Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Chapter 149

As Elspeth looked at the young woman in front of her who had a sweet smile and an innocent, adorable face, she couldn’t help but think of the woman she never met but could never forget.

Emma, Callum’s first love.

This woman shares a similar style and features to Emma.

Elspeth’s mind flashed back to Ginna, the young woman she saw at the interview, and to her surprise, Ginna looked a little similar to the woman in front of her now.

Callum’s composure broke when the young woman started speaking.

“What’s the matter, Callum?”

Elspeth was the first to notice that something was off about Callum and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“It’s nothing.”

Callum shook his head lightly. He began flipping through the papers on the table. The young woman had a list of impressive credentials, but it was the name Emma Gatling that pierced him right through the soul.

How can there be such a coincidence? They have similar looks and similar silhouettes. Even their first names are identical, with the only difference being their last name.

Elspeth saw the name as well. Her chest constricted. She felt as if she couldn’t breathe.

“Do you want to hire her?”

Callum checked the whole document, and once he saw that she majored in design, he nodded. “Since she majored in design and received this many international awards, those that came before her don’t stand out in any way over her. Let’s make her the director of the Design Department.”

Although Callum’s reasoning was solid, Elspeth still felt as if her heart was being pricked by something.

“Isn’t it a bit early to make this decision? Let’s wait until she’s worked for the company for a little longer first.”

Callum glanced at her in confusion. “Didn’t we say that we were going to choose the Design Department’s director from one of the new candidates?”
