When I Was A Wallflower

Chapter 279 Wherever Leo Goes, I’ll Be With Him

her.When Ellen heard that, she stuck close to Leo and said, “Wherever Leo goes, I’ll be with him.”Jodie was annoyed by Ellen. When she heard what the woman said, she glowered at her.However, Ellen’s attention was all on Leo, so she didn’t notice it at all.On the other hand, Amelie was reluctant, for she did not want to watch Leo and Ellen showing their affection for each other again, nor was she willing to face the grumpy Jodie all the time.She parted her lips, trying to tell them that she wanted to be on the other team. All of a sudden, Leo approached the director and took their name tags.When the other team saw that he had chosen his team members, they took the remaining name tags. In the end, their members were the same as in the previous round.Under such circumstances, it would make Amelie seem difficult if she wanted to go to the other team, and she might be regarded as making things hard for others.Since she only wanted to keep a low profile in this show, she decided to keep her mouth shut.Just then, Jennifer came over with a male participant as she said, “I’m sorry, but we have to quit the show.”Then, they exchanged glances and smiled.The rules stated that if any two of them became a couple, they had to leave the show.All of them instantly realized what was going on, so they offered their blessings to the couple.Jennifer bashfully accepted their blessings and thanked them before leaving with her partner.“In that case, Team A is lacking two people now,” Fabian said.Previously, to make up for the deficiency, even the hosts had to join Team A. Now that two people were gone, coupled with the fact the hosts had resumed their roles, they needed two more people to join Team A so that the people on both sides would be equal.“Why don’t I go to Team A?” Upon finishing his words, Fabian strode toward Team A and stood beside Fiona.“Foxy, why don’t you come over and join my team as well?” Fiona ignored Fabian’s fervent gaze and walked over to take Amelie’s arm.Amelie was eager to stay away from the Alston siblings, so she nodded immediately.“Blakey, why don’t we exchange places?” Silas, who had been keeping a low profile in Team A, winked at Blake.In actuality, they were good friends in private.Before Silas joined showbiz, he was also a figure skating athlete. Blake had helped him a lot in the past.Everyone could tell that Blake was fond of Amelie. As such, Silas decided to exchange places with Blake.“Thanks.” Without turning him down, Blake shuffled toward him and switched places.As his bangs brushed above his beautiful eyes, he flashed an amiable smile at him. Silas clenched the other man’s shoulder and said, “You can do it!”Then, he took a look at Amelie, who stood beside Fiona. Blake put on a gentle and bashful smile. However, when he looked down, he appeared downcast.Without explaining anything, he stood beside Amelie calmly.“They can’t do this to me!” When Jodie saw Blake heading to the other team, she furiously stomped her foot on the ground.She then turned to look at her brother and called out, “Leo…”Nonetheless, Leo remained unmoving as his expression was as solemn as usual.Jodie wanted to join the other team as well, but there wasn’t any place for her. Left with no choice, she snorted and entered the bus with reddened eyes.“Let’s go, Leo,” Ellen said in a childish voice that didn’t match her age as she kept swaying Leo’s arm.Without a word, Leo turned around and shuffled toward the bus. The moment he brushed past Amelie, he stopped in his tracks for two seconds before he started moving again.The ladies only thought that he was waiting for Ellen, so they shot her envious glances. Giada was especially green with envy.Ellen chuckled in response. Although she was a little disturbed, she still noticed how Leo pressed his lips together while the veins on his forehead bobbed when he looked at Amelie. That prompted her to take a look at Amelie with caution.She didn’t recognize Amelie since the latter was wearing a mask. Still, she exerted more force with her hand as she draped her arm around Leo’s.When they entered the bus, they realized that they couldn’t choose the seats they wanted. Their names had been written on the seats, so they had to sit down accordingly.It wasn’t clear if it was a coincidence or if the director had done so intentionally, for Amelie’s seat was just beside Leo’s.The seats with their names gave Amelie a headache. She stopped in her tracks and waited for Leo to complain to the director.As though not seeing Amelie’s expression, Leo pushed Ellen’s hand away and brushed past Amelie before taking a seat.At that, Amelie was stunned.“Leo…” Ellen stood in front of him and muttered under her breath with a pitiable gaze.Even an outsider like Amelie felt sorry for her.When did Ellen learn to be so coquettish and squeamish?An unfazed Leo ordered coldly, “Go to your seat.”Ellen was evidently not happy with the arrangement. She waited for a moment and realized that Leo didn’t seem like he was going to give in. Worried that he would get mad, she bit her lip and walked toward the back of the bus.After sitting down, she batted her teary eyes as though she had just suffered the worst grievance in the world.Amelie glanced at her and felt as if she was the one oppressing her.The female host walked over and said passionately, “Miss Foxy, please have a seat. The bus will set off soon.”Since the female host didn’t have to be a participant this time, her expression was mild and joyful.Certainly, Amelie didn’t want to have a seat, but her refusal to do so would make it impossible for the bus driver to get going.Forget it. Leo doesn’t mind sitting with me, his ex-wife. Why am I being dramatic here?At the thought of this, she set her mind at ease and sat down beside him.Leo wasn’t a talkative person. Amelie didn’t have anything to say to him either, so she fished out her phone and dealt with the learning platform’s affairs.The platform’s development was wonderful. They had launched several economics and business courses, and they were very popular with over a million subscribers.On the other hand, over 300,000 e-books had been uploaded to her online bookstore. Those were all useful and highly sought-after books.Many people had subscribed to the service as well.Amelie went through the statistics and saw some comments saying that some books were too difficult to understand. Several people also said
