When I Was a Wallflower (Leo and Amelie)

The impatience was clear in his eyes, but he suppressed his attitude when he talked to her. Even

though his voice was as cold as always, it wasn't unpleasant at all.

Julia looked at him scornfully as she crossed her arms. "Mr. Alston, you came to me early in the

morning to ask a question. People who didn't know better might think that we have some secret affair."

Leo frowned slightly, obviously unapproving of her bold teasing. Still, he didn't express any opinions as

he asked, "Who exactly is the boss of Starlight Media?"

"Oh, Starlight Media's boss." As soon as he spoke up, Julia understood why he was asking about this.

It definitely had to do with the news Amelie released earlier in the day. Honestly speaking, Julia only

saw the news in the morning.

Julia was wondering why Amelie would post such things out of the blue, and she had intended to

interrogate the latter about it when she had time later. Now that Leo was asking her, she suddenly

understood.

Amelie probably did it to ward off the man in front of her.

"Why are you looking for our boss?" Julia feigned ignorance as she rolled her eyes at Leo. "Business

matters? Sorry, but our president doesn't fancy talking business with the likes of you."

Leo frowned again. "It has nothing to do with business."

"Then there's even less of a reason to tell you." Julia exaggerated her shrug as she put on a pitying

expression. "However, Mr. Alston, you're quite skilled, aren't you? If you're truly sincere about it, you

can figure it out yourself."

With that, she stepped around him and walked forward.

"Miss White, you should know what Samuel did in the past, right?"

Julia had only walked a few steps when the man's low voice sounded again.

She froze in her tracks.

Her pretty face instantly turned white as she balled her hands into fists.

"Are you threatening me?" A long while later, she finally growled through gritted teeth. Fury was evident

in her expression.

Leo remained unaffected. "I want all the information on the identity of the boss of Starlight Media."

Without explicitly admitting it, he was indeed threatening her. If she didn't give him what he wanted, she

knew what would happen to Samuel. Julia was so furious that her entire body trembled as she bit her

lip.

A long while later, she snorted. "Does Elie know that you came to talk to me? Does she know your true

self? You're anxious to see the boss of Starlight Media because of her, right? But if she knows that

you're actually threatening me, even if she did like you a little, that tiny bit of affection will still turn into

hatred! Moreover, she's no longer the slightest bit interested in you!"

Julia seemed to have gone all out, not caring anymore whether what she said would enrage Leo.

There was a fire raging in her eyes.

"Leo, you're a jerk! Jerks like you don't deserve to be with Elie in a million years! It's a good thing that

Elie married a good man, so she won't be hurt by jerks like you again!"

The words 'good man' were like a thorn that pierced Leo's nerves.

His blade-like eyebrows twitched as his gaze turned even sharper!

Still, he didn't say anything as he fell silent. He stood there gloomily like a murderous tree, and he was

so cold and distant that anyone would fear him.

Julia was haughty, so as soon as she took that bold step forward, she no longer feared anything.

She huffed at Leo, demanding, "You want to go against Samuel, huh? Fine, go ahead. Report him and

expose everything he has ever done. See if I'd tell you anything after that!"

With that, she stormed away.

Behind her, Leo slightly pursed his thin lips. He smiled. Yes, he did.

Eugene had been watching him from a reasonable distance all this while. When Julia insulted Leo like

that, Eugene was already sweating all over his palms as he imagined the tragic ending Julia would

face.

In the end, Leo didn't do anything, and he even smiled.

Eugene looked at Leo as if he were looking at a ghost. "Mr. Alston, are you… enraged?"

"Enraged? Do you think that's necessary?" Leo said coldly, his voice void of emotions. "I just feel like

with a personality like that, she's the perfect friend for Elie."

She was a little careless yet quite heroic, so she wouldn't try to harm or plot against Amelie. In the end,

Eugene was speechless.

Leo was in a dire situation, and he lost his fiancée, but he still had the mood to talk about Amelie's

friend.

Just as expected, his boss' world was something normal people couldn't understand.

"Miss Dillon is… married." He couldn't help but remind Leo.

Leo snorted. "If Amelie really did get married, with Julia's personality, why would she not want to reveal

the person's identity at all? There must be a reason behind this."

Eugene fell silent, thinking he had underestimated his boss. No matter his circumstances, Leo was

always wise and perceptive. He would never fail.

"Even if she did get married, a man like that might not pose a threat to me either." Eugene was deep in

thought when Leo's voice sounded again.

Eugene was so startled by the statement that he began coughing violently. She's married, but her

husband wouldn't be a threat to him? How does his mind work?

Eugene didn't dare voice his thoughts, so he could only cough in succession. Leo ignored Eugene's

coughs as he fell into deep thought.

Ever since the sudden release of the news last night, he had been suspecting that this was a feint from

Amelie. She's trying to trick me. I know it for sure. Does she dislike me so much?

The answer was naturally yes. Leo put a hand on his chest as he lowered his head, succumbing to

fate.

Even if she did hate him, he deserved it! But no matter how much she hated him, he would never give

up on her.

Even if she did get married, he would pull her out of the grave of marriage. Right now, he was more

bothered about the boss of Starlight Media.

That man must have feelings for Amelie, which was why he agreed to release such news.

At the thought of another man setting sights on Amelie, Leo instantly felt uneasy. He frowned once

again before demanding, "How's the investigation going?"

Eugene was bewildered for a moment before he realized what Leo was asking about. He hastily

reported, "Still no news from Victor."

The night before, or more accurately, that exact morning, Leo had woken him up to investigate some

matters.

Eugene couldn't help but yawn in secret. Leo was probably pursuing his budding love like a young

man, for he was especially intent on getting people to do things for him.

While Eugene was thinking, his phone rang. He looked at his phone, then his eyes lit up. "It's a call

from Victor."

He had just finished speaking when someone took his phone away. His phone was now pressing

against Leo's ear.

"Speak!" Leo demanded curtly.
