Chapter 404 Stop Poking Your Nose Into Someone Else's Business

The next day, Elspeth arrived at the company early. As soon as she stepped into the building, Jethro grabbed her arm.

"What is the meaning of this, Elspeth? You have never contacted me ever since you left my house." Jethro was furious. Ever since Elspeth left, she had been avoiding his calls and messages. It had been two days since she last replied to him on Facebook.

On the other hand, Elspeth was calm. Seeing that he was furious, she smiled and said, "I just think that we have nothing much to talk about. That's why I didn't reply to you."

Her words made him feel like he had punched the air, and he released her in annoyance. Then, he looked at her with a hint of guilt and expectation. "It's Jennifer's fault for what happened last time. My family has found out about it and wants to apologize to you. Thus, I am hoping that you will come by again."

When Elspeth heard she had to go to the Wilstone Residence again, she refused without hesitation. "It's fine. I don't think it's much of a deal. After all, it's normal for girls to be hot-tempered." Her voice was filled with refusal.

Jethro knew she was still afraid of what had happened, so he didn't push her and said to meet another time. Initially, he was angry and wanted to question her. However, after talking to her for some time, he could only leave while feeling defeated.

After dealing with this matter, Elspeth went to look for Agnes. It's been days since I got Agnes to familiarize herself with everything here. Plus, I told Harper to look after her. She should have figured things around here by now, thought Elspeth.

When she found Agnes, the latter was learning how to film videos. After Agnes had been in the company for some time, Elspeth could feel that she had matured.

"How is it going, Agnes?" she asked.

When Agnes saw her, she smiled and replied, "I have learned a lot of things, Miss Lynwood."

"Good." Elspeth nodded. Just then, Skylar approached her and said, "Have you seen today's news yet, Miss Lynwood?"

"No. What's the matter?"

Seeing that Elspeth was clueless, Skylar looked at her in disdain and said, "You should keep an eye on the news, Miss Lynwood. Today, a new talent management company called Elsean Entertainment was established. I heard that the president of Bluestone Corp is behind this. Moreover, they've hired a famous streamer named Aldea Smith, who recently returned from abroad."

Although Elspeth was overwhelmed by the information, she still picked out several keywords-Elsean Entertainment, Bluestone Corp, and Aldea.

When she heard the name of the company, she thought about Arthur and felt that this name had something to do with her. In a split second, she shuddered at the thought of it. She was not surprised that Arthur would start a business in the industry.

Although Callum looked down on this industry and refused to start a business, Arthur was different. He was a man who would do anything as long as there were profits to it. On the other hand, Elspeth felt like Aldea was the girl who had been sent to the hospital last time.

"Okay. I understand."

When Skylar saw how calm Elspeth was about this, she felt unhappy. "They are stepping on us, Miss Lynwood. Don't you think our company should do something since we have such a strong company as our enemy?"

Frankly speaking, Skylar didn't care about Elsean Entertainment. What mattered to her was Aldea, the streamer who had Bluestone Corp's full support-be it money or resources. However, Elspeth had not done any of those and even hired a backup for her to share her profit. Thus, she found it unfair. After all, she didn't think that Aldea was any better than her in terms of looks or skills.

Although Elspeth could tell what Skylar was plotting, she didn't want to expose her. "What do you have in mind, then?" she asked Skylar.

"I heard that their company is holding an event. Maybe we should do that too." Skylar needed to replace an opportunity since her resources were dwindling.

Seeing that she had been planning this, Elspeth nodded and said, "Sure. We will do that too. I know that Azure Corporation has revealed a new friendship ring. I was thinking of getting someone to endorse the product and market it to the masses. Why don't I give this opportunity to you and Agnes?"

When Skylar heard the first part of Elspeth's suggestion, she was thrilled since she had never endorsed such a classy product. After all, the jewelry pieces made by Azure were widely known in Damoria. If she were to be its endorser, she would be famous. However, she was dissatisfied with what Elspeth mentioned toward the end.

Although Elspeth was overwhelmed by the information, she still picked out several keywords-Elsean Entertainment, Bluestone Corp, and Aldea.

Why should Agnes, who is only a beginner with few followers, take on the endorsement with me? We are on different levels, after all.

She had thought it through with her words, and even Agnes felt that Skylar was right. After all, she was a newbie. Hence, Agnes felt like she would ruin such expensive jewelry if she were to take up the job. Just as she was about to refuse the proposal, Elspeth spoke up. "You must have mistaken me, Skylar. Personally, I think Agnes' presence is suitable for this piece of jewelry. It's a friendship ring, which is why you're getting a chance as well. If you are unwilling to shoot the advertisement with Agnes, I might as well replace her a new partner."

Agnes and Skylar were dumbfounded by Elspeth's words. At this moment, the two girls realized that Elspeth only considered Skylar a second option.

At that moment, Skylar was red in the face, but she didn't dare say anything. "I'm sorry, Miss Lynwood. I shouldn't have been so aggressive. After all, Agnes is a newcomer. It's also best if she were to be given opportunities like this. Since it's settled, when do we start the photoshoot?" she said softly.

At this moment, she didn't dare go against Elspeth. After all, she would have lost such a great opportunity if Elspeth had been provoked by her words and refused to let her take part in this.

When Elspeth heard her words, she crossed her arms and smiled brightly, "Oh? I thought you refused to collaborate with Agnes. You don't have to force yourself to accept this if you are unwilling to. I won't force you."

Hearing her words, Skylar was startled. She didn't know Elspeth would be so ruthless.

"I didn't mean it that way, Miss Lynwood. I was just considering the benefits of the company. After all, Agnes still isn't well-known yet, so I was afraid she wouldn't do justice to the jewelry."

"It is the people who create the algorithm. After this endorsement, she will be well-known. You don't have to worry about her. Just look out for yourself." What a nosy woman she is, thought Elspeth.
