Love’s Perfect Match Chapter 196

Chapter 196

Only after Finn had left did Elspeth text Yelena and get her to open the door. As soon as she entered,

Yelena threw herself into her arms with tears gushing from her eyes.“What happened? How did Finn

find you here?”Yelena sobbed, “I don’t know. Perhaps he learned that from someone.”“Stop crying,

everything’s alright now. By the way, I happen to have something to talk to you about. I forgot to tell you

about it at last time’s birthday party.”Yelena held back her tears. “What is it?”“I told you about it last

time. You can sign with Luminous Entertainment after your contract is terminated.”Yelena’s tears

instantly gave way to a smile. “Really? Can I really sign with Luminous Entertainment?”Seeing the look

of disbelief on her face, Elspeth couldn’t help but give her a knock on the head. “Did you forget who’s

running the company?”Yelena knew that, of course. If Elspeth were to stop concealing her identity,

she’d be Luminous Entertainment’s president both in name and reality by now. I’m perhaps the only

person who understands how it feels when my bestie becomes my superior overnight, no? She leaned

over to Elspeth, giggling. “Well, if that’s what you say, I guess I won’t be standing on ceremony with

you.”Knowing what her friend was up to, Elspeth curled her lips into a smile. “In that case, why don’t

you come with me now?”Yelena couldn’t be any happier to comply, of course. After grooming herself a

little, she went to Luminous Entertainment with Elspeth.Elspeth took her to see Timothy, who was

studying a screenplay while looking madly impatient.It’s so hard to look for a suitable script for Blake!

he thought to himself. He had studied the script for quite a while. Blake had the looks of a high school

hunk who was more on the gentle side, but the actresses proposed for the role of the female

protagonist were either plain or out of tune with the character, which was a total headache.“Timothy,

what’s giving you such a headache?” Elspeth came up with a smile and patted him on the shoulder.

Despite her young age, she conducted herself with an air of sophistication that was beyond her

years.Having nothing to hide from her, Timothy explained frankly, “I’m looking for a screenplay for

Blake, but there isn’t a suitable one.”Elspeth wasn’t worried about that at all. How could Blake have

trouble landing a role in film or on TV with his handsome looks? A lead male protagonist with Blake’s Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

looks would easily win the hearts of countless girls with just a wink. “Is the problem about the lead

actress?”Timothy nodded. “Yeah, the lead actresses are no good. I can’t find a lead actress that’d

make a great couple with him.”Upon hearing this, Elspeth decisively dragged Yelena in front of him

from behind her. “In that case, what about her?”Having kidnapped the lady last time, Timothy had to

admit he was rather embarrassed at seeing Yelena right now. However, having spent a long time in the

workplace, he had learned to know which side his bread was buttered on, so he soon regained his

composure. “Yelena, huh… She’s not one of our company’s artists, no? Wouldn’t it be a waste of time

and energy to negotiate with her agency to sign her on for the script?” Thinking from Luminous

Entertainment’s perspective, he thought it wasn’t worthwhile doing so.Elspeth shook her head.

“Yelena’s contract with her agency has ended already, so I’m going to sign her with Luminous

Entertainment. What do you think?”A bad feeling suddenly crossed Timothy’s mind. “Don’t tell me…

you want me to be her talent agent?”Elspeth snapped her fingers with a smile. “Bingo! That’s exactly

what I want you to do.”Timothy immediately objected, “I already have enough headache acting as a

talent agent for Blake alone, and now you want me to be Yelena’s talent agent as well? Why don’t you

kill me right away instead?” He really didn’t want to manage two talents at once. If this were to go on,

he’d definitely have his lifespan shortened. “I’ll double your salary.”Timothy hesitated for a moment.

“But—”“Triple.”Hearing the word ‘triple,’ Timothy suddenly thought it was every employee’s duty to give

their all for their company, so he shouldn’t shirk his duty. “I got it. I’ll work hard as her talent agent.” He

eyed Yelena up and down; the young lady’s pretty and innocent looks were simply made for teen

romance dramas. “I have eyes on a TV show that’s calling for a lead actor and a lead actress, and I

suggest that we buy the rights to the show. Trust me; the show will definitely be a big hit!” He was very

confident in his judgment.Elspeth trusted him, too. She replied with a nod, “I got it. If there’s anything

you want to do right now, just go to the Finance Department for funding. There’s no need to go out of

your way to come to me anymore.”This was the first time someone trusted Timothy so much, so he

would be lying if he were to say he wasn’t touched. At this moment, he was full of zeal and couldn’t wait

to start showing his capabilities immediately.Elspeth turned to smile at Yelena. “Alright, now that your

place isn’t safe anymore, why don’t you stay here for the time being? There are hotel suites on the third

floor. Just let Timothy pick the suite you like so that it’s convenient for you to come to work,” she said.

Then, she said to Timothy, “As for the contract, Timothy, can you help print it out? The stamp is in the

safe in my office; the passcode is six eights in a row.” With that, she left the room and returned home,

leaving Yelena and Timothy in complete bewilderment in the office. Can the passcode… be disclosed

to anyone?Elspeth didn’t go to the Winthrop Group in the afternoon. When she returned home and saw

Callum, she was startled for a moment and almost unable to come to her senses. It’s not time to get off

work yet, yet Callum is already at home. Something is amiss, no?“Where have you been?”Elspeth

noticed that Callum seemed to have heaved a sigh of relief the instant he saw her. “What’s the matter?

Only now do you know to come to me of your own accord, huh?”Callum looked away impassively. “I

only came home to fetch some documents.”He’s got nothing in his hands, yet he says he came home

to fetch documents… Elspeth clicked her tongue. “Tsk, tsk. Callum, I don’t know what you’ve gone

through, but keep in mind that if you’re still in love with me, you can tell me what you’ve come across.

We can solve it together,” she said earnestly and sincerely, but the man turned around and left as

though he hadn’t heard her.He didn’t come home that evening.At the dining table in the evening, Max

poked his fork into one of the beef ribs on his plate, asking casually, “Why haven’t I seen Mom at home

lately? Where has she been?”Theodore smiled. “Your mom has gone traveling with her friends. You

won’t get to see her for a long time.”“She didn’t even answer my phone call when I called her last time.

Why would she have no time answering the phone while having fun out there?”Theodore shot him a

glare. “It’s not easy for your mom to go out and have fun. Why would you disturb her by calling her

every day? Can’t you let her have fun to her heart’s content?”Max mulled over his words and thought

there was some truth in them. Margot hadn’t gone out traveling for a long time; she’d never had time to

go out because she’d always been looking after them at home. “Alright, but you’re probably right. Once

Callum and Elspeth get married and have kids, Mom will probably have to take care of her

grandchildren at home.”He only mentioned it thoughtlessly as a joke, but the instant he said that, the

others immediately fell silent.Elspeth bit her lower lip without saying a word, whereas Blake’s heart

twinged sharply as he was still hung up on her.Theodore laughed in an attempt to lift the atmosphere.

“Yeah, you’re right. Your mom will have to take care of her grandchildren by then.”
