When I Was a Wallflower (Leo and Amelie)

Chapter 219

Someone held her just in time, though barely—it was the driver. Before Amelie could do anything, she was held by the waist and pulled away from the driver just then. Then, she saw the silhouette of a man standing beside her. It belonged to someone she could recognize anywhere.

Leo was silent. His lips were pursed, and he shot a sharp look at the woman who mindlessly opened her door without checking her surroundings. Scared, the woman fell back into the car, and the door slid shut automatically, slamming into her foot.
