When I Was A Wallflower

Chapter 278 Leo

“I want you to take it for me, Leo.”Everyone was stunned.Oblivious to their awkward expressions, Leo took the water bottle from the crew member and opened the cap.As though he was worried that Ellen might dampen her clothes, he asked for a cup and filled it with water for her.An elated Ellen said, “You’re the best, Leo!”Then, she took the cup and drank the water.Following that, Leo kept filling the cup for her until she said she was no longer thirsty.Certainly, the videographer wouldn’t miss such a scene as he found the right angle and started recording them.Amelie was standing nearby. When she saw what was going on, her gaze darkened.“What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?” Blake asked worriedly.Then, he pointed to the side. “It’s humid here. Why don’t we get some rest under the tree?”“Okay.”They then shuffled forward and sat down on the chairs with their backs to the crowd.The moment Amelie took a seat, she saw Blake passing a water bottle to her.“Thanks,” she said with a smile.Blake pressed his lips together and looked down at the ground. “Do you still feel sad?”“Huh?” Amelie was taking a sip of water when she heard that. It wasn’t until a moment later that she realized what he was talking about. With a smile, she shook her head. “No.”Despite what she said, the worry on Blake’s face never faded.A helpless Amelie explained, “We’re divorced. Regardless of how many women are by his side, it has nothing to do with me anymore. I still have a bright future ahead, so why should I feel sad over something meaningless?”She was just slightly surprised.After all, Leo wasn’t a man who would be excessively gentle to a woman.Back then, he only connived at Elyse’s wrongdoings, but he never served her water before.“You have a point.” Blake nodded in agreement.“Ouch! It hurts!”Just then, someone exclaimed from behind them.They turned their heads at the same time and saw Leo and Ellen standing behind them.The moment Amelie met Leo’s eyes, she realized that his face was livid.Why is he acting like that? Did he hear what I said? Is he mad at me?“Leo, my head aches badly.” Ellen looked pitifully at Leo and touched her forehead, her eyelashes fluttering.“Alright.” Without saying anything else, Leo carried her and walked away.Amelie was stunned.Was he livid because Ellen had a headache? He’s usually an indifferent man, but he lost his cool when Ellen was in pain. It seems that I’ve underestimated his love for her.Presently, Ellen stuck close to Leo as she wrapped her arms around his waist. The man supported her weight with his strong arms, and he wasn’t bothered by the attention at all.“I guess he really loves her.” Amelie sighed.“Something seems off.” Fiona came over and took Amelie’s hand as they watched Leo leave. There was no doubt she had beautiful eyes.For some reason, she felt that Leo was only carrying Ellen to make someone jealous.Meanwhile, Fabian stood in the distance. He wanted to approach them, but he seemed worried.A moment later, he came up to Blake and spoke to him.Amelie noticed that even though he was talking to Blake, he was stealing glances at Fiona.In truth, she already realized that something was going on between Fiona and Fabian when they were shooting the previous episode. Nonetheless, Fabian took the initiative to talk to her most of the time while Fiona rarely responded to him. “Let’s go. The bus is coming.” Fiona pointed at the bus in the distance and pulled Amelie to somewhere else.As Fabian watched them walk away, there was a helpless expression on his angular face.Meanwhile, in the lounge, Ellen leaned against the chair languidly as though she didn’t have a backbone. She took Leo’s arm and rambled on.“I guess you can’t take part in the show anymore. In that case, I’ll send you home.” Leo retracted his arm and sat down on a chair that was far away from Ellen.There was no longer any softness behind his gaze as he appeared distant and aloof.Without the man by her side, Ellen pouted aggrievedly.He was carrying me gently earlier, but why is he so indifferent now?However, the moment she met Leo’s dispassionate eyes, she straightened up. “It’s fine. I feel much better now. My head no longer aches.”Although Ellen loved Leo, she was also afraid of him.Leo didn’t respond to her. Just then, his phone started ringing.“Just stay here,” he ordered and strode out of the room.It wasn’t until he reached somewhere quiet that he connected the call. “Speak.”“I’ve examined Ellen’s background.” The person on the other end of the line was Victor. “She might not be the girl who used to keep you company back then.”Leo’s pupils dilated when he heard that as he clenched his phone.In truth, he had already doubted Ellen’s identity. Although plenty of evidence showed that she was Big Eyes, he still asked Victor to look into the matter.The truth turned out to be just as he had expected.“We’ll talk about the details when I go back.”“Sure,” Victor replied.After hesitating for a bit, he asked, “Do we have to take Miss Clayton away?”Leo didn’t immediately respond to him while holding his phone. He couldn’t help but recall the images of Amelie and Blake making out.A moment later, he replied, “There’s no need for that.”Jodie took the longest time to put on her makeup, for she wanted to stun everyone with her appearance.When she was done dressing up, she stepped out of the room and realized everyone was there.She ran her hand through her wavy hair and bit her lip charmingly. Then, she sashayed forward while clad in a tight-fitting dress.When she looked at her reflection in the mirror earlier, she was stunned by her own beauty.Just as she expected, she attracted everyone’s attention at once.Giada was the first to compliment Jodie, and the others subsequently approached her to praise how gorgeous she looked.A conceited Jodie lifted her chin, pleased with their compliments.Nevertheless, the person she wanted to see the most was nowhere in sight.She couldn’t help looking around for Blake, and when she finally found him, she wasn’t surprised to see a certain woman beside him.Foxy!Her alluring face
