When I Was A Wallflower

Chapter 79 Everyone Says You’re Beautiful and Elegant

When Leo pushed the door open, he realized that someone had approached him. “Leo…” A pitiful Elyse stood guiltily behind him, looking as though she was strengthless.

“Why aren’t you getting some rest at this hour?” Leo asked with a frown when he saw her.

Elyse staggered a little. “Are you disappointed in me? I’m sorry. I meant to help you, but I’ve almost done you a disservice instead.”

“I’m not.” Leo shook his head. “I’m already glad that you’re willing to help.”

“Really?” Elyse looked at him with anxiety, for she was worried the man would start despising her. She wanted to help him with this matter, which was why she offered to speak to Owen. Given her situation, she was convinced that she needed to prove her worth to him.

Previously, she had lost to Amelie in a car racing competition, which remained a thorn in her heart that she desperately wanted to pull out. Initially, she thought that she could successfully persuade Owen. As such, despite knowing that Toby had secured Foxy’s help, she still volunteered to give it a try.

Be it Toby’s revelation of her ignorance of Owen’s marriage or the fact that Amelie had been invited into the Steward Residence instead of her, she felt humiliated. She was so ashamed that she hung her head low.

“Really.” Leo rubbed his temple, exhausted from being busy for the entire day.

Seeing his state, Elyse decided to take her leave. She took a step backward and said, “You should probably get some rest, then. Ashton will arrive in the evening. We’re going to hang out with him.”

Leo grunted and closed the door.

While Elyse stared at the door, the softness on her face faded. When she turned around, she was surprised to find someone gazing at her. The person was none other than Amelie. The instant she saw Amelie, her perfect facial features contorted into a hideous expression. At that moment, she recalled the incident of Owen refusing to see her.

Amelie was surprised to see Elyse as well. Since she was tired, she decided to return to the hotel and get some rest, only to realize that Elyse and Leo were staying in the same hotel. Furthermore, they were on the same
