Hiding Behind Her Superficiality novel Chapter 104

Chapter 104

Elspeth was startled, and before she could even respond, Callum had left.

All of a sudden, her phone started ringing. She glanced at the screen and answered when she saw it was Blake who was calling.

She heard Blake’s deep voice coming through the phone. “Are you busy after work, Elspeth? If you’re not, can you come to my concert?”

Elspeth nodded. “Sure. I’ll be right there.”

When she got to the venue, she found that it was filled to the brim. She had to squeeze her way through to the front where her seat was.

The concert went on for a while and Callum had yet to come. Elspeth began to lose interest and her mind started wandering.

Blake’s singing has improved a lot. He sounds more emotive now, she thought to herself.

“To thank my fans for your loyal support, we’re going to select one person at random to come up and receive a mystery gift from me.”

The light shone down on Elspeth and she couldn’t avoid it. She was now under the watchful eyes of everyone.

Blake smiled at her. “It’s Miss Elspeth Lynwood. Please come up on the stage to receive your prize.”

Elspeth had no choice but to go along with it and head up the stage, but she had a bad feeling about it when she saw Blake staring at her affectionately.

“The mystery gift from me is… a kiss!”

As soon as those words came out of Blake’s mouth, the tens of thousands of young women beneath the stage began to scream and wail.

“Why wasn’t I the one Blake chose?!”

“I want to share a kiss with Blake too!”

“Blake has never gotten close with any woman. Could this be his first kiss?!”

Elspeth looked at Blake with a stiff expression. “This doesn’t seem right.”

Blake moved the mic away and quietly replied a little helplessly, “I don’t have a choice either. It’s what the company wanted, not me.”

However, he wasn’t about to tell Elspeth the truth.

Elspeth felt her hair standing on end at the thought of kissing Blake. “I still don’t think it’s appropriate.”

Blake smiled as he drew nearer. “It’s my first on-screen kiss, Elspeth. You should enjoy it.”

Elspeth stood awkwardly on the stage. When she saw him suddenly approaching, she couldn’t avoid him and thus, she instinctively closed her eyes.

The expected kiss did not happen.

Instead, a gentle kiss fell on her forehead.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Blake’s so gentle!”

“Thank goodness it’s not a kiss on the lips, or else I’d die from grief!”

“It’s so sweet! I’m going to get diabetes!”

At the very last second, Blake held himself back and chose to kiss Elspeth on the forehead.

He knew he had to be patient and not jump the gun lest Elspeth started despising him.

Elspeth opened her eyes and saw Blake’s smiling face. Her heart settled back in place.

She had only just regained her composure when she felt a piercing gaze on her.

She turned to look and saw Callum standing there with a furious look in his eyes. His entire body was

emanating a chilly air.

When did Callum arrive?
