When I Was A Wallflower Chapter 243
Chapter 243
“Surely it’s not still Mr. Alston?” a reporter asked.“Okay, enough with the guessing. Pay more attention
to our program and my performance, please.” Elyse pretended to be embarrassed and smilingly waved
her hands as she entered the dressing room.Her assistant came running over to touch up her
makeup.She closed her eyes and instructed emotionlessly, “Make the color darker.”She knew that
many people watched ‘Show Your Love’ although it was only a variety show. Among them were some
famous directors, investors, and bigwigs of new media tforms. She could get their attention if she
performed well.She would never have to worry about her path as a celebrity anymore if that
happened.Elyse realized she was the best person she should depend on. She wanted to get famous
before Leo found out that Ellen was not the one he owed his sight to.Even though today could only be
regarded as a warm-up before her real battle, it was very important.Twenty minutester, the show
officially started in the studio.A well-known emcee in a white dress and a male host in a blue suit came
out and enthusiastically introduced the members who had arrived today.‘Show Your Love’ was a
program about secret admirers. The participants would mainly go through thepletion of specific
cooperative tasks to show themselves off to their unrequited love, so as to finally achieve the goal of
making their secret love public.Five female artists appeared on the show today.They took the stage
through a group dance.Elyse had changed into a beautiful and sexy dress to passionately dance with
several other artists.It was only a short interlude and yet, the performance earned a passionate round
of apuse and screams from the audience.The corners of Elyse’s mouth curled upward when she
heard someone yelling her name.It seems I haven’t been forgotten.The other artists who came here
were all celebrities who had just participated in a hit drama, whereas she hadn’t done anything.Noticing
this, the audience began to discuss and specte about how she got in.Elyse would love for everyone
to specte more. The more they guessed, the more her name was mentioned and the more attention
she would receive.“Youdies danced so well that I almost passed out from watching you!” The male
host came over with a smile and sighed.The hostess stood next to Elyse as she announced, “We have
to specifically introduce this guest of ours. Even though she hasn’t developed in the country in the past
few years, her previous works have gotten the attention of many.”Clips of Elyse’s works that matched
the hostess’ words were disyed on the big screen.She was the only one who received such honor
among the five artists.“What’s going on? Why is she the only one being introduced?” someone in the
audience asked in confusion.A person who knew the ropes of the industry replied, “Isn’t that obvious?
She must have been sent in by an investor.”“How powerful of an investor are they to be able to send
someone in?”“Of course, it’s the most powerful one. Haven’t you heard? Yummy Tummy Beverage is
not the most important investor this time. It’s Genesis Company.” The person waved the Yummy
Tummy Beverage in their hand.To promote Yummy Tummy Beverage, thepany ced its products
everywhere on and off the stage.“Genesis Company does not advertise and they only have one
requirement, which is to add someone in.”“Wow! I’m envious.”The gossip-loving crowd had always
loved watching the rich spend money to gain a beauty’s smile.Even though Elyse couldn’t hear
everyone’s discussion while she stood on the stage, she clearly felt the audience’s eyes on her.Her
smile continued to deepen in satisfaction. She could already imagine herself being the center of
attention tonight!She then closed her eyes to enjoy the moment.“The five on stage are all women of
rare beauty. Your good looks and outstanding talents have created countless images on film and
touched thousands of people.” After the female host finished speaking, the host followed suit. “But
there is one person who has won over tens of millions of fans with her talent alone. Even after leaving
the industry for four years, the number of her fans has not decreased after hereback. She even
has more fans than ever! This is the sixth, andst, special guest that we have arranged to join us
today.”The host deliberately kept the audience guessing.The audience thought that there would only be
five celebrities onstage today, but now that there was an additional one whom the host so vividly
described, the crowd was in an immediate uproar.“He’s talking about Foxy, isn’t he?”“Foxy came too?”“I
thought that she never participates in variety shows!” While everyone was still guessing, the closed
