When I Was A Wallflower

"Is Amelie kidding me right now?"

Melissa had just decided to accept Amelie, but the latter was already getting married! She read the words on the screen over and over again, feeling like fate was mocking her.

The news article was reporting the news of Amelie getting married to Starlight Media's owner. The boss of Starlight Media had been missing for so long that Melissa almost forgot this person even existed.

Melissa felt like someone was choking her, and she couldn't catch her breath.

"What the hell?!"

Gripping her phone, Melissa began pacing around the house. The sleepiness she managed to develop had vanished in an instant. After pacing for a while, she thought long and hard about it, then suddenly realized that it might not be bad news after all.

Even if Amelie got married, they still had Foxy. Foxy's 100 million fans were far more impressive than Amelie's reading platform.

If she secured Foxy, no matter what the latter tried to do, she could easily win!

After shifting her focus, Melissa began anxiously thinking of ways to get Foxy and her son together.

…

It was a new day. Like always, Julia leaped out of the car in great vigor and strode with a haughty aura toward her own office.

She had just arrived at the steps leading to the main entrance of Starlight Media when she accidentally caught sight of a tall man standing next to the steps.

When she recognized the man, she couldn't help but click her tongue. "Wow, I didn't expect to see trash here."

Her voice wasn't too loud, but her eyes were filled with obvious disdain.

Not many people could incur such wrath from Julia, and one of them was Leo.

Leo didn't look like he sensed her disgust as he remained standing. His thin shirt clung to his skin as the chilly morning breeze rustled the leaves around them. He didn't seem affected by the cold as he remained stationary.

On the contrary, his natural stern aura felt even colder than the wind. Julia suspected that the one getting frozen to death wouldn't be him but the wind instead.

Julia had nothing nice to say about Leo, so she gave him a glance and decided to take another path. However, Leo suddenly turned around as if he had eyes on his back. He walked toward her and blocked her path in just a few steps.

"Miss White, I have a question."

impatience was clear in his eyes, but he suppressed his attitude when he talked to her. Even though his voice was as cold as always,
