Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

“I have a request, but if you’re not available at the moment, forget it.”

Elspeth had a lot on her mind.

If Harper was at the bar at this hour, he must be seeing his old lover. Elspeth decided not to bother them.

“I see. Why don’t I get Lisa to follow you? She’s qualified now, and I have to say, she’s not my disciple for nothing. I—”

Elspeth couldn’t be bothered to listen to him rambling on, so she hung up right away.

Harper thought, How disrespectful!

Elspeth looked at the two beside her and smiled awkwardly. “Sorry about that.”

Blake knew that he wasn’t needed here, so he stood up. “I have something to attend to, so if everything’s okay, I’ll be leaving now.”

Anyone could see that Blake was just finding an excuse to escape; he didn’t have anything to attend to.

Meanwhile, Callum was quite satisfied with Blake’s behavior. “Alright. Call me if anything comes up.”

Blake faked a smile. Callum was acting like a big brother again. Just moments ago, Callum had such a foul expression that Blake thought Callum would kill him.

With that, Blake walked outside. He had just made his way to a flowerbed in the hospital when he noticed a girl in black. She wore her hair in a high ponytail, and there was not a sliver of emotion on her cold face.

She must have run into something… Blake thought. He lowered his head and saw someone lying on the ground. In an instant, he realized what was going on.

The guy on the ground was probably trying to scam her.

Still, this icy-cold beauty was quite good-looking.

At first glance, she looked decent with a small face and large, watery eyes. She had nicely shaped lips as well, and she looked like a perfect model.

At second glance, she seemed very cold and distant. She exuded a standoffish aura, making the cold weather even colder.

She was a peculiar girl, but she had nothing to do with him.

Blake was about to leave when the girl’s unbelievable actions stopped him in his tracks.

She retrieved several bills worth hundreds from her pocket and tossed them at the guy on the ground.
