Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Elspeth’s heart skipped a beat.

She looked up and realized there was a long line of people waiting to pass them their gifts, and there was no end in sight. Meanwhile, the people who had presented the gifts already disappeared into the crowd.

She asked the butler beside her anxiously, “Mr. Wade, do you remember who passed us this gift?”

Craig Wade was startled for a moment. The box looked special, so he remembered who gave them the gift. “It was from a lady in her forties who had a veil over her face. Why are you asking about it—”

Before he could finish his words, Elspeth stood up straight and lifted the hem of her gown. Then, she dashed out of the place.

When everyone saw Elspeth running away, they were shocked.

Even Callum, who had always been calm and collected, turned gloomy.

“What is Elspeth doing, Callum? She looks like she’s running away from all this.” Max was astounded by Elspeth’s action.

Callum felt his chest tightening as a sense of unease rose within him.

“We have to trust her. Let’s wait for her return.”

It was their engagement day, so Elspeth must be fully aware of the matter’s seriousness. Since she still decided to go somewhere else, she must have her reasons for doing so.

“Why don’t you run after her? I’m worried she’ll fall into danger.” Max frowned, riddled with anxiety.

Callum nodded and pulled his tie before racing after the woman.

Seeing that, everyone at the venue was astonished. What’s going on?

The stars of the engagement party subsequently left the place. Have they been fooling us just to get our gifts?

Many of them started speculating and whispering among themselves.

Left with no choice, Yelena and Max could only face the pressure and appease everyone. At the same time, they prayed that Elspeth and Callum would come back sooner.
