When I Was A Wallflower

Chapter 82 Mortifying Moment

While Elyse was musing, Toby’s phone rang.

“Mr. Steward,” Toby greeted softly after answering it, causing everyone to hold their breaths.

It was a short call that lasted ten seconds, and by the end of it, Toby’s countenance became evidently different. “Mr. Steward said he’s willing to partner with us.”

“Yes!” Elyse was the very first to jump for joy, clapping her hands as she believed the heavens were on her side.

At that, she returned to Leo’s side with sheer excitement. “What did I tell you, Leo?! Mr. Steward is already tempted. I convinced him!”

“You really are something, Elyse!” Ashton instantly gave the young woman a thumbs-up, then looked profoundly at Leo. “Now that Elyse is Genesis’ number one hero, you have to treasure her, lest someone comes in and swoops her away because of how outstanding she is.”

“You think too highly of me.” Elyse blushed in response. “I merely mentioned it to him. I’m not that impressive.”

Despite being humble on the surface, the sparkle beneath her eyes had already sold her out, for she claimed herself to be the hero.

At that, Elyse threw her hair behind and fixed her gaze on Amelie for a moment.

Ashton, too, diverted his attention on Amelie once more and couldn’t help sneering, “Some people went all out and used some shifty man’s connections to hinder our project, wanting to show off how capable she is, but in the end, she still lost to our Elyse. Those lowly will forever be lowly, and a baboon will remain a baboon even if it wears a crown.”

His words were beyond unpleasant to hear.

Though he didn’t name any names, it was evident he was talking about Amelie, and a spokesperson like Ashton was whom Elyse needed precisely.

The man ranted every single thing she wanted to say to Amelie. Ah, how exhilarating!
