When I Was A Wallflower

Chapter 237

and all of them were planning to make a move to devour her.He clenched his fists so tight that his fingernails sank into his palm.However, he didn’t visibly react to the pain, let alone grunt. Instead, he only answered, “I got it.”Leo kept his voice as calm as ever the whole time.When he returned to the office, the executives could sense a change in him judging by the way he looked more distant than ever.The veins in his forehead were bulging due to anger.I remember him leaving the room with a smile on his face a moment ago.The men’s gaze all landed on Leo as he strode toward his seat. Instead of sitting back, he put his hands on the table to support his weight as he scanned the others’ faces from a commanding position. “Whoever has acquaintances in the motorsport industry can round up his team and pack their things. I don’t want to see any of you in the company.”The others exchanged looks wordlessly. What’s wrong with having acquaintances in the motorsport industry?In their opinion, Leo was a fair person who rewarded and punished people equally. Even if he planned to fire his employee, the person must be a poor performer who deserved it. He would also present detailed data and in-depth information to prove his decision was right, so the person wouldn’t argue with him.Why is it wrong to have acquaintances in the motorsport industry?

It’s not the air conditioner’s fault!Even though these thoughts were running through his mind, he shut the windows that Leo opened a moment ago without a word before lowering the air conditioner’s temperature.At last, he finally turned to Leo. Even for him, it was the first time to see Leo getting angry to the degree that he tried to fire a group of people without a good reason.As the room temperature dropped, Leo felt slightly calmer. He walked toward the sofa and sat there without saying a word. Resting his hands on his lap, he knitted his brows in annoyance and confusion.What’s wrong with me? Why did I get angry just because Bria told me that Amelie has planned to race against another man tonight?He remembered Toby asking him whether he had fallen for Amelie. He also remembered himself admitting his feelings, but it was only because he felt at peace around Amelie.He would never have thought that learning the news that she was meeting up with another man would affect him that much.Putting the meeting minutes on Leo’s desk, Eugene asked warily, “Mr. Alston, is there anything else?”His
