A Matter of Wife and Love

Chapter 83 She’s Playing Hard to Get

Who else could be this handsome other than Leo?

Surprised by his visit, she asked curtly with quirked brows, “Is there something I can help you with, Mr. Alston?”

“I’ve come to thank you,” said Leo with a slight frown before pulling out a document. “Genesis will give you twenty percent of the profits as gratitude for helping the company secure the collaboration with Mr. Steward. This is the contract. It will come into effect as soon as you sign it.”

At that, Amelie lowered her head and gazed at the contract while pursing her lips slightly.

How typical of Leo to handle anything and everything with money.

“This is unnecessary, Mr. Alston,” responded the young woman as she gently pushed the document back to Leo. “I didn’t approach Mr. Steward because of you or Genesis; I did it because of Mr. Walsh. As such, I’ll have to turn you down.”

With that, she bypassed Leo and strode away while the man latched his gradually dimming gaze on her back as he clenched his fist, crumpling the papers as a result.

In the past, he felt uncomfortable when she looked at him with a love-filled gaze, but now, he still felt uncomfortable when she looked at him with nothing but aloofness.

“What is Leo doing at Amelie’s door? What is the meaning of this?”

A distance away, Ashton was helping Elyse back to her hotel room.

While he gazed tenderly at Elyse, the woman’s gaze was latched onto Leo.

Her eyes trembled once again.

“That Amelie sure is a b*tch!” Ashton scowled, having nothing but repugnance for the young woman. “Everything she did was to get Leo’s attention, and to think he actually fell for it!”
