When I Was a Wallflower (Leo and Amelie)

Fiona’s aloofness derived from what society made her to be, but this young woman’s condescension

evidently came from her family background. In fact, even her eyes were filled with contempt, and it

inexplicably reminded her of her ex-mother-in-law, Melissa.

Then again, this young woman had everything to do with Melissa, for they were mother and daughter.

Yes, the young woman was the one and only Jodie Alston.

Even when Amelie had seen far too many things in life, she still couldn’t help being taken aback to

encounter Jodie in such an event.

Has the ‘Show Your Love’ production team become so undiscriminating nowadays?

Of course, Jodie noticed Amelie too, but because Amelie wore a mask, Jodie didn’t make out who it was.

Still, it didn’t stop her from looking up condescendingly.

The filming began in two shakes, and the hosts briefly introduced Jodie’s background, but because she

didn’t have any prominent achievements, they had no choice but to mention her family, shocking the

other guests when they learned that she was Leo’s younger sister.

Leo single-handedly held up the Alston Family and turned their family business from being on the verge

of shutting down to a leading corporate in just a short few years. The man had long become a legend

and a household name in Clouson City.

Many were curious about Leo’s private life. However, they couldn’t find anything else other than his

somewhat messy relationship with Elyse, no matter how they tried.

Meanwhile, behind the cameras, the director nodded pleasingly as he looked at the guests’ reactions.

This was precisely what he wanted.

Celebrities were everywhere nowadays; it was a wealthy family’s life that people were curious about, and

Jodie’s inclusion would guarantee a massive wave of viewership.

Though Amelie was also surprised by Jodie’s appearance, she merely stayed to fulfill the contract she

had signed and had no intention of causing any kind of ruckus. Hence, she naturally wouldn’t have many

ideas.

Now, I just have to relax, enjoy myself, and be an accompaniment, mused Amelie as she drooped her

eyelids lazily.

“I’m sure the audience and our female guests are curious to see who our secret admirers are for the

night.” The hosts rambled enthusiastically to build up the suspense before finally introducing the male

guests.

The guys would receive a round of applause when each came out, and the hosts would ask them about

their crushes. The audience, too, would guess according to the guys’ answers.

The first five were actors who had a few acclaimed works in the past couple of years. Hence, the

audience responded enthusiastically. Even those watching the live stream were hyped. Comments were

coming in one after another at breakneck speed on the live stream portal.

“Our next guest isn’t an actor, but he’s also in showbiz. He’s got the looks, the skills, and the perfect set

of techniques that leaves hundreds and thousands of young ladies infatuated with him. But young ladies

aren’t the only ones crazy about him. Even moms, grandmas, in fact, even dads and grandpas are crazy

about him.” The host evidently spent more time and enthusiasm introducing the sixth guest.

Following her instigation, everyone grew increasingly curious, wanting to know just who it could be.

“Let’s welcome our next guest!” The second after the host finished her words passionately, a piece of

even more exciting music played, and the door in the middle turned from black to a faint Morandi white

color.

It was a kind of gentle whiteness, warm and wondrous, clean and pure.

Meanwhile, the audience all directed their gaze to the slowly opening door and held their breaths in

unison.

Amelie, too, reflexively looked in that direction to find a nearly thin figure dressed in a similar white color.

Despite wearing a plain modern suit, he looked exactly like he could be from a fairy tale. He was

unrealistically crisp and handsome, so much so that no one dared to touch him.

The handsome young man ambled out and instantly attracted everyone’s attention with his amiable gaze

and faint but gentle smile.

“Blake Gareth!” Jodie gushed reflexively as joy enveloped her face. In fact, she even jumped without

caring that she was onstage.

Well, I’ll be damned! Amelie nearly lost her composure when she realized who it was. What the heck is

Blake up to?!

“Goodness me. He’s so hot!” The female host exaggeratedly fell backward as she had been infatuated.

The male host, on the other hand, approached with a smile. “Indeed. Even a guy like me is infatuated

with him.”

Meanwhile, Blake smiled subtly. It was one laced with a hint of bashfulness of a fresh young adult, gentle

and wonderful.

Having made infatuated by the smile, the crowd only applauded a long while later before chanting

frantically, “Blakey, Blakey!”

The chant, too, lasted for quite a while, and when it finally died, the female host approached Blake with

her hand on her forehead. “Goodness, Blake. Looks like you’re a crowd favorite. The crowd nearly blew

up the studio.”

“Thank you, everyone.” Blake gave the crowd a simple thank-you bow while still wearing his signature

smile.

His every movement was exceptionally graceful, filled with a sense of nobility.

While Jodie nearly passed out from excitement, the other young women expressed their shock with

different expressions.

“I am absolutely shocked that you’ve decided to join us, Blake. Can you tell us whom you have come

for?” asked the female host eagerly.
