When I Was A Wallflower Chapter 279
Chapter 279 Wherever Leo Goes, I’ll Be With Him
“Why don’t we stick to the previous arrangement? I suppose we’re all used to it now.”Then, Jodie
looked at her brother. “What do you say, Leo?”Leo stopped in his tracks and fell silent.Meanwhile,
Amelie nced at Jodie with surprise, for she couldn’t believe that the woman still wanted to be on the
same team as her.When Ellen heard that, she stuck close to Leo and said, “Wherever Leo goes, I’ll be
with him.”Jodie was annoyed by Ellen. When she heard what the woman said, she glowered at
her.However, Ellen’s attention was all on Leo, so she didn’t notice it at all.On the other hand, Amelie
was reluctant, for she did not want to watch Leo and Ellen showing their affection for each other again,
nor was she willing to face the grumpy Jodie all the time.She parted her lips, trying to tell them that she
wanted to be on the other team. All of a sudden, Leo approached the director and took their name
tags.When the other team saw that he had chosen his team members, they took the remaining name
tags. In the end, their members were the same as in the previous round.Under such circumstances, it
would make Amelie seem difficult if she wanted to go to the other team, and she might be regarded as
making things hard for others.Since she only wanted to keep a low profile in this show, she decided to
keep her mouth shut.Just then, Jennifer came over with a male participant as she said, “I’m sorry, but
we have to quit the show.”Then, they exchanged nces and smiled.The rules stated that if any two of
them became a couple, they had to leave the show.All of them instantly realized what was going on, so
they offered their blessings to the couple.Jennifer bashfully epted their blessings and thanked them
before leaving with her partner.“In that case, Team A iscking two people now,” Fabian
said.Previously, to make up for the deficiency, even the hosts had to join Team A. Now that two people
were gone, coupled with the fact the hosts had resumed their roles, they needed two more people to
join Team A so that the people on both sides would be equal.“Why don’t I go to Team A?” Upon
finishing his words, Fabian strode toward Team A and stood beside Fiona.“Foxy, why don’t youe
over and join my team as well?” Fiona ignored Fabian’s fervent gaze and walked over to take Amelie’s
arm.Amelie was eager to stay away from the Alston siblings, so she nodded immediately.“key, why
don’t we exchange ces?” Ss, who had been keeping a low profile in Team A, winked at ke.InContent protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org.
actuality, they were good friends in private.Before Ss joined showbiz, he was also a figure skating
athlete. ke had helped him a lot in the past.Everyone could tell that ke was fond of Amelie. As
such, Ss decided to exchange ces with ke.“Thanks.” Without turning him down, ke shuffled
toward him and switched ces.As his bangs brushed above his beautiful eyes, he shed an amiable
smile at him. Ss clenched the other man’s shoulder and said, “You can do it!”Then, he took a look at
Amelie, who stood beside Fiona. ke put on a gentle and bashful smile. However, when he looked
down, he appeared downcast.Without exining anything, he stood beside Amelie calmly.“They can’t
do this to me!” When Jodie saw ke heading to the other team, she furiously stomped her foot on the
ground.She then turned to look at her brother and called out, “Leo…”Nheless, Leo remained
unmoving as his expression was as solemn as usual.Jodie wanted to join the other team as well, but
there wasn’t any ce for her. Left with no choice, she snorted and entered the bus with reddened
eyes.“Let’s go, Leo,” Ellen said in a childish voice that didn’t match her age as she kept swaying Leo’s
arm.Without a word, Leo turned around and shuffled toward the bus. The moment he brushed past
Amelie, he stopped in his tracks for two seconds before he started moving again.Thedies only
thought that he was waiting for Ellen, so they shot her envious nces. Giada was especially green
with envy.Ellen chuckled in response. Although she was a little disturbed, she still noticed how Leo
pressed his lips together while the veins on his forehead bobbed when he looked at Amelie. That
prompted her to take a look at Amelie with caution.She didn’t recognize Amelie since thetter was
wearing a mask. Still, she exerted more force with her hand as she draped her arm around Leo’s.When
they entered the bus, they realized that they couldn’t choose the seats they wanted. Their names had
been written on the seats, so they had to sit down ordingly.It wasn’t clear if it was a coincidence or if
the director had done so intentionally, for Amelie’s seat was just beside Leo’s.The seats with their
names gave Amelie a headache. She stopped in her tracks and waited for Leo toin to the
director.As though not seeing Amelie’s expression, Leo pushed Ellen’s hand away and brushed past
Amelie before taking a seat.At that, Amelie was stunned.“Leo…” Ellen stood in front of him and
muttered under her breath with a pitiable gaze.Even an outsider like Amelie felt sorry for her.When did
Ellen learn to be so coquettish and squeamish?An unfazed Leo ordered coldly, “Go to your seat.”Ellen
was evidently not happy with the arrangement. She waited for a moment and realized that Leo didn’t
seem like he was going to give in. Worried that he would get mad, she bit her lip and walked toward the
back of the bus.After sitting down, she batted her teary eyes as though she had just suffered the worst
grievance in the world.Amelie nced at her and felt as if she was the one oppressing her.The female
host walked over and said passionately, “Miss Foxy, please have a seat. The bus will set off
soon.”Since the female host didn’t have to be a participant this time, her expression was mild and
joyful.Certainly, Amelie didn’t want to have a seat, but her refusal to do so would make it impossible for
the bus driver to get going.Forget it. Leo doesn’t mind sitting with me, his ex-wife. Why am I being
dramatic here?At the thought of this, she set her mind at ease and sat down beside him.Leo wasn’t a
talkative person. Amelie didn’t have anything to say to him either, so she fished out her phone and
dealt with the learning tform’s affairs.The tform’s development was wonderful. They hadunched
several economics and business courses, and they were very popr with over a million
subscribers.On the other hand, over 300,000 e-books had been uploaded to her online bookstore.
Those were all useful and highly sought-after books.Many people had subscribed to the service as
well.Amelie went through the statistics and saw somements saying that some books were too
difficult to understand. Several people also said that they didn’t have sufficient time to read those
books. An idea instantly formed in her mind.She was a pragmatic person who loved putting ideas into
action immediately.As such, she contacted the tform’s operations manager at once and started an
intensive discussion with him via text.When the discussion ended, the bus stopped as well.Amelie
stretched her back while feeling pleased with what she had achieved. When she looked up, she met
Leo’s eyes.He pressed his lips together. Unlike how stern he usually appeared, he looked inquisitively
at the woman.There also seemed to be something deeper behind his gaze.Just as Amelie wanted to
find out what it was, she heard someone saying sweetly, “Leo!”Ellen sprinted toward them from behind
and crashed into Leo’s arms, looking as though she had been forced to be separated from her man. It
seemed that she was about to break into tears.Does she think she’s acting in some sort of tragic
drama?Amelie found the woman over the top.Leo didn’t push Ellen away, nor did he respond to her. He
only stared fixedly at Amelie, who was rendered speechless by his behavior.Why is he looking at me
like that? Does he think that I’m a third wheel or something while she puts up a pitiful act?At any rate,
she wasn’t interested in watching such a tacky and cheesy act. As such, she turned around and left the
bus.Behind her, Leo’s face fell as his gaze turned cold and distant.Terrified by the man’s indifference,
Ellen looked at him meekly and muttered, “Leo.”While ignoring the woman, Leo brushed past her and
left the vehicle with a dispassionate expression.
