When I Was a Wallflower (Leo and Amelie)
Chapter 150

Chapter 150

Amelie was lost in her thoughts when she was abruptly startled out of it, making her raise her head in

confusion.

She saw a fashionably dressed figure. The endorsed, branded haute couture wrapped every inch of her curves nicely. The top-notch cosmetics glowed up her facial features, making her look beyond glamorous.

Elyse. Then again, Elyse and Leo are a couple. So, it's not surprising that she's here, Amelie thought.

She didn't really pay any mind about the reasons behind Elyse's appearance here and, honestly, didn't want to waste her time thinking about it. So, she dismissed Elyse entirely and walked toward Genesis' building.

Actually, Elyse was here because Leo had decided to call off the engagement and even broke up with her. She still couldn't believe that Leo had decided to dump her yesterday, be it out of personal feelings or due to his

career.

After she wallowed in her thoughts for more than half a day, she eventually still decided to come looking for Leo, hoping she could save their relationship.

However, as she didn't want outsiders to know that she came here to beg Leo to take her back, she deliberately wore exquisite makeup and dressed herself to the nines. Then, she even told her manager and assistant that she was only going to keep Leo company.

When Elyse saw Amelie ignoring her, she silently clenched her fists tightly; her eyes flashed with a hint of coldness that even the most eye-catching makeup couldn't conceal.

"Elyse, why are you still here?" Elyse's assistant came over and asked after noticing that Elyse hadn't moved

an inch for quite some time.

After all, it was easy for Elyse to be recognized by the public as she was a famous celebrity. People might start making random speculations if they saw her standing there for a long time without budging. "Maybe later." Elyse managed to restrain her emotions. Her tone was calm and sophisticated when she spoke to her assistant, creating a complete image of a goddess.

Amelie will obviously know that Leo has dumped me if I go there now. Hah! There is no way I will willingly

embarrass myself in front of her!

With that in mind, she returned to her luxury multi-purpose vehicle, preparing to wait in the car for the right time for her to make her appearance. That way, she could maintain her image and receive Leo's undivided

altention.

Alas, her phone rang as soon as she got in the car.

She impatiently whisked it out from her nurse only to con A chton's number nonning un an the screen

She quirked her eyebrows with a slight trace of disgust as she stared at the ID. Even so, she still forced herself to answer, "Hello."

Ashton's voice immediately sounded from the other end of the phone, "It's really weird, Elysel I have utilized all of our family's information channels, yet I can't locate a single trace of the boss of Starlight Media at all."

Elyse went to Ashton and asked him to replace the real boss of Starlight Media after she was exposed for deceiving Leo about Amelie being in a relationship with a fake named, 'Elliot Poole'.

"How could this be?" she asked, the corner of her lips tightening as she was highly displeased with the outcome. Nonetheless, she still didn't forget that her assistant was in front of her. Thus, she raised her chin in

her assistant's direction.

Her assistant received the hint and immediately got out of the car. Then, she quietly closed the door behind her for fear of disturbing Elyse.

Once her assistant shut the door, Elyse pulled out a blanket and covered her legs with an agitated demeanor. Her tone also changed the instant her assistant departed from her vicinity. "Aren't the Lowes the ones who have always claimed that their information channels are top-notch? So, how is it that you can't even get your hands on the information about the boss of such a big company? Or could it be that you haven't been getting the work done properly?"

Ashton, who was on the other end of the phone, swore upon hearing her accusations, "I swear to God from the bottom of my heart that I have always prioritized your affairs. I have been watching my subordinates and looking up information regarding the boss of Starlight Media since last night. I even pulled an all-nighter!"

"Fine. I'll have someone else look it up for me, then," Elyse said testily, not in the mood to listen to his excuses. Then, just when she was about to hang up, Ashton's voice hastily interjected, "Elyse, have you ever thought that, perhaps, the boss of Starlight Media doesn't exist at all?"

"What do you mean?" Elyse's heart abruptly skipped a beat. She didn't know what was wrong with her, but she had a terrible premonition as those words fell from his lips. In fact, she even started experiencing difficulty breathing.

