When I Was a Wallflower (Leo and Amelie)

Chapter 78 Who on Earth Is Foxy?

As if struck by lightning, Elyse couldn’t even stand stably as her legs had turned to jelly. At the same time, her mind started buzzing. If Amelie is indeed Foxy, then I’m in no way comparable to her…

“Let’s leave,” Leo suggested, interrupting Elyse’s thoughts. Despite the shocking news, he remained calm and collected. On the other hand, Elyse was unable to move as her legs were leaden, taking a lot of effort to get back into the car.

Leo then drove the car to the hotel. Upon their arrival, he told Elyse to get some rest before heading somewhere private with Toby. When they arrived at a quiet place, Leo fished out a cigarette and placed it between his lips before asking, “Who on earth is Foxy?”

Toby felt his chest tightening even though Leo didn’t look at him. Leo’s sensitive, so he must have a reason. Suppressing the guilt that he felt, Toby pretended to be calm and questioned, “Why are you asking about it?”

Leo lit up the cigarette and took a deep breath. Surrounded by smoke, he squinted his eyes and pondered for a moment. “I’d like to meet her.”

He wants to meet her? That’s no different from killing me. “Since when did you become interested in any women other than Elyse?” Toby breathed shakily and tried to dissuade him. “Forget it. She’s a low-profile person, so I don’t think she’d want to meet you.”

Leo turned his head and stared fixedly at him in silence. His gaze was so dark and deep that it was as though he could see through Toby’s heart. Faced with the man’s stare, Toby almost forgot to breathe.

“Also, why is Amelie here?” Leo stunned him with another question.

Toby felt his legs shaking, but he responded quickly, replying, “Is she here? I had no idea. By the way, Foxy said she’s going to a church, so I’ll have to pick her up now.” With that, he left the place in a hurry and pretended to give Foxy a call.

Leo watched him leave and thought about Amelie again. Is she here for the boss of Starlight Media? There’s something off about her relationship with that man. He divorced his wife for Amelie and set aside a lot of money for Bria’s future. I suppose he loves her deeply. However, I’ve never heard that they’re going to get married, nor have they interacted with each other in any public event. I have a feeling that the so-called boss of Starlight Media does not exist. Why would I be worried about someone insignificant?

He rubbed the center of his brows and shook off his thoughts before leaving.
