When I Was A Wallflower

Seemingly coming to her senses, Eunice hurriedly smacked her lips. "Oops! I couldn't control my mouth. Please don't take my words seriously. What I said is merely nonsense!"

"Come on, let's have a drink!" Brenda hurriedly took two glasses from the waiter's tray and handed them to Amelie and Eunice.

"Thank you." Amelie took the glass and merely brought it near her lips without taking a sip. They're obviously putting on a show, and I'd be foolish not to notice.

The two of them wanted to make Amelie feel uneasy, but they never assumed that she and Toby were only pretending to be lovers. Thus, she wasn't interested in his past relationships.

While the two took their drinks, they waited for Amelie to ask questions, but when she remained silent, the two couldn't read her mind. Soon, they finished their drink, exchanged glances, and made up an excuse to leave.

In the end, Amelie's ears were finally clear of noise! Rubbing her earlobe, she felt pity for Toby.

Anyone who grew up in such an environment would have been abnormal by now.

On the other hand, Leo stood alone upstairs, aloof and with a chilly gaze. His intimidating aura automatically formed an invisible barrier preventing anyone from crossing his territory.

He had been fixated on the crowd below, specifically the figure in white downstairs. From the beginning of the dance until Amelie was left alone, he had been watching her. He was already upstairs even before she and Toby ended the dance.

Nonetheless, he wasn't actively refusing to watch them. He worried he'd be unable to control his urge to rush onto the dance floor and break up the couple! Leo had strong self-control, so he always ensured he wouldn't cross the line, but earlier, he almost did.

Moreover, he wasn't someone considerate. He was presumptuous in the business industry and never had the slightest sympathy. Even if he caused trouble at Alfred's birthday banquet, he didn't really care, but his actions might bring embarrassment to Amelie.

While clutching the glass in his hands, no particular emotion was shown on his face. No one noticed the dark, red fluid dripping from his palms to the ground. The glass in his hands had already broken, causing the sharp shards to pierce into his skin.

However, Michelle noticed Leo's hand was bleeding. When she was downstairs, she already realized he was staring at Foxy. Even when Foxy and her cousin started dancing, he still looked at her.
