When I Was A Wallflower

Chapter 64

Chris was one of the more famous guys in upper society. Leo was known for his business genius, while Chris was known for his racing skills. Yes, he was a racer, and a good one at that too. He won a few professional racing competitions and was a model for a lot of car dealerships’ advertisements.

Chris and Leo were second cousins as their grandparents were brothers. A guy like Chris talking to a no-name useless woman like Amelie? Elyse was shocked. She tried to see Amelie’s face, but her back was turned toward her. She couldn’t see Chris’ face either. Only Julia was facing her, and she looked delighted.

Elyse clenched her fists. She couldn’t believe Chris was talking to those women. He might be famous, but he was also haughty. Even she got nothing but a cold shoulder every time she tried to say hi. If it were someone else, he wouldn’t even give them a second of his time. Yet he stopped to talk to them. They must be special. Who is Amelie to him?

Elyse’s mind was assailed by a thousand thoughts, and she turned her attention to Leo, trying to find solace. But to her chagrin, his eyes were fixated on the trio before them as well, though he was inscrutable. I wonder what he’s thinking. Ever since that wench congratulated us, he has been acting weird.

Elyse’s heart skipped a beat, but she remained composed. Then, she pretended to have just thought of something and giggled with a hand over her mouth. “Oh my, look at me. Overreacting for nothing. Julia is famous for her tendency to make friends. She gets a lot of high-profile guests during her live stream. I bet she’s asking him to co-star in her next stream.”

Yeah, Chris is here for Julia, not Amelie. He didn’t stop for Amelie. He did it for Julia, she thought.

Amelie underwent a dramatic change after the divorce. She became gorgeous, confident, and stunning. It was like she was a whole different person, and yet that couldn’t change the fact that she was the daughter of a mere cobbler. She’s nothing but a peasant. A peasant who will never be on par with us. Her life will amount to nothing. No need to fear someone like her. At this thought, she held Leo’s arm. “It’s not every day we run into Chris. We should say hi.”