door on the stage slowly opened. A snow-white mask slowly appeared from the depths of the blue
light.Elyse’s works initially disyed on the screen were reced by this mask in an instant.It was
snow-white, pure, and vivid.The mask only exposed a pair of clear eyes that people could get lost in.“It
really is Foxy! She’s here!”The crowd immediately went crazy upon seeing her.The tform that was
simultaneously broadcasting the show live was also bombarded withments.This was the type of
reaction shows wanted. Seeing this, the host and hostess exchanged a smile.Elyse was still basking in
the joy of being watched by everyone. However, she couldn’t help being startled when her name could
no longer be heard and was reced by Foxy’s.She swiftly opened her eyes.Her gaze then shifted to
the blue light that the crowd was looking at, but she saw Foxy wearing a mask just like on her live
broadcasts, only revealing a pair of lively eyes.Foxy was wearing a white dress of the same color as
the mask as she sauntered through the stage special effects’ smoke screen.Her footsteps were so light
she looked like she was floating.“Ah! Foxy is also my idol!” The artists on stage couldn’t help but squeal
passionately.Foxy had gotten the attention of seemingly the whole world.However, the perfect smile on
Elyse’s face immediately froze at Foxy’s appearance.Elyse knew better than anyone that Foxy was
Amelie!This damn woman!How did she have the connections to have the opportunity to show off by
herself?!Seeing Foxy here suddenly made Elyse feel as though her being here was only incidental to
Foxy’s appearance.Even the hostess’pliments for Elyse had suddenly be as unimportant as
an unsolicited opinion.F*ck!Now that her spotlight was snatched away from her, Elyse was filled with so
much hatred for Amelie that she could chew a hole in her.On the other hand, Amelie seemed oblivious
to the other woman’s disgust as she stopped in front of Elyse.Her clear gaze unashamedly scanned
Elyse from head to toe.For some reason, that one look made Elyse’s chest feel tight and she
involuntarily cowered to the back.She turned around just enough to take one step to thest position
and stand up straight.The cameramen in front of the stage happened to capture Elyse quietly shrinking
away, making her at a loss for words.As this was the first time the two hosts met Foxy in real life, they
had to ask more questions.A few minutes had passed by the time they brought their focus to the next
segment, which was the female celebrities’ confession time.It was a simple segment. All the women
had to say was whether they had someone they had a crush on, their crushes’ upations, or their
characteristics.This segment would y a guiding role in the arrangement of the male guests. The
female guests would either explicitly or implicitly hint at a lot of things, but they would not reveal who
their crushes were.“What about you, Foxy? Do you have someone you like? What kind of man is he?”
The hosts quickly got to Amelie.Amelie smiled under the mask as a hint of lightheartedness appearedMaterial ? of N?velDrama.Org.
in her eyes. “Does it have to be a man? Can’t I have a crush on a woman?”Amotion immediately
broke out in the crowd.Her words were simply earth-shattering.Taken aback by the unexpected
information, the hostess didn’t know how to respond. Fortunately, the host responded quickly, “And
there is a reason that everyone likes Foxy—you’re straightforward! Can you tell us a thing or two about
thedy you have a crush on?”Instead of answering straight away, Amelie looked to Elyse with a half-
smile on her face.Even though her gaze wasn’t threatening, Elyse still felt her body break out in
goosebumps.Why is this b*tch looking at me?The host took the hint and asked, “Are you interested in
Miss yton?”Amelie casually smiled and glided over to Elyse. “Am I not allowed to?” she asked, her
head cocked.Elyse had noeback.What is Amelie up to? Did she join this program to pick a fight
with me? People will have a prejudice against me if they think I’m not straight! It wouldn’t have
mattered if we were overseas, but this country isn’t that open-minded yet!“That reminds me…” Amelie
continued, “We have history, don’t we?”Her words were getting more and more outrageous by the
second.Elyse knew that she wouldn’t have the chance to rectify this if she didn’t exin it properly
today.No director would hire her if she didn’t give a good exnation!Suppressing the bubbling anger
in her, Elyse forced a smile and decided to clean Amelie’s clock so that Amelie would admit to her
mistakes.And so, she began, “Sorry, but I would like to rify—”Before she finished her words, she
saw Amelie slowly approaching her before lifting her mask for Elyse’s eyes only. “Speaking of which,
last night…”
