Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Chapter 486 Head Over Heels

“I bet you didn’t get to see Haris’ expression. He was so angry.” Elspeth was almost out of breath from laughter.

“Are you in a better mood now?” Callum’s voice softened considerably when he was talking to her.

“Of course, I am.” She rose to her feet and stretched. “I didn’t do anything today, but not only did I watch a good drama for free, but I also got a victory out of it.” It would be nice if every day could be as easy as it was today.
