Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

“So, he had a first love. What about it?”

“That was three years ago, but the girl went missing. He liked her back then and spent a long time looking for her, but unfortunately, she passed away. Because of this, he became depressed before he placed all his focus on his work. That’s why he managed to make the company such a huge success in two years.”

That means that Jordan is a fool in love too, Elspeth mused.

“All right, let’s stop talking about this. Since you’re already seeing each other, you should enjoy your time together. Anyway, I think that the two of you are quite similar.”

Elspeth shook her head with a smile. “Two people who are similar to one another can’t be together. If the person I’m dating is like me, what’s the point of dating them?”

Different things could only be gained from two people who could make up for each other’s flaws, after all.

“But…”

“Okay, I was just saying. Don’t overthink it.”

She stood up and continued, “I promise to tell Old Mr. Joneson to have you discharged from the hospital. Right, I’ll be leaving now.”

“So soon? Stay and talk to me a bit longer, will you? It’s been a long time since I’ve talked to someone my age. That old geezer who comes to check on me every day keeps forcing me to take my medicine. I can barely take it anymore.”

Elspeth turned around with a bright smile. “Shall I find some pretty nurses for you, then?”

Frank’s expression instantly darkened at her words. “Shut up.”

Soon, Elspeth learned of another piece of news. It seemed that someone was behind the scandal between Callum and Emma this time, fanning the flames and aggravating the situation. Because of this, things at Winthrop Group were getting out of hand.

Although Elspeth did not intend to interfere with Callum’s affairs, she had put too much effort into Winthrop Group that she couldn’t just sit back and do nothing. Hence, she immediately called Callum.

“Did you find out who’s behind all this?”

“I did. It’s Alphascape Group and Arthur’s work,” Callum said, his exhaustion seeping through his voice.

“Then, what are you going to do?”
