay with it, just wear them. You should know that I’m the best
