Sweetheart Do You Still Love Me Chapter 150


    Once she heard that, Elspeth instantly figured out the source of her unfortunate circumstances today.


    “This is the coffee you asked me to get for you two hours ago. What’s the matter? Are you going to


    deny it now?”


    Emma had a look of realization. “Oh, I’m so sorry, Elspeth. I forgot about it. It was such a long time ago,


    and there was a meeting just now, so it slipped my memory. Are you okay? Look at how wet you are!


    It’s all my fault. You wouldn’t have had to go so far if it wasn’t because of me.”


    She gave Elspeth a tender look of concern as she suggested, “Hurry up and dry yourself off, or you


    might catch a cold.”


    Elspeth was a little doubtful at Emma’s seemingly genuine remorse.


    “It’s fine.”


    Although Emma seemed harmless, Elspeth could always see the traces of a taunting, calcting look


    in her eyes.


    However, it would only sh across her eyes momentarily. Elspeth never got a clear shot of it and kept


    assuming she was seeing things.


    From how things have been going, she might not be a bad person, but she’s definitely not easy to get


    along with.


    Elspeth nodded without saying anything.


    All of a sudden, she cocked her eyebrows as a thought flitted across her mind.


    Before the whole affair with the coffee, her phone had been left on the desk the entire time as she


    exined something to Emma, and she had left her phone for a moment to print out a document.


    She had a good hunch for why the text had been listed as read now.


    She changed into a new outfit before heading straight to the CEO’s office.


    No one knew what happened with Elspeth inside the office. All they saw was that her expression had


    turned even darker when she walked out.


    Someone asked her what happened, but she only said that she had missed the meeting due to her


    negligence, so Callum gave her a talking-to. She didn’t say anything else.


    However, Emma knew that the conflict between the two wasn’t simply over this.


    When Emma heard what Elspeth said, she had a look of worry as she asked, “What’s the matter? Did


    Mr. Winthrop reprimand you? Elspeth, I’m the reason why all of this happened. Why don’t I talk to him


    about it? That way, everything will be smoothed over.”


    Elspeth eyed her coldly. “Don’t bother with the act, Emma. Don’t you realize how fake you sound? I’m


    the one who got in trouble, not you. Don’t stick your nose where it doesn’t belong.”


    Emma froze as if she didn’t know what Elspeth was saying. “What are you talking about, Elspeth?”


    There was a hint of aggrievance in her voice.


    Elspeth realized she had been a bit harsh, so she sighed. “Sorry about that. I was in a bad mood, so I


    spoke a little too hurtfully.”


    “It’s fine, Elspeth. I think Mr. Winthrop is a little stern, but he treats you very well, so you don’t have to


    worry. He’s your boyfriend, isn’t he? I’m sure things won’t be too bad between you two.”


    Elspeth looked a little convinced. “Alright. Anyway, this has nothing to do with you, so don’t worry. Just


    focus on your work.”


    With that, she went back to her desk.


    She flipped through the documents on her desk before asking loudly, “Where are my documents?”


    A female employee nearby spoke up tentatively, “Just now, Mr. Winthrop asked someone to take the


    documents away. He said something seems up with youtely, so you don’t have to be in charge of


    important documents. He’ll go over himself for the time being.”


    Elspeth snorted. “What now? Is Mr. Winthrop negating all my previous efforts just because I’m a little


    off today?”


    The female employee was a timid one. When she noticed Elspeth was in a bad mood, her voice


    lowered to nearly a whisper. “I… don’t know. Maybe Mr. Winthrop thinks you’re under a lot of pressure,


    so that’s why…”


    She trailed off as she knew this was never a stance Callum took with the employees. He believed that if


    an employee couldn’t perform, then they should just leave thepany. He would never go so far as to


    show consideration for their condition.


    Elspeth couldn’t stand it any longer. She stood up and said to the employee beside her, “I’m going out


    for some fresh air. Help me tell Mr. Winthrop that I’m taking the day off. He can take it out of my sry.”


    She left as soon as she finished speaking.


    The female employee knew Elspeth was angry, so she nodded timidly and did as told.


    Callum was in his office, going through some documents with Emma. When he heard what happened,


    he raised his eyebrows and said harshly, “If she wants to leave, let her leave. It seems to me that I’ve


    been too indulgent with hertely.”


    Emma’s heart leaped with joy when she saw that he was angry, but she advised him, “Don’t be upset


    with Elspeth, Mr. Winthrop. She’s a proud woman, and she won’t be happy if she heard what you said.”


    “She won’t be happy? Who in thispany doesn’t have a sense of pride? I’m running thepany


    with a team of employees that perform their roles well. It’s not her one-woman show.”


    His expression was grim as he spoke. He looked deeply disappointed.


    “There, now. Don’t be mad. Look at this, Mr. Winthrop. We can make these arrangements for this


    season’s designs…”


    Emma quickly changed the subject when she noticed he was getting angrier. She tapped on the report


    on the desk and exined her idea clearly. When she looked up, she saw Callum staring thoughtfully


    at her.


    “What’s the matter, Mr. Winthrop? Why are you staring at me? Is there something on my face?”


    He snapped out of it. His gaze was clear once more as he said, “It’s nothing. You just look a lot like


    someone I knew.”


    “Someone you knew? You don’t look like someone with a lot of female friends, Mr. Winthrop. Do I


    perhaps look like your ex-girlfriend or your childhood love?” she teased lightheartedly but soon realized


    he didn’t deny it.


    “It’s an honor for me to share a resemnce with your ex-girlfriend, Mr. Winthrop.” She could tell he


    wasn’t in a good mood, so she dropped the topic after that.


    Callum watched as she approached her work with a serious attitude and sighed abruptly.


    “Elspeth used to be like you. She was serious when it came to her work. She was always full of


    confidence then. She was a dazzling star that made everyone else seem dull inparison.”


    When Emma heard what he said, she lowered her head to hide the calcting look in her eyes before


    smiling faintly. “Then, I hope I will be as aplished as Elspeth.”


    He smiled at her.


    “Do your best, and you might seed in doing so.” Just then, a thought seemed to ur to him as he


    asked, “If I recall correctly, you graduated from the same university as she did, right?”

    Seeing that Callum started to have interest in her after being let down by Elspeth, Emma found herself


    swelling with pride. “That’s right. But I only majored in design, so I’m not as excellent as Elspeth.”


    “I see. You can get back to work now.”


    She nodded and left.


    However, she didn’t head back to her desk right away. Instead, she went to the washroom. It was


    empty as everyone was busy working, and she made a call.


    “How are thingsing along, Emma?”


    “Mr. Little.” She looked at her sparkling nails and chuckled. “I’m on the verge ofpleting your n.”
