Love's Perfect Match

Chapter 332

own manager had stopped caring about her.Although he was being apathetic and impolite to her, Emma had no choice but to soften her voice to achieve her goal. “It’s about Eden Fashion Week…”“No, you aren’t popular enough,” he immediately refused.In her desperation, Emma placed her hands on his shoulders and gently massaged them. “Ryan, you’re the best, so I’m sure you have an idea for me, right?”No man could resist a pair of soft and feeble hands that had voluntarily placed themselves on their shoulders, and Ryan was the same.Instantly, he became distracted and began stroking her hands while wearing the usual expression. He said, “In that case, come to my house tonight, and we’ll discuss this properly.”Emma’s smile widened. “Okay! Thank you, Ryan!”…When Elspeth awakened, it was already growing late, making the large and empty room seem overwhelmingly desolate. She rubbed her messy hair and got out of bed to pull the curtains open, but the room still remained dimly lit.Suddenly, there was a knock on her door. After dragging her exhausted body over to open it, she immediately saw Isabel, who was a head shorter than her, holding a tray with many elaborate plates of food on it. Taken aback, Elspeth asked, “What’s this?”Isabel’s face instantly flushed red and she stammered, “I-I made this for you.”“That’s amazing, Isabel.” Elspeth accepted the tray with a smile and caressed her hair, saying, “Thanks.”After a long moment of hesitation, Isabel said, “Elspeth, if that place is exhausting, you shouldn’t go anymore. It really doesn’t matter what happens to my face.”Her compassion softened Elspeth’s heart, and she assured her, “Don’t worry, it’s not that exhausting. In fact, things are really easy there. Besides, I know how to protect myself.”To prevent her from worrying any further, Elspeth took the food into her room and cleared her plate.When she carried the dishes downstairs to clean them up, Arthur, who was curled up on the couch while reading a book, suddenly turned around and sent her a smile. “Are you going again tonight?”After putting the plates back in their places, Elspeth stretched and said with a sigh, “Yeah, I haven’t completed my mission yet, so I have to stay there for the time being.”Arthur’s eyes flashed. “Then, did you meet anyone special when you went yesterday?”“No, I didn’t. Why?” Elspeth felt her heart skip a beat, sensing that he was trying to get something out of her.When he saw her reluctance to speak, Arthur retracted his dubious gaze and replaced it with a smile. “Nothing much, just asking.”After watching his abnormal behavior, Elspeth was suddenly skeptical that he knew Callum was here. However, Isabel’s issue was the most important thing for her at the moment.After returning to her bedroom, she covered her face in an exaggerated makeup look and changed into her short tube dress before heading to the store. Once she arrived, she greeted the customers at the door as usual, and when she finally locked her target and was ready to pounce, a hand grabbed her wrist with such force that it felt like it was going to crush her wrist. When she turned around, she realized it was Callum again.“Why are you haunting me?” Elspeth demanded furiously. Upon seeing that the man was about to be stolen by another woman, she desperately tried to shake him off to no avail.“What’s wrong? Do you want to serve your customers so badly?”Elspeth raised her voice and yelled, “I already said many times that we’re nothing to each other now. It’s none of your business what I do, and I don’t need to explain things to you either!”Callum’s empty hand balled into a fist. “You’re my fiancée now, so there shouldn’t be any problem with you explaining yourself, right?”Fiancée?Elspeth was so mad she laughed. “There’s nothing between us now. Don’t forget that you were the one who canceled our wedding.”However, Callum refuted unabashedly, “I did, but my partner was the dead Elspeth. You’re still alive now, so it doesn’t count.”Is he trying to play word games?Seeing that he was unwilling to let go of her hand, Elspeth stepped on his knee viciously. She was wearing a pair of black high heels today, and although she held back just enough to teach him a lesson, it probably still
