When I Was A Wallflower

Chapter 236

to cover her eyes and dared not pursue Amelie.She came looking for Amelie as a result of Ellen’s words.Ellen had implied that Amelie donated the cornea, so Elyse couldn’t sleep all night because of the revelation.She was terrified but intrigued. Did Amelie go to great lengths to save Leo, even if it meant risking her eyesight?It was simple to pretend to be Big Eyes, but no rational person would agree to donate the cornea while they were still alive.Unless Amelie was insane.Elyse had spent the entire night speculating on the possibility. As such, she couldn’t take it any longer and came to Halport.Despite covering her eyes with her hands, she couldn’t stop staring at Amelie from afar. Amelie was standing gracefully, her fair and calm face serene. Elyse squinted and couldn’t see anything wrong. She hadn’t noticed anything wrong earlier either.However, just because one couldn’t see it didn’t mean it was fine.It was unfortunate for her that she could no longer approach Amelie.Approaching Amelie again would not only draw attention from others but would also raise suspicions.As a result, Elyse could only turn around and get back in the car.She shut the door but couldn’t bring herself to touch the steering wheel.Her heart was racing furiously.Will I walk away empty-handed?She was unwilling to do that.Before proceeding to the next step, confirming that Amelie is the cornea donor is of utmost importance.With that in mind, Elyse reached into her bag, took out her cell phone, and dialed a number. “Can you assist me with something?”Amelie returned to look for Elyse after picking up Bria, only to discover that the woman had vanished.Elyse appeared out of nowhere today. She ignored the consequences of being recognized and grabbed me recklessly to stare at me. She didn’t do it just because I look pretty, did she? There must be a reason for her behavior. But what exactly is it?As Amelie thought about it, her cell phone rang.When she saw the unknown number on the screen, she didn’t hesitate and answered the call. “Hello?”“Amelie, you didn’t forget about me, did you?” a young man asked.Amelie was surprised. Immediately afterward, she realized the caller was Chris.She grunted.Chris acted aloof and behaved rudely toward others. However, he changed his mind about Amelie after discovering she was Dash.“Amelie, you promised to have a match with me. I’ve been waiting for you for a long time but have yet to receive your call. Are you looking down on me and refusing to compete with me?”“Of course not,” Amelie said while patting her head as she remembered her agreement with Chris. “I was so preoccupied that I forgot about it.”He calmed down after realizing she had simply forgotten. “Are you available tonight? How about we go head-to-head then?”Amelie lowered her head to check her schedule. “I’m available after 9.00PM.” “Sure.” Chris snapped his fingers. “At 9.00PM, we’ll meet at the new racing track. I’ll see you there!”“Sure.”Amelie wanted to use this thrilling sport to clear her mind and relieve her accumulated stress.After that, she messaged Julia, asking if she wanted to join her in the car race.Julia called back quickly. “I have an important dinner to attend tonight. I really have to go.”“Looks like it’s just me, then.” Amelie was unconcerned.“Are you okay with going by yourself? Your vision is poor,” Julia stated with concern.Amelie smiled at that. “This is not a fight to the death. I’ll do what I can.”Her skills would be worse without Julia’s guidance, but it would not significantly impact her performance.Furthermore, the match was meant to fulfill Chris’ dream. As a result, even if she lost, she would not be embarrassed.Amelie ended the call after a short chat with Julia.Bria, who was holding Amelie’s hand, blinked a few times while her mother was on the phone.After returning home, the girl rushed to her room and dropped her bag. “I’m going to play with my toys in the room!”She shut the door tightly as she said this.Amelie didn’t want to bother her, so she went to the kitchen to assist Steven in his cooking.Bria placed her ears on the door of the room. When Amelie’s footsteps faded, the girl took off her shoes and climbed onto the bed.Then, she took out her small cell phone and called Leo.Meanwhile, Leo was handling important business in the company. He was in a large modern meeting room with a cold air conditioner. The senior executives were all sitting up straight.Leo, who sat in the chief seat, was also glum. He tapped the table repeatedly with his slender fingers. “Why are there so many people here but none of you can solve the problem?”He didn’t spit out harsh words, but his tone was cold enough to give the executives goosebumps.Everyone knew that while Leo spoke less, he worked hard and was generous to his subordinates. If an employee performed well, he would give them numerous bonuses.There were also many holidays, and one could take advantage of various high-end travel opportunities for free. Genesis employees saw Perou and global tours as commonplace.However, if one of them made a mistake, the entire team would be fired.The industry was well aware of Leo’s generosity, so many people were constantly attempting to join the company. The company had no shortage of talent.As a result, the employees were determined not to be fired.Even if they could find another job right away, it wasn’t easy to find another company that offered the same benefits as Genesis.All of Genesis’ leaders and employees worked hard to stay in the company.However, they were bound to have a bad day regardless of their efficiency.Their current challenge was severe. As a result, the executives could not find a solution quickly and exchanged blank looks among themselves.Leo’s expression darkened as they couldn’t respond. “I didn’t pay you big bucks to stare at each other’s faces! Since you are unable to respond, then…”When they heard his words, the executives broke out in cold
