Chapter 329

Chapter 329

Callum's eyes darkened as he stared.Jay followed his gaze and noticed Elspeth. He thought that, from the way Callum looked at her, he must be interested. And so, a sinful smile formed on his lips. "I see that she's your type. Good choice. She's probably the best-looking lady I've seen around."Jay was sure that Callum was interested in Elspeth, and he hurriedly made the arrangements. "Mr. Winthrop, are you into that woman? If so, we can get her to serve you."This time, Callum did not turn down his offer. He felt extremely uneasy when he noticed that Elspeth was almost pressing her body against another man. Before he knew it, he nodded and said to Jay, "Sure.""Anything, as long as you're happy! Great, let's head over." Jay took the lead and walked into the store, with Callum and the assistant following right behind. When Callum walked past Elspeth, he did not as much as take a look at her. He went straight into the store. That puzzled Jay, for Callum had appeared very interested in the woman earlier. Why didn't he even say hi to her at the door?As Callum was moving fast, Jay had to drop his thoughts and keep up immediately.Naturally, Elspeth did not notice Callum walking past her. Instead, she was flashing a fake smile at a stocky man, looking as charming as ever. The man said in a gruff voice, "How much do you charge per night?"She pointed at herself and beamed seductively. "Me? Why don't you try me out? You'll know then."The pair chatted for a bit at the door. The man started having lustful thoughts about Elspeth because of her looks. "Sure, let's head in now."When he wrapped his arm around her waist, his desire was immediately aroused. She sensed his biological changes, which disgusted her to no end. However, she could not express her emotions overtly. Subsequently, they entered the store and headed to the private lounge on the second floor.Callum had taken a seat by then, and he shot icy glares at them when he noticed that they were clinging to each other on their way to the second floor.Jay sensed Callum's dissatisfaction and chuckled. He whispered cautiously, "Mr. Winthrop, do you want me to talk to the boss and have her come to us?"Jay took Callum's silence as an agreement. He stood up and stopped the man in his tracks. "The CEO wants this lady to meet him.""CEO? Which CEO?" The overweight man was annoyed because he lost his chance with a lovely woman. No man would be happy in his circumstance. When he turned around and saw the regal aura of the CEO behind him, his blood suddenly ran cold. Unsure about Callum's background, he'd rather not offend his unknown rival and carefully let go of Elspeth. On the other hand, Elspeth glared at Jay unhappily, as though she was complaining about his insensitivity. What CEO is that? How dare he ruin my plans? Her eyes traveled in the direction of Jay's gaze, and she found Callum seated not far away with a glass of wine in his hand. All at once, her smile froze.C-Callum Winthrop? Why did he show up here? Has he found out about me? Her thoughts were jumbled, and she started panicking. Right as she was about to escape, she felt his frosty and murderous gaze falling on her. She had never seen that expression on him before, and she felt her legs turn to jelly. After thinking it over, she realized that she did not have to inform him about her whereabouts or what she was up to, for there was no relationship between them. So, she simply stood up straight and looked into his eyes unhappily."Miss, you should count your lucky stars that our CEO took a liking to you! Why don't you follow me now?" Jay noticed that she looked like a Charic and started coaxing her in Charish. He was showing enthusiasm only because Callum wanted her.Secretly upset, she frowned at him. "Tell him that I don't know him. I won't go.""Miss, don't you see where you're working? Who cares if you don't know Mr Winthrop? Do you know this man right next to you?"Jay was not wrong. Elspeth couldn't express her annoyance and caved in after some internal struggles. When the stocky man saw that she had followed Jay to meet with Callum, he had no choice but to leave in anger. She glided to Callum and noticed that he was sipping on the wine and ignoring her. That was her last straw. "Why did you call me over?" She used polite speech with him that sounded anything but polite.Callum kept quiet and merely gave Jay a side look."Right, I'll leave now." Taking the hint, Jay flashed them a toady smile and left them alone. Only Callum's assistant was on edge. He stared at the familiar woman as his jaw fell to the floor. Isn't this our former Mrs. Winthrop? Why is she at this place?"Go and have fun on your own. I need to talk to her." The assistant was shooed away by Callum before he could even collect himself."I never thought that you'd end up like this." After sending everyone away, Callum finally looked at her. There was a faint smile on his lips that trod the line between mockery and disdain. Taking her seat gracefully, she poured herself a glass of red wine. She swirled the content and downed it. "What I do here is none of your business. Instead of wasting your time bossing me around, why don't you go home to your first love? She might run away with another man again."He paused his movement, his expression heavy. "What are you implying?"She thought he was upset because she badmouthed Emma Walker. Feeling a little bitter, she replied, "Nothing. If this is all you have to say, it's time you stop causing a nuisance while I work."Then, she put away her glass of wine and stood up to leave."Stop right there."She obeyed his soft-sounding command unconsciously, thanks to her muscle memory that had formed after a long time."I told you I need to work," she hissed. Although Elspeth was on the verge of exploding, Callum did not seem the slightest bothered. "And I told you to stop right there.""Are you going to boss me about where I'm going?"He stood up and towered over her. "Didn't you say you need to work? I'll give you a chance to serve me."
