Love's Perfect Match

Callum stood by the company's entrance in a well-fitted black suit in front of his car. He looked like he had just left work.

His eyelids were slightly lowered. With his tall nose bridge and pale, thin lips, every contour and line of his face looked gentle, yet laced with a sharp coldness.

Standing not far away and looking at him, Elspeth felt a myriad of emotions flood her chest.

Callum's still eyes were colder than usual when he took a moment to look her up and down. He finally hissed in an annoyed voice, "Why are you standing so far away? Do you think I'm going to eat you?"

For some reason, although he clearly sounded sick of her behavior from his tone, she didn't feel the slightest discomfort of being loathed.

She obediently took a few steps forward. After doing this, she wanted nothing more than to hit herself on the forehead and crack it open to see what was going on in her mind.

I'm doing everything he tells me to do! Am I really lovestruck?!

The man in front of her had also taken a step closer to her while she was quietly chastising herself.

With his tall and big build, he appeared to be looking down at her as he stood in front of her.

"Is there something you need me for?"

He wouldn't come just to take a look at her now, would he?

His thin and sharp black eyes narrowed slightly. "We're celebrating my mother's birthday tonight. You're invited."

Hearing that, Elspeth pressed her lips together before asking, "Why am I invited to your mother's birthday?"

Margot already knew that the two of them didn't have anything to do with each other anymore.

Callum had already briefly explained his situation, but seeing how indifferent she still was, he said in a cold voice, "She just wants to see you."

It wasn't like she deliberately wanted to refuse. It was just that the two of them had nothing to do with each other now. It was obvious that her being there would make it awkward.

She tried to negotiate again. "Can I not go?"

Callum had already turned around and got into the car without saying a word by the time she looked up again.
