Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Elspeth and Arthur rendezvoused at the office in Winthrop Group.

After the move Jordan pulled the other day, Callum didn’t feel safe letting Elspeth meet up with people anywhere else. The safest place would be the company.

It wasn’t long before Arthur opened the door and came striding into the room.

“What is this, Callum? What bullsh*t are you and Elspeth up to this time?” He scoffed and plopped on a chair, his eyes fixed on her.

“Arthur, I have something to tell you about your birth parents’ death.”

Before she could say anything more, Arthur’s face fell and he warned, “Callum, I don’t mind talking if you don’t bring up this sh*t.”

“You don’t still think that your father is the murderer of your family, do you? Arthur, you wouldn’t have held onto your grudge against Mr. Winthrop who has raised you for decades if your brain functions even a bit!”

Elspeth didn’t hold back at all. She had nothing to say to Arthur.

Arthur let out a soft chuckle at first before his laugh erupted into a full-blown chortle. “What do you know, Elspeth? It wasn’t your parents who died, and you weren’t the one who was raised being preferred over someone else. What right do you have to stand on the moral high ground and criticize me? Who do you think you are?”

Seeing him laughing maniacally, Elspeth took a glance at the restroom at the side.

Someone walked out right then and called out, “Arthur!”

It was Arthur’s birth father, Yoel Blue.

Arthur was taken aback as he looked at this familiar yet unfamiliar man in front of him, and he suddenly didn’t know what to say.
