Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Ever since that day, Emma never appeared in the public eye again. Her drama, ‘Song of Viollenys’ had been taken down due to poor viewership. Soon, the central television station announced that they would be taking down any works that were related to Emma due to her poor character. This also made the actors that had collaborated with Emma hate her.

Elspeth, on the other hand, was named The Nation’s Idol because of her drama. Since the beginning, she was indifferent about joining showbiz but now, she became the hottest star. She was really lucky. Meanwhile, the director kept his word by sending the drama over and signing the contract. Elspeth had assigned this task to Timothy and he had full authority over this. He could even get the funds directly from the finance department if there was a shortage of funds.

However, Elspeth was more puzzled about that day when Callum was secretly doing something by himself instead of for her drama. He had been somewhat mysterious the past few days. These days, she had been staying in the Winthrop Residence and hadn’t returned to her villa. Thus, she didn’t know what happened to Lisa.

Elspeth’s call was answered after two rings. “Hi, who is this?”

Is that Blake? She was so startled that she almost dropped the phone. “Blake, tell me the truth. Why do you have Lisa’s phone?”

Elspeth had an ominous feeling that her dear Lisa had been taken by an unworthy man and yet, she didn’t know about it.

“Erm… She’s in the hospital. I’m taking care of her…” Blake’s voice quavered and he sounded guilty.

“Hospital?!” Elspeth’s head started spinning and she didn’t care about the relationship between them anymore. “What happened? Send me the address now. I’ll be there real soon!” Seeing that they couldn’t hide the incident from her anymore, Blake obediently sent her the address.

When Elspeth arrived at the hospital, she saw Lisa lying on the bed with a long face and Blake was sitting next to her while skinning an apple.

“Elspeth, you’re here!”

Hearing that, Lisa tried to sit up as she called out, “Elspeth…”

Seeing that, Elspeth made her lay down again.

“Alright, alright. Tell me why you’re at the hospital. Are you feeling unwell?” Elspeth looked concerned, but Lisa was too embarrassed to speak.
