Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Moriah had never been humiliated to this extent. Thus, she was instantly irritated.

“But, doctor, he just humiliated me!”

Instead of siding with her, the hospital director looked at her furious appearance and sneered, “Do you know who he is? He’s the millionaire of Waterside. Are you sure you can afford to offend him?”

Parting her lips, Moriah stuttered, “I…”

“If you want a way out, you better take the opportunity and apologize to him as soon as possible. If they give up on you eventually, I’m afraid I won’t even be able to help you!” The hospital director’s words sounded like a warning to her.

“Okay. I-I understand.”

After leaving the director’s office, Moriah tightened her fists and pondered for some time before entering Room 360.

She bumped into Elspeth once again.

Looking at Moriah’s ashen face, Elspeth wondered what happened to the woman, but she found it amusing to see her defeated look.

“Mr. Canfield, I… I’m here to apologize to you. I know I’ve caused you a lot of trouble, but I hope you can forgive me for my previous acts.”

Moriah looked pitiful as she hung her head.

Joseph Canfield wasn’t considered a harsh person. Seeing the look on her face, he decided not to pick on her anymore even though he had no intentions of being on good terms with her. “It’s alright. I don’t want to make things difficult for a young lady anyway. You may leave if there is nothing else.”

It was obvious that he was trying to kick her out.

Even though Moriah wasn’t satisfied with that, she didn’t want to stay any longer upon seeing Elspeth’s delighted appearance.

Eventually, she left.

Once Moriah left, Elspeth looked at Joseph and asked, “What did you do?”

Moriah didn’t seem like one to apologize willingly, so Joseph would surely have done something behind her back to make her do so.

Joseph had no intention of hiding it from her, so he shared the whole incident with her.
