Love's Perfect Match

Chapter 330

he looked at the teeth marks on the back of his hand, he felt a sharp pain and frowned.Realizing that she had lost control of her emotions, Elspeth took a deep breath and said indifferently, “I got a little too emotional earlier. Just pretend you didn’t hear anything.”“It’s fine. You weren’t wrong.”As soon as he spoke, she instantly felt as if they were strangers.“If there’s nothing else, I really need to go work now,” Elspeth replied politely, her demeanor turning courteous yet detached.Callum didn’t like this feeling. When he had just lost his feelings for her, he was somewhat averse to her deliberate approaches, but when she truly distanced herself from him, his heart suddenly began to grow apprehensive again, as if her leaving was not a good thing for him.Elspeth turned around and was about to leave when he grabbed her hand again. He decided to follow his heart.“You’re not allowed to smile at anyone else.”Whenever he thought about the possibility of her smiling and flirting with another man, and even taking the next step with them, his heart boiled with fury.Annoyed, Elspeth shook his hand off. “On what grounds are you controlling me? And who are you to me anyway? That was my first customer since I worked here. It’s all your fault for disrupting my work.”Her first customer? That means she hasn’t done anything with another man yet.At that thought, Callum’s anger dispersed significantly, and he stared at her intensely with his dark eyes. “How much do you charge per night? I’ll book you for an entire month.”“What?” Elspeth froze. Why was it different from what she’d imagined? Shouldn’t he be leaving in a fit of anger right now because of her provocations? How did things turn out like this? Is Callum’s boundaries really that… low? Although Elspeth secretly thought to herself in shock, she still said stubbornly, “I’m really expensive. Are you sure you can afford it?”“Why? Do I have to sell off Winthrop Group just so I can afford you?” Callum gradually leaned in, asking in a suggestive tone.His close proximity caused her ears to flush bright red. “So, what if you sell off the company? You might not be able to afford me even if you sell yourself.”“Then, tell me, how much do you want?”The gears turning in her head, Elspeth decided to give him an outrageous demand. “Since you said so, let’s decide on a lucky number.”“Oh?” Callum caressed a strand of her hair, his interest piqued.“How about 7 million per night? Sounds about right to me.”When he heard her request, his expression stiffened. “You really don’t hold back, huh.”Elspeth thought that would be sufficient to make him back off, but he unexpectedly became even more motivated.“That’s too little. How about 77 million? What do you think?”She rolled her eyes. “You’re kidding me.”Callum reached out and held her chin, forcing her to meet his gaze. “You started it.”Elspeth’s face instantly flushed red. “I was just trying to keep you away from me.”The more she thought about it, the angrier she got, and the more aggrieved she felt. He was the one who told her not to provoke him in the first place, so how was it her fault now? Callum, you jerk! None of the men in the Winthrop Family are any good!At that thought, she suddenly felt a calloused finger brushing past her eyes. Surprisingly, Callum was wiping her tears. She didn’t even realize she had been crying, and her tears slowly rolled down from the corners of her eyes.I’ve already cried twice today. How embarrassing.“You can hate me and dislike me, but you can’t stay here and do these things, understand?”Callum had never been so gentle to her after his great change in personality, and if it wasn’t because it was actually happening to her, she would never have dared to dream about it. Elspeth froze in her tracks, at a loss for what she should do to express her feelings.“I have
