When I Was a Wallflower (Leo and Amelie)

Julia had already heard about Elyse interrupting Amelie and Brianna at the event.

Although Elyse didn’t mention the event when she uploaded the picture, Brianna’s classmates and their

parents who took part in the event as well knew about it.

Elyse’s actions had turned Amelie and Brianna into the subjects of mockery.

Julia had been focused on finding a way to get even with Elyse, but before she could do anything, Leo

beat her to it.

Amelie was amused by Julia’s fury. “You’re the one who misunderstood him, so you can’t blame him for

that.”

Amelie no longer had any expectations, so she didn’t misinterpret Leo’s intentions. “If he even cared

the slightest bit about me, it would’ve been clear during our marriage. Why would he wait until now to

show me that he liked me?”

Julia understood that too, but she still had a feeling that there were still instances of Leo protecting

Amelie. Even though Julia loathed Leo, she knew that Brianna cared about her father, and sometimes,

she couldn’t help but entertain the thought that it would be good for Brianna if Leo did fall in love with

Amelie. It turned out that she was mistaken after all.

Amelie didn’t dwell on this subject, and the candidate arrived soon after, so the three quickly became

engrossed in a discussion about work.

Eventually, the meeting came to an end. The candidate had other matters to discuss with Julia while

Amelie had work to attend to, so she took leave of them.

As soon as she stepped out, she saw a tall figure standing right in her path.

The man turned around, and Amelie got a clear view of his dashing face.

“Blakey?” Amelie called out to him in surprise.

Blake’s eyes were as clear as ever. He smiled when he saw her, and it looked as if spring had bloomed

across his face.

Before Amelie could swoon over the way he looked, the young women beside him were shrieking with

infatuation.

“It’s Blakey! He’s so handsome. I’m in love!”

“He looks even more like a prince in real life.”

“Oh, my goodness! I can barely breathe.”

Amelie was a little embarrassed when she saw Blake’s adoring fans.

However, Blake wasn’t affected by their presence at all as he continued to stare at her.

“Hey, is that his girlfriend? She’s very pretty.” The crowd finally noticed where Blake was staring and

spotted Amelie.

“She makes a good match with him. It feels as if I’m watching a romantic comedy.”

“Me too.”

“Are you telling me that my celebrity crush has a girlfriend? I don’t want to live anymore.”

Amelie was even more embarrassed when the fans mistook her relationship with Blake, so she quickly

said, “Please don’t misunderstand, everyone. Blakey and I are just friends.”

She said this because she didn’t want to damage Blake’s image. He was pure and flawless in every

way, and she would feel guilty if he was stained in any way.

Everyone brightened up when they heard Amelie stating that she wasn’t Blake’s girlfriend.

The fans understood Blake’s personality, so they didn’t go overboard with their reactions and left after

greeting him.

Amelie exhaled in relief to have avoided a messy scene. When she turned around, she noticed the hurt

look in Blake’s eyes.

She was startled, but she didn’t pay much attention to it as she said, “What a coincidence. I didn’t think

I’d bump into you here.”

Blake hid the hurt in his eyes and asked, “Why didn’t you let me take part in Bria’s event?”

“Huh?” Amelie stared blankly at him as she didn’t expect him to ask this question.

“Am I not qualified?”

“Not qualified? Of course not! There’s no such thing!” Amelie instantly refuted him.

All along, she thought that Blake was merely joking and wouldn’t care about it. However, since he

asked, she had to be honest and tell him that Leo took part in the event.

Blake pursed his lips, and his expression grew a little stormy. It was completely at odds with his usual

warm and pure-hearted image.

Amelie had always treated him like a younger brother and liked the guileless side of him, so when she

saw his reaction now, she couldn’t resist taking his hand. “I know you like Bria, but you’re a celebrity so

it won’t be wise for you to come to Bria’s events. I don’t want people to gossip and create unwarranted

rumors about you.”

“I don’t care about that.” His voice was just as soft and warm as ever, but there was a trace of

stubbornness in it as well.

Amelie didn’t know what to say.

Blake kept quiet, but he continued to stare at her with clear, gentle eyes.

That look in his eyes…

“You said you’re not a couple, you liars!”

Before Amelie could look any closer, a shrill voice pierced through the air.

One of the fans who left moments ago jumped back out and shrieked at the top of her lungs.

Amelie was speechless.

She turned around to look at the fan and saw the young woman with a hurt expression on her face. Her

eyes were reddened, and her fists were clenched.

It looked as if she had caught her boyfriend cheating on her.

“See! You’re holding hands, and so tightly too!” she fumed agitatedly as she pointed at Amelie and

Blake’s clasped hand.

Amelie was still speechless.

She quickly withdrew her hand and said, “This is just a misunderstanding.”

However, the young woman wasn’t convinced. She stared at Blake with teary eyes and asked, “Tell me,

Blakey. Do you like her?”
