Hiding Behind Her Superficiality

Chapter 127

“I almost forgot that Callum had asked you to be the co-president of the Winthrop Group. Surely you won’t have the spare time to be my agent.” Blake mocked himself and sighed. “It’s fine, though. I’m sure the president of Luminous would find me a new agent.”

Elspeth felt awkward when she heard his words. After all, he was right. She was going to give him a new agent. This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

At that moment, she suddenly remembered that Timothy had asked her to find him an artist a few days ago. He wanted to train the talent since he had nothing to do after entering the company. As a man who wanted to be successful, Timothy was uncomfortable with the idle feeling he had. Hence, she asked, “Do you know Timothy, Blake?”

When Blake heard her words, he was stunned. I know who Timothy is. Rumors say that he is a talented man. However, he is not famous and underappreciated. From what I remember, he used to be an agent for a female celebrity before he quit for some reason. Could it be that he has gone to Luminous?

While thinking about it, Blake asked, “A-Are you going to let him be my agent?”

“Bingo! That’s right!” Elspeth smiled and snapped her fingers.

“Are you sure? I heard that he is a proud man and wouldn’t train any ordinary artist.”

Blake didn’t know much about Timothy, only knowing that he trained those who were gifted. Timothy would endure the artist’s bad temper if the artist was arrogant but talented. On the contrary, he would never accept artists who worked hard but were not gifted, even if they were humble.

“An ordinary artist? Are you sure that’s who you are, Blake?” Elspeth glanced at him. “Have you forgotten that you were nominated for Best Actor? Moreover, you have many fans. You are only a B- lister because you haven’t achieved a higher status. If Timothy were to train you, you’d be an A-lister in no time.”

“Alright. Thank you, Elspeth.”

“There’s no need to be so formal. This isn’t a big deal to me.” Elspeth chuckled.

If Timothy finds out he’ll be working with Blake after his promotion, he’d be delighted, she thought.

“How is this not a big deal? I should be grateful since you helped me get into Luminous and gave me such a great agent.” Blake thanked her. Then, he seemed to have thought of something. Since he couldn’t hold back the question he had, he asked, “Who exactly are you, Elspeth? How are you able to get me into Luminous? Don’t tell me that you are the president of the company.”

At that moment, Elspeth almost choked on her saliva and said, “What are you talking about? How can I be the president of Luminous when I am out here running around? Do other presidents act as I do?” Following that, she was slightly flustered by her words. Come to think of it, I am quite irresponsible. I’m letting Harper do all the

hard work.

“That’s true.” Blake nodded as he dismissed his confusion.

As the sky had gotten darker, Blake was exhausted and went to bed. However, Elspeth was getting hyped. She was thinking about the words Callum had told her tonight.

“I never know what you are thinking, Callum,” she mumbled. However, never did she expect that Callum would hear her

“If you are unsure of anything, you can ask me. Why do you have to hide from me?” said Callum. Although his tone was flat, Elspeth could sense that he was unhappy.

“I’m not hiding from you.” Elspeth smiled awkwardly.

“If that is so, why didn’t you want to be engaged with me?”

Just as Elspeth was about to explain, her words were stuck in her throat when she saw that he was serious. Those words she had told Blake seemed to have disappeared from her mind.

“Is it because you don’t love me enough? Or did you just realize that you had never loved me?” Callum wallowed in self-doubt.

“No, I just think that it’s too fast. After all, I have never been in a relationship before. I know nothing about it…”

Although Elspeth’s explanation was slightly dumb, Callum was still surprised when he heard it.

“You’ve never been in a relationship before?”

Oh dear, it never occurred to me that she’s never fallen in love before. She looks like she has been in many relationships, thought Callum.

“What’s wrong with that? Are you looking down on me because of this? Elspeth was embarrassed. Never did she think that Callum would make fun of her because of this.

“Has no one ever asked you out?” asked Callum.

At that moment, Elspeth tilted her head and pondered for a moment before saying, “I don’t think so. Boys never liked me when I was young.”

However, he was dissatisfied with her words. “You’ve forgotten to count Blake.”

“That was after. I’ve never liked anyone before, and no one has ever liked me. Perhaps it has something to do with me being the reigning champion of the school’s karate competition.” Then, she shook her head. “No man would ever love a woman who knows how to fight. Everyone loves a lovely girl who wears dresses.”

Until today, she could still remember how one boy was frightened by her karate moves when he tried to ask her out. As he ran off, he told her that no one would ever like her since she was a violent tomboy.

While Elspeth fell in thought, Callum felt his heart beating wildly as he heard her words.

“I like it.”

However, Elspeth misunderstood him and thought that he also loved obedient girls. At that moment, she couldn’t help but lower her head. “See, I told you so. You like…”

“I’m saying that I like you.” How could he not? Who wouldn’t fall in love with her when she had a bright smile. and had helped him multiple times?

“You’re surely something for falling in love with someone like me.”

“They don’t like you because they are ashamed of themselves. They think they are not worth your time, but I don’t think so.” Callum would never feel ashamed of himself when he was with the girl he loved.

“That is why I want you to marry me as sooner as possible. Is that okay?” Callum scooted closer to her and held her hands. “Will you be my fiancée?”

“Snap out of it, Callum.” Elspeth tried to struggle out of his grip, but she realized he had held her tightly.

“I’m clear in the head.” Callum shook his head. Then, he pulled her into his embrace and said, “You don’t have a choice, Elspeth. You can only say yes to me.”

“I never knew that you were the dominant type, Callum.”

“I used to think that I should listen to you. That is why I have always listened to your opinion. However, you always make me sad. That’s why you must listen to me this time,” Callum said truthfully.
