When I Was A Wallflower

Chapter 214

fly into a rage. “What precisely did he want to know?”“I am not sure.”Leo’s eyes narrowed.Victor fell into silence, his breathing almost quiet. And for a moment, it felt as if he was not there.A long while later, Leo said, “Look into Amelie’s case.”Victor drifted away like a phantom, saying nothing.…Melissa was chatting with Carol.Carol pouted. “Leo doesn’t like me, does he? He doesn’t talk to me that much, and he almost refused my salves. I had to tell him that you sent me before he begrudgingly took me with him.”Melissa loved Carol. She was a good woman, and she came from a good family. Now that she had concerns, Melissa needed to douse them right away. “Leo’s an aloof man, but I assure you he’s quite passionate inside. He’s just not good at communicating, that’s all.”“Didn’t seem like that with the other girl. He wouldn’t take me anywhere, but he would wait for her. And the moment she got into trouble, he went and helped her.”“Is that so?” Melissa cocked her eyebrow. “That’s odd.” Weird. He was only nice to Elyse. Wouldn’t care about anyone else.“Lots of people saw that. That girl’s really close to Blake. Even came to his defense.” Carol told Melissa everything she saw. “And Leo said that girl is his girlfriend. They even had a child together. Melissa, are you hiding something from me? Is he taken?”“No, of course not,” Melissa denied. Sh*t. A friend of Blake and the mother of Leo’s child? That’s Amelie. What’s going on? Why did they get together again? Melissa was furious, yet she didn’t show it. She kept putting in a good word for Leo and promised she would make Leo apologize to her.Eventually, Carol felt better, and she left happily.Once she was gone, Melissa’s face fell, her smile replaced by fury. “What are you doing, Leo? Why did you poke your nose in Amelie’s case? Damn it, I bet Amelie seduced him again. That wench!” …It was an arduous day at the training class. Eventually, Amelie came out feeling woozy, and she massaged her temples. Gods, I want to go home, but Julia wants to talk to me. Julia came to Halport that day, and she wanted to see Brianna. Amelie stood outside the coffee shop in her neighborhood, waiting for her ride. As she waited, she scrolled through the novel website, going through her stats.She then heard the clops of heels. Oh, Julia’s here. Amelie tucked away her phone and was about to say hi, but that woman stormed up to her and slammed something into her chest. Then she said shrilly, “If you need money, you come to me. Leave Leo alone!”Amelie looked at the woman before her. Melissa. Melissa’s short, curly hair tumbled down to her shoulder. She was in branded-name clothes, and her bag was as expensive as ever. Hanging from her neck was a designer necklace. She looked like a regal woman, and yet her attitude spoke of nothing but a spiteful wench.Amelie
