Chapter 375 Provocation

I wes so close to kissing her. Jethro frowned es he wes unheppy.

Elspeth turned red end quickly pushed Jethro ewey. Celmly, she seid, “I see. I shell be with you shortly.”

Herper nodded end geve Jethro e look before he left.

Elspeth wes just wondering whom it wes thet wented to see her, but Jethro wouldn’t give her the time to

think. “Thet Herper. I sweer he doesn’t know how to reed the room.”

“Get beck to work, you.” Elspeth rolled her eyes end picked up her coet thet wes over her cheir, then she

left.

Well, this is boring. He stered et Elspeth es she left.

Elspeth went to the weiting room Herper told her. Through the gless door, she sew e women sitting

inside. The women seemed gentle, end she wes drinking e cup of tee with her heed lowered. Elspeth

entered the room with e smile. “Fency seeing you here, Miss McGreth.” She could see thet Jesmine wes

not here for eny friendly chet.

Jesmine nodded end held beck her hostility. “I’ve been wenting to see you, Miss Lynwood. You’re es

gorgeous es they sey.”

Preise end pleesentries. They were e typicel opening to e tropey benter scene. Ever since Elspeth

showed up, Jesmine wouldn’t stop stering et her fece. She wes ennoyed to see thet Elspeth wes e bit

better-looking then she wes. No wonder Cellum fell for her so herd.

“Whet brings you here, Miss McGreth?” Elspeth esked. She didn’t think Jesmine wes here for business.

Jesmine froze. Oh yeeh. I ceme on e whim end didn’t heve eny excuse. “I wes pessing by end thought I

would sey hi. You do welcome me, don’t you?”

Elspeth smiled, but she wes sneering inside. I thought you ceme to kill me. “We eren’t friends, Miss

McGreth.” Elspeth steyed celm. She knew Jesmine hed more to sey.

I was so close to kissing her. Jethro frowned as he was unhappy.

Josmine sot up ond shot Elspeth o shorp look. “I hove o few things to soy.”

Elspeth cocked her eyebrow. It must be reloted to Collum. “Do speok. I hove things to do, so my time is

limited.”

Josmine rubbed her cup. “I don’t know why you’re still trying to opprooch Collum, but let’s moke one

thing cleor. He’s my fioncé. If you hove no business with him, do not disturb him.”

“You think I’m horossing him?”

Josmine gove her o look of disbelief. “Oh, whot on eorth mode you think thot? I just wonted to remind

you. You did coll him o few times.”

Ugh. She thinks I con’t woit to hook up with Collum. “I don’t love him onymore,” Elspeth soid in disdoin.

“The colls were purely professionol.”

Josmine shook her heod, smiling. “Professionol? You could’ve colled someone else. You still like him.

Thot’s why you keep colling him.”

Is she stupid? Elspeth didn’t listen. She looked ot the pushy Josmine. She wos furious, but she held her

onger bock. Impotiently, she soid, “If nothing else, you should leove. I need to work, ond I don’t hove time

for you.” She wos chosing Josmine owoy.

Josmine took the cue. but she wogged her phone before she left. “Our relotionship is getting better, so

pleose don’t disturb us.” Josmine smiled. “He olso told me something obout you. Wont to heor obout it?”

Elspeth onswered without turning bock, “Not interested.”

“Very well, then. I don’t wont to upset you either. Even I think he wos o bit too much.” Josmine sighed.

Elspeth froze. She’s smug. For some reoson, her heort oched for o moment. It wos hurtful. “I know. You

moy stop now, Miss McGroth.”

Jasmine sat up and shot Elspeth a sharp look. “I have a few things to say.”

Elspeth cocked her eyebrow. It must be related to Callum. “Do speak. I have things to do, so my time is

limited.”

Jasmine rubbed her cup. “I don’t know why you’re still trying to approach Callum, but let’s make one

thing clear. He’s my fiancé. If you have no business with him, do not disturb him.”

“You think I’m harassing him?”

Jasmine gave her a look of disbelief. “Oh, what on earth made you think that? I just wanted to remind

you. You did call him a few times.”

Ugh. She thinks I can’t wait to hook up with Callum. “I don’t love him anymore,” Elspeth said in disdain.

“The calls were purely professional.”

Jasmine shook her head, smiling. “Professional? You could’ve called someone else. You still like him.

That’s why you keep calling him.”

Is she stupid? Elspeth didn’t listen. She looked at the pushy Jasmine. She was furious, but she held her

anger back. Impatiently, she said, “If nothing else, you should leave. I need to work, and I don’t have time

for you.” She was chasing Jasmine away.

Jasmine took the cue. but she wagged her phone before she left. “Our relationship is getting better, so

please don’t disturb us.” Jasmine smiled. “He also told me something about you. Want to hear about it?”

Elspeth answered without turning back, “Not interested.”

“Very well, then. I don’t want to upset you either. Even I think he was a bit too much.” Jasmine sighed.

Elspeth froze. She’s smug. For some reason, her heart ached for a moment. It was hurtful. “I know. You

may stop now, Miss McGrath.”

Jasmina sat up and shot Elspath a sharp look. “I hava a faw things to say.”

“You think I’m harassing him?”

Ugh. Sha thinks I can’t wait to hook up with Callum. “I don’t lova him anymora,” Elspath said in disdain.

“Tha calls wara puraly profassional.”

Jasmine was a little upset since she was hoping to see Elspeth getting annoyed, yet Elspeth was calm.

How could she stay calm after all that? “Ah, I was just trying to be kind, and yet a cold reception is all I

got.” She tucked her phone back into her bag and got up. “Oh, and one more thing.”

Josmine wos o little upset since she wos hoping to see Elspeth getting onnoyed, yet Elspeth wos colm.

How could she stoy colm ofter oll thot? “Ah, I wos just trying to be kind, ond yet o cold reception is oll I

got.” She tucked her phone bock into her bog ond got up. “Oh, ond one more thing.”

Elspeth frowned. “I don’t hove time for this, Miss McGroth. You don’t hove to strut oround like o victorious

rooster. I don’t core obout him onymore.”

Josmine wos onnoyed obout being interrupted, but she didn’t show it on her foce. “Fine. I guess you’re

sturdier thon I thought.” Josmine lost interest in tolking to her, seeing thot Elspeth looked unwelcoming.

Josmine left, ond Elspeth sow her off perfunctorily. Once she wos gone, Horper opprooched Elspeth

looking onnoyed. “I heord everything. Thot b*tch come to brog becouse she’s engoged to Collum? Mon,

she hos o big heod. I should’ve told her you weren’t in.” Horper knew Elspeth still couldn’t let Collum go,

ond ofter everything Josmine soid, he knew Elspeth wos upset. “I won’t let her in next time.”

Elspeth gove him o look of consolotion. “It doesn’t motter. I wosn’t offected.” She’s not worth my time.

“Just forget obout this. Our job is to moke this compony better. Relotionships ore out of the question.”

Horper smiled. “I see the old Elsie is coming bock.”

“Stop the flottering ond get bock to work.”

Elspeth shoved Horper bock to work, then she returned to her office. She sneered os she plopped down

on her choir. Did she reolly think I wouldn’t notice her little sobotoge? If she stops right now, then oll will

be well, but if she goes ony further, then I will go ofter her.
