Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Chapter 60 Ophelia Is Back

To that, Elspeth merely sighed in response. “Max, you don’t understand…”

However, Max cut her off and said, “I’m only two years younger than you, and I understand Callum better than you do. Though he appears to speak to you coldly, he cares a lot about you.”

“I’ve decided to move out from the Winthrop Residence, Max, so you don’t have to go on any longer.”

Max was shocked when he heard that. “You’re moving out from the Winthrop Residence? Why?”

Looking at his stunned expression, Elspeth then explained, “As what you’ve said, my relationship with Callum is strained. It’ll be even more awkward if we continue to stay together.”

“You have feelings for Callum, right?”

“No!” Elspeth quickly denied it.

Max let out a light chuckle in response. “Why did you want to avoid him if you didn’t? The Miss Elspeth that I know would never try to flee from someone she dislikes.”

Elspeth was so taken aback by his words that she had no idea how to respond.

“Just admit it if you truly have feelings for him. After all, I can tell Callum likes you as well.”

Max had already made it so clear that whatever Elspeth was about to explain would merely be seen as her attempt to conceal her feelings.

Thus, she shut her mouth and remained silent for a long while.

After hesitating for a few moments, she decided to go to the company.

Just as she stepped into the company, she saw a familiar figure.

Ophelia?!

Elspeth furrowed her brows, preparing to turn around and walk away. But, before she could, Ophelia noticed Elspeth and began smilingly approaching her.

“It has been a long time since we last met, Elspeth.”

Elspeth was disgusted by Ophelia’s words, but her expression remained calm and aloof. “It has indeed been a long time. I thought you were still paying for your wrongdoings.”

She expected her words to enrage Ophelia, but to her surprise, Ophelia merely responded with a smile. “Thank you for your concern, Elspeth. I know I’ve made numerous mistakes in the past. Hence, I returned this time to make amends.”

“I hope so.”
