When I Was A Wallflower

“This is impossible!” Melissa wrapped her fingers tightly around the phone with one hand while the other rapidly swiped through the webpage. At the same time, the fair skin on her forehead appeared to be covered in veins, and her eyes filled with rage and hatred. The next second, she slammed her phone onto the table and poked her chest with one finger. Ah! It hurts! Why does everything going on have to give me anxiety? Blake won’t stop wooing Foxy, while that shameless woman, Amelie, won’t leave my son alone!

At that thought, she wished she could confront Amelie in person and slap her in the face. “Where is your sense of shame, Amelie?! Have you not had enough sponging off us for the last four years? Why won’t you just go away and leave us alone?!”

She was annoyed with Amelie, whom she considered a threat from outside her family, yet the disappointment about her son’s disobedience only added to her frustration. Ironically, the more she dwelled on that matter, the stronger the stab of pain grew in her chest.

“Mr. Alston, will you continue to be a part of ‘Show Your Love’?” A voice was suddenly heard from the television.

Melissa bitterly shifted her gaze to the television and saw the camera changing its direction toward Genesis’ entrance, a grand-looking gate made of granite. The next second, Leo stepped out of the car and presented his charming self in front of everyone. With his usual glacial look, he began to walk in the direction of the building in a decent outfit. When she saw that, she had to admit she was proud of her son, although he did not like her very much. That’s my boy! Outstanding and handsome like nobody else!

In the meantime, Leo was quickly surrounded by the press that had been waiting at the entrance as he was faced with several microphones near his face. Surprised by the unexpected situation, he was forced to stop in his tracks along with the people who were following behind despite his busy schedule. He glimpsed the paparazzi around him and furrowed his eyebrows unhappily, pursing his lips with a scowl on his face.

Meanwhile, the security guards at the door were shocked when they noticed Leo’s reaction. Thus, they quickly stepped in and separated the paparazzi from him. “I’m sorry, Mr. Alston. It was our fault that we failed to notice the paparazzi at the entrance.”

Nevertheless, Leo’s eyes remained emotionless just as the guards went on to clear a path for him among the crowd.

her frustration slowly faded away. Soon, a smile showed on her face because she was sure Leo did not attend ‘Show Your Love’ for Elyse, but instead, he did that for Foxy. Apart from that, she also knew it was Leo’s idea instead of the director to appear in so many scenes of the show, having requested the original footage from the director so that she could watch all the scenes
