When I Was A Wallflower Chapter 211
Chapter 211
Thanks to Toby, Amelie tossed and turned in bed all night long. In the morning, after dropping Brianna
off at school, Amelie was nning on heading home for a nap when she got a call from Julia.Julia said
she had a remarkable talent to introduce to Amelie.Amelie’s audiobook service tform was beginning
to produce results, so she nned on starting a new project that offered offline training courses. Thus,
she was looking to hire people for the project.It was hard to find great talents, so after hearing what
Julia said, Amelie booked a ride to Clouson City without wasting any time.When she arrived, the
candidate wasn’t there yet. Julia was drinking coffee by herself.Julia spotted Amelie and immediately
waved at her, but when she saw Amelie’s face, she eximed, “Oh, my. Your undereye circles are
pretty dark. What happened? Did you lose sleep over Leo’s announcement?”“Why would I?” Amelie
immediately retorted in embarrassment.It did have something to do with Leo, but it was mostly because
he got into a fight with Toby and she had to go over to talk them down, which culminated in Toby’s
confession.Still, she wasn’t going to agree to start a rtionship with Toby, so she saw no point in
mentioning this to Julia.“Oh,” Julia replied, but her expression became rather strange.Amelie didn’t
understand why, so she turned around to see what Julia was looking at. What she saw was a cold and
stern-looking face.The man’s features were wless, but his brow was hard.A stifled feeling rose in
Amelie’s chest. Her limbs felt numb.Julia shuddered and backed away ever so slightly as she thought,
That b*stard Leo has such an imposing presence. How scary!Amelie had been married to Leo for four
years and knew him well enough to pick up on his displeasure. I didn’t say anything to rile him up, so
why is he displeased?“Did hee in because of you? Don’t tell me he suddenly developed feelings
for you,” Julia murmured into Amelie’s ear when she saw that Leo showed no signs of leaving.Before
Amelie could say anything, the clear, bright voice of a woman rang out. “Leo.”Immediately after, a
young, fashionably dressed woman walked over. She was carrying her purse with both hands as she
stood elegantly in front of Leo.Her smile made her pretty dimples even more prominent. “Have you
been waiting long? I’m so sorry. I got stuck in traffic.”“Let’s go over there,” Leo said as he led the way.
Soon, their silhouettes disappeared behind the partition.“What the hell?” Julia cried out as she
mmed her hand on the table. “It was obvious that he was standing up for you when he made the
announcementst night, but here he is on a date with another woman today! What does he mean by
this?”Julia had already heard about Elyse interrupting Amelie and Brianna at the event.Although Elyse
didn’t mention the event when she uploaded the picture, Brianna’s ssmates and their parents who
took part in the event as well knew about it.Elyse’s actions had turned Amelie and Brianna into the
subjects of mockery.Julia had been focused on finding a way to get even with Elyse, but before she
could do anything, Leo beat her to it.Amelie was amused by Julia’s fury. “You’re the one who
misunderstood him, so you can’t me him for that.”Amelie no longer had any expectations, so she
didn’t misinterpret Leo’s intentions. “If he even cared the slightest bit about me, it would’ve been clear
during our marriage. Why would he wait until now to show me that he liked me?”Julia understood that
too, but she still had a feeling that there were still instances of Leo protecting Amelie. Even though Julia
loathed Leo, she knew that Brianna cared about her father, and sometimes, she couldn’t help but
entertain the thought that it would be good for Brianna if Leo did fall in love with Amelie. It turned out
that she was mistaken after all.Amelie didn’t dwell on this subject, and the candidate arrived soon after,
so the three quickly became engrossed in a discussion about work. Eventually, the meeting came to an
end. The candidate had other matters to discuss with Julia while Amelie had work to attend to, so she
took leave of them.As soon as she stepped out, she saw a tall figure standing right in her path.The man
turned around, and Amelie got a clear view of his dashing face.“key?” Amelie called out to him in
surprise.ke’s eyes were as clear as ever. He smiled when he saw her, and it looked as if spring had
bloomed across his face.Before Amelie could swoon over the way he looked, the young women beside
him were shrieking with infatuation.“It’s key! He’s so handsome. I’m in love!”“He looks even more
like a prince in real life.”“Oh, my goodness! I can barely breathe.”Amelie was a little embarrassed when
she saw ke’s adoring fans.However, ke wasn’t affected by their presence at all as he continued
to stare at her.“Hey, is that his girlfriend? She’s very pretty.” The crowd finally noticed where ke was
staring and spotted Amelie.“She makes a good match with him. It feels as if I’m watching a romantic
comedy.”“Me too.”“Are you telling me that my celebrity crush has a girlfriend? I don’t want to live
anymore.”Amelie was even more embarrassed when the fans mistook her rtionship with ke, soProperty ? N?velDrama.Org.
she quickly said, “Please don’t misunderstand, everyone. key and I are just friends.”She said this
because she didn’t want to damage ke’s image. He was pure and wless in every way, and she
would feel guilty if he was stained in any way.Everyone brightened up when they heard Amelie stating
that she wasn’t ke’s girlfriend.The fans understood ke’s personality, so they didn’t go overboard
with their reactions and left after greeting him.Amelie exhaled in relief to have avoided a messy scene.
When she turned around, she noticed the hurt look in ke’s eyes.She was startled, but she didn’t pay
much attention to it as she said, “What a coincidence. I didn’t think I’d bump into you here.”ke hid
the hurt in his eyes and asked, “Why didn’t you let me take part in Bria’s event?”“Huh?” Amelie stared
nkly at him as she didn’t expect him to ask this question.“Am I not qualified?”“Not qualified? Of
course not! There’s no such thing!” Amelie instantly refuted him.All along, she thought that ke was
merely joking and wouldn’t care about it. However, since he asked, she had to be honest and tell him
that Leo took part in the event.ke pursed his lips, and his expression grew a little stormy. It was
completely at odds with his usual warm and pure-hearted image.Amelie had always treated him like a
younger brother and liked the guileless side of him, so when she saw his reaction now, she couldn’t
resist taking his hand. “I know you like Bria, but you’re a celebrity so it won’t be wise for you toe to
Bria’s events. I don’t want people to gossip and create unwarranted rumors about you.”“I don’t care
about that.” His voice was just as soft and warm as ever, but there was a trace of stubbornness in it as
well.Amelie didn’t know what to say.ke kept quiet, but he continued to stare at her with clear, gentle
eyes.That look in his eyes…“You said you’re not a couple, you liars!”Before Amelie could look any
closer, a shrill voice pierced through the air.One of the fans who left moments ago jumped back out and
shrieked at the top of her lungs.Amelie was speechless.She turned around to look at the fan and saw
the young woman with a hurt expression on her face. Her eyes were reddened, and her fists were
clenched.It looked as if she had caught her boyfriend cheating on her.“See! You’re holding hands, and
so tightly too!” she fumed agitatedly as she pointed at Amelie and ke’s sped hand.Amelie was
still speechless.She quickly withdrew her hand and said, “This is just a misunderstanding.”However, the
young woman wasn’t convinced. She stared at ke with teary eyes and asked, “Tell me, key. Do
you like her?”
