Hearing Callum’s voice, Elspeth rejected, “No, thanks. I’m having lunch outside with Mr. Beischel.” After
hanging up, Albert, who was sitting opposite her, smiled. He did not like listening to gossip, so he only
found out from Elspeth herself as to why she came to the company. “Elsie, I’ve seen all five young
masters of the Winthrop Family. If I had to choose, I think Callum is the most excellent of the five. He’s
gotten a lot of big projects in the years since he became president. Plus, he’s calm and has an
excellent personality. I think you can consider him.” Elspeth was drinking water and immediately
refused, “No, no, no. Mr. Beischel. I don’t think there’s anything to consider about an iceberg like him.”
To her, Callum had a cold personality and what she said this morning was only to piss him off. Albert

returned to the company and she continued staying in the security booth for the whole afternoon. When
Callum finished his afternoon meeting, he asked his assistant and was told that Elspeth was still at the
security booth. And this woman says she likes me the most? Now that she’s at the company with me, she spends all day with the security guard? What trick is she playing? Sitting at his desk, he stayed
silent for two seconds before ordering, “Do a check on Albert Beischel’s background and find out his
relationship with Elspeth.” “Yes, Mr. Winthrop.” The assistant had just turned around when he added,
“Bring Elspeth over.” A while later, Elspeth arrived and began to observe Callum’s office before lazily
asking, “What’s the matter?” “Dad won’t like it if you stay at the security booth the whole day.” Hearing
that reason, she rolled her eyes. “Fine. It was you who called me to come here, so don’t blame me for
disturbing your work.” Once she said that, she half-heartedly sat down on the couch. Ignoring her,
Callum grabbed a file and saw that she was playing a game on the phone, which seemed to be on a
full volume, and it made him frown. Eight minutes later, the office was filled with the sounds of Elspeth
criticizing her teammates. “This game is to stay alive, not send yourself to death!” “Dude, are you using
your feet? Use your hands!” “Geez. You’re as useless as a mob! All you do is revive and nothing else!”
Callum was speechless. He thought she was criticizing the players quite elegantly because the people
she was screaming at were retaliating with curse words. At this moment, he finally regretted bringing
her to his office as her existence was purely a torture to him. Also, he began to suspect that when she
said she liked him the most, she intended to say she hated him the most. Wait, the one she hates the

most should be Max. Fortunately, after one round of the game, he managed to finish his work. Then, he
grabbed his coat, called Elspeth, and left the office. Just as they got to the doorway, Callum’s assistant
returned. Callum looked at Elspeth and said, “Wait for me at the parking lot.” She nodded and left.
Inside the office, the assistant started to report his findings. “Mr. Winthrop, Albert Beischel is indeed not
an ordinary person. He owns many properties and buildings in midtown.” To put it simply, he’s a bored old man who earns millions in rent and came here to be a security guard. “As for his relationship with
Miss Lynwood, I haven’t found anything yet.” Hearing that, Callum fell into deep thought for two
seconds. How did Elspeth get to know someone like that in Damoria? Coupled with Harper from last
night, he had a feeling that she was not as ordinary as she seemed. However, he paid no attention to it
as it did not concern him. All he needed to do was be certain that Albert did not have any ill intentions
toward her.
