Just like that, Elspeth was being dragged outside of the company. Looking at her stunned expression, Callum snapped his fingers. At that moment, a truck filled with roses slowly stopped in front of her.
A bouquet of roses would be lovely, but this… Elspeth couldn’t handle it. Looking at the truck, she could only sense wealth rather than the romantic feeling she wished she had felt.
Since it was off hours, everyone from the company was leaving. They were astonished when they saw the truck that was filled with roses.
“Dang. I have seen people who gave nine, ninety-nine, and nine hundred and ninety-nine roses. This is the first time I have ever seen such a scene. I bet there are a million roses in it.”
“Did you see Mr. Winthrop? Didn’t Mr. Edmund say that they are a couple? I bet he is flirting with his girlfriend.
“Of course, it is her. Who would be richer than her?”
Since Elspeth was just in front of them, she could hear every word they said. At that moment, she felt her lips twitch and was too stunned to speak. Is this romantic?
Her expression and reaction were not what he anticipated. Hmm… This is kind of odd. He couldn’t help frowning.
Why is it different from what Matthew said? He told me that girls like roses. The more, the better. Thus, I bought every rose I could find in the flower shop. However, judging from her look, she doesn’t look happy.
“Don’t you like it?”
Callum’s heart dropped when he saw her awkward expression.
At that moment, Elspeth smiled stiffly.
“I love it. This is the first time I had ever seen someone give a girl a whole truck of roses.”
Hearing her words, Callum thought, Although she looked somewhat weird, she must have liked it. I guess she is still shocked by this surprise. After she snaps out of it, she will be excited and rushed toward me.
“If you like it so much, I will give you double the roses than today,”
he said.
At that moment, the smile on Elspeth vanished.
“You did well. I prefer that this never happen again.”
“Why? I thought you liked it?”
Callum was confused by her words.
“Let me ask you something, Callum. How are you going to deal with all these flowers?”
“We throw it away?”
he asked.
When Elspeth heard his words, she rolled her eyes at him and said,
“Throw it all away? Are you wasting your money, Callum?”
When Callum heard her words, he thought he understood her meaning. Then, he took a card from his wallet and gave it to her.
“This is all the money I have. Since you are now my girlfriend, I’ll give it to you.’
Hearing her words, Elspeth was stunned and didn’t react.
“I don’t want your card.”
“Just take it. Sooner or later, the Winthrop Group will be yours too.”
Although Callum spoke in a low voice, the crowd could still hear it.
“Did you hear that? Mr. Winthrop is flitting!”
“Even a blockhead like him can fall in love, so flitting is nothing.”
“Money’s not everything, but it sure can buy love.”
“When will I ever meet such a man like Mr. Winthrop…’
“Don’t you daydream about this! Let’s just admire him!”

When Callum heard their conversations, he couldn’t help but smile. Maybe Elspeth is thinking the same thing as them. My actions must have touched her.
However, Elspeth felt awkward. Looking at the group of people behind her, she suggested,
“Why don’t we give them these flowers?”
Before he could say anything, the crowd was excited.
“Thank you, Mrs. Winthrop!”
When Callum heard the entitlement that they gave to her, he was delighted.
As the crowd went to take the roses, Elspeth and Callum stood behind them while planning what to do next.
“Should we drop by the hospital and visit your father?”
“There’s no need for that.”
Callum shook his head.
“Edmund just went there. He told me he would take care of Dad for the time being.”
talked about Edmund, he did not seem troubled like he used to.
“He told me that I have to take care of the company so that he would take care of the family.”
After hearing his words, Elspeth felt that Edmund had matured since he had helped her during the meeting, given her his place, and helped take care of Theodore.
“Where are we going then? Back home?”
Immediately, Callum’s eyes darkened as he spoke.
“We’ll find Arthur for an explanation.”
At that moment, Elspeth was shocked.
“Arthur? Have you asked him?”
“I just called and told him to meet up at 7.00PM, and he agreed.”
Since Elspeth didn’t know what Arthur was up to, she was nervous.
“I’ll go with you. It would be safer that way.”
“Okay.”
Then, Callum drove Elspeth to where they agreed to meet-a caf? near the company. Although Arthur was low profile and wore sunglasses, the duo still spotted him as soon as they entered the caf?. When they walked toward him, they saw that he had prepared two coffees on the table.
“What’s the matter, Callum? Is there anything you need?”
Hearing his words, Elspeth smirked coldly and said,
“Don’t you think you are being hypocritical at times like this, Arthur?”
“Hypocritical? Don’t judge me. Elspeth. If I am a hypocrite, what does that make Mr. Winthrop?”
As Arthur spoke, he sipped his coffee and smiled faintly.
