When I Was a Wallflower (Leo and Amelie)
Chapter 128

Chapter 128

When Jodie was about to insult Amelie again, she saw her surrounded by the audience and realized there were only a handful of people around her. As her face turned pale, she couldn't help but ask herself what was wrong.

How is that possible? Although she didn't see how Amelie danced, she was confident in herself, having learned from the best dancer there was and had acquired professional certificates in dancing. Fine, I guess that's because they were attracted to Amelie. After all, it was her first time dancing. At the thought of that, she waved her hand at the person working backstage as a sign for the music to play. This time, Jodie decided to do the tango. While tango music was much more slow-paced than music for the Paso Doble, she was finally able to get a few glimpses of Amelie's dance. What? Her dance is... impressive! Jodie looked at Amelie like the latter was an alien, thinking she must have been seeing things.

Hang on! Amelie has no talent, so there is no way she knows how to dance! Despite Jodie's doubts, Amelie's dancing talent was acknowledged when the audience only kept their eyes on her. Refusing to admit defeat, Jodie decided to reveal her hidden card to turn the tables against Amelie. I bet that woman only knows the tango and Paso Doble, so I'm going to change my dancing style now and catch her off guard.

At the thought of that, she quickly changed her dancing style, only to realize Amelie was able to match her every move. Amelie was even able to get a step ahead of her during each switch, performing her every movement more smoothly and professionally.

By the time the music finished, Jodie realized there was no one else left around her. Humiliated and defeated, she clenched her fists bitterly while her lips trembled uncontrollably. Deep down, she wished she could just bury herself in a hole to get away from the embarrassing situation.

"I'm sorry, Miss Alston. Amy wins this round." Julia came over with a smile.

Jodie pointed her finger at the lady, her eyes turning red as she stubbornly refused to concede. "She only won because this is Starlight Media's turf. Everybody is only applauding her out of respect!"

In that case, why did you come here and stir up trouble in the first place? But thanks to you, Amelie was once again able to impress everyone with something different and earn their respect. Julia only laughed it off sarcastically, silently calling Jodie a fool for messing with Amelie despite knowing she was on her turf.

Soon, she sighed and patted Jodie's shoulder. "Look, word has it that everyone is unhappy with the Alston Family for treating Amy less than she deserved, especially your brother, yet the fact that you came here today only proves the rumors were right. Thus, I'd say you only have yourself to blame for that."

At that instant, Jodie's face blanched in shame as she clenched her jaw tightly. She then walked up to the audio engineer and snatched his phone, knowing he had recorded them when they were dancing. Impossible!" It seemed as if she was dancing with her soul.

While there were only a handful of people who could dance so impressively, Amelie was one of the few who could infect all those around her, making them so intoxicated that they lost themselves in her dance. Anyone with skills like hers is a professional in dancing! Upon the realization, Jodie was overwhelmed by a strong urge to leave the place badly due to such an embarrassing defeat.

On the other hand, Elyse, who had been watching the entire time, silently knitted her eyebrows unhappily as she didn't expect Amelie to beat Jodie in dancing. Who is Amelie? Why is she so good at car racing and dancing?

It was then Elyse realized she might not have seen through Amelie. The next second, she shifted her gaze to Leo, seeing him stand like a statue without any emotion on his face as if he had nothing to do with none of what was going on.

Nevertheless, Elyse saw Leo's eyes that fell upon Amelie, and she noticed the upward curve of the corner of his eyes like he was proud of Amelie. However, he appeared to be pursing his lips tightly in a preoccupied manner, making Elyse wonder what he was thinking in his mind.

Soon, she began feeling overwhelmed by her wild imagination as she staggered and collapsed onto Leo. "Leo, I'm starting to feel dizzy again. Let's get out of here." At the same time. Toby curled his lips upward and smiled upon witnessing Elyse's fake pretense.

"Okay." Leo forced himself to take his eyes off Amelie and walked out of the door with Elyse.

"Let's see who can sing better!"

A voice suddenly echoed through the venue, catching Leo and Elyse's attention. When they turned around. they saw Jodie on the stage with a microphone in her hand. Staring at Amelie in a hostile manner. Jodie was not happy with her defeat. Therefore, she succumbed to the temptation of provoking Amelie again, believing she would beat her in singing.

Nonetheless, Amelie only looked at her coldly, reacting with a faint smile. "Sorry, I don't sing for free, and neither do I sing without any prior notice." She had better things to do other than settling her scores with Jodie.

"You!" Jodie was piqued for being ignored and dismissed once more, her face turning red when she heard Amelie's response. At the same time, she held the microphone so tightly that her fingernails started to turn white, but soon, she lightened up again. "Well, it seems that Miss Dillon has no idea how to sing at all. Starlight Media is a place for talented people to shine, yet Miss Dillon can't sing at all. It makes me wonder how you're able to run the company."

When Amelie heard her words, she only responded with a smirk and laughed at her for her ignorance. "I bet you haven't set foot in a record company before, have you? Have you ever seen anyone singing while managing a company?" Julia refuted Jodie's words with an ironic question, making everyone around them laugh in

"Why don't you sing for us, Miss Dillon? Let us hear your beautiful voice." The people around Amelie tried to convince her to perform, curious to replace out what she was capable of. More importantly, they wanted the drama to go on.

Nonetheless, Amelie only pursed her lips in silence, showing no intention of going along with the crowd. I'm not a monkey, so I will not do what people tell me to do unless I want to.

Meanwhile, Leo was still there, somehow replaceing it hard to take his eyes off Amelie. Despite her reticence, the calm and confident look on her face made her seem tough and strong. Other than that, her shining eyes and dominant aura easily made her the center of the spotlight in the place.

Therefore, she was deemed to be better than Jodie even though she didn't have to say a single word. She is a different person from the timid lady she used to be when she was still living with the Alston Family Also, she is not the same person as the confident car racer back then. I guess there are all kinds of people in this world, each with a different heart that lies beneath a different face.

Suddenly, the thought of that somehow reminded Leo of Foxy. He then recalled Toby telling him that Amelie looked like Foxy, which was something he had never really paid extra attention to. Thus, his curiosity prompted him to make a quick comparison as he reached for his phone and searched for the app that Toby always used.

In the meantime, Elyse heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Leo taking his eyes off Amelie, only to be stunned to see him downloading an app with his phone. Just when she was about to ask him about it, she suddenly heard a voice. "I'll sing!"
