Love's perfect match novel (Elspeth and Callum) -
Chapter 395
Chapter 395 Unique Taste
The young woman instantly froze. She knew that Elspeth was talking about her, but she was reluctant to just let it go. "That's not what I mean, Miss Lynwood. I was trying to say that I-"
Elspeth took a few steps forward and grabbed the woman by her chin, cutting the woman off. Then, she moved her face left and right to observe her.
"Let's not talk about how evil you are. Your appearance alone is unsatisfactory."
The young lady, who had been receiving praises about her appearance since she was young, was so mad she turned pale upon hearing that. Still, she couldn't refute Elspeth's words now.
On one hand, Elspeth's appearance was indeed several levels higher than hers. On the other hand, Elspeth was now the superior CEO of the company. The young lady was only an extra who had no right to pick a quarrel with Elspeth.
"Miss Lynwood, you have misunderstood me."
The people around didn't know what happened. All they saw was Elspeth seemingly intimidating the young lady, leaving the young lady sobbing with tears that threatened to fall.
Everyone was in a bad mood for not being selected. After seeing this, they started criticizing Elspeth.
"What a mean CEO."
"I'm glad I wasn't chosen. I think I'll go crazy from being supervised by someone like this if I worked for this company."
"Hush. She can hear you. Don't forget that the show is hers now."
"Damn. Is she really that unreasonable?"
"Stop speaking up for me! It will be bad if you are implicated because of me." The young lady thought that the power of a group could hold Elspeth down. Elspeth would surely replace it hard to defend herself wher everyone started questioning her.
Unfortunately for her, things didn't turn out the way she hoped.
Elspeth had a small smile on her face when she turned her head and threw a glance at the crowd. "She is right. What she said is true. Keep gossiping if you don't want to be extras anymore. I guarantee that you will never have a place in the entire entertainment industry."
As the CEO of Azure, she dominated half of the entertainment industry. She was not scared of the rubbish a few no-name extras spouted here.
She didn't even worry about being treated like a joke if this incident became public.
Those who stood out against her on the young lady's behalf out of indignation now pretended they weren't involved as they turned their eyes away. The small crowd soon dispersed.
"Hey!"
The young woman's eyes darted between the crowd and Elspeth. Soon, she stomped her feet before she scurried away in shame and anger.
Elspeth then glanced indifferently at Agnes and reminded, "Open your eyes and take a good look before you make friends from now on. Don't think that everyone is your friend." "Yes, Miss Lynwood."
Agnes was indeed alarmed because of what happened earlier. "Friend" isn't a word in my dictionary, she concluded.
"Alright, it's getting late now. Come to the company with me. I have something else to talk to you about."
Agnes nodded upon hearing that. Something must have come to mind again when she lifted her chin and gingerly uttered, "Miss Lynwood, there is something I would like to ask." "What is it?" Elspeth was already expecting this.
"May I ask why you picked me out of so many people? I'm not the prettiest, nor the most talented."
"In regard to your first question, I do think that you're the most good-looking one among the bunch."
Agnes was obviously taken aback. Even though people had praised her for being good-looking over the years, they wouldn't say that she was the prettiest in the group. That was why she was somewhat surprised by Elspeth's reply.
"As for the second question, how do you know you are not the most talented one if you haven't tried?"
Agnes was completely convinced when she heard that. Every word this CEO of hers said seemed to make a lot of sense.
"Why me?"
Elspeth let out a humorless smile and replied truthfully, "Because I think you look a lot like someone. You should be able to get famous easily if we package you well."
Agnes was frozen for a brief second as some thoughts that she had never seriously considered before gradually crossed her mind.
The crew began to talk about a month ago. She couldn't remember the exact details of those conversations, but the general idea was that she looked like a famous Internet celebrity called... Skylar Byron? "You mean I look similar to Skylar Byron, the Internet celebrity?"
Elspeth nodded without hesitating. "Smart cookie. Do you know which company she is signed under?"
Agnes carefully made her guess. "Your company?"
"What a teachable lady you are."
"Wouldn't it be a little conflicting if I joined the company when Skylar is already signed to your company?"
Elspeth seemed tired from standing, so she found a chair and sat down. She began to chat with Agnes. "Since I'm going to recruit you to join my company, I have to tell you something."
"What is it?" Agnes started feeling nervous when she heard Elspeth's quiet voice. "Do tell me, Miss Lynwood. I promise I won't tell anyone."
"No need to tense up. But yes, I want to tell you that I'm ready to let go of Skylar and make you popular instead."
What? Let go of Skylar? Agnes couldn't process this shocking information, and her brain instantly stopped working. No matter what, Skylar is an Internet celebrity with tens of millions of fans. How can she be let go just like that? What about all the resources that were invested in her before?
"Because I believe that you will bring me a lot of benefits. Maybe even more than she did." Elspeth smiled softly. Despite her words, she was the only one who knew the reason behind it.
Skylar might look innocent and harmless, but she secretly harbored too many evil ideas.
Elspeth wasn't sure she could make Skylar listen to her obediently, and that was why Elspeth wanted to get someone to replace Skylar.
However, this reason was overly realistic. Elspeth didn't want to tell Agnes about it just yet.
"Will you be that person?"
Agnes was unwilling to take away other people's resources. However, she felt encouraged for some reason when she saw the trust and expectation written all over Elspeth's face. As if enchanted, she bobbed her head up and down.
"Yes. I will listen to you."
Elspeth had first taken a liking to her for having a face similar to Skylar's, but after getting to know her a little bit more, she was now attracted to Agnes' seriousness and persistence.
There could only be cons to having someone like this on her side.
"In that case, let's go back to the company." Elspeth smilingly stood up and started to make a move toward the door.
"Elspeth! Are you going to abandon me just like that again?!" Yelena's angry voice rang out loud and clear from behind. "You promised to have dinner with me!"
Naturally, Agnes, who was beside Elspeth, heard every word.
"Excuse her." Elspeth flashed Agnes an embarrassed smile. "She has always been rather boisterous. I can't do anything about it."
Even though she was reproaching Yelena, her tone clearly sounded doting.
Agnes couldn't help feeling envious of Elspeth and Yelena's friendship.
"It's okay. I replace Miss Sullivan adorable."
Elspeth felt relieved, but in this situation, she could only take out her phone and send Yelena a message.
'I hired a new employee. I have to take her to the company to complete her registration for a bit. I'll buy you a meal next time.'
The wailing behind instantly became 10 times louder.
"Elspeth Lynwood, you liar!!!"
