Elspeth’s words caused a ripple to spread through Lisa’s heart.
“No.”
When Elspeth heard Lisa’s awkward reply, she was in glee.
The young lady never lied, so she probably wasn’t in a relationship, but she had probably met someone she liked.
“I see.” Elspeth shrugged, then continued, “Right, I wanted to see you because I have something I need your help with. I need to look into something.”
Lisa nodded emotionlessly. “I know. Harper told me everything.”
“Good. How long do you need to figure it out?”
“Half a day.”
Elspeth narrowed her eyes. “Half a day… That can do. See me again in 12 hours.”
Lisa nodded, then walked out. Throughout the whole process, she didn’t even spare a glance at Callum.
“This subordinate of yours… is quite odd.” Callum eventually settled on this comment.
Elspeth smiled. “What’s the matter? Are you interested in this young lady?”
Even though she hadn’t said anything, he could still hear the jealousy in her tone.
She is jealous. Callum smiled as he took Elspeth into his embrace, touching her nose as he said, “What are you thinking? That’s nonsense.”
Elspeth huffed and turned around, refusing to look at him.
In the afternoon, Lisa visited again as expected.
Noticing Elspeth’s faint smile, Lisa said calmly, “I’ve looked into it. Arthur was the one behind this.”
