Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Chapter 150

Once she heard that, Elspeth instantly figured out the source of her unfortunate circumstances today.

“This is the coffee you asked me to get for you two hours ago. What’s the matter? Are you going to deny it now?”

Emma had a look of realization. “Oh, I’m so sorry, Elspeth. I forgot about it. It was such a long time ago, and there was a meeting just now, so it slipped my memory. Are you okay? Look at how wet you are! It’s all my fault. You wouldn’t have had to go so far if it wasn’t because of me.”

She gave Elspeth a tender look of concern as she suggested, “Hurry up and dry yourself off, or you might catch a cold.”

Elspeth was a little doubtful at Emma’s seemingly genuine remorse.

“It’s fine.”

Although Emma seemed harmless, Elspeth could always see the traces of a taunting, calculating look in her eyes.

However, it would only flash across her eyes momentarily. Elspeth never got a clear shot of it and kept assuming she was seeing things.

From how things have been going, she might not be a bad person, but she’s definitely not easy to get along with.

Elspeth nodded without saying anything.

She had a good hunch for why the text had been listed as read now.
