Love’s Perfect Match Chapter 27

Chapter 27 A Deep Kiss

Callum held Elspeth beneath him, and he stared at her with a gaze so hot that she could see the

flames in them.

“Callum…”

His lips crashed against hers and silenced everything else she tried to say.

It was a little awkward—he kissed as if he didn’t know how to do it, but as his lips pressed against hers

over and over again, he slowly deepened the kiss and even stuck his tongue inside her mouth.

Elspeth knew that Callum was acting this way because he was drugged, so she bit down on his lip to

try and make him regain his senses.

Callum moved back a little and she seized this chance to flip on top of him instead. Noticing that he

was still trying to make his move, she swiftly slapped him and knocked him unconscious.

“How exhausting.” Elspeth stood up and kicked him. “And he even tried to take advantage of me while

out of his senses! He’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing!”

Calling an ambulance would make too much commotion, so Elspeth called up one of the Winthrops’

bodyguards and had him take Callum to the hospital.

When Callum opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was Elspeth, who was standing beside him with

an indifferent expression.

He was startled. “Did you stay here all night taking care of me?”

“You’re not very vigilant at all, are you, Mr. Winthrop? Someone even managed to drug you.” Elspeth

didn’t answer his question, and she started mocking him instead.

Callum had to admit that she was right, so he didn’t refute her statement and merely listened to

whatever she had to say.

“Well, you’re awake, so I’m leaving now.”

Looking at him now only reminded her of the way he protected Ophelia, which gave Elspeth a rather

unpleasant feeling.

“Edmund’s very interested in you,” Callum said all of a sudden.

Elspeth cocked her eyebrows. “And? What does it have to do with you?”

“Edmund always likes comparing himself to me, and he keeps trying to one-up me. I’m afraid that he’s

trying to get close to you because of me and not because he truly likes you.”

Callum expressed his concern.

When Elspeth heard this, she smirked mischievously and asked, “Does that mean that you’re

interested in me? Is that why Edmund is trying to fight you on this too?”

She had honed in on a crucial point and Callum was at a loss for words. He didn’t know what to say.

“You can take it however you want,” he said a little awkwardly.

He didn’t take the bait and Elspeth didn’t get to have her fun, so she didn’t bother teasing him anymore.

Callum rested for a little while longer before the two went back to the company together.

Meanwhile, Ophelia was extremely displeased that the plan had failed, and she couldn’t stand the sight

of Elspeth. They spent the whole night together! Where did they go? And Callum was drugged too! Did

they…

The more Ophelia thought about it, the more anxious she became. She even glared at Elspeth

menacingly.

When Elspeth noticed Ophelia’s reaction, she couldn’t help but smile. “Miss Fleming, are you curious

as to what we did last night?”

Ophelia had a twisted look on her face as she muttered, “What did you two do last night?”

“Last night, we… What do you think? A man and a woman spending the night together. Something

must’ve happened, right?”

The thought of Elspeth sleeping with Callum unleashed the green-eyed monster in Ophelia. Blinded by

jealousy, she could no longer keep her composure. “Hurry up and tell me what the two of you did

together! I’ll make your life a living hell if you took advantage of Callum and slept with him!”

“Took advantage of him? How can you use that to describe something that happened between two

consenting adults?”

Elspeth smiled widely at the sight of Ophelia’s outburst. It was very amusing to her.

By now, Ophelia was no longer thinking straight. “That’s nonsense! Callum was drugged! How could he

have consented?!” she cried out.

Elspeth raised her eyebrows. Well, that’s settled then. She’s indeed the one behind it.

“I didn’t say he was drugged. How did you know, Miss Fleming?” A look of ridicule flashed across

Elspeth’s eyes. “What’s going on? Were you the one who drugged him, Miss Fleming?”

Ophelia instantly regretted letting it slip, but it was too late. She weaseled it out of me again!

After looking around to make sure that no one else overheard them, she threatened, “Either way, I’m

warning you now—don’t even think about putting your hands on my Callum!”

“It seems to me that you overestimate yourself, Miss Fleming. I’ll just have to wait and see if you have

the ability to make me suffer.”

Elspeth stretched lazily and didn’t waste any more of her attention on the woman who was becoming a

little maniacal. She turned around and went back to her desk. NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

When it was time to get off work, Elspeth didn’t feel like going back with Callum so she got a cab.

That night at the dinner table, Blake mentioned that he was going to shoot a music video for his latest

song the next day. Theodore thought it was a good opportunity for the young ones to spend time

together, so he suggested having Elspeth go along with Blake.

“Dad, why do you want her to go? Won’t she just be a nuisance?”

After the kidnapping incident, Max was convinced that Elspeth was just a walking magnet for trouble.

However, his comment only fueled Elspeth’s desire to go against him. “Sure. I’ll go and take a look

tomorrow.”

Max was furious but the only thing he could do was glare daggers at her.

The next morning, Elspeth got up early and followed Blake to the filming location.

The latest song they were filming a music video for was a sweet and gentle love song, the kind that

was in trend right now. Once Elspeth heard the opening melody, she instantly could tell that the song

was going to be a hit.

“It’s a pretty good song. I think it’d be even better if you took the key down for the last few bars and add

a little more sense of longing as you sing it,” Elspeth suggested in her clear, crisp voice.

Blake was a little taken aback. It sounds as if she knows a thing or two about music.

Elspeth noticed his expression and smiled faintly without saying anything.

It went without saying that the music video for a love song would feature a couple, but even after

waiting about for several hours, the actress was still a no-show. At last, the director called her manager

up and it was then that they realized the actress had gotten into a car accident on the way. She couldn’t

make it to the shoot.

The director was distraught. The production team had spent a lot of time and effort to select the right

actress for the music video, and it was unlikely that they would be able to find a suitable replacement

on such short notice. Where am I going to find another young lady who’s pretty and has the aura I

envisioned for our college girl character?

Suddenly, Blake came over and said with a smile, “Director, I have a suitable candidate.”

He pointed at Elspeth, who was daydreaming in a corner as the breeze rustled through her hair. She

was wearing a simple, white dress that made her look as if she were the young female lead who had

just stepped out of a campus romance novel.

The director’s eyes lit up at once. “She fits the part even better!”

He went over and quickly discussed it with Elspeth. She figured she would feel bad if she denied it

since it was for Blake’s sake, so she agreed.

She was led straight to the styling team first, and the filming began soon after. Thanks to Elspeth’s

outstanding looks and acting prowess, they wrapped up filming in next to no time.

“I have an idea. Why don’t you record the song with me? You’re the leading lady in the music video, so

it’d be even better if you took part in the song too.”

It was hard to refuse Blake when he was being so sincere. After giving it some thought, Elspeth nodded

in agreement.

On the day the song, Sweet Tea, was released, it went viral across the Internet and topped the sales

charts.

Most of the comments online were praising the female singer’s clear and angelic voice, but at the same

time, a lot of unpleasant comments popped up as well.

‘She sounds almost exactly like Nancy Star. She must’ve imitated Nancy!’

As soon as someone made that comment, it instantly spread throughout all social media channels.
