Dominic was startled for a moment before he snapped angrily,
“What on earth are you trying to do? How dare you trick me? That does it. I don’t want that land anymore. Give it to whomever you want. I’m calling off all the deals between Winthrop Group and Alphascape!”
“Don’t make such hasty decisions, Mr. Little. Let’s talk about your wife.”
Dominic’s expression stiffened at the mention of his wife.
“What do you mean by that?”
“I heard that your wife has a bit of a fiery temper, Mr. Little. She’s the jealous type too, it seems. What’ll happen if she found out that you got involved with another woman, Mr. Little? Do you think she’ll demand a divorce?”
From what Elsneth found out Dominic seemed like an accomplished and well-regarded man in nublic hut he
“Why, you!”
No matter how dumb Dominic was, he could tell he had been set up.
“I know how upset you must be right now. You know, you should’ve considered the danger of retaliation when you decided to trick Winthrop Group back then. What makes you think we won’t seek vengeance?”
Elspeth chuckled.
Dominic clenched his jaw and uttered stiffly, I’ll sign the contract.”
The three of them met inside a private room in the hotel and signed the contract. When Elspeth took the contract, Dominic side-eyed her phone which was on the table and he instantly tried to snatch it.
Elspeth stretched out her finger and pushed it lightly toward Callum.
“What are you doing. Mr. Little? Do you wish to renegade on our deal?”
It all happened too fast. Dominic didn’t expect this to happen. He lowered his head awkwardly.
“It’s nothing. Now that you have the contract, can you delete what you took?”
Elspeth shook her head.
“There’s no rush. I’ll delete the photos and the videos once everything is in order with the land ownership returning to you.”
“I hope you’ll keep your word, Miss Lynwood!”
Dominic glared at the two of them before leaving in a huff.
“Everything’s over now, Callum.”
Elspeth waved the contract in her hand with a mischievous smile.
“Yeah, and it’s all thanks to you, or else we wouldn’t have been able to trick that old fogey and lead him around by the nose,”
Callum replied with a chuckle.
“But you promised me that you’ll start a relationship with me once everything is over. Are you going to keep your word?”
“Well, we have to give him credit for being gullible. Oh, by the way, when are we attending Blake’s concert? He gave me the tickets yesterday and it says the concert’s on the 29th. What’s today’s date?”
Elspeth felt a little awkward when she heard Callum’s question, so she quickly changed the subject.
“The 29th.”
“Does that mean Blake’s concert has already started?”
Callum’s eyes flashed unhappily at the sight of her being so frantic.
She didn’t agree to go out with him, and she was now anxious because of another man, so it’s not surprising that he wasn’t happy about it.
“Are you in that much of a rush to attend Blake’s concert? Do you like him that much?”
Elspeth looked confused.
“Huh?”
Didn’t we agree that we’ll all attend his concert? Everyone’s going and I’ve already wasted so much time, which isn’t very good of me.
“It’s nothing. I’m heading back to the office to drop off the contract and talk to a few people. You can go ahead first.”
Elspeth was startled, and before she could even respond, Callum had left.
All of a sudden, her phone started ringing. She glanced at the screen and answered when she saw it was Blake who was calling.
She heard Blake’s deep voice coming through the phone.
“Are you busy after work, Elspeth? If you’re not, can you come to my concert?”
Elspeth nodded.
“Sure. I’ll be right there.”
When she got to the venue, she found that it was filled to the brim. She had to squeeze her way through to the front where her seat was.
The concert went on for a while and Callum had yet to come. Elspeth began to lose interest and her mind started wandering.
Blake’s singing has improved a lot. He sounds more emotive now, she thought to herself.
“To thank my fans for your loyal support, we’re going to select one person at random to come up and receive a mystery gift from me.”
The light shone down on Elspeth and she couldn’t avoid it. She was now under the watchful eyes of everyone.
Blake smiled at her.
“It’s Miss Elspeth Lynwood. Please come up on the stage to receive your prize.”
Elspeth had no choice but to go along with it and head up the stage, but she had a bad feeling about it when she saw Blake staring at her affectionately.
“The mystery gift from me is… a kiss!”
As soon as those words came out of Blake’s mouth, the tens of thousands of young women beneath the stage began to scream and wail.
“Why wasn’t I the one Blake chose?!”
“I want to share a kiss with Blake too!”
“Blake has never gotten close with any woman. Could this be his first kiss?!”
Elspeth looked at Blake with a stiff expression.
“This doesn’t seem right.”
Blake moved the mic away and quietly replied a little helplessly,
“I don’t have a choice either. It’s what the company wanted, not me.”
However, he wasn’t about to tell Elspeth the truth.
Elspeth felt her hair standing on end at the thought of kissing Blake.
“I still don’t think it’s appropriate.”
Blake smiled as he drew nearer.
“It’s my first on-screen kiss, Elspeth. You should enjoy it.”
Elspeth stood awkwardly on the stage. When she saw him suddenly approaching, she couldn’t avoid him and thus, she instinctively closed her eyes.
