When I Was A Wallflower

Chapter 76 Landmines

When Amelie arrived at the airport, it was 8.00AM, which was 30 minutes before boarding time. She looked down to get her flight ticket and other important documents.

“I’ll help you with it.” Just then, someone came over and picked up the small suitcase beside her.

Amelie looked up and saw Toby, who had a face that seemed to be straight out of a historical drama. At this moment, he was smiling at her with a joyful expression.

“Why are you here, Mr. Walsh?” There was a hint of surprise on Amelie’s beautiful face. A while back, they had agreed that she would be looking for Owen on her own.

Toby gently swung the suitcase in his hand. “As the person in charge of this project, I can’t possibly be absent.” In other words, he was coming along.

“There’s no need for that.” Amelie was a straightforward person. “At least for now. I’m just going to test the waters, and I’m not even confident that I can persuade Mr. Steward. You’ll only waste your time by coming with me.”

Toby wanted to say that he didn’t mind wasting time for her, but when he saw her serious expression, he gulped down his words. “I’m not particularly busy now anyway, so I can go there and look around.”

Hearing that, Amelie stopped dissuading him. They then boarded the plane headed toward Skaynia. Because Skaynia was still on the same continent, the plane landed at Skaynia’s busiest airport two hours later.

As they walked out of the airport along with the crowd, skyscrapers in the distance came into their sight. They could see how developed the country was from where it stood. There was no denying it was a world-class country.

It wasn’t the first time Amelie visited Skaynia, but she still couldn’t help but be awed by how clean and prosperous the country was.

She didn’t go looking for Owen immediately. Instead, she went to a famous church and prayed sincerely. After that, she got herself an amulet, which she carefully kept inside her bag before walking out of the church.

Toby had been following her all this while. Seeing how devoted she was, he couldn’t help smiling softly. “I never took her for the religious kind.” He looked at her bag where the amulet was kept.

Amelie replied with a smile, “It’s for Mr. Steward.”
