When I Was A Wallflower

Chapter 267

invite her. She will surely agree as well.”Elyse was at the phase where she needed to rebuild her reputation. ‘Show Your Love’ was a good opportunity for her.No matter why Elyse left, Amelie was certain she could lure Elyse back to the show.“As for Mr. Alston, I cannot help you there.”When he heard that she could persuade Blake to return to the show, which would draw more people back to the show, his face looked much more pleasant.He had only planned to persuade her today.It seemed like his task was an extraordinary success.“Let me thank you beforehand, Miss Foxy.” He clutched his hands around hers and looked at her as if she was his savior. “No matter what, I still hope you can reconsider your decision.”Her viewer ratings were enough to boost several studios. How could he bear to let that go?As Amelie forced an agreement to her lips, she sensed a strong stare directed at her.She looked up and, through the glass walls of the room, she saw a man walking toward her.Leo? There was the usual blank look on his face. The only emotion seen on it was a solemn look.His gaze was cold but did not seem to be focused on them. When Amelie locked eyes with him, he casually turned to look away.Mr. Hampton noticed Leo as well, and his hands swiftly pulled away from hers.For some reason, he broke out in a cold sweat.He did not know why, but he knew that Leo’s cold glare was actually directed at him.As expected of the famous entrepreneur of the city, a single glare was sharp enough to cut.Mr. Hampton clutched at his heart that had been stabbed by Leo’s gaze just now.Once her talk with Mr. Hampton was done, Amelie headed out of the studio.To avoid being stared at again, she specifically chose a quiet path to head down to the garage. She planned to leave without anyone noticing.She had just taken a few turns down the emergency stairwell when she noticed someone standing before her. It was Leo.One of his arms was drooped by his side with a cigarette between his fingers. To prevent the cigarette sparks from touching his clothes, he kept his wrist tilted upward.The hazy smoke made his fingers seem slim and fair. It was a magnificent sight to behold.He held a phone in his other hand, and he was staring at a nearby window. He did not say much; the only responses she heard were a few hums of acknowledgment.She knew that Leo did not have any business in the entertainment industry. He had definitely traveled all the way here just to help Elyse with the new turn of her career.Recalling his cold stare, she pretended to not have recognized him and walked past him. She did not want to talk to people who did not welcome her presence.She was walking right behind him when he suddenly hung up and turned around to look at her.His gaze locked onto her.She silently stared back at him.After giving him a polite nod, she continued on her way.“Why do you target Elyse?” Leo suddenly asked.There was a frown on his brows. Combined with the way he was holding his cigarette, he looked so cold yet sensual.She was surprised to hear him speak, and even more surprised that he immediately asked her a question about Elyse. Her heart went cold. Any tiny bit of politeness she had in her immediately vanished when she heard that.Indeed, the question had to have been festering in his mind for a long time. He must have been so busy helping Elyse with her career that he did not have any time to ask Amelie about anything.She languidly turned around and stared right into his eyes, just like he did. “What? Does it hurt you to see that?”He frowned harder but did not respond.In her view, his silence was confirmation.She coldly chuckled, her pink lips curved into a mocking smile beneath her mask.“Since it hurts to see that, then keep a close eye on her!”She then walked away.He did not stop her. His brooding gaze remained locked on her figure through the cloud of smoke.He noticed the confident arch of her shoulders and a strut that was filled with determination and strength.He naturally did not ask her that because he was worried about Elyse.He was merely curious.From what he knew of her, she would not target anyone for no reason.However, she used the first episode of the show to completely destroy Elyse’s reputation.Just how big of a grudge did she hold against Elyse?Back in his mind, that question merged with the rest of the questions bothering him. He desperately needed some relief.What did she mean by keeping
