Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me

Chapter 375

Chapter 375 Provocation

I was so close to kissing her. Jethro frowned as he was unhappy.

Elspeth turned red and quickly pushed Jethro away. Calmly, she said, "I see. I shall be with you shortly."

Harper nodded and gave Jethro a look before he left.

Elspeth was just wondering whom it was that wanted to see her, but Jethro wouldn't give her the time to think. "That Harper. I swear he doesn't know how to read the room."

"Get back to work, you." Elspeth rolled her eyes and picked up her coat that was over her chair, then she left.

Well, this is boring. He stared at Elspeth as she left.

Elspeth went to the waiting room Harper told her. Through the glass door, she saw a woman sitting inside. The woman seemed gentle, and she was drinking a cup of tea with her head lowered. Elspeth entered the room with a smile. "Fancy seeing you here, Miss McGrath." She could see that Jasmine was not here for any friendly chat.

Jasmine nodded and held back her hostility. "I've been wanting to see you, Miss Lynwood. You're as gorgeous as they say."

Praise and pleasantries. They were a typical opening to a tropey banter scene. Ever since Elspeth showed up, Jasmine wouldn't stop staring at her face. She was annoyed to see that Elspeth was a bit better-looking than she was. No wonder Callum fell for her so hard.

"What brings you here, Miss McGrath?" Elspeth asked. She didn't think Jasmine was here for business.

Jasmine froze. Oh yeah. I came on a whim and didn't have any excuse. "I was passing by and thought I would say hi. You do welcome me, don't you?"

Elspeth smiled, but she was sneering inside. I thought you came to kill me. "We aren't friends, Miss McGrath." Elspeth stayed calm. She knew Jasmine had more to say.

Jasmine sat up and shot Elspeth a sharp look. "I have a few things to say."

Elspeth cocked her eyebrow. It must be related to Callum. "Do speak. I have things to do, so my time is limited."

Jasmine rubbed her cup. "I don't know why you're still trying to approach Callum, but let's make one thing clear. He's my fiancé. If you have no business with him, do not disturb him."

"You think I'm harassing him?"

Jasmine gave her a look of disbelief. "Oh, what on earth made you think that? I just wanted to remind you. You did call him a few times."

Ugh. She thinks I can't wait to hook up with Callum. "I don't love him anymore," Elspeth said in disdain. "The calls were purely professional."

Jasmine shook her head, smiling. "Professional? You could've called someone else. You still like him. That's why you keep calling him."

Is she stupid? Elspeth didn't listen. She looked at the pushy Jasmine. She was furious, but she held her anger back. Impatiently, she said, "If nothing else, you should leave. I need to work, and I don't have time for you." She was chasing Jasmine away. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

Jasmine took the cue. but she wagged her phone before she left. "Our relationship is getting better, so please don't disturb us." Jasmine smiled. "He also told me something about you. Want to hear about

it?"

Elspeth answered without turning back, "Not interested."

"Very well, then. I don't want to upset you either. Even I think he was a bit too much." Jasmine sighed.

Elspeth froze. She's smug. For some reason, her heart ached for a moment. It was hurtful. "I know. You may stop now, Miss McGrath."

Jasmine was a little upset since she was hoping to see Elspeth getting annoyed, yet Elspeth was calm. How could she stay calm after all that? "Ah, I was just trying to be kind, and yet a cold reception is all I got." She tucked her phone back into her bag and got up. "Oh, and one more thing."

Elspeth frowned. "I don't have time for this, Miss McGrath. You don't have to strut around like a victorious rooster. I don't care about him anymore."

Jasmine was annoyed about being interrupted, but she didn't show it on her face. "Fine. I guess you're sturdier than I thought." Jasmine lost interest in talking to her, seeing that Elspeth looked unwelcoming.

Jasmine left, and Elspeth saw her off perfunctorily. Once she was gone, Harper approached Elspeth looking annoyed. "I heard everything. That b*tch came to brag because she's engaged to Callum? Man, she has a big head. I should've told her you weren't in." Harper knew Elspeth still couldn't let Callum go, and after everything Jasmine said, he knew Elspeth was upset. "I won't let her in next time."

Elspeth gave him a look of consolation. "It doesn't matter. I wasn't affected." She's not worth my time. "Just forget about this. Our job is to make this company better. Relationships are out of the question."

Harper smiled. "I see the old Elsie is coming back."

"Stop the flattering and get back to work."

Elspeth shoved Harper back to work, then she returned to her office. She sneered as she plopped down on her chair. Did she really think I wouldn't notice her little sabotage? If she stops right now, then all will be well, but if she goes any further, then I will go after her.
