Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

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.”

It was like Elspeth’s fan meeting at this moment, but Callum felt irritated when he saw the scene. “Don’t you have work to do? Hurry up and return to your seats! If you don’t return to your seats, you can kiss your one month’s salary goodbye!” He rebuked austerely. The male employees hunched in themselves and scurried to their seats.
