Hiding Behind Her Superficiality

Chapter 93

On this arid night, only the sound of cicadas chirping could be heard, but Elspeth could hear her heart pounding as well. Her heart was suddenly beating so quickly because for those words to come out of Callum’s mouth, it meant that he was 100 percent serious about it.

“Okay.”

When Callum heard her answer, he couldn’t react for a second. “Didn’t you say that you will only be with me after I pursue you?”

She smiled. “If I waited for that, I don’t know how many seasons might have changed.”

She supposed he was the kind of man who knew nothing about romance. Previously, she had looked through his past with his first girlfriend, but they were all just mundane memories. They didn’t even kiss.

Hearing that, he felt strange all of a sudden. “So?” Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Meanwhile, drowsiness struck her, and she yawned, so she wanted to prepare for bed. “So, let’s sleep. It’s late already. Let’s talk about the rest later.”

Without much warning, she hung up the phone, leaving Callum feeling miserable on the other side of the

phone.

On the next day, Elspeth woke up in the early morning, and she wanted to look for Harper to discuss what they were going to do next. However, just as she entered her car and wanted to start the engine, she suddenly found out that her car was out of gas.

This was a rather remote place, so getting a cab was impossible under normal circumstances, but without a car, she couldn’t leave this place.

“Good morning, Miss Lynwood.” Jordan woke up early today too. When he saw her troubled look, he couldn’t

help but smile. “What happened, Miss Lynwood? Are you in trouble?”

“No.” Although she answered ‘no’, he could see everything.

“Has your car run out of gas? It’s okay. I have a few cars, I can lend you one.” He was pretty generous, as he

took out a car key from his pocket right away and handed it to her.

Seeing that, she took a step back. “It’s fine. Thank you.” She would need to owe him one if she borrowed his stuff, but she didn’t want anything to do with him at all.

“Don’t worry. I’m not someone who would take advantage of a person in trouble.” When he saw her reaction, he couldn’t help but chuckle. “You can take it. Don’t need to return it to me.”

“Why are you here?” After asking that, she suddenly had a bigger doubt. “How do you know I’m here?”

Without any expression, he said calmly, “Hop in. I’ll drive you.”

Yet, she didn’t react immediately as she said blankly, “What?”

“Don’t let me repeat.”

Seeing this scene unfold from the side, Jordan smiled, but with a sense of coldness. “Why do you care so much about Miss Lynwood’s life, Mr. Winthrop? Didn’t you chase her out of your house?”

“I don’t think this has anything to do with you, Mr. Carr.”

At this moment, Elspeth noticed that Callum’s expression was a little disgruntled. To avoid the awkwardness and solve the problem, she quickly entered Callum’s car.

Jordan was smiling, his smile furtive.

In the car, Elspeth was still curious about how Callum knew where she stayed and why he was there to pick her up in the early morning.

Seemingly seeing through her doubts, Callum said calmly. “This villa area is one of the Winthrop Group’s properties.”

Right, the Winthrop Group is so rich and powerful. It’s just a piece of cake for them to look into personal information. “And why did you come to pick me up?”

At this moment, an awkward expression covered his face. “You said that I don’t know how to pursue a girl. I just think driving the girl to and from work should be counted as one way.”

“Whom did you learn this from?”

After carefully thinking about it for some time, only then did he slowly answer, “Matthew.”

Last night, after he hung up the phone, he couldn’t sleep at all, so he asked the dissolute Matthew, who had

much more experience in dating, out for a drink at Luna Bar.

“You’re disturbing me this late at night and ruining my chances with the girls just to consult me on techniques to hit on girls?”

Callum gave him a death stare and corrected him, “To pursue a girl.”

“There’s not much of a difference.” Matthew leaned backward with a relaxed expression. Firstly, you need to do something to make her feel touched, like drive her to and from work, buy her some small presents, and you can also sweet talk her. All women are into that. Even when she’s a savvy woman like Elspeth. She’ll like that

ton”

“Sigh. You’re opulent, Mr. Winthrop. You can buy her anything. Even a house.”

That was the end of his memory. As he looked at Elspeth’s puzzled face, he took out a card from his bag. “This card has all the money you spent buying that villa. I’m giving you the house for free.”

When Elspeth heard that, she couldn’t help but chuckle. “Why? You have so much money that you wanted to burn some?”

Callum was stunned. I don’t think this is what Matthew meant by ‘Girls usually melt when they receive presents.

“Since you said so, I should appreciate your kindness, then.” She took the card from his hand and put it into her bag. “You can never have too much money.”

“Is there anything else you like? I can buy it for you.”

From that, she was completely convinced that Callum had no idea how to pursue a girl.

“Callum, that’s not how you pursue a girl. Since you’re here to drive me, send me to the Azure Corporation building. I need to meet Harper.”

When he heard that she needed to meet Harper again, he felt salty all of a sudden and acted strangely. “Why do

you need to meet him again? Is there anything that I can’t solve for you?”

After hearing that, Elspeth didn’t know why, but she felt speechless. Because I’m his boss! However, she just shouted that in her mind. She could only force a smile on the outside and ask, “Are you driving me there or not then? If you’re not, I’ll just go there on my own.”

Callum gave up and could only nod to agree, but he seemed quite reluctant as he purposely drove at a snail’s

pace.

In the end, the road suddenly turned congested, so he stopped the car slowly on the side of the road.

“This might take another half hour. Should I ask my assistant to fly a helicopter here?”

Elspeth was immediately stunned. Does this idea not come across as a little outrageous for him at all? “We’re in the city center, Callum. Can you think about the consequences before you do anything? Where’s your rationality?” If a helicopter appeared in the sky out of nowhere, it wouldn’t just be congestion, but an accident.

“I don’t care what other people think. I just want to send you to your destination.”

If those hopeless romantic young girls heard this, they might be infatuated at once, but that was not the case for Elspeth. She just wanted to kick Callum after hearing that. “It’s okay. I can wait. I’m not in a rush.”

“I don’t know how to pursue a girl, but I really want to treat you well. You must tell me if there’s something that I’ve done wrong.”

Suddenly, she didn’t know what to say anymore.

At once, silence engulfed them. She turned around to look outside the window, but the sound of shouting and cursing outside attracted her attention.
