Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me

Sweetheart Do You Still Love Me Chapter 331

“I didn’t hear you properly earlier, but from what you said, you want one of my girls to leave. That means you’re here to start a fight, aren’t you, Mr. Winthrop?” Logan stood in front of Elspeth as soon as he finished, shielding her from Callum.Elspeth’s heart skipped a beat as she looked at his back. Although this was Logan’s turf, Callum was not a man to be trifled with either.As she had expected, Callum jutted his chin and asked with a cold expression, “Is there a problem with me taking my fiancée back with me?”Hearing that, Logan clapped his hands and laughed heartily. “That’s hilarious. You’re treating one of my girls as your fiancée, and you even want to take her back?”“I mean what I said.” Callum’s voice gradually turned icy as he spoke.“Regardless of whether you mean it or not, all the girls here are basically indentured to me. They can’t simply leave without completing their quota.”Logan looked at Elspeth who was next to him and smiled. “Or perhaps you can ask this lady if she’s willing to leave with you.”Callum’s gaze fell on her. “Come with me.”“I’m not going. I want to stay here.” Elspeth shook her head and turned him down with a helpless sigh.Isabel was still waiting for her, so how could she disappoint her by giving up halfway?Logan’s eyes immediately darkened. “See, I didn’t stop her. Miss Lynwood doesn’t want to leave herself.”Instantly, Callum’s anger was set alight again. He stepped forward and grabbed her wrist tightly. “I said I’ll give you anything you want. Come with me this instant.”“Callum, I’ve already made it clear that I’m not coming with you. I have my own matters to tend to,” Elspeth said bitterly. It would be wonderful if he could really give it to her, but there was only one type of this herb in the world, and it was within Logan’s possession.The matters that she spoke of now were clearly different from before, and she trusted Callum to understand what she was implying.However, as if he were under a spell, his grip tightened around her hand. “Then, under what conditions will you agree to come with me?”While the two reached yet another stalemate, Logan suddenly thought of a brilliant idea.“Why don’t you reserve her for yourself? Miss Lynwood would be yours, then.”This was clearly the best outcome for him.“I refuse!” Elspeth protested in displeasure. If he did so, she would be at his mercy for quite some time.Although she wouldn’t have to serve any other customers, it was a huge pain regardless, and she refused to serve Callum.“In that case, I’m out ofContent is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

ideas.” Logan spread his arms and shrugged.After that, he turned to look at Elspeth. “Remember to do your job or everything I promised you will be considered void.”These words were clearly a jab at her, and her heart jolted as she said with a nod, “Right.”After Logan left, Callum stared at her as if he had something to say. However, just as she thought he was about to give her an earful, he suddenly averted his gaze and left without saying another word.As she stared at his retreating back, she suddenly felt a trace of a strange emotion in her heart. Why am I reluctant to see him leave?She frantically shook her head, trying to shake off this strange thought. She no longer had any relationship with him now, and whatever he did was none of her concern, so she didn’t need him to interfere with her actions either. However, she couldn’t determine if Callum had given up on persuading her or if he had other plans. Guess I’ll have to go with the flow for now. But I must never let him cause any more trouble.After getting off work at six in the morning, she was about to return to Arthur’s villa when she met the janitor again. This time, the woman was still sweeping the floor with blank eyes, and when she passed by her, it was as if she didn’t notice. Thinking that this strange woman wasn’t intending to talk to her this time as well, Elspeth prepared to leave when a robotic, lifeless voice suddenly sounded.“You went to work as a hostess, didn’t you?”Her voice carried a strange and complex emotion, as if she felt an overwhelming sense of relief, but also seemed to hold an indignant sense of lament.“Yes, I did. What about it, Madam?” Although she knew that the woman didn’t like her, Elspeth still replied politely.“You really are embarrassing your mother.” The woman’s voice suddenly turned sharp and frantic.For reasons unknown to her, Elspeth found herself willingly explaining to her. “Madam, I have my own reasons for doing this.”“Whatever reasons you have, since you’re already working as a hostess, it means that you’ve done something extremely shameful.”It sounded to Elspeth that the woman was telling her off. Is she lecturing me?Elspeth was not quite certain, but it was clearly useless to waste her breath on her. After all, they were just strangers, and her words would not have any effect on her. With that thought, she decided to go back early to avoid making her mother worry.“Madam, I know what I’m doing, so you don’t have to worry about this.”After replying courteously, Elspeth turned around and left.The woman behind her slowly raised her head, revealing a pair of gloomy eyes. If Elspeth were to look closely at that moment, she would notice that those eyes were somewhat

familiar.…When Elspeth returned to the villa, the others were still in bed as it was still early. Only Arthur had woken up early as usual to begin his exercise.Upon seeing Elspeth returning, caked in makeup and reeking of cigarettes and alcohol from the club, he couldn’t help but frown, and he didn’t hold back as he commented, “Your getup really is ridiculous.”Even so, he firmly believed that Elspeth would not do anything that went against her morals.Elspeth played with her hair that she had specifically permed to be even curlier and asked with a smile, “What do you think? Does it look good? I purposely went to the salon for this hairstyle. Apparently, it’s the current trend.”“It doesn’t look good. I think your hair looked perfect before.”Elspeth rolled her eyes. “How tasteless.”Upon saying that, she stretched her arms and said in a drowsy voice, “You have no idea how tiring it is to stay up all night there. Although I love to party, I’ve never pulled an all-nighter. Tch, I just want to hit the sack after spending an entire night there.”She kicked off her sky-high stilettos, freeing her feet before she took off her cropped jacket and headed upstairs in nothing but a slip dress.As Arthur watched her swaying figure, the light in his eyes gradually darkened. What should I do now? He suddenly found it hard to let her go.Just then, his phone rang. As he looked at the familiar name on the screen, his lips curled up into a smile before he picked up. “Emma, do you need anything?”
