Sweetheart Do You Still Love Me Chapter 261
When Yelena heard that Elspeth was in town, she headed straight to the lounge and found her perched
on the couch sipping coffee; she lunged towards her and gave her a big hug. “Elspeth, Elspeth! Today,
Timothy offered me another role, and this time it’s not the dumb and sweet leadingdy. It’s a bad*ss,
cool second female lead. I looked at the script, and the character is so likable. I really love it!”Elspeth
smiled. “That’s great, but that’s not why I asked you toe over.”“Then, what is it?”Yelena had been
cooped up in the office these days, not knowing what was going on with Elspeth.“Do you remember the
framing incident fromst time?”Indeed, she would not be able to forget that, so she nodded vigorously.
“Of course, I remember. Wasn’t it resolved already? Wait, don’t tell me Emma Walker, that two-faced, is
causing trouble again?”Elspeth shook her head. “No, it’s that you promised the people something with
Max. You should follow through with it.”What did I promise?Her mind immediately caught on. “OMG!
You’re not talking about us getting engaged, are you?”“Yes, when are you guys nning to get
engaged?”Elspeth’s words stirred up a storm in Yelena’s mind.The engagement wasn’t something that
she had put much thought into, as she always felt that Max was just joking around. Plus, if they were
really going to get engaged, Max should be the one toe to her. If he didn’t make a move, she
wouldn’t have the audacity to shamelessly go up to him!“Alright, you know that Max is not expressive.
Have you forgotten how he was? Even if he truly likes you, he will not have the audacity to bring up the
engagement himself.”Now, that kind of makes sense. Upon hearing this, Yelena felt her expression
soften. “Is that so? Then how do I get him to propose?”“I have a n,” Elspeth replied with a light
laugh.Then, Yelena leaned in, listening to her n, and a smile crept onto her lips. “But won’t that be
shameless?”In response, Elspeth rolled her eyes. “We can all see that he likes you. We’re just allowing
him to express himself. How is that being shameless?”Yelena usually listened to Elspeth’s advice, so
her concerns were quickly brushed off as well.The two wereughing and joking when suddenly,
Timothy burst through the door with a grave expression. “Bad news.”“What?” Yelena asked, taken
aback.“The director changed his mind about the role he promised you this afternoon. He said he’s
giving it to Emma instead.”Emma Walker again!Elspeth’s eyes shed with a hint of iciness. “Don’tProperty ? N?velDrama.Org.
worry. Let’s call the director first and find out what’s going on.”So, Timothy gave Elspeth the director’s
number immediately, and without hesitation, she made the call.The director seemed to be enjoying the
company of beautiful women on either side of him, but Elspeth’s status was too unique to be ignored.
He reluctantly answered the phone. “Hello, Miss Lynwood. Is there something you need?”“Just wanted
to ask why the female lead role you promised Yelena isn’t avable anymore all of a sudden.” When
Elspeth brought up the subject casually, the director giggled awkwardly while simultaneously disying
a tinge of apathy. “It’s just a role. We chose the person who’s most suitable for the role. If we find
someone better, of course, we’ll consider recing the previous choice. Besides, we haven’t started
filming yet, and there’s no contract signed, so it’s not a breach of contract.”Since the decision was
made verbally, it is permissible for the director to go back to his own words. Besides, his mouth began
to water when he recalled the soft curves of Emma’s body fromst night.Emma had said that if he
helped suppress Yelena, she would sleep with him just once! How could he resist the allure of a starlet
like her?“Promises are meant to be kept, so it’s downright heartless of you to go back on your word.”
Elspeth initially hoped to persuade him through reasoning, but she quickly abandoned this idea after
realizing he was not reasonable.“Fine. Since you have your own ideas, we won’t bother you anymore.
Let’s hope that you won’t regret it in the future,” Elspeth said, then hung up the phone.On the other
end, the director yelled with a spat, “That b*tch dared to disrespect me. I’ll be dumb if I let her take part
in this film!”Yelena hung her head, feeling despondent. “I really liked the script. To be honest, I didn’t
expect my role to be gone just like this.”Her disappointment was genuine.This drama was perfect for
her to transition into a new role. If she seeded, she would be spared from many unnecessary
criticisms. But it was all for naught…“Do you really want to star in this series?” Elspeth felt a little
uneasy, too, when she looked at Yelena.“Yes. But if I can’t, it’s okay too. We can always find something
better to film, right?”Yelena didn’t want to cause any trouble for Elspeth. Even if she had a n, Yelena
wouldn’t pursue it; she wouldn’t forgive himself if Elspeth had to beg the arrogant director on her
behalf.Yelena attempted tofort herself, but Elspeth paid no attention.“If you really want to join, I
have a way.” She smiled mysteriously.Yelena was ecstatic upon hearing this. “Really? Can I still be in
this drama?”“Yeah. If we can’t do it the soft way, we’ll do it the hard way.”Yelena couldn’t help but worry.
“You’re not going to beat him up, are you? That’s not a good idea. Even if you won, it’s not worth the
risk of future retaliation.”“Don’t worry. I won’t do anything foolish.” I’m lying.She had a brilliant idea
brewing in her mind long ago. When Yelena noticed the glimmer in Elspeth’s eyes, instead of feeling
relieved, she became more concerned.Elspeth had been cautious all this time. She wouldn’t go over
the line, right?Elspeth continued to talk to Yelena for a short while, but she was clearly absent-minded
throughout the conversation.Then, she left, telling Timothy not to ept any acting jobs for Yelena for
the time being; she could do variety shows and advertisements, but no more dramas.Timothy was
puzzled. Yelena’s career was on the rise, and not taking acting jobs would hurt her status.Elspeth
should not make such a mistake, right?But, because Elspeth had given the order and he couldn’t go
against it, all he could do was nod in agreement.Yelena was kept in the dark about what Elspeth
did.Elspeth left thepany before calling Lisa. “Hey, bring some men out tonight with you. We’re
getting down to business,” she said with a sly smile on her face.Just wait and see.
