When I Was A Wallflower

Chapter 12

face slowly dissipated, leaving only a resigned smile. She had lived with the Alston Family for four years and had never overstepped her boundaries. So when had she ever tried anything when it came to Leo? Julia soon learned about Leo forcing money on Amelie instead of apologizing for his wrongdoings. She was so pissed that she held nothing back as she insulted him mercilessly. “What a b*stard! He thinks that he is the only one with money in the world. Amelie, you must attend the Starlight Media charity auction and make him jealous!” Julia had always been efficient; within a minute, she told her staff that Amelie would appear on stage. At the same time, she also had Amelie’s outfit and her male companion ready. “The male companion will pose as your boyfriend. Don’t worry, the companion I found will definitely make Leo so jealous that he will cry and faint in the toilet!” When Amelie finally saw the ‘boyfriend’ Julia talked about at the entrance of the auction venue, her head filled with white noise. The first thought she had was she would definitely get photographed fainting in the toilet instead of Leo because the ‘boyfriend’ was none other than Blake. If Blake’s fans knew that the gorgeous man was tainted by a ‘harlot’ like her, they might actually attempt to shoot her. He was wearing a white shirt and a dark blue suit. He looked more handsome than ever, like a noble prince right out of fairy tales. Regardless, he had a bashful smile when he came over and handed a bunch of flowers to Amelie. “Hey, Amelie.” “H-Hi, Blakey.” Amelie had difficulty speaking as she felt a migraine building. Could she just change the ‘boyfriend’ before it was too late? The truth was that it was indeed too late. On the opposite side, Leo and Elyse could be seen entering the venue and were surrounded by reporters. Elyse intentionally stopped in front of Amelie and Blake when she saw them standing together. “Mr. Gareth, will you not introduce me to this lady here? Last time, I remember seeing you both skating together on the ice rink. There was good chemistry.” F*ck! If no one had previously known about the skating incident, it was no longer the case! Elyse had just announced it to the world. “She’s my girlfriend,” Blake answered promptly. He had probably received Julia’s instructions as he smiled shyly. “Girlfriend?” Elyse looked surprised. “How come? That day, I also saw…” She did not finish her sentence, although her eyes went between Amelie and Blake, and it was self-evident what was left unspoken; Amelie had a child, so how could she be in a relationship with Blake? Nonetheless, he remained calm. “Yes, everything is just as what you had seen.” After he spoke, he nodded to Elyse and then looked at Amelie with a gentle gaze. “Let’s go in.” “Sure.” Although he was only a figure skater, he was very famous. Coupled with his outstanding appearance and legendary performance in the past two years, he had fans worldwide. The reporters initially interviewing Elyse swarmed around Blake and Amelie when he revealed such big news. “Mr. Gareth, can you tell us how you both met?” “You two seem to be a good match. Do you plan to get married in the near future?” “Mr. Gareth, you’re only 23 years old. Aren’t you worried that your fans won’t be able to bear it if you open up
