When I Was a Wallflower (Leo and Amelie)

Elyse and Leo? Amelie felt that she must be extremely unlucky to come across them in such a place.

Elyse had wanted to walk over and wrap her arms around Leo’s neck, but Amelie’s presence caught her

off guard. Leo followed her gaze and saw Amelie as well. Instantly, his eyes darkened.

“Why are you here, Miss Dillon?” Elyse was the first to speak as she stepped forward.

With her back to Leo, she put on a faint smile. There was a hint of mockery behind her gaze. Although

she hadn’t gotten any reply from Amelie, she was certain that the woman had looked into their schedule

and followed them to this place. Her conceitedness was rather laughable.

Amelie didn’t intend to explain anything. Instead, she cocked her face and flashed an inscrutable smile at

her. “What’s wrong with me being here? Is this place yours or something, Miss Clayton?”

There was no doubt Elyse felt humiliated by the other woman’s arrogance. She almost couldn’t hold up

her pretense. Leo, who hadn’t uttered a word all this while, suddenly asked, “Don’t you think you’ve

crossed the line, Amelie?”

During the car racing event previously, he saw how Amelie picked on Elyse. He figured she did so

because she was mad at him, so she vented her fury on Elyse. As such, his face fell in an instant.

Amelie’s lips curved into a smile. “Have I?”

Initially, Leo thought that she would defend herself, but after he waited for a while, the woman still didn’t

utter a word. In fact, the instant Amelie was done speaking, she looked to the other side, pretending that

she didn’t know them.

Leo was rendered speechless. Something seemed to have gotten stuck in his chest. He couldn’t tell

what it was, but he just couldn’t get it off his chest.

When Elyse saw Amelie’s expression, she just thought that the woman was silenced by Leo’s stern

behavior. As such, she was gleeful. Despite that, she would never let her emotions show on her face, for

she had to behave elegantly.

She then moved past Amelie and arrived at the gatehouse. “Hi, I’m here for Mr. Steward. Can you inform

him about my arrival?”

When Amelie heard that they were there to see Owen, she frowned. What’s Leo trying to do? Didn’t he

already ask me to help him with this matter? Why has he come all the way here with Elyse now?

When Elyse was done speaking to the security guard, she returned and said to Leo, “Don’t worry, Leo.

Mr. Steward has been investing heavily in the entertainment industry over the years, so he’s friendly to

the people in this field. I’m also on good terms with his wife. When we meet both of them, I’ll bring up this

matter. I’m sure Mr. Steward will give us a chance for his wife’s sake.”

She clasped her hands together and spoke in a sweet voice with a hint of coquettishness. Also, she

could barely conceal her confidence.

Only then did Amelie realize Elyse must’ve offered to help. However, Leo only grunted in response as he

was only in this place for work.

Elyse had tagged along using the reason that she was just visiting this country. Nevertheless, when they

arrived, she told him that she was on good terms with Owen’s wife.

Although Toby had found Foxy, Leo didn’t mind giving Elyse a chance when he saw her enthusiasm.

When Amelie saw him agreeing to it, she couldn’t help gasping in secret. She’s on good terms with Mrs.

Steward? Is Owen friendly to the people in the entertainment industry? The advantages she thinks she

has are all landmines. If she manages to get in, she’ll probably be taken to task.

Elyse had no idea what was on Amelie’s mind, but when she saw the woman staring at her, she

assumed the others were jealous of her connections. At the thought of this, she couldn’t help lifting her

chin.

So what if she’s good at car racing? It can’t help Leo’s business in any way! I have to let her know that

I’m the person that Leo needs the most!

Elyse had been traumatized by the car racing incident back then. After that, she could no longer ignore

Amelie. Therefore, she started competing with Amelie so that she could prove herself to Leo. On the

other hand, Amelie pursed her lips as if she wasn’t bothered by Elyse’s provocation. Although she wasn’t

willing to butt in on their affairs, this matter had something to do with Toby. As such, she didn’t want him

to be affected,

Therefore, Amelie decided to give them a heads-up, saying, “In actuality, Mr. Steward isn’t fond of those

in the entertainment industry, especially the actors. Also, if you manage to see him, don’t bring up his

wife.”

She didn’t tell them the reasons. The affairs between Owen and his wife were their private matters, so

she couldn’t tell anyone else about them. In fact, she wasn’t even confident that she would persuade

Owen. She had only decided to give them a heads-up so that they wouldn’t make mistakes.

However, Elyse thought that the woman was ill-intentioned. What did she mean when she said if I

managed to see Owen? Is she confident that I won’t get to see him? What does she think I am?

She was both resentful and furious in her heart. If not for Leo’s presence, she would’ve talked back. At

this moment, she could only suppress her fury, as she had to show the man her elegant self.

In the end, she put on a graceful smile. “Miss Dillon, I’m afraid you’re not familiar with worldly affairs

because you haven’t been traveling a lot, but it’s fine. If there’s a chance in the future, I’ll tell you more

about Mr. Steward. I’m sure you’ll understand what I’m talking about.” Despite her gentle tone, she

indicated that Amelie knew nothing at all.

Amelie smiled faintly without a hint of anger on her face. When Elyse saw that the woman was unfazed

while she had lost her cool, she felt irritated.

Just then, the butler of the Steward Residence walked out and headed to the gatehouse. “Open the door

and let her in.”

“Yes.” The security guard did as he was told.

Elyse was the first to go in, and Amelie followed closely behind her.

“Wait a minute. Why are there the two of you?” The butler adjusted his glasses and glanced at them.
