Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me

Chapter 331

in displeasure. If he did so, she would be at his mercy for quite some time.Although she wouldn’t have to serve any other customers, it was a huge pain regardless, and she refused to serve Callum.“In that case, I’m out of ideas.” Logan spread his arms and shrugged.After that, he turned to look at Elspeth. “Remember to do your job or everything I promised you will be considered void.”These words were clearly a jab at her, and her heart jolted as she said with a nod, “Right.”After Logan left, Callum stared at her as if he had something to say. However, just as she thought he was about to give her an earful, he suddenly averted his gaze and left without saying another word.As she stared at his retreating back, she suddenly felt a trace of a strange emotion in her heart. Why am I reluctant to see him leave?She frantically shook her head, trying to shake off this strange thought. She no longer had any relationship with him now, and whatever he did was none of her concern, so she didn’t need him to interfere with her actions either. However, she couldn’t determine if Callum had given up on persuading her or if he had other plans. Guess I’ll have to go with the flow for now. But I must never let him cause any more trouble.After getting off work at six in the morning, she was about to return to Arthur’s villa when she met the janitor again. This time, the woman was still sweeping the floor with blank eyes, and when she passed by her, it was as if she didn’t notice. Thinking that this strange woman wasn’t intending to talk to her this time as well, Elspeth prepared to leave when a robotic, lifeless voice suddenly sounded.“You went to work as a hostess, didn’t you?”Her voice carried a strange and complex emotion, as if she felt an overwhelming sense of relief, but also seemed to hold an indignant sense of lament.“Yes, I did. What about it, Madam?” Although she knew that the woman didn’t like her, Elspeth still replied politely.“You really are embarrassing your mother.” The woman’s voice suddenly turned sharp and frantic.For reasons unknown to her, Elspeth found herself willingly explaining to her. “Madam, I have my own reasons for doing this.”“Whatever reasons you have, since you’re already working as a hostess, it means that you’ve done something extremely shameful.”It sounded to Elspeth that the woman was telling her off. Is she lecturing me?Elspeth was not quite certain, but it was clearly useless to waste her breath on her. After all, they were just strangers, and her words would not have any effect on her. With that thought, she decided to go back early to avoid making her mother worry.“Madam, I know what I’m doing, so you don’t have to worry about this.”After replying courteously, Elspeth turned around and left.The woman behind her slowly raised her head, revealing a pair of gloomy eyes. If Elspeth were to look closely at that moment, she would notice that those eyes were somewhat familiar.…When Elspeth returned to the villa, the others were still in bed as it was still early. Only Arthur had woken up early as usual to begin his exercise.Upon seeing Elspeth returning, caked in makeup and reeking of cigarettes and alcohol from the club, he couldn’t help but frown, and he didn’t hold back as he commented, “Your getup really is ridiculous.”Even so, he firmly believed that Elspeth would not do anything that went against her morals.Elspeth played with her hair that she had specifically permed to be even curlier
