Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me?

When Yelena heard that Elspeth was in town, she headed straight to the lounge and found her perched on the couch sipping coffee; she lunged towards her and gave her a big hug.

“Elspeth, Elspeth! Today, Timothy offered me another role, and this time it’s not the dumb and sweet leading lady. It’s a bad*ss, cool second female lead. I looked at the script, and the character is so likable. I really love it!”

Elspeth smiled. “That’s great, but that’s not why I asked you to come over.”

“Then, what is it?”

Yelena had been cooped up in the office these days, not knowing what was going on with Elspeth.

“Do you remember the framing incident from last time?”

Indeed, she would not be able to forget that, so she nodded vigorously. “Of course, I remember. Wasn’t it resolved already? Wait, don’t tell me Emma Walker, that two-faced, is causing trouble again?”

Elspeth shook her head. “No, it’s that you promised the people something with Max. You should follow through with it.”

What did I promise?

Her mind immediately caught on. “OMG! You’re not talking about us getting engaged, are you?”

“Yes, when are you guys planning to get engaged?”

Elspeth’s words stirred up a storm in Yelena’s mind.

The engagement wasn’t something that she had put much thought into, as she always felt that Max was just joking around. Plus, if they were really going to get engaged, Max should be the one to come to her. If he didn’t make a move, she wouldn’t have the audacity to shamelessly go up to him!

“Alright, you know that Max is not expressive. Have you forgotten how he was? Even if he truly likes you, he will not have the audacity to bring up the engagement himself.”
