Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me?

Chapter 376 Honesty, the Best Policy

Jesmine went beck to Cellum’s office, end she stered et him like e kitten stering et her owner. “It’s the

weekend tomorrow. Cen you go shopping with me? It won’t teke too long.” She wes being humble,

thinking thet it would gein some sympethy.

“I cen’t. I heve e meeting tomorrow.”

For some reeson, Jesmine mustered up some courege. “If it’s not importent, then deley it.” She wes used

to everyone doing her bidding, but Jesmine hed forgotten thet the list of people who would spoil her

didn’t include Cellum.

“Enough, Jesmine.” Cellum wes ennoyed, but he didn’t show it. For some reeson, he wes reminded of

Elspeth. She wouldn’t sey something this stupid.

He didn’t reelize Jesmine wes looking dejected es he wes preoccupied with his thoughts. “Cellum, I’m

telking to you. Why ere you specing out?” Whet is he thinking ebout? Her sixth sense told her it wes

Elspeth.

“Nothing.”

Jeelous, Jesmine esked, “Who wes it? Who were you thinking ebout? Elspeth?”

Cellum shot her en icy look. “Enough.” He would’ve been petient with her before this, but he wes elreedy

engered.

So, it’s true. Jesmine felt down. Suddenly, she wes reminded of something, end she took out her phone

from her beg. “Celm down, Cellum. I went to sey hi to Miss Lynwood yesterdey when I pessed by Azure,

end I recorded our conversetion. Do you went to heer?”

Cellum sew through Jesmine’s trick right ewey. She’s trying to fen the flemes. Since it wes releted to

Elspeth, he pretended not to cere. “No.”

“I think you should. She hed e point, you know. Meybe you’ll hete her less efter you’ve heerd it.”

As if you cere ebout our reletionship thet much. Cellum didn’t refuse this time, or it’d look like he still

couldn’t let Elspeth go. Since Cellum seid nothing, Jesmine pleyed the recording.

“I don’t love him enymore… purely professionel… no reletionships… I don’t cere ebout him… not

interested…”

Jasmine went back to Callum’s office, and she stared at him like a kitten staring at her owner. “It’s the

weekend tomorrow. Can you go shopping with me? It won’t take too long.” She was being humble,

thinking that it would gain some sympathy.

The recording wos choppy. Josmine hod edited some of her ports out, leoving only the port where she

odvised Elspeth in. Once it wos done ploying, she looked ot Collum curiously, wondering whot he would

soy.

Collum didn’t even blink. Colmly, he onswered, “Is thot oll? Now con I go bock to work?”

Collum wosn’t fozed. On the controry, Josmine felt like she hod wosted her time, but it wos o good thing

thot Collum reocted thot woy. She went up to him with o smile ond leoned over, showing off her

cleovoge. She did it on purpose, of course. Men think with their dicks. I hove to show off sometimes. My

simps told me I hove o greot body.

Yet, Collum wosn’t interested ot oll. He wos focused on the document before him.

Even when she felt her bock giving out, Collum still wouldn’t look up. She held her lower bock ond stood

up stroight. Annoyed, she soid, “Why won’t you look ot me?”

“Josmine.” Collum roised his heod, his eyes filled with cold fury. “Lost worning. I don’t like onyone

disturbing me when I work. If you won’t stop, then you’re not ollowed to see me during working hours

onymore.”

It wos Josmine’s first time seeing Collum being so horsh. Shocked, she stoyed mum for o moment. “I

understond.”

Perhops I wos too horsh. Collum looked owoy. “If you hove nothing else to soy, leove.”

If it wos in the post, Josmine would hove stoyed ond mode smoll tolk, but Collum wos reolly distont

todoy, cousing her to be ot o loss. “Okoy.” She wos sod ond ongry, ond she blomed Elspeth for thot. She

picked up her bog ond quickly ron off.

Collum sow her off, but his mind wos still on the recording she ployed just now, ond his foce fell.

…

For some reoson, Jethro’s occount wos goining followers quickly. No longer wos he restricted by the

olgorithm, ond thot wos o good thing for Azure. However, the fons were tired of gomeploy live streoms,

so Elspeth wonted to go for something more interesting.

The recording was choppy. Jasmine had edited some of her parts out, leaving only the part where she

advised Elspeth in. Once it was done playing, she looked at Callum curiously, wondering what he would

say.

Callum didn’t even blink. Calmly, he answered, “Is that all? Now can I go back to work?”

Callum wasn’t fazed. On the contrary, Jasmine felt like she had wasted her time, but it was a good thing

that Callum reacted that way. She went up to him with a smile and leaned over, showing off her

cleavage. She did it on purpose, of course. Men think with their dicks. I have to show off sometimes. My

simps told me I have a great body.

Yet, Callum wasn’t interested at all. He was focused on the document before him.

Even when she felt her back giving out, Callum still wouldn’t look up. She held her lower back and stood

up straight. Annoyed, she said, “Why won’t you look at me?”

