When I Was a Wallflower (Leo and Amelie)

guilty, I'll get even with you even if someone else backs you up!"

She strode out of the place after she said that.

She walked right by Leo without pausing. Behind her, she sensed that Ellen seemed to have thrown

herself into Leo's arms.

Amelie, however, could not be bothered. She did not even turn around.

The director rushed to her when she entered a crowded area.

"Miss Foxy!" The director was extremely humble the minute he saw her. "I'm really sorry. I invited you

over to the show, but there were so many accidents. Are you all right?"

"I'm fine," Amelie said lightly. She refrained from reprimanding the director because she was aware that

the mishap had little to do with him.

However, the director kept stroking his bald head.

This show was his career's most thrilling and exciting program to date, and his bald spot had

significantly grown because of the fear.

"That's good." Since Amelie did not hold him responsible, the director quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

He then said, "It's like this… With the nonstop issues these past two days, our team decided to alter

our plans and pray together this afternoon at the local Church of Faith."

He would not be able to hold on anymore if he did not pray to God for some blessings.

"Sure." Amelie naturally had no objections.

Twenty minutes later, a car came to take them to the Church of Faith.

Everyone had long been informed, so they slowly walked toward the car.

A black figure was quicker than everyone else as he leaped onto the car.

His extraordinarily aloof and distant aura left everyone in awe. Eventually, they turned to see that he

had taken a seat.

His dark, deep-set eyes were full of profoundness, and his gorgeous face was solemn.

Leo? Amelie was a little taken aback by Leo's enthusiasm. However, she did not give it much thought.

She chose to sit in the first row that was farthest from him when she saw that he had picked a seat in

the last row.

As she was deep in thought, someone abruptly pushed her.

She almost lost her footing as she trembled.

When she looked up, she noticed Ellen had run past her to get to Leo.

The woman came to a stop about three seats away from him while anxiously blinking her eyes. She

appeared quite pitiful.

"Elie, sit over there." Giada approached and gave her a brief nudge.

Ellen was pushed forward and she sat next to him.

She shifted her body uneasily, but Giada pressed onto her shoulder without letting go. However, she

did nothing other than that.

Her face was lowered, but she was beaming with joy.

Amelie did not pay much attention to Ellen and Leo. Yet, at that moment, she furrowed her brows.

She looked toward Giada as if she was deep in thought.

She knew that Giada liked Leo. Besides, Giada was not the kind of woman who would make

concessions for others.

So, why did Giada suddenly try to put Ellen and Leo together? There must be something fishy going

on!

Amelie suddenly felt a grasp around her wrist when she was deep in thought.

When she regained her wits, she was taken to Leo.

"Get out of the way!" The person who held her yanked Ellen up and pushed her out into the seat.

Amelie was rendered speechless.

The push almost caused her to trip and fall, which in turn made her stumble and land in Leo's arms.

She could not be bothered about her fall, but she gazed in disbelief at the person who had pushed her.

Jodie? What is wrong with her?!

Once again, Amelie saw Jodie's illogical action and she was struck dumb in astonishment.

In that instant, Jodie put both her hands on her waist. She couldn't care less if there was a

photographer with her or not as she stared at Ellen and growled, "Get lost."

Amelie was at a loss for words.

The push caused Ellen to bang against the seat next to her. She looked quite feeble and delicately

pitiful when that happened.

She started blinking in a trance again. Tears were brimming in her eyes as they threatened to fall at any

minute.

The tears in her eyes trembled, but they did not fall. It was such a skill that she had.

Amelie was never one for crying. She was forced to sigh as a result of Ellen's amazing talent for crying

and controlling her tears. Truth be told, she was quite impressed by that.

Meanwhile, Ellen still remained silent. Her eyes were crimson as she pursed her lips. She slowly

straightened her back, looking as if she was being bullied. She just stood there and looked at them

pitifully.

Once again, Amelie was struck speechless. She felt like she was sitting on pins and needles there.

Amelie's feelings worsened with Ellen's frail and pathetic appearance. It gave her the illusion that she

had bullied Ellen.

At first, she assumed Leo would undoubtedly act in some way given the circumstances. He would at

least hurry over to comfort Ellen by giving her a hug, but the man beside her did nothing after waiting

for quite a while.

On the contrary, she missed the best chance to leave.

When she realized that she should find another seat and not act like a dog in the manger, the bus was

fully occupied.

Amelie was at a loss for words and she felt numb all over.

She patted her head ruefully.

At last, Ellen could only get into another small car arranged by the director since she had no seat.

The man beside her made no comment throughout the whole process.

Did he… argue with Ellen? Amelie inevitably made assumptions. Only after a long while did she realize

that she was in his arms with his hand on her shoulder.

Suddenly, Amelie leaped up and straightened her posture.

Her face under her mask was burning hot and she was extremely flustered.

"I'm sorry," she whispered after a while.

Leo retrieved his hand and turned around slowly to glance at her. His gaze was dark and bottomless,

drawing her in.
