Eric’s father, also known as Oil Magnate, was a middle-aged man that Elspeth accidentally saved while running an errand in the past. She just thought that saving a life was the least she could do, but she didn’t expect that the man wanted his son to be her boyfriend.

Eric initially threw a tantrum, but when he saw Elspeth’s face, he was instantly smitten. He was even willing to be her husband, let alone her boyfriend.

“I think you should just tell your father the truth. We’re not compatible, so there isn’t a chance.”

Eric let out a regretful sigh. “You’re right. I suppose we’re not meant to be together. What’s more, the man I’m infatuated with belongs to you. I’m despondent.”

Noticing Elspeth’s glare, he kept his mouth shut at once.

As usual, Callum brought Elspeth breakfast, but when he saw another man in her room, his face fell instantly.

Before Elspeth could explain, Eric had already come up with an excuse. “Mr. Winthrop, I meant to look for you, but I entered the wrong room.”

“I heard everything.” Callum pointed at the door. “You didn’t lock it.”

Just as Elspeth let out a breath of relief, Callum went on to say, “Mr. Eric, I suggest that you stop using me as an excuse. Both of us are men, so I know what you’re trying to do.”

At that moment, Eric’s expression turned awkward.

“I don’t know what you mean, Mr. Winthrop.”

Callum shot him a dispassionate glance. Eric felt dejected as the other man seemed to have seen through his mind.

“Alright, stop playing such guessing games. Aren’t we supposed to head out and have fun today?”

Callum had dressed up and brought breakfast with him. To adapt to the environment, he was clad in sportswear, making him look rather athletic.

As for Eric, he was wearing his usually flamboyant clothes.

“Do you realize that you’re the only one who isn’t ready?”

Elspeth took a look at her pajamas and realized that he was right.

“I know I’m not ready. Get out now, both of you. I have to get changed.”

Eric insisted, “We’re best friends, so there’s nothing I can’t see.”

Elspeth said through clenched teeth, “Are you leaving or not?”