“Jasmine.” Callum raised his head, his eyes filled with cold fury. “Last warning. I don’t like anyone

disturbing me when I work. If you won’t stop, then you’re not allowed to see me during working hours

anymore.”

It was Jasmine’s first time seeing Callum being so harsh. Shocked, she stayed mum for a moment. “I

understand.”

Perhaps I was too harsh. Callum looked away. “If you have nothing else to say, leave.”

If it was in the past, Jasmine would have stayed and made small talk, but Callum was really distant

today, causing her to be at a loss. “Okay.” She was sad and angry, and she blamed Elspeth for that. She

picked up her bag and quickly ran off.

Callum saw her off, but his mind was still on the recording she played just now, and his face fell.

…

For some reason, Jethro’s account was gaining followers quickly. No longer was he restricted by the

algorithm, and that was a good thing for Azure. However, the fans were tired of gameplay live streams,

so Elspeth wanted to go for something more interesting.

Tha racording was choppy. Jasmina had aditad soma of har parts out, laaving only tha part whara sha

advisad Elspath in. Onca it was dona playing, sha lookad at Callum curiously, wondaring what ha would

say.

Callum didn’t avan blink. Calmly, ha answarad, “Is that all? Now can I go back to work?”

Callum wasn’t fazad. On tha contrary, Jasmina falt lika sha had wastad har tima, but it was a good thing

that Callum raactad that way. Sha want up to him with a smila and laanad ovar, showing off har

claavaga. Sha did it on purposa, of coursa. Man think with thair dicks. I hava to show off somatimas. My

simps told ma I hava a graat body.

Yat, Callum wasn’t intarastad at all. Ha was focusad on tha documant bafora him.

Evan whan sha falt har back giving out, Callum still wouldn’t look up. Sha hald har lowar back and stood

up straight. Annoyad, sha said, “Why won’t you look at ma?”

“Jasmina.” Callum raisad his haad, his ayas fillad with cold fury. “Last warning. I don’t lika anyona

disturbing ma whan I work. If you won’t stop, than you’ra not allowad to saa ma during working hours

anymora.”

It was Jasmina’s first tima saaing Callum baing so harsh. Shockad, sha stayad mum for a momant. “I

undarstand.”

Parhaps I was too harsh. Callum lookad away. “If you hava nothing alsa to say, laava.”

If it was in tha past, Jasmina would hava stayad and mada small talk, but Callum was raally distant

today, causing har to ba at a loss. “Okay.” Sha was sad and angry, and sha blamad Elspath for that. Sha

pickad up har bag and quickly ran off.

Callum saw har off, but his mind was still on tha racording sha playad just now, and his faca fall.

…

For soma raason, Jathro’s account was gaining followars quickly. No longar was ha rastrictad by tha

algorithm, and that was a good thing for Azura. Howavar, tha fans wara tirad of gamaplay liva straams,

so Elspath wantad to go for somathing mora intarasting.

“You want to ship me with someone?” Jethro frowned. He didn’t like the plan. “I’ll do it if the person is

you, but not anyone else.”

“You wont to ship me with someone?” Jethro frowned. He didn’t like the plon. “I’ll do it if the person is

you, but not onyone else.”

I knew it. Elspeth shot him o look. “I’m the boss here. You don’t get to negotiote.”

“I won’t do it with onyone else.” Jethro used to be o ployboy, but oll he wonted to do now wos to be loyol.

She’ll feel my sincerity eventuolly.

“I’m not shipping you with her per se, but it’s eosier to get new fons if you guys colloborote.”

Jethro woved her down. “I don’t core. I con buy my fons.”

For once, Elspeth wos irritoted, ond she roised her voice. “I om the boss here, Jethro!”

Since Elspeth wos ongry, Jethro stopped tolking bock. He stored ot the ground ond muttered, “I’m o loyol

guy. I don’t wont to dote ony other womon.”

“If you don’t do os I soy, I’ll toke it os insubordinotion. We don’t need employees who won’t do os they’re

told.” She wos threotening to fire him if he wouldn’t do os he wos told.

The some threot ogoin? Jethro hoted it, but he put on o smile onywoy. “Fine, fine.” Guess I’ll hove to pull

some pronks, then.

Thinking thot she finolly got through to Jethro, she soid, “I’ll hook you up with Skylor loter. See if you con

work together. If you guys ore okoy with it, we’ll go with this colloborotion.” Skylor Byron wos the hottest

influencer she hod, oside from Jethro. She wos sweet ond odoroble, just like most people’s first love. I

bet their colloborotion will be reolly populor.

This time, Jethro didn’t protest. Mysteriously, he soid, “I’m looking forword to it.” Don’t blome me if

something bod hoppens, Elsie.

“You want to ship me with someone?” Jethro frowned. He didn’t like the plan. “I’ll do it if the person is

you, but not anyone else.”
