When I Was A Wallflower

"Aren't you going too far, Foxy?"

Michelle's best friends could no longer stand her. They pushed through the crowd and started criticizing her in the face.

"You saw Michelle playing the piano on stage, but you still decided to pull a trick to make her feel worse!"

Amelie was speechless.

If she had known that her actions would draw such a huge crowd, she wouldn't have done it in the first place.

"I'm sorry," she apologized sincerely.

"Do you think an apology is enough after you ruined her performance?" Her best friends were indeed not easy to deal with. They refused to accept her apology.

In fact, Amelie did not have to apologize for her actions.

She merely took a step back to prevent Michelle from suffering humiliation, but she didn't realize how aggressive these women could be.

Amelie suddenly found their unreasonable behavior amusing.

Just as she was about to speak, a soft voice sounded from the crowd. "It's okay."

Michelle had somehow come down the stage while holding the hem of her dress elegantly.

Her exasperated image from before was long gone.

She walked into the crowd with a magnanimous look and a smile on her lips. "Anyway, I only want to play the piano for one person. I don't mind if others will leave. Stop causing a fuss, girls."

After saying that, she looked at Leo with loving eyes.

There was bliss but also shyness in her orbs.

It was then that Amelie realized Leo had been standing under the stage, listening to her music. He never left his spot at all.

It seemed that Leo was attracted to her gesture.

Hearing that, everyone cast their gaze at Leo.

"Oh, it's Mr. Alston!"

"These two…"
