When I Was A Wallflower

Chapter 211

years and knew him well enough to pick up on his displeasure. I didn’t say anything to rile him up, so why is he displeased?“Did he come in because of you? Don’t tell me he suddenly developed feelings for you,” Julia murmured into Amelie’s ear when she saw that Leo showed no signs of leaving.Before Amelie could say anything, the clear, bright voice of a woman rang out. “Leo.”Immediately after, a young, fashionably dressed woman walked over. She was carrying her purse with both hands as she stood elegantly in front of Leo.Her smile made her pretty dimples even more prominent. “Have you been waiting long? I’m so sorry. I got stuck in traffic.”“Let’s go over there,” Leo said as he led the way. Soon, their silhouettes disappeared behind the partition.“What the hell?” Julia cried out as she slammed her hand on the table. “It was obvious that he was standing up for you when he made the announcement last night, but here he is on a date with another woman today! What does he mean by this?”Julia had already heard about Elyse interrupting Amelie and Brianna at the event.Although Elyse didn’t mention the event when she uploaded the picture, Brianna’s classmates and their parents who took part in the event as well knew about it.Elyse’s actions had turned Amelie and Brianna into the subjects of mockery.Julia had been focused on finding a way to get even with Elyse, but before she could do anything, Leo beat her to it.Amelie was amused by Julia’s fury. “You’re the one who misunderstood him, so you can’t blame him for that.”Amelie no longer had any expectations, so she didn’t misinterpret Leo’s intentions. “If he even cared the slightest bit about me, it would’ve been clear during our marriage. Why would he wait until now to show me that he liked me?”Julia understood that too, but she still had a feeling that there were still instances of Leo protecting Amelie. Even though Julia loathed Leo, she knew that Brianna cared about her father, and sometimes, she couldn’t help but entertain the thought that it would be good for Brianna if Leo did fall in love with Amelie. It turned out that she was mistaken after all.Amelie didn’t dwell on this subject, and the candidate arrived soon after, so the three quickly became engrossed in a discussion about work. Eventually, the meeting came to an end. The candidate had other matters to discuss with Julia while Amelie had work to attend to, so she took leave of them.As soon as she stepped out, she saw a tall figure standing right in her path.The man turned around, and Amelie got a clear view of his dashing face.“Blakey?” Amelie called out to him in surprise.Blake’s eyes were as clear as ever. He smiled when he saw her, and it looked as if spring had bloomed across his face.Before Amelie could swoon over the way he looked, the young women beside him were shrieking with infatuation.“It’s Blakey! He’s so handsome. I’m in love!”“He looks even more like a prince in real life.”“Oh, my goodness! I can barely breathe.”Amelie was a little embarrassed when she saw Blake’s adoring fans.However, Blake wasn’t affected by their presence at all as he continued to stare at her.“Hey, is that his girlfriend? She’s very pretty.” The crowd finally noticed where Blake was staring and spotted Amelie.“She makes a good match with him. It feels as if I’m watching a romantic comedy.”“Me too.”“Are you telling me that my celebrity crush has a girlfriend? I don’t want to live anymore.”Amelie was even more embarrassed when the fans mistook her relationship with Blake, so she quickly said, “Please don’t misunderstand, everyone. Blakey and I are just friends.”She said
