When I Was a Wallflower (Leo and Amelie)

When I Was A Wallflower Chapter 218

Brianna was in a deep sleep. Her skin was gleaming, her cheeks were puffing, and a bubble hung from her nose. Then she gurgled, perhaps seeing something in her dream.

Amelie wanted to wake her up, but after hearing that laugh, she decided against it. In the end, she took a seat before the bed and whipped out her tablet from her bag. Then she hooked it up to a set of keyboards and started working away.

The moment Amelie came, Leo lost his mood to work. He stood beyond the door, staring into the room. And he saw Amelie working away on her tablet. Her head was hanging slightly low, revealing her slender neck. A few strands of hair clung to it, swaying as she moved. Her profile was gentle and beautiful, her lips lustrous and pink. Her attention was on the screen before her. He had no idea what she was working on, but she looked beautiful when she was serious.

Leo was immersed in the scene, only snapping out of it when Eugene came to hand in some documents. He put a finger to his lips.

Oh, right. Bria. Eugene slowed down and handed the document to Leo. He whispered, “You need this in a moment.”

Leo looked at the document, and then Eugene saw who was inside the room. The first person he saw had a slender figure belonging to a woman. Wait. That’s a woman in there! Eugene’s jaw dropped. Leo was someone who took relationships seriously. He never had any other woman other than Elyse. He would move away even when a woman was trying to touch his hand. Eugene thought he would find no other woman after Elyse, and yet now he saw his boss hiding a woman in his waiting room. Who is…

Just when he was about to have a closer look, he felt a chill run down his spine, and he shivered. He looked back only to meet Leo’s stern, dark gaze. He shivered once more. It felt like he just had a hundred spears pierced through his body. He imagined his cartoon side jumping around while being pierced by spears. Quickly, Eugene looked down and took the file from his boss. He felt the file slamming into his hands, and the steel rings hit his pinky. Ow. Do you have to go that far? But he didn’t say that out loud.

“Leave,” Leo said coldly.
