Hiding Behind Her Superficiality

Chapter 136

At that moment, Elspeth frowned and looked at him seriously. “What makes you think that? Have you ever seen such an idle president like me?”

Although her words were simple, it was the truth. At that moment, Blake trusted her and was back to being depressed.

“When we arrive at the company, you might encounter Timothy. I hope that you will be in your best condition. After all, he has a strange personality, so…”

Although Elspeth didn’t finish her words, Blake knew what she meant. Suddenly, he was anxious.

When they arrived at the company, Elspeth found it funny that everyone was holding back from greeting her.

After all, she had just called Harper and told her to inform her employees to act like they didn’t know her. She was happy with the result.

Then, she took Blake to the office, where the acting president of Luminous was waiting for them. When the acting president saw Elspeth, he widened his eyes before he started stammering.

“W-What do you want?”

Since he was being informed not to say her entitlement, the acting president didn’t know what to call her.

On the other hand, Elspeth felt her lips twitch when she heard his words since he sounded unwelcoming.

“This is a new talent that I found for the Luminous. I’m sure you know him, right?”

Looking at Blake’s face, the acting president nodded his head furiously and said, “Yes. Isn’t he Blake?”

For the past few months, Blake had been focusing on starring in a movie. However, his work had not been published, so he wasn’t as famous as when he debuted. At that moment, most people thought he had left the industry and asked about his condition on Twitter. Since Blake rarely looked at his Twitter account, he had lost many of his fans. Just like that, an A-lister was being downgraded to a B-lister because he was shooting a movie. However, the acting president knew that Blake was just in his twenties and was in the phase of starting out. Plus, he would have great potential since his acting, looks, and voice were incredible.

“I’ll get the procedure done, so he can be one of us.”

The president seemed like… he was fawning. This was the first impression that Blake had about the acting president.

“That’s it?” Blake initially thought he would need to pass a primary interview, like asking about his conditions or going through some training. “Don’t I have training or an interview?” he asked.

Hearing his words, the acting president nodded his head thoughtfully and said, “Technically speaking, you should.” After he had finished his words, he saw Elspeth’s serious expression and quickly changed his words. “However, you don’t have to do these things since you must have experienced it in your former company.” The acting president chuckled and seemed to let Blake do whatever he wanted.

At that moment, Blake was stunned and felt like it was a dream.

When Elspeth heard his words, she nodded in satisfaction. “If that’s the case, you should stay in the company, Blake. I remember Mr. Stevens doesn’t have anyone on his hands, right? Hence, let him train Blake.”

Hearing her words, the acting president slightly opened his mouth and said, “Mr. Stevens…”

“What’s the matter?”

The acting president recalled what Timothy had done in the company recently and felt nervous.

Lately, the company’s talents have been stressed out because of him. I can’t understand why he wanted to have special training for each of them. It is tiring and hard to follow. Many of them had told me about it. However, I can’t do anything since Elspeth brought Timothy in. All I could say was that I was just following orders. However, this is the second person that Elspeth had brought in. I wonder if these two will fight…

“Don’t worry. I will contact Mr. Stevens right away!”

Soon, Timothy picked up the call and headed downstairs. He seemed busy as he was talking on the phone while walking. Although he spoke in a low voice, his words were cruel.

“I have said this before. If he can take it, then let him stay. Otherwise, kick him out of the group. I don’t want to hear that they are tired. After all, everyone is tired; he isn’t special. He is an employee if he stays in the company, not some superstar. There is no reason for him to be lazy. Oh, be sure to train the newbie. He has potential.” When he saw Elspeth, he hung up the phone and smiled teasingly. “You’re here, Elspeth.”

Although he didn’t say anything, Elspeth could tell from his eyes that he was watching a show.

Does everyone have nothing to do?

“Hello, Mr. Stevens. I need you to train him. Can you train him and be his agent?” Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Technically speaking, Timothy would accept Elspeth’s proposal since she had given him a job and saved his wife. However, he had a complicated expression when he eyed Blake up and down. “Blake?”

“Hello, Mr. Stevens.” Blake nodded his head politely.

“I am very strict when it comes to training. No matter how successful you are, you have to start all over. Although I may not look fierce, you will have a tough life if you were to follow me. Can you do that?”

When Elspeth heard her words, she almost burst out laughing. Oh, did he just say that? Come on, whom is he trying to trick?

“Don’t worry. I can handle it.” Blake smiled.

“Good. Then come with me to the training room as I test your abilities.” After Timothy talked to Blake, he looked at Elspeth and smiled. “I’ll be taking him away. I’ll treat you to a meal if he has great potential.”

“No problem,” replied Elspeth as she raised her chin.

When the duo left, the acting president turned back to his usual self and asked, “Why don’t you want the others to know your real identity, Miss Lynwood?” Everyone, including him, thought about this before and never knew why.

Hearing his words, Elspeth pursed her lips. Just as she was about to say something, a voice cut her off.

“Elspeth.”

When Elspeth turned around and saw Callum, her heart skipped a beat.

“What’s the matter?”

Callum walked up to her side and gave her some takeout. “I was just done with work. I’m here to take you home.”

“You must be Mr. Winthrop. I have heard a lot of things about you. It’s a pleasure to meet you.” When the acting president saw Callum, he knew that this man had a close relationship with Elspeth. Hence, he praised Callum and talked highly about Elspeth.

However, he seemed to have said the wrong things since Callum hated small talk. Before he called out to Elspeth, he had seen the acting president standing close to her with a lewd smile. In that split second, Callum thought he would do something terrible to Elspeth and had a wrong impression.

“You’re welcome, Mr. Dainsel. However, it is hypocritical of you to say such words.” The acting president, Rowley Dainsel, didn’t know what to say when he heard the sarcasm in Callum’s tone.

This is an unexpected outcome! Rowley thought. However, he didn’t seem to sense that Callum was jealous and thought he was just a cold. Then, he tried to change the subject by saying, “If there’s nothing more to say, I’ll take my leave. Please take care, Miss Lynwood.”

When Callum heard his words, he was unhappy. “Why are you caring so much about my girlfriend?”
