Hiding Behind Her Superficiality novel Chapter 259

The anger in Elspeth’s turned to a burst of disbelieving laughter. As she was just about to give an impassioned speech, a soft chime, like the awakening of a dream, rang from her phone.

Yelena, in the next room, seemed to have woken up. Elspeth looked at the people around her; everyone knew that Yelena was awake. Soon, they marched over to the next room.

Looking at the four people standing in front of her, Yelena, who had just woken up, immediately screamed and covered her eyes.

Ah—

Elspeth was speechless. “What are you screaming about?”

“I just woke up, and I haven’t put on my makeup yet! My bare face is seen. I don’t want to live!” As a celebrity, especially a popular one, how could she let others see her bare face?

Elspeth had nothing more to say. “But we’ve seen your bare face before. What are you nervous about?”

Yelena was so triggered that she was about to explode. “But Max has never seen it. If he sees it, he might call me an ugly beast again!”

The painful experience from a few years ago was still haunting her. She used to constantly meet Max with her bare face in private while she was an emerging young talent. Max mockingly asked when he saw her, “You’re simply an ugly beast, and you still want to pursue me?”

It was a comment that had left a shadow in her heart.

Elspeth chuckled. “What’s wrong? Are you still worried that Max will dislike you for being ugly? Stop kidding. Of all these people, besides Max, weren’t we all here when you put on your makeup? We didn’t even say anything, so who gave Max the right to judge you?”

“I didn’t even say anything.” Max looked at her being silly, helplessly rolling his eyes. Only then did Yelena’s dejected attitude eventually subside.

“Okay, okay. Tell me quickly. What did you lose last night?”

After asking, Elspeth finally realized that she was a fool. Yelena was so drunk last night that she couldn’t remember anything, so Elspeth had no choice but to dismiss the thought.

“By the way, something might happen to you guys today,” Elspeth cautiously said.

Yelena and Blake spoke in unison, asking, “What?”

“You two were stripped and left in the room last night, and photos were taken by a reporter. It might hit the news headlines today.”

Bad news travels fast, doesn’t it?

Elspeth touched her nose. “This matter might be a bit embarrassing, but both of you have to hold it together.”

After hearing this, Yelena burst into tears. She had held on for so long and was finally on the brink of a breakthrough, but this event was likely to knock her back to square one.

What would Max think of me? He would surely think I am dirty and unkempt, and he would despise me. Sobs—

Yelena was crying so tragically that even Elspeth thought that she was bullying her.

“Okay, stop crying. It’s getting a little annoying.” Max’s tone was not impatient, but with just one sentence, he frightened Yelena again.

“Now everyone is getting annoyed with me. I know that men are all mean. I was wrong about you!” Yelena hummed and turned her head away, ignoring him.
