Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Elspeth… She is out on a date. No, wait… she is returning a favor.

Since Lisa knew that she couldn’t hide it from Callum because he was smart, she decided to tell the truth. “She is out eating with a friend.” She even emphasized ‘friend’ because she was afraid that he misunderstood her words.

“A friend? Guy or girl? Why won’t she answer my call while eating with her friend?” As Callum spoke, his expression darkened. At that moment, he could tell that Elspeth was with another man. She still went out with her friend, even though it was in the middle of the night. Plus, she tells Lisa to come back, which means they are alone.

Lisa was scared that he would get mad and quickly added, “They used to be friends. He was just going to return her a favor.”

In the middle of the night? What favor is he returning? Callum thought.

Then, he stood up and said, “Let’s go.”

When Lisa heard his words, she knew that he was off to find Elspeth. Should I call Elspeth and tell her about this? Maybe not. After all, her phone was dead, so I wouldn’t be able to call her, not to mention that she hadn’t answered Callum’s calls.

As Lisa thought about it, she looked at Callum’s grim expression and felt that Elspeth was doomed.

You are on your own with this one, Elspeth…

After Callum had left, Lisa felt something was wrong with her, as her body was getting hotter. At that moment, she was suspicious of the powder the director had sprinkled over her. Since it was a crucial moment, she didn’t have the time to think about it. However, judging by her experience, this was an aphrodisiac, not a poison!

As soon as she thought about it, her whole body went limp. It was as if her bone had dissolved as she melted on the ground like a puddle. At this moment, someone had called her. She managed to take out her phone and saw that it was Blake.

“Why can’t I get through Elspeth’s line, Lisa? I have something to tell her. Are you with her at the moment?”

However, Lisa couldn’t answer him. She didn’t have the antidote to this medicine, and on top of that, Elspeth had not been making these kinds of medicine recently.

“Hello? Are you there, Lisa? Why aren’t you answering me? Have you fallen asleep?” Blake bombarded her with questions.
