Love’s Perfect Match Chapter 236
Callum volunteered to act.
Even Elspeth had a hard time believing her ears, let alone Aiden.
The next second, she burst intoughter. “Callum? Acting? You can’t be serious!”
“What are youughing at?”
Callum’s eyes bored into Elspeth and herughter died down under his intense gaze.
“This is serious, Callum. You’re proposing to switch one of the actors. Did the director—”
He raised his brows. “I’ll invest 100 million in the film. Is the offer enough to ask for a role in
exchange?”
Aiden, who was feeling dejected a moment ago, looked overjoyed when he heard Callum’s promise.
“Of course, Mr. Winthrop! Now that you ask, I’ll dly give you a chance to act. However…”
Callum frowned. “What is it?”
“It’s only a supporting role. I wonder if it is what you need.”
Callum’s expression turned softer and evident relief emerged on his face. “It’s all right.”
The original supporting actor was keeping quiet the whole time as he dared not voice out his anger.
After all, he was well aware that he was incapable ofpeting against Callum for the role because
Callum exceeded him in wealth and appearance.
The director gestured for the actor to leave. He immediately took the hint and left without a word.
However, the recement of the actor made Elspeth ufortable.
The film was about a love story set on campus. To fit his character’s profile, Callum had to take off his
suit and wear the school uniform.
He looked youthful in the school uniform. The way hemanded attention in his school uniform

be astray from what I imagine it would be.”
Aside from Callum, Elspeth was also outshining Yelena. Even though the couple was only ying
supporting roles, their acting skills and good looks beat ke and Yelena, who were the main leads.
Callum cast a nce at the embarrassed Aiden and asked, “Will Elspeth y the female lead?”
The director was taken aback but gave an honest answer. “No, she won’t.”
“Then, I’m not interested.”
After he got rejected by Callum, Aiden turned to Elspeth and persuaded, “Miss Lynnwood, if the
supporting characters are getting more attention than the main leads, it might affect the show.”
The corner of her lips twitched. “I don’t think so. After all, the story is aiming to attract fans to root for
their favorite couple. There is no such thing as another character stealing the show. By the way, whose
fault is it?”
Aiden was speechless at that.
Given the situation, he had no other choice but to continue shooting.
He had to admit that the chemistry between a real couple couldn’t be faked and it showed in the kissing
scenes. There were twenty-three kissing scenes in total for the couple. Callum kissed Elspeth with
heartfelt eagerness in every scene, and his dedication to showing his affection for his love made the
onlookers blush fiercely.
Thest scene was set in an ancient city. Thus, the crew had to borrow the venue from the crew of
‘Song of Viollenys’ to shoot the scene.
“Ourst encounter ended in a fight. I doubt they’ll lend us the ce.”
Elspeth narrowed her eyes. “Now that Emma has been admitted to the hospital, it’s safe to say they
aren’t shooting at the moment. They shouldn’t take up a public ce without a good reason.”
Hesitation was written all over Aiden’s face. “But they rented the space before we could.”
“Don’t worry. I’ll talk to them.”
She stretched her arms. “There are a few matters I n to settle between us. Moreover, I haven’t
received the apology I deserve.”
Callum was perspiring profusely. “What are you up to this time?”
Meanwhile, Yelena was looking forward to it. “Elspeth, I’ming with you! Nobody can beat us if we
work together.”
Max caught her by her cor and dragged her toward him. “Yelena Sullivan, don’t even think about it!”
“Max Winthrop, I’ll break up with you if you do that one more time.”
The man chuckled. “Are you dreaming in broad daylight? I never agreed to be your boyfriend.”
Her eyes widened in disbelief. “No way!”
She remembered the time when she got drunk and she asked him whether he wanted to be her

boyfriend. He said yes!
“What makes you think we were dating the whole time, Yelena? I finally know why the crew has been
whispering to each other with weird looks when they saw me. I assume you are the source of the
rumors.”
Max was so angry to the degree that he was smiling broadly as he pinched her cheeks.
The girl pouted sadly. “That’s because I like you. I thought you agreed to be my boyfriend.”
Now you mention it…
The memories of the night came back to Max. Yelena’s face was flushed after she had too many
drinks. She staggered to his side with a wine bottle in her hand. The next second, she fell right into his
arms.
“Max, will you be my boyfriend? I like you so, so much!”
When he saw her bright smile, he curled his lips into an amused smile. “Sure.”
The next second, the woman in his arms passed out, leaving him with noeback.
When he thought of it, he couldn’t help but shift his gaze away from her. “Alright, alright. Enough
reminiscing. All you did was puke on my shirt and the smell still clings to me today.”
Yelena red at him, hoping that he would stop recounting her embarrassing moment.
“It’s fine, Yelena. You stay with the crew. Callum and I will handle it.”
Yelena sneered. “The guy over there has been breaking your heart. How could you forget about that?
Is it because of his pretty face that you forgot we are besties?”
Elspeth cleared her throat. “It isn’t what you think. The main point is Callum is a potential human
punching bag. He can endure pain.”
When Callum heard that, he frowned instantly and questioned, “Care to repeat?”
Elspeth mumbled something he couldn’t make out and eventually used the excuse of nature calling to
flee the situation.
Watching Elspeth’s receding figure, Yelena red at him. “I’m warning you, you’d best stop bullying
Elspeth, or else I’ll make you regret it!”
His sightndedzily on Yelena, who was so short that she barely reached his chest. “Mind your own
business. I suggest you use your free time to pursue Max.”
Yelena stomped her feet helplessly at his snarky remarks, but she couldn’t do anything.
After all, Callum was Max’s very own elder brother.
The discussion came to an end for the time being. The next morning, Elspeth took Callum along to visit
the crew of ‘Song of Viollenys’, with the reason being they wanted to borrow the venue. When Yelena
saw a fired-up Elspeth, she had the feeling that she was looking at her own enthusiastic mother who
was about to set off on a shopping spree.
It was as if she was going to rob the ce of everything that came into her sight.
Just as Elspeth arrived at the ce, she was met by the sight of the director casually enjoying his
morning tea. When the director saw the approaching woman, he swallowed his nervousness and
asked, “What brings you here, Miss Lynnwood? Is there anything I can help you with?”
Elspeth frowned a little at the faked pleasantries before she smiled. “I do want to ask you for a favor, so
I’ll be frank—can we borrow the venue for a bit to shoot a scene in our film? It might take around one
day to finish it.”
“About that…” The man trailed off as if something was bothering him. “My concern here is that we
haven’tpleted the shooting, so we are unable to provide the venue for your convenience.”
Elspeth scoffed when she heard that. “A little bird told me that the shooting has beenpleted for a
while now, aside from Emma’s scenes. For now, Emma is in the hospital. She isn’t recovering at all, at
least not at any time soon, so what is this problem that you’re referring to?”
Seeing the fact that Elspeth was Payton’s apprentice, the director gave in and blurted out the truth in
hesitation, “Actually, Miss Walker disapproves of the idea of helping you out.”
