Chapter 56 The Way of Making Tea

“Thank you for your admiration, Mr. Carr. I hope that you don’t only take interest in me, but also Winthrop Group.” Her words resolved the awkwardness between them.

Jordan smiled in reply. “Sure.”

After dealing with Jordan, Elspeth booked the earliest flight back. She went back to Winthrop Group first and was going to take a few days off to settle the problem with Azure Corporation, but she bumped into Callum head-on.

“Elspeth,” Callum called out to her first.

“Hey, shouldn’t you be reuniting with your first love now? Why are you here?”

Elspeth felt annoyed when she saw his nonchalant expression as if nothing had happened. In that instant, she couldn’t hold back her anger.

“No. It’s not what you think.”

When he returned in a rush the other day, Arthur informed him that he saw the wrong person. Emma wasn’t back yet.

Moreover, the reason he left in such a hurry was not to relive the memories he had with Emma, but because he had a doubt that hadn’t been answered for several years, so he needed to face Emma to untie his knot.

Just as Callum was about to explain the situation, he was interrupted by Elspeth. “You don’t owe me an explanation, Mr. Winthrop. I don’t have time to talk to you about your old lover right now.” Leaving him with that, Elspeth went to the HR department to request leave without looking back.

Looking at her resolute back, Callum felt ripples in his heart. Coincidentally, his phone rang at that time. The moment he saw the screen displaying Jordan’s name, he couldn’t help but feel irritated. Connecting the call, he heard Jordan saying, “Did you receive the contract, Mr. Winthrop?”

Callum knitted his brows. “What contract?”

“Didn’t Miss Lynwood tell you? If it wasn’t for Miss Lynwood’s sincere desire to cooperate with NK Group, the cooperation might have been delayed for a long time… Weren’t you aware of that?”
