Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Chapter 247

A long while had passed, and Callum began sensing something wasn’t right when Elspeth still hadn’t surfaced from the water.

By right, the young woman wouldn’t pull such jokes on him, especially in deep waters and late at night.

The rowboat had already taken them to the center of the lake at this point, and the crew at the shore couldn’t even see them, so shouting for help wouldn’t do much at all.

Their only way of communicating with the crew would be through the video cameras around them. With that, Callum waved at them to draw the crew’s attention.

Meanwhile, at the shore, excitement surrounded the crew as they shied away from Elspeth and Callum’s passionate kiss. Amongst everyone, Yelena probably reacted the most dramatically to the scene as she gushed, “Oh, sweet baby Jesus! No, they’re so sweet together! Ah, I can’t take it anymore! Calysie forever!”

Contrasting to Yelena’s excitement was Eric’s sadness as a hint of frustration flashed across his eyes when he saw the two leaning in each other’s arms.

Max, on the other hand, patted Yelena’s head and said, “Keep it together, will you? You’re still a girl.”

“Why should I? It’s not like I don’t get to experience this. Blake and I have a kissing scene too!”

Max instantly turned grim, recollecting the fact that Yelena and his brother indeed had a kiss scene. “Will that be your first kiss?”

“Yeah, it’ll be my first on-screen kiss. I guess it will have to be Blake’s—hey!”

The young man yanked Yelena to him and attacked her lips before she could even finish her sentence.

“What the heck, Winthrop?!” Panic enveloped her face as she wiped her lips.

“I’m just preparing you to kiss a guy in case you get all shy in front of the camera.”

Max bulled so justifiably that Yelena couldn’t do anything despite feeling exasperated. “Well, since you’ve already kissed me, will you be my boyfriend?”
