Sweetheart Do You Still Love Me novel Chapter 371

Chapter 371 Forgot to Switch Accounts

"I came all the way here to pick you up, Elsie. I had to drive several dozen miles, you know. Just do me the honor and allow me to drive you to work."

Jethro stood in Elspeth's path and smiled innocently at her.

Elspeth couldn't go forward. He towered above her, so she had to crane her neck upward. She felt quite displeased as she declared, "I'm not taking your car. What if something happens along the way again? You'd make me late for work. It'd be safer for me to drive my own car."

Yet, Jethro's eyes sparkled when he heard what she said.

"You own a car, Elsie? That's great. You can drive me to work then."

Elspeth scoffed. "You want me to drive you to work? Who do you think you are that I'd drive you to work?"

"How about this? You can drive my car and take me to work."

Jethro reached into the car and fished out the keys. "Here. Take this."

"You take it. I'm leaving."

Elspeth tossed the keys back to him.

As he quickly reached out to catch the keys, she scrambled out of the way and walked off at once.

Jethro had no choice but to watch her leave before slinking back into his car in defeat.

Once Elspeth arrived at the company, she thought the whole thing would have come to an end, so she didn't expect Jethro to be just as difficult to shrug off as ever.

It was regular working hours and the office was full of people.

Elspeth's office was in the deepest part of the building.

Jethro strode straight over to her office in full confidence, and under everyone's startled gazes, he breezily closed the door behind him.

In his opinion, the way to win a girl's heart was to be determined and unrelenting.

Elspeth was frazzled to see him sitting on her couch and playing on his phone with his feet propped up. "It's regular working hours right now and you're an employee at my company, so shouldn't you be working?"

"My job is simple, Elsie. I just have to do a live stream."

"That's right, so aren't you supposed to start a live stream? Why aren't you doing it?" Elspeth urged when she saw that he had no intention of moving.

Jethro waved his phone and said with a smile, "I'm doing it now, aren't I?"

Elspeth checked his phone and saw the mobile game he was playing.

"You're playing a game."

He didn't even seem ashamed by that.

"A live stream of my game is still a live stream, right?"

Elspeth didn't expect him to be this infuriating. She gritted her teeth and declared, "The company designated you to be a lifestyle streamer, not a gaming streamer!"

"Well, I'm streaming now, aren't I?"

Since Jethro's character was temporarily dead in the game, he switched out of the window.

"See? I'm streaming, aren't I?"

Elspeth was taken aback. She used her phone to check his live stream.

As soon as she joined the stream, she saw that the comments section was blowing up.

'Oh my god! Who was that?'

'Why was there a woman's voice in MyLord's stream? Could it be his girlfriend?'

My lord… Elspeth's lips twitched. She didn't think Jethro would give himself such a nickname.

'It can't be. Didn't you hear what he said just now? That's his boss.'

'Who said that his boss can't be his girlfriend? Have you ever seen MyLord being this gentle with a girl?'

'It can't be… It can't be! I don't want to get my heart broken so soon. I just discovered a streamer that I like! He's so cute and handsome, and he doesn't put on airs either…'

'Hang on. Look, everyone. Don't you think there's something strange about the newcomer's ID?'

The moment Elspeth saw this comment, she immediately checked her ID.

Elsie!

Shoot! I forgot to switch accounts!

'Oh, my goodness! I checked the profile and it really is Elsie, the e-sports expert!'

'Are you sure about that? Did you check the number of followers?'

'The account has 90 million followers! I can't misread that!'

Elspeth was stuck. It would be too weird if she left the stream now, so she decided to take it in stride and type out a greeting. 'Hi.'

Might as well use this chance to give this kid a boost in popularity.

'What the hell? She typed something!'

"Hang on. I remember that Elise's real identity is Elspeth Lynwood, the CEO of Azure Corporation!'

'Isn't Elspeth Lynwood dead? Did she come back to life?'

Coming back to life is a bit too ludicrous.

Elspeth wiped the sweat off her brow and slowly tapped out a response. 'Well, I didn't die.'

Ever since she got back to the country, she had been meaning to officially announce that she was still alive, but she hadn't planned on doing it in such an absurd way.

Things occurred in mysterious ways sometimes.

'Elspeth Lynwood is alive after all! That's great news!'

'I cried for ages when I heard she was dead! I didn't think my tears had been for nothing.'

Elspeth chuckled dryly. 'It's fine. You can save your tears for next time.'

'Hahahaha…'

The viewers' sorrow turned to amusement.

Just then, Jethro finished his game. He had gotten an easy victory and was chosen as MVP as well.

After seeing the lively conversation happening in the comments, he became excited as well.

Thus, he typed out something on his screen.

'Are you interested in seeing a match between Elspeth and me?'

Matches were thrilling enough as it was, and who wouldn't want to watch a match between Elsie, the e-sports expert who was once the top in the industry, and MyLord, the latest up-and-coming streamer?

The response from the audience was unanimous.

'Yes!'

'It has been so long since Elspeth last posted a video of her games, and she hasn't played any matches either. Do you think she'll lose?'

'What are you talking about? My goddess was the most incredible player back then. She defeated every single one of her opponents! Why would her skills get rusty so soon?'

'Let's place our bets! I'm betting on MyLord winning!'

'I think Elspeth will win!'

Elspeth wasn't interested in accepting the match, and when she read their flurried comments, she pulled a long face and typed her response.

'Placing bets, huh? Watch it, or the moderators might ban you.'

Jethro couldn't help but chuckle when he saw this.

He tapped away on the screen and made Elspeth a moderator for his channel.

"What's the matter? Are you too afraid to accept the challenge?"

"I'm not afraid. I'm just worried that you'd lose all interest in games if you lost too badly to me. What if you end up quitting games altogether?"

Even professional gamers lost to Elspeth, let alone an unknown kid who had only been playing for a short while.

"I played professionally, you know. Why would I let you defeat me so easily?"

Elspeth snorted. "You only took part in the training for a few days. Do you think that makes you a professional gamer?"

Jethro cocked his eyebrow. "Well, tell me whether you have the guts to play a match against me or not then."

Truth be told, Elspeth didn't care about the game. It meant nothing to her.

However, when she saw his sparkling eyes that were lit up with hope, she didn't want to put him down.

Well, I'll just defeat him in the game then!

"Fine. I accept the challenge."
