Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Chapter 426 Never Pester Callum

Hank stretched out his right hand and lightly knocked her on the head.

"And here I was thinking that you're not very bright. I'm surprised by how quickly you got it right.

"Okay, I'm going home." After she looked at the clean clothes on her body, Yelena began to sit up when a fragment of memory suddenly flashed in her mind.

Why do I remember puking all over myself last night?

And why do I have clean clothes on now?

Considering how she could recall this, she was sure it wasn't a dream.

All of a sudden, she picked up a strange smell. She had to take a proper whiff before she realized how the fragrance from the shirt that she had on wasn't that of her laundry detergent.

"Did you take off my clothes?" she gasped.

How dare she say something so nasty! Hank's expression was completely dark when he heard that, but he continued to patiently explain the situation to her, lest she thought he was some kind of evil thug.

"It wasn't me. The part-time maid changed you out of your clothes."

Yelena was the one who undressed and went to bed last night. Fine, he did see something.

But he didn't do anything to her. Instead, he washed her clothes and dried them. When the part-time maid came to clean this morning, he told her to help Yelena get dressed so that she wouldn't accidentally expose herself after waking up.

Yelena, who was surprisingly a deep sleeper, slept through the whole ordeal.

After hearing his explanation, she realized how she had been rude earlier. She was just about to apologize to him when her phone next to her pillow began to ring.

"Elspeth, what's the matter?" She won't beat me up if she knew that I spent the night at Hank's, will she?

"Where are you now?"