Meanwhile, Ashton was unaware of her growing anxiety as he continued to analyze, "You know that even though the Lowes' information network may not be the best in Clouson City, it's still undoubtedly above average. Many have entrusted us to trace the person of their interest. We can even successfully track those who are experts at hiding themselves without a trace. The boss of Starlight Media has released information through the media repeatedly, so there's no reason he wouldn't leave even the slightest trace on the Internet. Yet, no matter how deep I search, I can't replace this person. This is simply illogical. Therefore, I bet Starlight Media's boss is probably a made-up character."

"Even if they can create such a character, we can't deny that a big company like Starlight Media actually does exist. So, tell me-who would believe that such a big company has no boss?!" Elyse found Ashton's analysis to be extremely absurd. This guy really doesn't think twice when he talks, does he?!

JLI. Late la

In fact, he had been running his fingers through his hair, accidentally tugging it from time to time due to stress. He had a feeling that if he kept doing this, he would eventually turn bald.

A wry look was visible on his scruffy face as he said, "Of course, I know my analysis sounds illogical. But I have already investigated the legal representative they kept on record. That so-called legal representative was just a random person they obtained through an intermediary to make up the numbers!"

Finally, Ashton even kicked a chair in front of him to vent his frustrations.

Elyse rarely entrusts me with her affairs. I can't believe I failed her the one time she asked for my help.

"However, I did look into Starlight Media's information. The actual manager of the company has always been Julia, and her fiancé is Samuel. He and the Lowes are in the same line of profession, and he has made a lot of investments. So, he may be the boss of Starlight Media."

Ashton's analysis made Elyse startle from her seat.

Well, I'm not familiar with this Samuel guy. But if he and the Lowes are in the same line of profession, it will be as easy as pie for him to erase his information from the network. Many things would make sense i he truly is the boss of Starlight Media!But is it really Samuel?

A sliver of doubt instantly wormed into Elyse's mind when she realized that. If this is the case, then why did Amelie fake her relationship with the boss of Starlight Media?

The longer she thought about it, the more she realized how bad the situation was for her.

I'm afraid that everything Amelie currently does is purely to let the Alstons know that her net worth is high! Her real objective is to get Leo's attention and return to the Alston Residence!Why haven't I thought of that?

"Elyse? Elyse?" Ashton couldn't help calling out to Elyse after she left him hanging for a long while.

Unfortunately, Elyse was no longer in the mood to talk to him as she swiftly ended the call without a word and sprung to her feet.

Then, she pushed the car door open and chased after Amelie with tremendous speed she didn't think she even

possessed.

At this moment, Amelie had already arrived at the front desk.

"Hello. I'm looking for Leo Alston, Mr. Alston," Amelie said politely.

"Do you have an appointment?" the front desk lady asked professionally.

Amelie shook her head. "No, I don't. But it's something urgent."

"I'm sorry "Mr Alston will never see you if you don't have an annointment. The front desk lady was methodical

After the front desk lady reminded her, Amelie only realized that she had always saved Leo's number in her phone. I guess I was too hasty and upset earlier that I actually forgot about such a simple solution. She nodded and thanked the receptionist. Afterward, she took out her phone and dialed Leo's number.

Yet, before the call went through, someone abruptly snatched her phone away, leaving her hand empty.

This startled Amelie, so she looked up only to see Elyse standing in front of her, holding her phone.

Elyse seemed to have been in a hurry as her forehead was beaded with sweat.

"M-Miss Clayton!" Sure enough, the front desk lady recognized Elyse. She called out in surprise when she saw

Elyse.

Only then did Elyse realize that she had lost her usual poised elegance. Hence, she lowered her head slightly and wiped off her sweat before she turned her beautiful face and looked at the staff. "It's alright. You can get on with what you're doing. Miss Dillon is here to see me."

As expected of an actress, Elyse restored her goddess image in just a few seconds.

"I see. I see," the lady immediately replied. She also knew that Elyse and Leo were a couple, so she directed the two women to a secluded area in the opposite direction. "There's a reception room on the side. It's safe to have any discussion there."

Elyse was gladdened by this piece of information. Regardless, she discreetly glared at Amelie, but her tone remained as warm as the spring breeze when she spoke, "Miss Dillon, follow me."

Amelie squinted her eyes and stared at Elyse as the woman sashayed away. She was curious to replace out what Elyse wanted to tell her.

Thus, she didn't hesitate to follow Elyse.
