Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me

Chapter 327

Elspeth woke up early in the morning. As she had made all the preparations last night, all that was left was to go to work on time.The red light district was quiet in the morning as the businesses were mostly open at night. She came to the area early to familiarize herself with the neighborhood and the route. It was easy to get the information about her destination, but the complexity of the district meant it would take time to figure out how to arrive at the location.The red light district in Eden was far out from the city, and the trip would take more than ten minutes. Since the red light district was legalized, police were seen in the area. More importantly, one could see the disgusting scene of satisfied men dragging their tired bodies home.Elspeth held back her disdain and continued her journey until she heard a catcall that stopped her in her tracks.She turned around and saw a wicked-looking blond male. He had a balanced physique and the typical good looks of a foreign man. When he saw her Charic features, he whistled at her again. “Hey, lovely! Are you alone?” he asked her in bad Charish.She glared at him coldly. “Don’t mess with me. I’m not the person to mess with.”Since she was in a foreign land, she switched to Edanian. When the man realized she could speak fluent Edanian, he knew she must have lived abroad for a long time. He behaved himself and took a few steps backward with an annoyed look. “I just wanted to be friends. You don’t know how to appreciate kindness, do you?”Despite his claim, he had a disdainful look in his eyes. He knew the characteristics of women who visited the red light district and believed that she was immoral in some way—she was either here to sell herself or to seal some shady deals.She fisted her hands and stared at him in amusement. “Why? Don’t you have friends?”The man’s face turned a deep shade of red. “Watch your mouth!”Since Elspeth had just arrived in Eden, she did not want to get into trouble. Even though the man vexed her, she calmed herself and focused on getting her task done.“That’s enough. I don’t want a fight. Remember, be respectful next time.” With that, she spun around, her wavy long hair slapping his face as though she was slapping him with her hand.The man was upset to let her leave, but he could not win the argument anyway. In the end, he gritted his teeth and endured the humiliation. He could not get into physical altercations in the red light district because he would be sent to jail. Elspeth probably had the guts to provoke him because she

understood the law.After leaving the area, she hurriedly went in search of her workplace. Using her connections, she was able to arrive at the territory of the boss she was looking for.The rotten stench from the night before lingered in the air. Some cleaners were cleaning up the streets, but the mix of the disinfectant and the foul smell only produced a worse stink.There was no one around. She stepped forward and whispered to the cleaner, “Hello, Madam. Is Logan Chapman here?”The woman had Charic features and was dressed modestly, but Elspeth decided to use Edanian with her.A moody glimmer flashed across the woman’s eyes when she heard that Elspeth was searching for Logan. “This is not where you should be.” Her wrinkles trembled as she spoke, as though she had a layer of dehydrated skin on her. It was disturbing to watch.Feeling perplexed, Elspeth took a few steps forward.“Back off! Back off now!” When the woman recognized Elspeth’s features, she suddenly waved her broom like a nutcase, forcing her to retreat.“Why—”“You’re her child! Get lost!”Elspeth sensed that the woman must be referring to Helena.“May I know your relationship with my mom?” Despite being treated horribly, Elspeth was polite to the woman.Seeing that, the woman calmed herself down but reacted in a hateful tone. “How many times have I told you not to come here? Also, I don’t like you. Don’t talk to me or ask me questions.”Elspeth finally picked up on the sophisticated aura of the woman clad in the cleaner’s uniform. She wondered if the woman was once the daughter of a wealthy family.“Madam…”The woman seemed to be triggered upon hearing that title and flipped. “How many times have I told you not to call me ‘Madam’?”Elspeth nodded and watched the woman pack her cleaning tools in a hurry. The woman left very soon as if she was fleeing.What a weird woman. She was curious about the oddity of the woman. However, the woman was wearing thick clothes that only revealed part of her face, so she could not identify her at all. Ah, never mind! If she doesn’t want to tell me, I will look for Logan Chapman myself.She walked down the road and finally arrived at the destination where she unearthed herself. Compared to other shops, the store in front of her looked smaller in size.Rumor had it that Logan Chapman was extremely wealthy and was the de facto ruler of the area with his influence. Hence, she was surprised to find him running a tiny store.She pushed the door open and immediately came to a realization when she spotted the understated but luxurious decor within. The other stores were ornate on the outside but average-looking on the inside. Logan’s storeAll content is © N0velDrama.Org.

was different—each corner was exquisitely designed and attractive.While she was marveling at the interior, she heard a voice from behind. “Are you the young lady who’s here for a job?”She turned around and found herself staring into a pair of old but weathered eyes.…Callum alighted from the flight at 2.00AM in Eden. Soon, a chartered car arrived to pick him up and send him to the hotel. There, he quickly unpacked his belongings and took a nap.He thought he could immediately attend the meeting with the representatives of Bluestone Corp, but the company’s executive manager, who was meeting up with him, did not look keen to discuss collaboration right away.Sitting in a private lounge at the hotel, Callum glanced at his well-groomed counterpart in disgust.“I thought we agreed to discuss the collaboration after signing the contract. Is your CEO going back on their words?” Callum’s assistant felt angered at how Bluestone Corp sent an executive manager for the meeting.The manager was slick and did not reveal any sign of annoyance after Callum’s assistant pointed fingers at him. He explained, “Well, our CEO has been busy lately. That’s why they sent me to entertain you.”From the way he emphasized the word ‘entertain’, one could sense the sarcasm in his tone.
