Love's perfect match novel (Elspeth and Callum) novel Chapter 36

Chapter 36 False Accusation of Intentional Injury

Blake came to Winthrop Group a few days later. He leaned against the door of the president’s office and smiled leisurely. “Callum, I have contacted all the female celebrities who are free recently, but either their images do not fit the model, or they don’t want to be the model. There is no suitable candidate.”

Callum donned a cold expression. “We don’t have to shoot the commercials.”

“What? No!” Blake frowned. “How can you do that? We have agreed on this, so you can’t go back on your words.”

“I’ll pay you the advertising fee, but you don’t have to shoot the commercials.”

There was a clause that Elspeth needed help understanding, so she went to Callum’s office. Just as she was about to knock on the door, she heard their conversation, and a complex emotion surged within her.

“Hi, Elspeth!” Blake immediately went to her and beamed happily. “I can’t find a suitable candidate for the commercial. You promised you would do it with me if I can’t find someone suitable.”

Her lips twitched in response to his eagerness, but when she looked at Callum, who looked irate and chafed, she didn’t know what to say.

“Don’t worry about him. He’s agreed to let us shoot the commercials together.”

“I didn’t say that,” Callum snapped coldly.

“In that case, why don’t I give it a try?”

The celebrities’ efficacy in promoting the jewelry was the way to ease Winthrop Group’s intervention into the jewelry business and achieve the first victory. Elspeth did not want to give up this plan easily, so she looked at Callum carefully.

Since he did not give her any adverse reaction, she tried again, “This is for the company’s sake. It’s quite a good plan, actually.”

Callum remained silent for a long while, and finally, he mumbled a quiet ‘Okay’ as an approval.

With his approval, they could carry out the commercial smoothly. So, Blake postponed his new drama’s shooting and focused on the jewelry commercial.

The shooting location was not in the office but on a large outdoor lawn.

Callum personally came to oversee the shooting progress. He disguised his true intention by stating that he was only there to supervise them in case something might go wrong. It was inevitable for Blake and Elspeth to pose intimately during the process. Both models were in character and utterly immersed in the atmosphere. Thus, they overlooked the gloomy and grumpy Callum.

After the first scene, Elspeth went to grab a drink of water when she heard his flat and cold voice, “Good job.”

She was surprised that he was there, so she quickly turned her head and saw him standing on the side. There were some indefinable emotions in his eyes as she asked, “Why are you here?”

He cleared his throat and said, “As the president of Winthrop Group, I need to pay attention to any activities that my company conducts, including commercial shoots.”

She nodded as his reason seemed plausible. Then, when she saw Blake walking toward them, she handed a bottle of water to him. “Here, drink some water.”

After Blake unscrewed the cap and took a sip, he taunted. “Callum, I didn’t expect you to come over to watch this boring stuff.”

“Can’t I come?” Callum narrowed his eyes.

Blake laughed out loud. “Hey, I’ve been shooting a lot of commercials for the company. You wouldn’t come no matter how I begged you to, but you decided to show up out of the blue this time. What a rare sight.”

Then, he squinted and said curiously, “Wait a minute. Are you here because of Elspeth? Wow, I can’t imagine that you actually have fallen for a woman.”

Callum glared at him and hissed under his breath, “You talk a little too much.”
