When I Was A Wallflower

Chapter 252

filled with contempt, and it inexplicably reminded her of her ex-mother-in-law, Melissa.Then again, this young woman had everything to do with Melissa, for they were mother and daughter.Yes, the young woman was the one and only Jodie Alston.Even when Amelie had seen far too many things in life, she still couldn’t help being taken aback to encounter Jodie in such an event.Has the ‘Show Your Love’ production team become so undiscriminating nowadays?Of course, Jodie noticed Amelie too, but because Amelie wore a mask, Jodie didn’t make out who it was. Still, it didn’t stop her from looking up condescendingly.The filming began in two shakes, and the hosts briefly introduced Jodie’s background, but because she didn’t have any prominent achievements, they had no choice but to mention her family, shocking the other guests when they learned that she was Leo’s younger sister.Leo single-handedly held up the Alston Family and turned their family business from being on the verge of shutting down to a leading corporate in just a short few years. The man had long become a legend and a household name in Clouson City. Many were curious about Leo’s private life. However, they couldn’t find anything else other than his somewhat messy relationship with Elyse, no matter how they tried.Meanwhile, behind the cameras, the director nodded pleasingly as he looked at the guests’ reactions. This was precisely what he wanted.Celebrities were everywhere nowadays; it was a wealthy family’s life that people were curious about, and Jodie’s inclusion would guarantee a massive wave of viewership.Though Amelie was also surprised by Jodie’s appearance, she merely stayed to fulfill the contract she had signed and had no intention of causing any kind of ruckus. Hence, she naturally wouldn’t have many ideas.Now, I just have to relax, enjoy myself, and be an accompaniment, mused Amelie as she drooped her eyelids lazily.“I’m sure the audience and our female guests are curious to see who our secret admirers are for the night.” The hosts rambled enthusiastically to build up the suspense before finally introducing the male guests.The guys would receive a round of applause when each came out, and the hosts would ask them about their crushes. The audience, too, would guess according to the guys’ answers.The first five were actors who had a few acclaimed works in the past couple of years. Hence, the audience responded enthusiastically. Even those watching the live stream were hyped. Comments were coming in one after another at breakneck speed on the live stream portal.“Our next guest isn’t an actor, but he’s also in showbiz. He’s got the looks, the skills, and the perfect set of techniques that leaves hundreds and thousands of young ladies infatuated with him. But young ladies aren’t the only ones crazy about him. Even moms, grandmas, in fact, even dads and grandpas are crazy about him.” The host evidently spent more time and enthusiasm introducing the sixth guest.Following her instigation, everyone grew increasingly curious, wanting to know just who it could be.“Let’s welcome our next guest!” The second after the host finished her words passionately, a piece of even more exciting music played, and the door in the middle turned from black to a faint Morandi white color.It was a kind of gentle whiteness, warm and wondrous, clean and pure.Meanwhile, the audience all directed their gaze to the slowly opening door and held their breaths in unison.Amelie, too, reflexively looked in that direction to find a nearly thin figure dressed in a similar white color.Despite wearing a plain modern suit, he looked exactly like he could be from a fairy tale. He was unrealistically crisp and handsome, so much so that no one dared to touch him.The handsome young man ambled out and instantly attracted everyone’s attention with his amiable gaze and faint but gentle smile.“Blake Gareth!” Jodie gushed reflexively as joy enveloped her face. In fact, she even jumped without caring that she was onstage.Well, I’ll be damned! Amelie nearly lost her composure when she realized who it was. What the heck is Blake up to?!“Goodness me. He’s so hot!” The female host exaggeratedly fell backward as she had been infatuated.The male host, on the other hand, approached with a smile. “Indeed. Even a guy like me is infatuated with him.”Meanwhile, Blake smiled subtly. It was one laced with a hint of bashfulness of a fresh young adult, gentle and wonderful.Having made infatuated by the smile, the crowd only applauded a long while later before chanting frantically, “Blakey, Blakey!”The chant, too, lasted for quite a while, and when it finally died, the female host approached Blake with her hand on her forehead. “Goodness, Blake. Looks like you’re a crowd favorite. The crowd nearly blew up the studio.”“Thank you, everyone.” Blake gave the crowd a simple thank-you bow while still wearing his signature smile.His every movement was exceptionally graceful, filled with a sense of nobility.While Jodie nearly passed out from excitement, the other young women expressed their shock with different expressions.“I am absolutely shocked that you’ve decided to join us, Blake. Can you tell us whom you have come
