Chapter 39 Someone Is Following Us
Elspeth glared at Linda coldly. “Is that why you hacked everyone’s computer and framed me for it? You’re awful. Now, not only will you never be promoted as the supervisor, you’ll be fired.”
She turned and looked at her assistant. “Inform Mr. Winthrop that a person has jeopardized the company’s security, and I request for his presence.”
The moment Linda heard that Callum would be arriving, she immediately lost her arrogance and slumped to the floor dejectedly.
When he came, he saw Elspeth sitting on the chair, watching the drama unfold with amusement, while Linda squatted on the ground and bawled.
Elspeth chuckled. “Mr. Winthrop, your good old employee tried to set me up, and I exposed her tricks. What do you think should be done?”
“I understand. I’ll be firing her according to the company’s regulations.” There was no warmth in his voice.
Linda lunged forward and hugged Callum’s thigh while sobbing, “No, Mr. Winthrop, please don’t fire me! I’ve been working here for so many years. I don’t want to leave. Please forgive me! Please!”
“I’ll give you one second to release me, or it won’t be as simple as you being fired.” The temperature around Callum plummeted at her actions.
Linda knew what he was capable of, so she hastily backpedaled.
The farce ended with her leaving the company in an utter mess. After the farce was over, Elspeth looked at her colleagues and smiled. “Don’t worry about your computers. I’ll restore them now.”
“You’re amazing!” The colleagues were so astonished that their jaws dropped. She was already a perfect woman; now, they discovered that she could even crack computer viruses! Was there anything that she couldn’t do?
Elspeth smiled faintly. “I’ll recreate a code on my computer and transfer it to yours. Everything will be fine. Don’t worry.”
“Elspeth, where did you learn how to crack computer viruses? It’s so cool!” The male colleagues had gathered around her and were full of awe. She looked exactly like the hackers in the movies! It was amazing!
“I learned some tricks from a foreigner while abroad a few years ago.” She smiled bashfully. “It’s nothing great.”

“I didn’t do anything.” His words stupefied Elspeth.
“Try not to go out alone with Blake. You guys just shot commercials as a couple. If someone took photos of you in private, we would face a PR blunder.” Callum frowned in displeasure.
Elspeth nodded in agreement and looked out the window. Suddenly, she noticed a car was following them while keeping a moderate distance, and the car’s speed would change according to their pace.
“Hey, I think that car is…”
“I know.” Callum said seriously, “I see it too.”
The Winthrop Family’s residence was located in the suburbs, and they were now driving on a deserted path. It was likely that there would be some kind of accident.
He stepped on the accelerator to speed up. Sure enough, the car behind them also sped up, and they began a high-speed chase.
“Watch out!” Elspeth was a little anxious. The speed they were driving was worrying and dangerous.
“Don’t worry.”
Despite that, he drove the car smoothly, but the driver behind them had excellent driving skills, too, and almost caught up with them.
Next, the car behind them accelerated, overtook Callum’s car and blocked their way.
“Callum Winthrop! Get out of the car!”
The people from that car got out of the car and yelled at him. He knew they were after him, so he turned and said, “They’re here because of me. I’ll distract their attention later. Leave as soon as possible.”
“Do you think I’ll leave you alone under such circumstances?” Elspeth’s glance was earnest. “You saved me so many times. How can I do that to you?”
“Elspeth!” Callum frowned, and his tone became stern. “Stop messing around.”
She chuckled and flexed her wrist. “If you think of me as a weak and useless woman, you’re dead wrong.”
He looked at her confident face and felt a different emotion growing within his heart.
