Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Chapter 95

“I’m looking for Harper. Where is he?”

“He is away on a business trip, so I don’t think he is around today. By the way, who is the man who gave you a lift, Miss Lynwood? Could he be your boyfriend?” The woman nodded in a preoccupied manner.

“No.” Elspeth blushed, becoming speechless at once.

“Come on, I’m already a mother of two kids. Do you think I can’t tell what that little gesture meant? Miss Lynwood, that man seems like a decent person. Why don’t you give him a chance?”

“Who is he?” The woman asked, seemingly confused.

“His name is Callum Winthrop.”

“Wait, what? Callum Winthrop?” the woman responded, her voice going several octaves higher.

Elspeth nodded, finding the woman’s surprised look amusing. “What’s the matter?”

“Callum Winthrop may be a golden bachelor whom every lady out there wants to marry, but the way I see it, he is a little too cold and indifferent. Thus, I don’t think he’ll be a good match for you…. You deserve someone

Elspeth chuckled in amusement, recalling Callum’s words when he told her he would give her a ride to work in a helicopter earlier that morning. “Alright, since Harper isn’t here. I should probably get going. Remember, don’t tell anyone about what you saw today. Also, work hard and ease up on the gossip.” She advised her subordinate, not knowing whether her words were taken seriously by the administrator behind that smiling
