“Why do you care so much about Miss Lynwood’s life, Mr. Winthrop? Didn’t you chase her out of your house?”
“I don’t think this has anything to do with you, Mr. Carr.”
At this moment, Elspeth noticed that Callum’s expression was a little disgruntled. To avoid the awkwardness and solve the problem, she quickly entered Callum’s car.
Jordan was smiling, his smile furtive.
In the car, Elspeth was still curious about how Callum knew where she stayed and why he was there to pick her up in the early morning.
Seemingly seeing through her doubts, Callum said calmly.
“This villa area is one of the Winthrop Group’s properties.”
Right, the Winthrop Group is so rich and powerful. It’s just a piece of cake for them to look into personal information.
“And why did you come to pick me up?”
At this moment, an awkward expression covered his face.
“You said that I don’t know how to pursue a girl. I just think driving the girl to and from work should be counted as one way.”
“Whom did you learn this from?”
After carefully thinking about it for some time, only then did he slowly answer,
“Matthew.”
Last night, after he hung up the phone, he couldn’t sleep at all, so he asked the dissolute Matthew, who had much more experience in dating, out for a drink at Luna Bar.
“You’re disturbing me this late at night and ruining my chances with the girls just to consult me on techniques to hit on girls?”
Callum gave him a death stare and corrected him,
“To pursue a girl.”
“There’s not much of a difference.”
Matthew leaned backward with a relaxed expression. Firstly, you need to do something to make her feel touched, like drive her to and from work, buy her some small presents, and you can also sweet talk her. All women are into that. Even when she’s a savvy woman like Elspeth. She’ll like that ton”
“Sigh. You’re opulent, Mr. Winthrop. You can buy her anything. Even a house.”
That was the end of his memory. As he looked at Elspeth’s puzzled face, he took out a card from his bag.
“This card has all the money you spent buying that villa. I’m giving you the house for free.”
When Elspeth heard that, she couldn’t help but chuckle.
“Why? You have so much money that you wanted to burn some?”
Callum was stunned. I don’t think this is what Matthew meant by ‘Girls usually melt when they receive presents.
“Since you said so, I should appreciate your kindness, then.”
She took the card from his hand and put it into her bag.
“You can never have too much money.”
“Is there anything else you like? I can buy it for you.”
From that, she was completely convinced that Callum had no idea how to pursue a girl.
“Callum, that’s not how you pursue a girl. Since you’re here to drive me, send me to the Azure Corporation building. I need to meet Harper.”
When he heard that she needed to meet Harper again, he felt salty all of a sudden and acted strangely.
“Why do you need to meet him again? Is there anything that I can’t solve for you?”
After hearing that, Elspeth didn’t know why, but she felt speechless. Because I’m his boss! However, she just shouted that in her mind. She could only force a smile on the outside and ask,
“Are you driving me there or not then? If you’re not, I’ll just go there on my own.”
Callum gave up and could only nod to agree, but he seemed quite reluctant as he purposely drove at a snail’s pace.
In the end, the road suddenly turned congested, so he stopped the car slowly on the side of the road.
“This might take another half hour. Should I ask my assistant to fly a helicopter here?”
Elspeth was immediately stunned. Does this idea not come across as a little outrageous for him at all?
“We’re in the city center, Callum. Can you think about the consequences before you do anything? Where’s your rationality?”
If a helicopter appeared in the sky out of nowhere, it wouldn’t just be congestion, but an accident.
“I don’t care what other people think. I just want to send you to your destination.”
If those hopeless romantic young girls heard this, they might be infatuated at once, but that was not the case for Elspeth. She just wanted to kick Callum after hearing that.
“It’s okay. I can wait. I’m not in a rush.”
“I don’t know how to pursue a girl, but I really want to treat you well. You must tell me if there’s something that I’ve done wrong.”
Suddenly, she didn’t know what to say anymore.
At once, silence engulfed them. She turned around to look outside the window, but the sound of shouting and cursing outside attracted her attention.
Outside, the two middle-aged men were arguing with each other, seemingly as if it had something to do with their cars. The man who was talking looked confident, and he looked unconvinced even when he was the one who crashed into the other person’s car.
Looking at the man, Elspeth found him familiar. When she thought about it, she realized that it was Houston, who had disappeared for a long time. At this moment, the clothes on his body looked as though they had been brought from the flea market. Moreover, his self-confidence was gone, and he was left with the philistinism of a lower rank citizen. Elspeth felt pity when she looked at him, but she knew he had probably put himself in such a situation, so she didn’t think much about it.
However, when Houston turned around and saw her, an idea came to his mind. At that moment, he dashed forward, pointed at Elspeth, and said,
“This is my wife, and she will pay for it. I don’t have any money!”
After all, he was in this state because of her, so he wanted payback by making her lose some money.
When the man heard his words, he seemed to have believed it and walked toward Elspeth.
“Are you his wife? Alright, then. My car has been damaged, and it was worth around a million when I bought it. Do you want to pay me through PayPal or by cash?”
Listening to his words, Elspeth smirked coldly and answered,
“I don’t have anything to do with him. You should ask him to pay you when he’s the one who damaged your car.”
“How can you be so insolent?”
the man said. He knew that Houston would not have any money with that appearance of his, so he wanted to blame Elspeth for it. Who knew he might get some money out of her?
Seeing that Elspeth didn’t budge, the man suddenly sat on the ground and cried for justice.
“Look, everyone! This woman’s husband crashed into my car, and she won’t compensate me. This is just wrong!”
At that moment, many people surrounded them and whispered to each other. Some were giving snarky comments, whereas some felt pity for the man.
On the other hand, Elspeth decided to ignore the man and looked at Houston.
“It’s been months since we last saw each other, Mr. Bishop. I can see that you are getting more and more shameless as time passes,”
she said.
Seeing that he was no longer involved in the matter, Houston smiled and said,
