Chapter 154

Elspeth blushed after being questioned. As she looked at the solemn Callum, she replied nonchalantly, “Mm.” Since Callum was observant, she dared not lie to him.

“I was worried that you might think I have an ulterior motive… Would you let me stay at Winthrop Group if you found out about my identity?”

“Yes,” Callum replied without hesitation.

“Alright, I’ll admit that I was being narrow-minded.”

However, Callum’s expression remained solemn. “So, what are your plans after revealing your identity?” He was worried that she would leave Winthrop Group after her identity as the president of Azure Corporation was revealed.

“Don’t worry about that. I won’t go back to Azure Corporation.” Elspeth couldn’t help but chuckle after figuring out what he was concerned about. Callum’s grave expression finally brightened up by a tad.

“Earlier on, you mentioned that Winthrop Group will belong to me. Do you still mean it?” Elspeth teased him when she saw how grim his expression was. She was trying to lighten the mood, but Callum took it seriously.

Of course, Callum wouldn’t hand it over to her just like that. As he stood up, he replied nonchalantly, “Winthrop Group will be yours if you get engaged to me.”

“Callum, doesn’t it occur to you that you might be asking for trouble?” she asked in surprise as she had never seen such an upfront person that would give his established company away as promised.

“I can start another company after giving it away but where can I find another wife after she has left me?” Callum smiled.
