Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Callum touched Elspeth’s waist with one hand and felt that she was too thin.

I guess I’ll have to make her have more food.

Certainly, Elspeth was annoyed by the man’s titillating words. As such, she subconsciously gave him a kick.

Callum was enjoying this lovely moment when he felt a kick on his body. His expression changed as he released the woman and moved away. “What are you doing, Elspeth?”

“Jerk! You’re just as perverted as Blake. No, you’re more perverted than him!”

Before Elspeth was done criticizing the man, she was pulled into his embrace. “Alright, stop throwing a tantrum. We’ll get engaged in a few days. What’s the point of you kicking up a fuss now?”

Elspeth was still reeling from the shock of the incident regarding Lisa and Blake when she heard the man bring up the engagement. At that instant, she was dumbfounded.

“What do you mean that we’re getting engaged in a few days?”

“Have you forgotten about what we said in Waterside? To stop the rumors from spreading, we have to get engaged to save ourselves from embarrassment.” Callum stared at her. Despite his calm expression, he appeared dangerous. “Do you plan on going back on your word?”

Elspeth shook her head. “I won’t do that. However, something has been bothering me recently, so I’m not in the mood to get engaged to you.”

“What’s the matter?”

Elspeth glanced at him, appearing to be in a dilemma. “You know, Yelena loves Max, but he’s an obstinate and egoistic guy who wouldn’t easily tell others about his feelings. I’ve been pondering on how to make him fulfill his promise.”

“That’s easy.” A smile played on Callum’s lips. “I’ll help you make Max propose to Yelena in three days.”

Elspeth’s eyes sparkled like stars. “Are you serious? Can you really do that?”

“There’s a condition, though. After we succeed, you have to get engaged to me at once.”

Elspeth was all over the moon, so she agreed to it without hesitation. “Sure. Maybe I’ll persuade Yelena to get engaged at the same time as us.”

Callum was startled as he had never thought of that. The idea of two couples getting engaged on the same day sounds interesting. Moreover, I can make use of this incident.

With a smile, Callum nodded and leaned in closer to say something to the woman.

“Will that work? I’m worried he’ll be pushed over the edge.”

Elspeth felt uneasy.
