Hiding Behind Her Superficiality novel Chapter 134

Chapter 134

Time had taken away her beauty.a Once her husband had met someone more beautiful than her, he would forget about the promises he made to her. After all, a crooked wife was nothing compared to a beautiful maiden.

“Cheating is a sin. Why don’t you just get a divorce?” Elspeth patted her shoulder and suggested.

“How can I? I still have a child waiting for me back at home. I can’t get a divorce for the sake of my child.” The woman sighed deeply. Then, she seemed to have remembered something as she stood up. “I still have to get back home and feed my child. Sorry to bother you guys.” She smiled kindly.

The woman surrounding her sighed and felt pity for the woman to have such a bad marriage.

In the end, the man in question said nothing. Once he heard that the woman had come to his office, he ran out and hadn’t even returned.

Initially, Elspeth was going to ask Callum to fire this irresponsible man. However, she suppressed the thought since she didn’t want the man’s wife and child to suffer.

Once it was over, Elspeth went to the rooftop by herself. Just as she was enjoying some time alone, Callum appeared out of nowhere and sat beside her.

“I heard you called me your boyfriend.”

Never did Elspeth expect that he would have heard her words. At that moment, she blushed and said, “Don’t take it seriously. I said it just to make her go away.”

“It doesn’t matter if you were serious. Now that everyone knows about it, it would be awkward if you were not my girlfriend.”

Callum looked at her seriously. His heart was beating wildly as he looked at her flushed face under the sunset.

“1-I can’t just accept this.”

When Callum sensed that Elspeth would agree to be his girlfriend unless he did it the proper way, he chuckled. Then, he found the loophole in her words and asked, “Does that mean you will be mine if I confess my love to you?”

At that moment, Elspeth was shocked since she didn’t expect Callum to be smart.

After all, who wouldn’t want their date to be as decent as possible?

Just like that, Elspeth was being dragged outside of the company. Looking at her stunned expression, Callum snapped his fingers. At that moment, a truck filled with roses slowly stopped in front of her.

A bouquet of roses would be lovely, but this… Elspeth couldn’t handle it. Looking at the truck, she could only sense wealth rather than the romantic feeling she wished she had felt.

Since it was off hours, everyone from the company was leaving. They were astonished when they saw the truck that was filled with roses.

“Dang. I have seen people who gave nine, ninety-nine, and nine hundred and ninety-nine roses. This is the first time I have ever seen such a scene. I bet there are a million roses in it.”

“Did you see Mr. Winthrop? Didn’t Mr. Edmund say that they are a couple? I bet he is flirting with his girlfriend.

“Of course, it is her. Who would be richer than her?”

Since Elspeth was just in front of them, she could hear every word they said. At that moment, she felt her lips twitch and was too stunned to speak. Is this romantic?

Her expression and reaction were not what he anticipated. Hmm… This is kind of odd. He couldn’t help frowning.

Why is it different from what Matthew said? He told me that girls like roses. The more, the better. Thus, I bought every rose I could find in the flower shop. However, judging from her look, she doesn’t look happy.

“Don’t you like it?” Callum’s heart dropped when he saw her awkward expression.

At that moment, Elspeth smiled stiffly. “I love it. This is the first time I had ever seen someone give a girl a whole truck of roses.”

Hearing her words, Callum thought, Although she looked somewhat weird, she must have liked it. I guess she is still shocked by this surprise. After she snaps out of it, she will be excited and rushed toward me.
