Hiding Behind Her Superficiality novel Chapter 51

Chapter 51 Accident on a Business Trip

After hearing that, Elspeth couldn’t help laughing and said, “I have nothing to do with Callum, not to mention meddling in their relationship.”

Ginna was so paranoid.

“Miss Lynwood, you are smart, but I have my own judgment.” She stroked her hair and continued, “When you’re with Callum, I can see the hidden emotion you two have, or I wouldn’t have come all the way here to see you.”

Elspeth looked at her coldly and reassured her, “Don’t worry. Nothing is going on between the two of us.”

“That’ll be the best. I’m leaving tomorrow on a flight at 8.00AM, but I must remind you that my sister will be back in six months. So, I suggest you keep your distance from Callum; otherwise, you’ll be the one who ends up getting hurt.” After saying those words, Ginna got up and left.

Was Emma coming back soon?

Elspeth’s eyes were dim and hard to distinguish. Lowering her head, she took another sip of wine.

When Harper returned, she had already passed out from drinking. When he leaned closer to her, she was mumbling someone’s name. “C-Callum Winthrop… B*stard…”

Sure enough, it was Callum who made her upset. However, now that she was drunk, Harper couldn’t send her home, so he carried her upstairs to the lounge instead.

When Elspeth woke up and found herself lying in the lounge upstairs of the bar. He had already left, but beside her were a new set of clothes and a bottle of powdered Ganoderma. Then, she got up, took a shower, changed her clothes, and left the bar.

She returned to Winthrop Residence with her items, and the moment she walked in, she noticed Callum reading on the couch. Since it was the weekend, he didn’t go to work. He wore dark blue pajamas, which made him look neat and gentle, unlike his usual aloof appearance.

“Are you back?”

He seemed to have forgotten their minor argument the night before and took the initiative to talk to her.

Instead of responding, Elspeth snorted at him.

“Don’t go drinking at night anymore. You reek of alcohol.”

Smelling the faint scent of jasmine on her body, she frowned. “I don’t reek of alcohol.”

Without uttering another word, Callum closed the book.

“Did you send your men to stalk me?”

A quick possibility flashed in her mind.

His gaze was calm as he replied, “No. My father sent someone to follow you in case something happens.”

Hearing his explanation, she felt uneasy. “If that is the case, I don’t need your concern. I’m going to sleep now. Bye.”

Just as she was heading upstairs, her arm was yanked. “Don’t get worked up.” Callum softened his voice for the first time, trying to have a good talk with Elspeth.

She wanted to break free but realized she couldn’t, so she stared at him with fierce eyes. “Callum, it’s none of your business whether I’m angry or not. Let me go.”

“I’m going on a business trip this afternoon for two days, and my dad said that you have to accompany me.” When he said that, his eyes were clear, and it didn’t seem like he was lying.

Elspeth intended to refuse him, but she realized that if Theodore was the one who wanted her to go, she would have to bite her tongue.

“Why does Mr. Winthrop wants me to go with you?” She couldn’t figure out how Theodore found out about Callum’s business trip and purposefully wanted her to accompany Callum.

When he noticed that she had calmed down, he let go of her and replied, “Maybe he wants us to spend more time together and try to get along.”
