When I Was A Wallflower

Chapter 151

After Elyse pushed the door to the receptionist area open, she didn’t hesitate to make herself comfortable. She leaned over and placed Amelie’s phone on the table before she gave Amelie a provocative look.

“Miss Dillon, you can ignore me. But Leo will never see you without my consent,” Elyse said as she sat cross- legged, totally portraying the attitude of being the Alstons’ head of the house. She didn’t even gesture for Amelie to take a seat either.

Amelie lowered her head slightly before she said, “Miss Clayton, I never knew you were so capable to the point that you could control Leo’s life even before marriage.”

These words that escaped Amelie’s lips sounded like a compliment. Yet, to Elyse’s ears, they sounded extraordinarily harsh and even carried a hint of ridicule.

Elyse had to force herself to uncurl her fingers, which she hid on the other side several times in a row to maintain her graceful demeanor. “Miss Dillon, why don’t you talk about why you’re here looking for Leo?”

“This matter is between Leo and me. It would be better for us to solve it ourselves.” Amelie looked at Elyse and slightly leaned forward. Although she didn’t bother excessively expressing herself, she succeeded in exuding a condescending aura.

Elyse instantly felt inferior.

As soon as she said those words to Elyse, she grabbed her phone and intended to leave.

“Amelie!” Once again, Elyse stopped her. Bang! She even rushed ahead of Amelie and shut the door tightly in front of Amelie.

Elyse became highly anxious and crisis-stricken after she learned that Amelie couldn’t be emotionally involved with the boss of Starlight Media.

Then, as though she wanted to comfort herself somehow, she pressed her back against the door for stability. Still, she felt that doing so wasn’t enough, for she later pressed both hands on the door

At last, an angry look was visible on Amelie’s face. She frowned and sharply questioned, “Elyse, what are you trying to do?!”

Elyse hastily wracked her mind of the possible reasons for Amelie looking for Leo instead of answering her straightaway. “You’re here today because of Bria’s custody, aren’t you? Leo has told me he will undoubtedly file a lawsuit seeking court intervention. However, he’s very busy, so he has long entrusted this matter to Mrs. Alston and me, asking us to handle it ourselves. Therefore, it’s pointless for you to go to him, for he is too busy to see you,” Elyse said, thinking it would anger Amelie.

Amelie stood still and stared Elyse down, making the latter feel unsure and couldn’t help sizing her up in
