Love's Perfect Match

Arthur knows I can't say no after all that. Yet, I still don't want to accept his invitation so easily. So, Elspeth said, "Since you have a far more interesting thing that you want to share with me, why don't you reveal it all now?" Of course, I can't guarantee whether he's being truthful, either.

"You don't even trust me now? Tell me—which business that I have assured you before wasn't interesting? None, right?"

When Elspeth heard that, she couldn't help remembering what happened when they were abroad. Immediately afterward, she thought of her late mother. The gaze in her eyes darkened, and her tone became impatient, "Alright. I don't think we have anything to talk about."

Sure enough, Arthur wouldn't let this opportunity slip away so easily. Therefore, he continued before she was about to hang up, "What if this interesting nugget has to do with you? More importantly, your real identity."

My real identity? Elspeth was stunned for a moment. Hasn't my real identity been clearly revealed to the public? There can't be any hidden secrets, can there?

"Arthur, you could at least devise a smarter scheme if you want to trick me into meeting you."

At this point, Elspeth was sure that Arthur was deceiving her.

"If you want to jump to conclusions so easily and think that I'm lying to you, then so be it. I guess I'll just take this secret to my grave." Arthur shook his head and sighed helplessly as though it was a shame that she was being so difficult.

"Time?"

Elspeth backing down to his demands resulted in Arthur achieving his goal easily.

"I'll be waiting for you in Room 321 on the third floor of the Chars World Trade Center at 6.00PM tomorrow."

Arthur is very precise with his words. He said you and not you guys. So, in other words, he only wants me to attend this celebration banquet. He wants me to come alone, without backup. Elspeth pondered her options for a moment. Still, I think I need to be prepared beforehand in case he's up to no good.

"Oh, by the way, I have to remind you that you'd better not let Callum find out about this matter. I don't want to see him for the time being."
