Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me

Chapter 78

“Huh? Oh, uh, I’m fine. My ankle just hurts so much that I felt like crying.” The woman smiled, but it looked even worse than her tears.

“Miss, I feel like I’ve seen you many times. Ever since you sent me flowers, you’ve always been so mysterious. Since we’ve met again, why don’t you tell me your name?” Elspeth sent her a small smile.

“I… The name’s Gardner.”

“Are you unable to tell me your full name, Miss? Well, that’s fine. I’ll just call you Miss Gardner from now on.”

The woman nodded without replying. After sending her to the hospital, Elspeth gave her some advice before leaving the place.

When she returned to the company, she was called to the office before she could even take a break.

“Elspeth, we called you here for a new task this time.”

Callum turned around and placed a folder on the table before languidly pushing it over. “We’re planning to design a series of angel and devil friendship bracelets, but we haven’t found a suitable ambassador yet. So, I was thinking of letting you do it instead.”

Elspeth’s eyes widened. “Why me again? Callum, I’m the director of the Design Department, not a celebrity. Why can’t you find a proper female celebrity to be the ambassador?”

Callum explained, “Because the company will be able to save a huge amount of money like this.”

Elspeth laughed. The Winthrops were mammoths in terms of their business and power, and it was impossible for them to pay any attention to a commission fee. Callum’s words sounded more like a joke to her than anything.

“Callum, are you trying to give me a hard time on purpose?”

Callum was unfazed by her question. “Of course not. I’m doing this for the sake of the company.”

Mainly, he would have more time to spend with Elspeth if she took part in the ad. After all, every time she was in the company, he had no way of talking to her other than discussing contracts.

Naturally, Elspeth had no idea what Callum was up to and was rendered speechless instead. “Shouldn’t two people be a part of the shoot for this friendship bracelet?”

“Don’t worry. I’ll find someone suitable to take the shoot with you.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Blake emerged from thin air and said, “Callum, why won’t you let me take part in this advertisement? You even made me look for an actor for you. You’re so cruel.”

Blake pouted, seeming unhappy.

“Cruel? You can’t take part in the advertisement this time; it doesn’t suit you.” Callum instantly turned him down.

However, Blake wasn’t about to give up and scooted closer to ask, “Why not? You already said that Elspeth is taking part in it this time. If she can, why can’t I? Callum, are you doing this on purpose? I already know that you confessed to Elspeth in front of Mom and Ophelia. You’re afraid that Elspeth and I would develop feelings for each other while filming, right?”

Getting frustrated by his words, Callum frowned. “Afraid? I have nothing to be afraid of.”

“Then, why won’t you let me participate in the shooting and even made me look for a woman?”

Elspeth froze. She looked at Callum, then back at Blake, before breaking out into a chortle.

“What are you laughing about?” Blake’s alluring eyes were full of confusion.

Callum took to resolving his doubts, asking, “Have you gone through the contract?”

Blake paused. He really hadn’t gone through it yet.

“It’s a friendship bracelet. What does it have to do with a man like you?”

A trace of embarrassment flashed past Blake’s face. “Ahem. Actually, I was thinking that if I’m filming with Elspeth, it won’t be impossible to cross dress…”

Elspeth was at a loss for words.

“All right, enough fooling around. About the actress, did you manage to find one?”

Blake glanced at Elspeth and nodded reluctantly. “As I was looking through the more recently popular actresses, I found that the glamorous looks you were talking about were simply impossible to find.” Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

Clearly, two different types of women were needed to play the angel and devil respectively. As Elspeth was usually innocent and bright, she suited the role of the angel, which meant that the devil should be played by someone who looked glamorous and seductive.

“Can’t find any? Then you can forget about being a celebrity. I’ll tell your company to shelve you, and you can come back and work here.”

Blake knew Callum’s methods well, and he immediately began begging for mercy. “Spare me, Callum! I’ve already said that it’s not easy to find someone. There aren’t many girls like this in the entertainment circle. Even if there are, they’re just vulgar. I can’t find anyone who’s an elegant beauty at all.”

“That doesn’t mean they don’t exist. I’ll give you one day. If you still can’t find a candidate, you can just quit your job.”

Callum issued an ultimatum, and after hearing that, Elspeth sent Blake a smile to calm him down before pointing at the news that popped up on the monitor and said indifferently, “I think she’s not bad.”

On the front cover of the news was a young girl with a sweet and pure appearance. She was the most popular star at the time, Yelena Sullivan.

“But which part of her screams seductive?”

Blake was utterly bemused. Wasn’t this a girl who was even more innocent and adorable than Elspeth?

Elspeth smiled lightly. “She’ll be playing the angel, and I’ll be the devil.”

“You don’t look like a devil to me,” Blake mumbled under his breath.

Upon seeing Elspeth’s confident and assured expression, Callum immediately calmed down. If she says so, she must have her reasons.

Without wasting a beat, he sent someone to talk to Yelena about the contract, who unexpectedly agreed immediately. After working out a date to meet, they decided on three in the afternoon that Sunday.

As Elspeth had never met this huge celebrity, who took the whole of Damoria by storm on TV, before, she was a little curious, so she went to the shooting set early. Not long after she arrived, Yelena followed suit. Unlike her innocent and lovely appearance on TV, the Yelena in front of her had an arrogant countenance, as if she were a spoiled princess.

When her eyes fell on Elspeth, she casually looked her up and down before saying languidly, “You’re Elspeth Lynwood?”

Elspeth nodded. “You’re right. That’s me.”

“I heard that you have a marriage contract with the five sons of the Winthrop Family, right?”

Yelena was still quite young, somewhere in her teens. She was a young idol but managed to become a B-list celebrity with her innocent and cute looks in less than a year. This achievement alone proved that she was rather skilled.

Elspeth nodded. “That’s right. Everyone in Damoria knows this.”

Upon seeing that there was no trace of admiration for herself on Elspeth’s face, Yelena was a little perplexed. Usually, everyone would look at her with a look of worship wherever she went. But now, why was this woman looking at her without even a hint of emotion on her face? No, she even looked a little… mischievous?

“Then, which of the five Winthrop sons do you like the most?”

Instantly, Elspeth understood what she meant. It seemed that this new idol was a secret admirer of the five Winthrop sons.
