Hiding Behind Her Superficiality novel Chapter 124

Chapter 124

Did the call that went on the air and was hung up in an instant woke him up? If that were the case, it meant that Callum was genuinely careful and considerate…

Pfft! Caring, my butt!

“I’m glad you’re okay.”

Looking at Callum’s face, Elspeth suddenly had an idea. “Callum.”

Her clear voice swiftly pulled his gaze to her.

He didn’t say anything as he gazed at her, but his heart was already thundering away.

This was the first time in forever that she took the initiative to start a conversation with him.

Blake offended the director because of me. Things may get difficult in the future.” Her eyes sparkled. “Hence, that is why I would like to ask you for a favor.”

“Tell me. What is it?”

Elspeth let out a sly grin. “You’re a wealthy and generous man, Mr. Winthrop. Surely you have a few million you can spare, right?”

Being the smart person that Callum was, he immediately understood what she meant. “Why? Do you want me to pay for Blake’s liquidated damages?”

“A-ha! What a coincidence. Great minds do think alike.”

“What are you going to do after that, though?” His quirked brows were enough to show how much he wanted to probe. “Are you going to let Blake be a vagrant?”

Naturally, she was confident enough to reassure him. “I have other ideas, of course. I want Blake to sign with Luminous instead. You don’t have to worry about this. I can help Blake with the arrangement. But before that, you need to help Blake with his so-called redemption.”

“Luminous? Are you talking about the company that has produced countless movie stars?”

Whenever there were nominations for awards, Luminous Entertainment would always have the largest number of artists nominated.

Callum couldn’t help cheering up as he looked at her. He knew that a corner of her long-frozen heart had begun to melt.

“Sure, but I need you to agree to one condition.” Callum’s tone grew solemn as he stated his intention. “I want you to come back to the Winthrop Group. Also, you have to move back to the Winthrop Residence today.”

Blake, who was beside them, was the first to voice his disapproval. “No can do, Callum. Elspeth is my manager. How can you tell her to return to the Winthrop Group? What am I supposed to do if she’s gone?”.

Callum’s cold gaze swiftly darted in his direction. “You’re near unemployment. Do you want Elspeth to starve with you?”

He would never allow Elspeth to have anything to do with Blake after this.

Blake immediately shrank back and shut his mouth when he was reprimanded.

“Today?”

Elspeth noticed how Callum was the type of person to take a mile when given an inch. Not only was he forcing her, but he was also making decisions for her concerning her time.

Il terminate Blake’s contract when you move back to the Winthrop Residence.”

A few million was neither too big nor too small an amount. Callum could just treat it as the price for a lesson

learned.

“Alright. I’ll move soon. Just let me pack up before I go.”

He casually replied, “You don’t have to pack. There’s everything you need in the Winthrop Residence.”

“I still need to bring all my clothes!”

“It’s alright. I’ll get you new clothes.”

Saying that he was eager to bring her home was an understatement.

“As wealthy and generous as you may be, there is no need for you to spend money this way.”

Upon seeing this, Callum no longer insisted and only nonchalantly offered, “I’ll send you back so that you can start packing.”
