Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me

Chapter 18 A Challenge From an Old Friend

“Callum!” As much as Max was furious, Callum was still the one who established Winthrop Group, so he did not have a say in this situation and could only clench his fists in anger.

Meanwhile, Elspeth looked at Max’s angry expression and smiled casually. “Hey, you look like you’re not having it.”

“I don’t know how you managed to convince my father, but you’ll only be bringing trouble to the company. Who knows how you’d sabotage the company as soon as you step foot into it?”

“Don’t be so quick to deny someone.”

Not wanting to argue with a child, she stopped talking after that. It was confirmed that she would be joining the company anyway, so no matter how angry Max was, he could only accept the fact.

Staying true to his words, Callum knocked on Elspeth’s door the following morning so that they could head to the company together. It was her first day, so he had arranged for her to join the design department as an ordinary employee.

She smiled and greeted her fellow colleagues. Just as she sat down, a stack of documents was heavily dropped onto her desk before her.

“Alright. These are the things you’re going to be working on. Finish them by 12.00PM and email them to me. Don’t think you can have it easy just because someone is back—Elspeth?” The ranting Ava Wiley suddenly stopped talking as she was stunned when she saw the familiar, beautiful face before her.

“It’s been a while, Ava.”

Elspeth naturally remembered the woman before her. Back then, Ava relied on the fact that her father was the principal and bullied her because the guy she secretly liked had a crush on her; they even fought with each other. After that, Elspeth was expelled and went abroad. It was not until she finished her double major that she returned to the country.

What a small world it was as they met again at this very place. However, the current Elspeth was different from before, yet she was still as stubborn as ever. With a sneer, she looked at Ava’s distorted face and laughed. “What’s the matter? Cat got your tongue?”

Remembering that she was the supervisor here, Ava regained her confidence and reprimanded, “I’m telling you, I’m your supervisor here, so don’t play any tricks with me. I have many ways of chasing you out of here if you don’t do your job well!”
