Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me?

Chapter 39 Someone Is Following Us

Elspeth glared at Linda coldly. “Is that why you hacked everyone’s computer and framed me for it?

You’re awful. Now, not only will you never be promoted as the supervisor, you’ll be fired.”

She turned and looked at her assistant. “Inform Mr. Winthrop that a person has jeopardized the

company’s security, and I request for his presence.”

The moment Linda heard that Callum would be arriving, she immediately lost her arrogance and

slumped to the floor dejectedly.

When he came, he saw Elspeth sitting on the chair, watching the drama unfold with amusement, while

Linda squatted on the ground and bawled.

Elspeth chuckled. “Mr. Winthrop, your good old employee tried to set me up, and I exposed her tricks.

What do you think should be done?”

“I understand. I’ll be firing her according to the company’s regulations.” There was no warmth in his

voice.

Linda lunged forward and hugged Callum’s thigh while sobbing, “No, Mr. Winthrop, please don’t fire me!

I’ve been working here for so many years. I don’t want to leave. Please forgive me! Please!”

“I’ll give you one second to release me, or it won’t be as simple as you being fired.” The temperature

around Callum plummeted at her actions.

Linda knew what he was capable of, so she hastily backpedaled.

The farce ended with her leaving the company in an utter mess. After the farce was over, Elspeth looked

at her colleagues and smiled. “Don’t worry about your computers. I’ll restore them now.”

“You’re amazing!” The colleagues were so astonished that their jaws dropped. She was already a perfect

woman; now, they discovered that she could even crack computer viruses! Was there anything that she

couldn’t do?

Elspeth smiled faintly. “I’ll recreate a code on my computer and transfer it to yours. Everything will be

fine. Don’t worry.”

“Elspeth, where did you learn how to crack computer viruses? It’s so cool!” The male colleagues had

gathered around her and were full of awe. She looked exactly like the hackers in the movies! It was

amazing!

“I learned some tricks from a foreigner while abroad a few years ago.” She smiled bashfully. “It’s nothing

great.”

It was like Elspeth’s fan meeting at this moment, but Callum felt irritated when he saw the scene. “Don’t

you have work to do? Hurry up and return to your seats! If you don’t return to your seats, you can kiss

your one month’s salary goodbye!” He rebuked austerely. The male employees hunched in themselves

and scurried to their seats.

She giggled at his cold demeanor. “Are you jealous?”

“Don’t you have work to do?”

“Ooh, you’re so fierce. I’m scared. It’s true that men always speak with tongue in cheek.”

Callum glanced at her lightly, and a subtle emotion flashed across his eyes. “You’re a hacker.”

Everyone thought that Elspeth only knew a thing or two about this, not him. Only the best hackers could

easily crack the virus and restore the computers to their previous state.

She shrugged and didn’t bother hiding the fact. “Oops, you found out about it. Awkward.”

“You’re awesome.”

“Nah, there are others who are better than me.” After she said this, she gracefully returned to her seat.

When Elspeth got off work and was ready to take a cab home in the evening, someone blocked her way.

It was none other than Blake, whom she hadn’t seen for two days. Yet, it was something expected since

he was an actor and was busy filming on the set these days.

A bright smile appeared on his face. “Come on. I’ll take you to a place.”

“No, thanks.” Elspeth shook her head. “I have something to do later.”

“Come on, Elspeth. Let’s go. There is a place where the night scene is particularly breathtaking. You’ll

love it.”

Blake even gave the puppy eyes. Other girls certainly could not refuse his request, but she was different.

She could vaguely guess what Blake wanted to do but couldn’t accept it.

“No, I don’t want to.”

“Come home with me.” Callum appeared out of nowhere and parked his car on the roadside.

The scenario became somewhat awkward all of a sudden. She stood between two cars, not knowing

which way to go.

“Callum, I asked her out first. So, you can’t snatch her from me,” the agitated Blake complained with a

raised voice.

Nevertheless, Callum remained indifferent and composed. “We have a project to discuss. Come on.” It

sounded as if he was ordering her, but the reason behind the demand was impeccable.

Elspeth gritted her teeth, apologized to Blake timidly, and got into Callum’s car.

“Hey! Elspeth! Wait!”

Callum ignored him and drove away.

She didn’t know what to say on the way, and she felt a little apprehensive as she looked at his prominent

side profile.

“Callum.”

“It’s not a big deal.”

Both of them spoke at the same time. She was startled by it and was forced to swallow back her words.

After a long silence, he took the initiative to say, “Didn’t I tell you to keep a distance from Blake? You’ll

get yourself in trouble.”

“I didn’t do anything.” His words stupefied Elspeth.

“Try not to go out alone with Blake. You guys just shot commercials as a couple. If someone took photos

of you in private, we would face a PR blunder.” Callum frowned in displeasure.

Elspeth nodded in agreement and looked out the window. Suddenly, she noticed a car was following

them while keeping a moderate distance, and the car’s speed would change according to their pace.

“Hey, I think that car is…”

“I know.” Callum said seriously, “I see it too.”

The Winthrop Family’s residence was located in the suburbs, and they were now driving on a deserted

path. It was likely that there would be some kind of accident.

He stepped on the accelerator to speed up. Sure enough, the car behind them also sped up, and they

began a high-speed chase.

“Watch out!” Elspeth was a little anxious. The speed they were driving was worrying and dangerous.

“Don’t worry.”

Despite that, he drove the car smoothly, but the driver behind them had excellent driving skills, too, and

almost caught up with them.

Next, the car behind them accelerated, overtook Callum’s car and blocked their way.

“Callum Winthrop! Get out of the car!”

The people from that car got out of the car and yelled at him. He knew they were after him, so he turned

and said, “They’re here because of me. I’ll distract their attention later. Leave as soon as possible.”

“Do you think I’ll leave you alone under such circumstances?” Elspeth’s glance was earnest. “You saved

me so many times. How can I do that to you?”

“Elspeth!” Callum frowned, and his tone became stern. “Stop messing around.”

She chuckled and flexed her wrist. “If you think of me as a weak and useless woman, you’re dead

wrong.”

He looked at her confident face and felt a different emotion growing within his heart.
