Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Hearing the voice, Elspeth finally came to her senses and glanced awkwardly at Helena. There was a guilty note in her voice as she said, “Nothing. I was just considering working.”

Helena beamed widely upon hearing that. “That’s great! We can’t possibly expect Dr. Winthrop to provide for all of us here.”

Arthur replied in a gentle voice, “It’s fine. I can afford to.”

At that point, Helena became increasingly self-conscious upon hearing his words. “That’s not fine! Even if you come from a wealthier family, Dr. Winthrop, you shouldn’t condone Elsie’s slack attitude.”

Slack attitude?!

At that moment, Elspeth made up her mind and was even more determined to work. “I’ve made up my mind to work. From tomorrow onward, I’ll return here once a week.”

In response, Arthur said calmly, “You’re allowed to get a job, but it must be a job in my company.”

He knows where I want to work but purposely stated this requirement! He’s trying to go against me!

At that moment, Elspeth was so enraged that she wanted to punch him.

As for Helena, she smiled upon hearing his words and nodded in agreement. “You’d at least have someone to seek help from if you join Dr. Winthrop’s company. I’d feel much more at ease that way.” After she said that, she suddenly realized something and asked, “But then, is your company in the medical field?”

“Yes.”

Instantly, she revealed a surprised smile. “That’s great, then! Elsie went to med school before, so she should be able to adapt to the environment.”

“Mom, I don’t want to work there.” A resigned Elspeth heaved a sigh. “I’ve already sorted out a job. I’ll be reporting for duty tomorrow.”
