Without saying a word, Callum put the phone on mute and turned around to look at Elspeth behind him, who of course recognized whom the voice belonged to. Sitting on the edge of the bed, she instantly pulled a long face. “Coming all the way here after you, eh? Seems like she’s really not gonna give up on you.”
Jealous as she sounded, her response pleased Callum very much. He smilingly lifted a lock of her hair and toyed with it in his hand. “What’s the matter? Are you being jealous?”
Elspeth smacked his hand away with a hard slap. Smoothing her hair with her fingers, she retorted sarcastically, “How could I dare to be jealous? Say, did you mute the phone because you’re afraid she might hear that I’m with you?”
“No, it’s not. It’s just that I don’t want to cause you any trouble.” Callum’s voice dripped with helplessness and affection as he leaned over and pinched her face.
“Hmph!” Elspeth disagreed with a snort.
Hearing no one speak on the other end of the line, Emma grew even more anxious. “Callum, I’m here to attend the Fashion Week, and it occurred to me that you’re here as well. I don’t know anyone else around here, so could you come over to pick me up?”
Any man would have been unable to turn down such a request, but Callum remained imperturbable as usual. “I’m busy at the moment. How about I let my assistant pick you up instead?”
He was apparently giving her the brush-off.
After hearing this, Elspeth finally mumbled, “Mm-hmm,” in satisfaction.
Sharp as Emma was, she immediately took notice of it. “Callum, is someone with you over there? How come I heard a woman’s voice just now?”
“I’m in a meeting.”
Callum said he was in a meeting, but in reality, his hands were naughtily moving along Elspeth’s fingers. Feeling the softness of her fingertips, he couldn’t help but squeeze and toy with them.
Elspeth warned under her breath before pushing him away. She whispered angrily, “Can’t you behave
