Chapter 42 Debunking

Elspeth tapped her chin and pondered aloud, “So, are you trying to rope me in?”

“Haha!” Houston laughed. “You never let me down.” He took his business card, placed it on the table, and slowly pushed it toward her.

“Miss Lynwood, I admire your ability and think you should not be limited to just the title of a director. Isn’t it nice if you could have the title ‘Vice President’ printed on your card?”

Houston left, and Elspeth was left alone in her thoughts.

Vice President… Houston is so greedy. He is eyeing the position of president.

When she returned home at night, everyone had gone to bed except Callum, who was sitting alone in the living room reading documents. She stretched her body lazily, sat next to him, and asked, “How’s your hand?”

“It’s fine,” he answered dispassionately, but his hand that was flipping through the pages paused for a moment.

She didn’t believe him and wanted to look at his hand for herself, but he dodged her.

“Just let me see it,” she muttered.

He quickly changed the subject. “What did Houston say to you today?”

She leaned back on the couch and curled her lips into a smirk. “What do you think?”

“To rope you in.”

Elspeth rolled her eyes and pouted. “How boring.”

Callum ignored her reaction and asked solemnly, “What are you planning to do?”

“What am I planning?” Elspeth looked at his eyes and smirked in amusement. “I’m gonna accept his offer, of course! He promised to make me the vice president. Only a fool would reject such a lucrative deal.”
