Love's Perfect Match

Chapter 421 A Little Too Good at Doing Business

Yelena's eyes shone when she saw the man walking over. "Hank? What are you doing here?"

Hank couldn't help but laugh when she saw the look of surprise and slight puzzlement on her face. "I dropped by to

visit you while you're working. By the way, when can you go back to work?"

Her face immediately fell when she heard those words.

With a palm pressed against her forehead, Yelena gave Jasmine an instigative side-eye and muttered, "I would like

to go back earlier, but you need to know that there is a little b*tch here who keeps showing off and delaying the

shooting just because she is the investor's fiancée. Goodness! I'm about to get a headache at this rate."

She didn't mention whom she was talking about, but everyone knew she was referring to Jasmine.

Jasmine, especially, had a dark expression when she heard those sarcastic remarks secretly made about herself.

"Yelena, I won't hold back anymore if you keep on with your nonsense!"

Yelena glared at her and snorted. "Oh? Why did you stop pretending to be a goody two shoes? Weren't you weakly

calling Callum to help you just a second ago?"

Hank immediately understood what was happening and he chuckled. "So, this is Mr. Winthrop's fiancée. Now that

I'm meeting you for the first time, you seem somewhat… impertinent."

This was not Jasmine's first time hearing that word, but it definitely was the first time she heard someone use it to

describe her.

Immediately, she pointed at Hank's nose and spat, "I don't know who the hell you are, but I won't let you off the

hook for standing on Yelena's side and blatantly spouting nonsense!"

Hank, who was a tall man with a cold aura, remained indifferent even when she pointed at him. He only quietly

watched her make a fool of herself.

Callum was the one who came to them and stopped the argument at last. "Enough, Jasmine. Stop messing around."

He basically put an end to the situation with those words alone.

Jasmine couldn't help but feel wronged. She couldn't put a name to what she was feeling. She was the one who was

pushed to the ground at the beginning but now, she had turned into the person who was 'messing around'!

However, she knew she couldn't continue acting unlike her image and embarrassing herself under everyone's

watchful eyes.

She finally shut her mouth and fell silent.

"I apologize for the shameful display, Mr. Damazio," Callum casually uttered for formality's sake. His attitude toward

Hank was not very enthusiastic.

No matter how unreasonable Jasmine was, Callum was the one who brought her along, after all. He didn't say

anything else because scolding her would be equivalent to embarrassing himself.

Hank slightly nodded in return. He didn't seem very interested in Callum, who was renowned in Damoria. Instead,

he turned his attention to Yelena. "Why didn't you tell me anything about you being bullied?"

Yelena rolled her eyes and let out another helpless sigh. "What's the point? Not to mention that the person who is

being bullied is Elspeth, not me. Ha! I really can't figure it out. Jasmine has picked on Elspeth a few times now. I

wonder if someone is fueling the flames behind the scenes."

Her voice was neither too loud nor too soft, but it was just enough to reach the ears of everyone nearby.

Jasmine knew Yelena was talking about her as soon as she heard it.

Hank glanced at Elspeth, who was completely fine with being left out of the conversation as she stood off to one

side. With a smile, he commented, "Look at how calm and collected she is. You, on the other hand… You keep

wanting to stand up for her, but really, to let his current fiancée pick on his ex-fiancée… Mr. Winthrop's not very

kind, is he?"

Yelena and he started to have a discussion right there and then.

Callum had never bothered to get involved with verbal disputes like this and he didn't have the intention to stay

here any longer. As such, he didn't say anything when he turned around and left.

Jasmine's filming was not yet over. Now that Callum had left suddenly without saying a word, she could only stand

there and wait. It felt extremely awkward for her to suddenly stand there without anyone to support her.

Elspeth's the reason everything turned out this way! I wouldn't have to suffer so much if not for her! She

immediately threw a sharp look at Elspeth and glared at her like she wanted to cut the woman's face.

Elspeth naturally noticed the sinister gaze. She raised her hand to ruffle her hair as she asked in a neutral tone,

"What's wrong? You seem dissatisfied. Should we check the surveillance footage?"

Jasmine's heart swiftly fell to her stomach when she heard the last two words.

"No! I only wanted to ask when we will resume shooting."

Elspeth covered her mouth with her hands and let out a surprised expression. "How unexpected! The arrogant Miss

McGrath from before now wants to hurry it up, eh?"

Those thorny words almost made Jasmine lose her cool, but she couldn't do anything.

However, making progress on the shooting was indeed their priority now. Not wanting to spend another second

making fun of Jasmine, Elspeth waved her hand and started the shoot.

Jasmine and Yelena were the first ones to be filmed. With Elspeth and Hank staring at them, Jasmine didn't dare to

make any more silly mistakes. She obediently finished filming everything before long.

After that, she came up with an excuse and quickly left the place where she had embarrassed herself.

Aldea and Agnes weren't a problem either. They quickly ended the shoot as they were both professional.

Elspeth, Hank, and Yelena were the only ones left after the session ended.

He lowered his head and stared at the seemingly absent-minded Yelena. "How about I take you out for a meal?" he

asked with a smile.

Yelena shook her head and tugged on Elspeth's arm. "I promised Elspeth I'd buy her a meal."

He promptly suggested without a change in his expression, "The three of us can go together, then."

He was determined to stick to Yelena.

Elspeth held her forehead helplessly. She was just about to come up with an excuse to leave first when she received

that pitiful, pleading look from Yelena.

She seemed to be begging Elspeth to wait for her and not leave with her eyes.

Seeing this, Elspeth could only give a small hum of agreement.

And so, the lovey-dovey bubble Hank imagined himself and Yelena to be in was now illuminated by an additional

lightbulb.

The three of them then set off to a Juranian restaurant nearby.

Hank only brought up the purpose of his visit when they were eating. "I found a prospective solution to deal with the

charges against your company."

He looked rather nonchalant when he mentioned this and yet, he sounded completely convincing.

Yelena was also influenced by his demeanor as she asked in a relaxed manner, "How's the investigation going?"

Hank picked up the cup of tea on the sandalwood table and took a sip. "Nothing much. I've found a way to keep the

company from being sued."

"It's done? Just like that?" Yelena's eyes went wide.

"Yup. You can tell your father that he can run his company like usual."

Yelena couldn't help thinking how mysterious this whole thing was.

After all, Hank had solved this problem despite not having any contact with anyone from the Sullivan Corporation.

I'm not doubting his business capabilities, but isn't this kind of insane? It's outrageous! she mused.
