When I Was A Wallflower

Chapter 223

more I think about it, the angrier I feel! I hate this!She was even more annoyed when she saw that Ashton had followed her out. “Get lost. I’m going to look for Leo!” She wasn’t an idiot—she knew that she only had the privilege of being a demanding and authoritative person because of her relationship with Leo back then.
