When I Was a Wallflower (Leo and Amelie)

Leo placed his hands on the table while looking at Victor.

Even though this made him shorter, it did not make him seem weaker.

As to who was the employer and the employee, one could tell with a single glance.

“What I meant to ask is that did anyone give you false information that even you yourself missed?”

“That’s impossible.” Victor was confident.

Upon hearing that, Leo only nodded before opening his drawer.

Then, he threw something on the table. “Take a look. Is it this dossier?”

Reaching out, Victor took it and only glanced at the cover. “It’s not.”

“It’s not?” Leo was a bit surprised.

Waving the dossier, Victor stated, “All dossiers prepared by me would have my signature on the side.

This doesn’t have it.”

He pointed at the side of the dossier, which was as thin as a hair’s breadth.

“This is my special mark. Normal people wouldn’t notice this.”

With how thin the line was, even if Victor did sign on it, a normal human would not be able to see it.

Taking back the dossier, Leo used the magnification features of his phone’s camera only to find no

such mark on it.

Does this mean someone switched out the information?

“I still have the information. If you want, I can send it again,” suggested Victor.

Saying nothing, Leo slowly put down the dossier, as his fingers dug into the top of the dossier.

Who would be so fearless as to change out the dossier right under my nose?

After Victor left, he sat down again.

This time, his eyes were nearly closed with only a cold gaze emanating from the slit of his eyes.

It was a sharp, cold, and piercing gaze.

Although Toby did not say anything that night, he still realized that Amelie’s real self might be unlike

what the information suggested.

I think she still has something that I don’t know about.

This was why he questioned Victor, who proved him correct.

The thing he was curious about now was what the real Amelie was like.

Pondering this for a while, Leo decided to call Eugene. “Check this date and see who came to my

office.” He then gave him a date before hanging up.

…

In the room, Elyse was drawing her eyebrows.

During this period, she had been casually throwing out the fact that she had been in contact with Leo

all to let the public know that even though they were not couples, they were still close friends.

Thanks to her ‘sister’, Leo did not trouble her, nor did he reply to her.

Since nobody dared to ascertain Leo’s stance, they did not dare to look down upon her. Although deals

and resources were not pouring in, they were starting to talk in a more polite tone to her.

Using this opportunity, Elyse decided to leave Donia’s company and establish her own firm.

Not only is my cut of the share low under this company, I even have to be discriminated against!

I, Elyse Clayton, will fight my way to stardom and show them what I’m truly capable of!

Elyse began to draw her eyebrows more elegantly with that in mind while saying to her new assistant,

“Find a random picture from my phone and upload it later.”

“Do you want to choose one with Mr. Alston in it?” the assistant asked respectfully.

Elyse glanced at her. “Is that a question?”

At that, the assistant quickly walked out.

Yet, just as she opened the door, she walked back in.

Vexed, Elyse asked, “What else?”

“It’s…” The assistant walked up to her and tugged on her arm.

It was only then that Elyse felt something off, and she placed her makeup brush down before looking

toward the entrance.

Standing there was a man, whose fair face had a cold expression, fixated on her with an unknown

gaze.

Although it was a stern look without any emotions in it, it still made Elyse panic, as she stood up with

her hands on the table.

“Leo?”

She called out, forgetting to even change her tone to a gentler one.

Leo rolled his eyes, seemingly responding to her.

He then looked at the assistant, making Elyse understand what he was hinting at. “You can leave first.”

Looking at Elyse, the assistant then looked at Leo.

Leo had a dominating aura about him that was very oppressive. If that assistant continued to stay

there, she knew she would suffocate because of it.

Even though she was worried about Elyse, she chose to leave in the end.

In the room were only Leo and Elyse.

Elyse asked him, “Why did you suddenly come?”

After her perfect image crumbled in front of him, Elyse did not dare to act so casually with him, as she

even spoke carefully.

“How’s your sister?” Leo asked.

His question made Elyse frown. “Same old.”

She then sighed.

“When she got separated from my father, we didn’t know what she went through. Nowadays, she’s as

timid as a mouse. She even gets frightened by the slightest of movements. Even my father and I have

to be careful when delivering her meals to her. Sigh. I don’t even know when she’ll get better.”

“Did you find a doctor?”

“I did. But the doctor said that mental issues were tricky to heal. The treatment won’t be done in the

short term, and he did not guarantee its success either. He only told us to stay with her and see if a

miracle appears.”

“If so, then I can go accompany her.”

“That’ll be great… What?”

Elyse, who only thought that Leo would only casually ask about her sister’s condition, realized what

Leo meant after she nodded in agreement to his statement, and her expression stiffened.

Going slightly pale, she was shocked.
