Sweetheart Do You Still Love Me Chapter 180


    Right now just so happened to be the time for the employees to clock off. Therefore, they were met


    with the sight of a greasy and fat middle-aged man slowly walking out of the building with a smile on his


    face. Elspeth got out of the car with her bag in hand. She walked forward while faking that she was


    about to make a phone call. Then, she suddenly bumped into Zain by ident due to her negligence.


    The momentum caused her to lose her bnce and sprawl to the ground. To make matters worse, the


    screen of her phone shattered upon impact.“Hiss…” She pretended to be in great pain as she looked


    up with tears in her eyes. “I’m sorry. I was looking at my phone just now, so I wasn’t looking at the


    road.”Zain initially nned to fly into a great rage, but his anger dissipatedpletely when he realized


    that the person who bumped into him was a beautiful and delicate woman.“It’s nothing. Are you alright?


    Here, let me help you up.”He stretched out his hand to help her up. However, she stood up on her own


    with an apologetic look. She patted the dust from her body and began bbering in embarrassment.


    “How can I trouble you? It’s my fault that I fell down in the first ce. But my phone…”She nced at


    her phone on the ground, feeling a dull pang in her chest.The lecherous man had been trying toe


    up with a reason to ask her out. So, when he saw the phone lying on the ground, his heart leaped with


    joy. “It’s fine. I’ll buy you a new one to rece this. But, Miss, how should I address you?”Sheughed


    softly. “I am Abigail Joneson. What about you?”He found her smile absolutely breathtaking. “I am Zain


    ck, the financial director of the Alphascape Group.”A n had already formed in his heart as he


    deliberately exposed his high-ranked status in a bigpany. He figured that if he revealed his identity


    to her, she would definitely behave like all the other women and fawn over him.“It’s gettingte, and I


    have something going on. Please excuse me. I have to go.” Elspeth lifted a hand to look at her watch


    with an anxious expression. “If it’s about my phone… I dropped it myself, so I’ll just buy a new one


    later. Don’t worry about it.”It was his first time meeting a woman like her who was neither greedy for


    money nor vain. Not to mention, she was an absolute beauty. A mixture ofplicated feelings


    washed over him for a moment.If only I could make her mine… The moment I do, I will immediately


    divorce my in-looking hag of a housewife and marry her instead!“No. Half of the me lies with me.N?velDrama.Org ? 2024.


    At least let me pay for half of the costs. Otherwise, I won’t feel at ease!”She hesitated for a moment


    before she answered, “Um… Why don’t we exchange phone numbers for now? Then, you can transfer


    the money to me once I buy a new phone.”Although he was not happy with the arrangement, he


    reluctantly nodded in agreement. It was not good to be too forceful during their first meeting. After all,


    courtship was a gradual and progressive process.Elspeth gave him her phone number to make this


    incident more believable. However, it was a spare number. Even if he tried to investigate the personal


    information behind this number, he would not be able to figure out her true identity.Once they finished


    exchanging contact information, she smiled and waved at him before walking away.Zain remained


    extremely distracted after Elspeth left. Although he constantly checked his phone, it wasn’t untilte


    evening that he finally received the friend verification message on Facebook.Elspeth stared at the


    messages that she received from the other party. Despite feeling annoyed, she was forced to adopt a


    gentle tone.‘The new phone cost 6,000. You can just transfer 3,000 to me.’‘Ding dong. You have


    received 30,000 in your PayPal ount.’She slowly sent him a message that contained only a single


    question mark.“Miss Joneson, I added an extra zero by mistake earlier. I’m very sorry for my blunder.


    But I don’tck this small amount of money. So, you can go ahead and keep the change.”“Uh… Okay,


    then. In that case, why don’t I treat you to dinner tomorrow? If I treat you to dinner a few times, then we


    can consider the debt paid off.”Things had yed out exactly as he wanted. Thus, he replied to her


    message with two smiley emojis as though he was delighted with the arrangement. The next day


    happened to be the weekend. Elspeth arrived at the agreed meeting ce early in the morning and


    waited for Zain to make his appearance.Callum was worried and decided to follow her, so he could be


    there if something went wrong. “I will be sitting right behind youter.”She rolled her eyes in frustration.


    “Do I look like a feeble woman? Do you think I won’t be able to defeat that wretched man myself?”“It’s


    not a worry but a concern. Any man other than myself is not a good person.”His response left her


    feeling speechless.When Elspeth noticed Zain approaching from a distance, she quickly moved away


    from Callum and greeted Zain with a bright grin. “You’re here, Mr. ck.”She wore a short white dress


    and a matching pair of high heels, showing off her gorgeous figure.Zain practically drooled at the sight.


    The woman in front of him was far more attractive than those unrefined women caked in a thickyer of


    makeup.“Yeah. What are we having today?”“I don’t know your preference, so I randomly chose an


    Asian restaurant. I hope the food is to your liking.”He nced at the menu and saw that every single


    dish offered was not cheap. Hence, he silently praised her for being sensible. “I’m sure it won’t.”They


    randomly ordered several dishes and began making small talk with each other.“Mr. ck, don’t you


    need to work today?” After she said that, Elspeth abruptly realized that she had made a slip of the


    tongue and smiled apologetically. “I’m sorry. I forgot that it’s the weekend.”Who wouldn’t like a dumb


    and easily deceived beauty? Unfortunately, Zain was no exception to that rule.“It’s nothing. As long as


    it’s an invitation from you, I will dly apany you even if it were a weekday.”Elspeth frowned


    slightly. “Are you not busy with work during the weekdays?”“Not really. I just need to check and bnce


    some ounts. So, it’s quite leisurely.”She broke out into a smile. “Wow! You should be super


    knowledgeable about the Alphascape Group’s ounts.”“Of course. I made the ledger myself, so it’s


    only natural for me to know these things.”After she heard that, she ced her chin on her hand. A hint


    of anticipation and vague admiration appeared on her face. “How amazing. I also studied ounting


    but kept making mistakes when preparing the ounts. As a result, I’m always getting scolded by my


    boss.”When Zain noticed the aggrieved and distressed expression on her face, he couldn’t help feeling


    sorry for her. “Don’t worry. If there’s something you don’t know, I can teach you.”A light shed through


    her eyes before she quickly fluttered hershes. “Really?” However, the light in her eyes soon dimmed.


    “But I’m very stupid. Can you show me Alphascape’s ounts and teach me the procedures step-by-


    step?”He felt slightly doubtful and hesitant when he heard that she wanted to see Alphascape’s


    ounts. Then, he heard her asking him to teach her the procedures step-by-step. His heart


    immediately began to flutter in anticipation.There was no way he would let such a golden opportunity


    slip through his fingers. Hence, he immediately agreed to bring the ount statements tomorrow to


    discuss them with her.When she noticed that he had taken the bait, hook, line, and sinker, she slowly


    curled her lips into a smile.The next day, they agreed to meet at the same restaurant. Zain truly did


    bring the ount statements with him.Elspeth flipped through the ount statements in her hand,


    studying the records from top to bottom. Finally, a look of amazement appeared on her face. “How


    amazing. The ount statements are so detailed.”“That’s nothing. The most important point is that you


    are too careful. I believe your boss is constantly reprimanding you because you are too honest in your


    ounting.”She tilted her head to the side and looked puzzled. “What do you mean?”He looked around


    and lowered his voice. “You just need to learn how to falsify the ounts!”“Do you mean to say that


    Alphascape falsified their ounts?” While she made sure to look surprised on the surface, she


    secretly turned on the recording function on her phone.
