A Matter of Wife and Love by Mila

Chapter 369 Won’t Let Her Go

“Welcome!”

The beautiful and tall ladies at the reception of Prix Bar simultaneously gave Amelie a warm welcome and bowed respectfully when they saw her.

Amelie smiled lightly as she asked casually, “Is Mr. Alston still here with his friends?”

“Are you looking for Mr. Alston?” One of the receptionists went to her, judging her warily. “May I ask how you are related to him? Do you have an appointment? I’m afraid that I can’t show you to him if you don’t have an appointment.”

“That means he’s still around?” Amelie gasped in surprise.

However, the receptionist took her surprise wrongly, thinking that she was here to hook up with Leo, and she sneered, “Of course, he’s still here, but he won’t meet just anyone randomly. You should call and ask him to send someone out here to take you in.”

On the other hand, Amelie was so anxious that she didn’t even notice the sarcasm in her voice and asked instead, “Did they order any alcohol?”

“Yeah.”

This time, even the other receptionists assumed that Amelie came with an ulterior motive. “Mr. Alston can drink very well and doesn’t get drunk even after finishing a few bottles. Today, he only ordered four bottles, which is less than half of what he usually orders. So, you shouldn’t have any weird designs on him.”

“Exactly. I think you should hone your skills and cultivate some proper talents before trying to approach him.”

These receptionists had seen too many tricks from the women who wanted to approach Leo, and they readily assumed that Amelie was one of them.

In fact, Amelie didn’t really want to meet Leo because she had planned to leave if he didn’t indulge. Yet, when the receptionist told her that he already had four bottles, the alert alarm inside her head blared loudly, and she started storming inside.

The receptionists were about to call for security when they saw that she was going to force her way in when Eugene happened to come out of the room.

“Miss Dillon!” At the sight of Amelie, the light in his eyes shone with pure, unabashed gratitude as though he had met his savior. “You’re finally here! If you’re just a minute late… Mr. Alston might really knock the life out of himself with the drinks.”

“Why is he acting this way?” Her eyes flickered as she tried to ignore his fervent gaze and asked, “Why isn’t Melissa here?”
