Hiding Behind Her Superficiality novel Chapter 693

Chapter 693 Before the Fireworks Feast
“Yes. After I regained consciousness, I intended to repay Slevin’s kindness, so I
agreed to join his company and accept a managerial position,” Elspeth explained.
When Callum heard that, he fell into deep thought. Clearly, Slevin has desired to
recruit her in the past, and now that she has lost her memory, he finally took
advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to accomplish his goal. Hence, I know
what to do now that everything finally falls into place.
As soon as she uttered those words, she noticed the complex facial expression
changes on his face. Worried, she asked, “What’s the matter? Are you feeling
unwell?”
“I’m fine.” Callum eventually decided to keep this matter from Elspeth, reasoning that
he would present proof to her once he had gathered enough evidence.
When they arrived at the company, he surprisingly did not request to go up with her
but drove away as soon as she got out of the car.
On the other hand, as she observed his car leaving her sight, she felt an
overwhelming sense of distress. However, she didn’t expect Slevin to be waiting for
her at the company’s entrance. As soon as she clocked in, she saw the man with a
broad grin staring at her.
“Did you sleep well last night?”
It’s the same old greeting he’s always said to me. Elspeth would have probably
humored him before, but after recalling what Callum had said and considering her
suspicions, she found herself at a loss for words.
Meanwhile, Slevin sensed something off about her, and the light in his eyes dimmed
slightly. Then, he asked, “Do you hate me right now?” His voice was tinged with
disappointment as he said this.
Rather than being filled with hatred, I find myself at a loss as to how to make sense of
the current situation. At this thought, she replied, “No, you’re overthinking it.”
After hearing this, he glanced at her with a look of affection in his eyes. “Don’t be in a
hurry to leave work tonight because I’ve already arranged for someone to pick up
Dami. Also, today is the fireworks festival, and they will set off fireworks near the
suburbs. So, I’ll take you to the fireworks feast after work.”
As Elspeth listened to Slevin’s flawless arrangements, she couldn’t bear to decline, so
she had no choice but to nod.
“I have a meeting to attend, so I’ll be off now.” After saying this, he smiled at her
before turning around and walking away.
After that, she returned to her office in a distracted state. She had just turned on the
computer when she recalled Callum’s words from the previous evening.
