Love's Perfect Match

Love’s Perfect Match Chapter 261

When Yelena heard that Elspeth was in town, she headed straight to the lounge and found her perched

on the couch sipping coffee; she lunged towards her and gave her a big hug.“Elspeth, Elspeth! Today,

Timothy offered me another role, and this time it’s not the dumb and sweet leading lady. It’s a bad*ss,

cool second female lead. I looked at the script, and the character is so likable. I really love it!”Elspeth

smiled. “That’s great, but that’s not why I asked you to come over.”“Then, what is it?”Yelena had been

cooped up in the office these days, not knowing what was going on with Elspeth.“Do you remember the

framing incident from last time?”Indeed, she would not be able to forget that, so she nodded vigorously. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

“Of course, I remember. Wasn’t it resolved already? Wait, don’t tell me Emma Walker, that two-faced, is

causing trouble again?”Elspeth shook her head. “No, it’s that you promised the people something with

Max. You should follow through with it.”What did I promise?Her mind immediately caught on. “OMG!

You’re not talking about us getting engaged, are you?”“Yes, when are you guys planning to get

engaged?”Elspeth’s words stirred up a storm in Yelena’s mind.The engagement wasn’t something that

she had put much thought into, as she always felt that Max was just joking around. Plus, if they were

really going to get engaged, Max should be the one to come to her. If he didn’t make a move, she

wouldn’t have the audacity to shamelessly go up to him!“Alright, you know that Max is not expressive.

Have you forgotten how he was? Even if he truly likes you, he will not have the audacity to bring up the

engagement himself.”Now, that kind of makes sense. Upon hearing this, Yelena felt her expression

soften. “Is that so? Then how do I get him to propose?”“I have a plan,” Elspeth replied with a light

laugh.Then, Yelena leaned in, listening to her plan, and a smile crept onto her lips. “But won’t that be

shameless?”In response, Elspeth rolled her eyes. “We can all see that he likes you. We’re just allowing

him to express himself. How is that being shameless?”Yelena usually listened to Elspeth’s advice, so

her concerns were quickly brushed off as well.The two were laughing and joking when suddenly,

Timothy burst through the door with a grave expression. “Bad news.”“What?” Yelena asked, taken

aback.“The director changed his mind about the role he promised you this afternoon. He said he’s

giving it to Emma instead.”Emma Walker again!Elspeth’s eyes flashed with a hint of iciness. “Don’t

worry. Let’s call the director first and find out what’s going on.”So, Timothy gave Elspeth the director’s

number immediately, and without hesitation, she made the call.The director seemed to be enjoying the

company of beautiful women on either side of him, but Elspeth’s status was too unique to be ignored.

He reluctantly answered the phone. “Hello, Miss Lynwood. Is there something you need?”“Just wanted

to ask why the female lead role you promised Yelena isn’t available anymore all of a sudden.” When

Elspeth brought up the subject casually, the director giggled awkwardly while simultaneously displaying

a tinge of apathy. “It’s just a role. We chose the person who’s most suitable for the role. If we find

someone better, of course, we’ll consider replacing the previous choice. Besides, we haven’t started

filming yet, and there’s no contract signed, so it’s not a breach of contract.”Since the decision was

made verbally, it is permissible for the director to go back to his own words. Besides, his mouth began

to water when he recalled the soft curves of Emma’s body from last night.Emma had said that if he

helped suppress Yelena, she would sleep with him just once! How could he resist the allure of a starlet

like her?“Promises are meant to be kept, so it’s downright heartless of you to go back on your word.”

Elspeth initially hoped to persuade him through reasoning, but she quickly abandoned this idea after

realizing he was not reasonable.“Fine. Since you have your own ideas, we won’t bother you anymore.

Let’s hope that you won’t regret it in the future,” Elspeth said, then hung up the phone.On the other

end, the director yelled with a spat, “That b*tch dared to disrespect me. I’ll be dumb if I let her take part

in this film!”Yelena hung her head, feeling despondent. “I really liked the script. To be honest, I didn’t

expect my role to be gone just like this.”Her disappointment was genuine.This drama was perfect for

her to transition into a new role. If she succeeded, she would be spared from many unnecessary

criticisms. But it was all for naught…“Do you really want to star in this series?” Elspeth felt a little

uneasy, too, when she looked at Yelena.“Yes. But if I can’t, it’s okay too. We can always find something

better to film, right?”Yelena didn’t want to cause any trouble for Elspeth. Even if she had a plan, Yelena

wouldn’t pursue it; she wouldn’t forgive himself if Elspeth had to beg the arrogant director on her

behalf.Yelena attempted to comfort herself, but Elspeth paid no attention.“If you really want to join, I

have a way.” She smiled mysteriously.Yelena was ecstatic upon hearing this. “Really? Can I still be in

this drama?”“Yeah. If we can’t do it the soft way, we’ll do it the hard way.”Yelena couldn’t help but worry.

“You’re not going to beat him up, are you? That’s not a good idea. Even if you won, it’s not worth the

risk of future retaliation.”“Don’t worry. I won’t do anything foolish.” I’m lying.She had a brilliant idea

brewing in her mind long ago. When Yelena noticed the glimmer in Elspeth’s eyes, instead of feeling

relieved, she became more concerned.Elspeth had been cautious all this time. She wouldn’t go over

the line, right?Elspeth continued to talk to Yelena for a short while, but she was clearly absent-minded

throughout the conversation.Then, she left, telling Timothy not to accept any acting jobs for Yelena for

the time being; she could do variety shows and advertisements, but no more dramas.Timothy was

puzzled. Yelena’s career was on the rise, and not taking acting jobs would hurt her status.Elspeth

should not make such a mistake, right?But, because Elspeth had given the order and he couldn’t go

against it, all he could do was nod in agreement.Yelena was kept in the dark about what Elspeth

did.Elspeth left the company before calling Lisa. “Hey, bring some men out tonight with you. We’re

getting down to business,” she said with a sly smile on her face.Just wait and see.
