Love's perfect match novel (Elspeth and Callum)
Chapter 372

Chapter 372 Account Suspended

The hyperactive comments died out at once as the audience quietened down and focused on the match with great anticipation.

First, Jethro opened up his profile page to show off his past achievements.

'Huh? Why didn't I know that he topped the rankings on that many servers?'

'That's because he kept streaming on his alternate account. This is his main account.'

'He's ElsOnMyMind! That's the guy who shot up to number two on the rankings out of the blue and became number one when Elsie stopped playing.'

'ElsOnMyMind... Don't tell me it means Elsie's on his mind? Whoa! Love is in the air!'

Elspeth hadn't paid any attention to his ID, but now that she saw what the viewers were saying, their analysis made sense.

She looked up at him and caught a pair of loving eyes staring at her.

"That's right. It's exactly what he said."

Elspeth scoffed. "That's revolting."

"You can call it romantic. How can you say it's revolting?"

Jethro flexed his wrist and selected a one-on-one match before inviting Elspeth into the game.

"Let's give the win to the first person who gets three kills. How's that?"

Elspeth had no reason to disagree.

"Alright. Since it's a competition, we should place a bet. What do you think the bet should be?"

Jethro stroked his chin and grinned devilishly. "How's this? If I win, you'll be my girlfriend."

The moment Elspeth heard this, she knew for certain that she had to win this match. "What if you lose?"

"If I lose... I'll focus on my job and avoid pestering you for one month."

My, my. Can the terms be any more biased in your favor?

Elspeth rolled her eyes. "That's unfair. If you lose, you're not allowed to bother me ever again."

Ever again was too shocking to Jethro. He threw his phone aside and flopped on the couch.

"I'm not competing anymore."

"What now? Are you scared to take the bet?" Elspeth smirked. "Here I was thinking that the great Mr. Wilstone was better than this. It turns out that he's a coward." This was clearly an attempt to rile him up. Anyone could see that.

However, Jethro was unaffected. It was as if he hadn't heard her.

"Are you really not competing, Jethro?"

"If you want me to stay away from you forever, you might as well kill me." Jethro pouted like an upset child who was wronged.

Since her goading didn't work, she had to compromise.

"Oh, alright. One month it is."

A smile blossomed across Jethro's face. "I knew you're the best, Elsie."

However, Elspeth froze soon after.

"Hang on. Did you mute your mic?"

Jethro shook his head with perfect innocence.

"I kept my mic on the whole time ever since I came in."

Elspeth was stunned at first, but soon, she felt storm clouds gathering over her head.

She knew that the comments section would be blowing up right now.

To avoid letting anything affect her during the match, she stopped watching the stream.

The two of them chose their champions, and the match began in earnest.

Elspeth didn't think that Jethro would be as good as she was.

His game sense and mechanical skills were both top-notch in the world of gaming.

She began seeing him in a different light.

Nevertheless, she was someone who topped the rankings too, so she easily got the first kill.

Elspeth cocked her eyebrow and smirked at him. "How about it? You can admit defeat now if you like."

"Admit defeat? Never."

During the second clash, Elspeth underestimated her opponent and he managed to kill her.

"See, Elsie? You're not invincible."

Jethro was grinning widely after getting the kill.

"I went easy on you. Let's continue."

This time, she no longer let her guard down.

With a sudden burst of attacks, she managed to kill Jethro a second time.

"Only the last kill remaining."

Elspeth glanced at him with a confident smirk.

Jethro was expressionless. It was as if he wasn't worried at all.

"The outcome hasn't been decided yet."

"Uh huh," Elspeth hummed without being too concerned about his comment.

Once he revived, she waited for him in the bush beside his tower.

However, Jethro seemed to realize what was happening as he stayed in his tower and didn't move at all. It was as if he had disconnected from the game. Elspeth had no choice but to hide in the bush and wait.

After a while, Elspeth figured out that he was doing it on purpose, so she prepared to go into the tower and kill him.

A split second before she landed her ultimate skill, everything came to a standstill, and the screen panned to her base... which exploded!

Alas, Elspeth lost the game with the kill score being 2 to 1.

She was furious. "You tricked me! You secretly cleared my minions and got your minions to attack my base!"

Jethro knew he wasn't going to win this matchup.

Initially, he held out hope that he could defeat her.

However, when the match was nearing the end, he realized just how terrifyingly good she was. There was a reason why she topped the rankings.

In that case, he decided to play a trick on her and destroy her base instead. That way, regardless of the outcome of the match, he wouldn't have to fulfill the bet he made. "As they say, all's fair in love and war."

Jethro put on a pitiful act. "If I lost, I wouldn't be able to hang out with you for a month. That's torture!"

What was the point of coming to the office if he couldn't look for her?

The moment the viewers heard what he said, they gleefully reveled in the lovey-dovey atmosphere.

'I never knew MyLord was such a romantic guy.'

'He's a guy, after all. There's no harm in a bit of trickery. I think it's sweet."

'I'm in tears. MyLord likes someone! It's his boss, and she's such an incredible woman too! There's no hope for MyLord and me anymore...'

'Stop crying already. Even if Elspeth wasn't around, he still wouldn't be interested in you.'

Elspeth had turned off the live stream, so she had no idea what was happening in the comments section.

"That's enough. You're still streaming right now. Don't say such nonsensical things."

Elspeth was worried about Jethro's popularity.

If he announced that he had someone he liked, he would probably lose a lot of his female fans.

It wouldn't be good for his career.

"So what? Isn't it normal for me to have someone I like? Humans are born with emotions. Why can't I be honest about my feelings for someone?"

Elspeth glared at him. "You're a streamer."

"So what if I am a streamer? I want my fans to like me for my talents. I don't feel the need to please fans who are only after my looks. They're not worth keeping." Well, Elspeth couldn't refute that.

She pinched the area between her brows with a sense of helplessness.

I'm even more worried about the comments that'll be coming my way, okay?

What if some of the more fanatical fans start sending me nasty comments?

However, Jethro wasn't bothered.

He raised his phone and directed the camera at his face. Elspeth was standing in the background.

"Hi, everyone. Since you heard everything, I'll come out and say it. Actually, I have feelings for "

Jethro's face vanished from the screen before he could finish his sentence.

A line of words popped up.

'Your account has been suspended due to sensitive content.'

Jethro's expression hardened at once. "Who suspended my account?"
