Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Without Emma kicking up a fuss, Elspeth and the others entered the banquet hall and found their seats.

Mr. Aiden already had too much to drink, so his cheeks turned rosy, making him stand out even more. “We’ve finally finished filming for our drama, ‘The Moment I Met You’. Everyone, please enjoy yourselves and eat everything you want. After all, I’ve seen how hard all of you have worked for this drama. Thank you, everyone!”

Meanwhile, Max kept putting food on Yelena’s plate. “Enough, Max. I don’t want to eat that much. I’ve told you so many times that I’m on a diet. I can’t finish everything,” she complained.

“Why are you on a diet? You’re not even fat, so why are you trying to lose weight?”

She replied dramatically, “Are you saying that I’m not fat? Max, are you out of your mind? Have you seen a celebrity who weighs more than 120 pounds?”

Of course, he knew that she had gained some weight for the sake of this drama. Her little face had also become rounder, but he still found her skinny.

Although she had a face that looked like a child’s, she stood tall at almost 5’5. As such, weighing 120 pounds was just right for her; she was even slightly underweight.

“So what? I don’t mind,” Max muttered under his breath, but Yelena heard everything.

“What did you say? I heard everything. I knew it! You secretly like me and want to be with me, but you’re too embarrassed to say it.”

Hearing that, he rolled his eyes and hit her head playfully. “Stop talking nonsense. Come on, have a few more bites.”

Yelena stopped rejecting him and began eating without a care in the world. Max has already said he doesn’t mind my little bit of weight, so why should I care so much? What even is a diet? I should stop thinking about that!

When Elspeth saw them flirting with each other, she felt like an emotional father looking at his daughter who was about to get married.

At the same time, Callum was busy putting food on her plate as well. He even knew that she had germophobia, so he used the serving spoon to pick up the dishes.
