Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Chapter 435 Shall I Take You Home?

"You don't need to know."

Holly laughed suddenly. "Then, I'll tell you that Elspeth's heart belongs to Callum now. She hasn't liked you in a long time."

Hearing that, Gilbert placed his hand over his heart and replied in a calm voice, "I know."

"If you know that, why do you still like her?" she asked. "Gilbert, have you ever considered being with me?" She was never someone who kept her feelings hidden. If she wanted something, she would do everything she could to get it, and men were no exception.

"I don't have any feelings for you, so we can't be together," he said, ending the conversation abruptly. Then, he turned around and walked away.

"Even if you don't have feelings for me now, I'll make you feel something for me eventually," Holly said, clenching her fists behind him.

Gilbert stopped as he realized she would be hard to deal with. So, he grabbed a nearby girl without looking too closely and kissed her lips. "See? I'm that kind of guy."

Nevertheless, she didn't expect him to make such a move, and her eyes turned red instantly. "Since you're already so blasé, why can't you like me?"

Her words made his face darken. "I can like anyone else but not you."

After hearing that, she felt a great sense of humiliation. She never thought that he would use a bar girl to humiliate her. "She's only a bar girl! You're humiliating me with her, and you will regret it!" With that, she stomped her foot fiercely and left in a fit of anger.

Soon, he watched her walk away without any emotion on his face. He suddenly realized that he had earlier kissed a girl, so he turned to apologize to her. When he saw her face, a familiar face flashed through his mind. "You're—" he said, trying to place her.
