Hiding Behind Her Superficiality

Chapter 255

“Don’t interrupt me. Thirdly, you must stay by my side at all times and stay within ten feet of me.” As soon as Callum spoke, Elspeth fell silent instantly.

“What’s wrong? Why aren’t you saying anything? Do you have any objections to what I just said?” He furrowed his brows, his tone showing a hint of dissatisfaction.

After shaking her head, she pointed to her stomach. “What if I need to go to the washroom? Are you going to follow me there too?”

“I’ll wait outside. It shouldn’t be a big deal.”

When she heard his answer, she chuckled. “Of course not, but your name will be topping the trending charts tomorrow. ‘Callum Winthrop, the eldest son of the Winthrop Family, enjoys squatting outside the women’s washroom. Is this the extinction of humanity or the decline of morality?’”

As she said that, she felt like it seemed a little impolite, so she shut her mouth after that. Meanwhile, she studied his expression since she was afraid that he would deliver a slap to her face.

“Is there a problem with me waiting for my girlfriend outside the washroom?” he asked.

Never mind, it’s impossible to reason with this stubborn man. She wouldn’t argue with him, for he had immersed himself in his theory. Anyhow, she didn’t believe there would ever come a day when he would wait outside the washroom for her.

But soon, she realized that she was wrong. He would stick to her like glue on set, even when she went to the washroom. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Even though Callum didn’t think much of it, this strange scene quickly caught everyone else’s attention, and it was no longer just a simple matter. Many young girls on set harbored romantic fantasies about him, and some of them had never been in a relationship before.

One day, two young girls went to the washroom together and saw him persistently guarding the door. Their hearts trembled greatly.

“Does he have some kind of fetish?” asked one of the girls, her voice shaky.

At the thought of this, the other girl’s heart shattered, and she looked at Callum in disbelief, saying, “I’m not sure, but I didn’t know he’s the type to… Are all men so perverted when they’re in love?”

Callum never thought he would one day be described as perverted. Despite being frustrated, his gaze toward the two girls remained icy and bloodcurdling.

The two girls hoped he could look at them for a longer time, but… it shouldn’t be at the entrance of the washroom! They started panicking and moved at a faster pace, but the moment they were about to step into the washroom, they retreated right away. The girls hurriedly left the scene while holding each other’s hands, for they couldn’t use the washroom in peace at the thought of someone waiting outside.

Although this incident did not cause any serious consequences, it made Callum stop waiting at the washroom’s entrance.

For Elspeth, it was good news.

Filming had finally come to a wrap, so the director organized a banquet, inviting all the actors to a hotel for a meal. As some put it, it was a farewell dinner but also a chance for the director to woo some celebrities and recruit potential actors and investors for a new production.

Max attended the banquet as a friend. In actuality, it was the director’s way of selling favors to Yelena and Elspeth. After all, Yelena’s acting as well as Elspeth and Callum’s wealth had caught his eye.

Since it was just a casual dinner, they didn’t have to dress very formally. After Yelena and Elspeth applied some light makeup and tidied themselves up a little on set, they took a chauffeured car to the

hotel that Mr. Aiden told them about.

At that moment, Elspeth realized what it meant when people said one could never escape their enemies. While looking at Emma’s smiling face in front of her, she cursed the woman in secret.

“Oh, isn’t this Elspeth? Is your crew having a farewell dinner here as well? What a coincidence!”

Although Emma’s words sounded courteous, Elspeth could hear provocation behind her words, especially with that ‘oh’. She didn’t click her tongue, which was still tolerable.

“Right, let me take a look. Is your face better now, Miss Walker? I heard it was all swollen and scary- looking before, and it seems like there’s still a mark…” Elspeth said, pretending to check Emma’s face. When Emma heard there was a mark on her face, she started panicking.

As someone who relied on her looks for her job, her face was her top priority. At this thought, she quickly took out a small mirror from her bag and made sure that her face was smooth and flawless with no blemishes at all. Only then did she feel relieved.

Elspeth found her reaction hilarious, so she couldn’t help but burst out laughing. “Alright, alright. Don’t keep looking at yourself in the mirror here. After you go in and turn right, there will be a washroom. Take your time to look in the mirror there. Go on.”

Just as Emma glared fiercely at her, she saw Callum walking toward them, so she held back the harsh words that were about to come out of her mouth.

“I know you don’t like me, Elspeth, but you don’t need to speak to me in that tone. What you said was so hurtful. If the people around us heard it, they would probably think you were bullying me.” Emma’s extraordinary acting skills shone through as she shed tears and made herself look pitiful.

“Who is bullying whom now? Why are you like this? You were the one who started it, you know. Do you want me to list all the disgusting things you’ve done previously?” Indeed, no one could outdo those who weren’t fearful; all this while, Yelena always had the mannerisms of a wealthy family’s daughter and spoke her mind. Although her words were harsh, she was genuinely in the right.

As Elspeth looked at the small but fierce fighter next to her, she couldn’t help but smile.

“Callum, I know you like Elspeth, but you can’t just let her bully people like this.” Emma didn’t expect Callum to be on her side, but she just hoped he would be reasonable and speak up for justice after seeing so many people bully her.

“I was the one who asked her to bully you.” Even when Callum didn’t know what kind of person Emma was, he wouldn’t hesitate to side with Elspeth, not to mention that he was aware of Emma’s wickedness.

“Did you hear that? Even your former sweetheart doesn’t care about you, let alone Callum, who is already sick of you. You just like to compete with Elspeth for everything. Don’t you fear that you’ll end up losing everything one day?” Yelena had been hanging around with Max for a long time, so she had also become a hot-tempered person. She was like a little chili pepper now, and people couldn’t help but be attracted to her charm. Anyhow, Elspeth liked the woman’s current personality.

“Alright, are we done yet, Miss Walker? Yelena is quite eloquent. If she says something that hurts your fragile heart, it won’t be worth your while.” Elspeth looked at Emma’s face, which had darkened with anger. For the first time, she felt extremely satisfied even without talking much.

“You!” Emma knew she couldn’t win against so many people, so she had no choice but to temporarily hold back her tears and escape from the scene. However, thinking about Callum’s indifference and Yelena’s pushy behavior, resentment surged through her. I’m going to tear Yelena’s mouth apart one day!
