Chapter 363 Virtue Doesn’t Fit Status
It was another busy day with plenty of preparations required for Julia’s wedding. As her best friend, Amelie could not just sit by and do nothing. She was so occupied with her tasks that sunset soon arrived. It was only when Bria gave her a video call that she eventually remembered she hadn’t contacted her daughter and her father after arriving here.
She had wanted to bring Bria along, but she was about to enter elementary school soon and her kindergarten lessons were scheduled pretty tightly. Her father’s heart wasn’t in a suitable condition for him to fly either, so she needed someone there to accompany him while she was there. That was why she had left Bria behind.
“Mama, is Miss Julia there with you? I want to wish her a happy marriage.” Bria’s voice was crisp and sweet. It was a melodious sound, and she had grown so much in these two years.
“Miss Julia has already been picked up by Papa Samuel. Why don’t I help you send the message to her?” Amelie responded apologetically. Samuel was now obsessed with pampering, protecting, and also accompanying his wife. He would be with his wife whenever he had the time. Even though Amelie was extremely close to them, she was reluctant to be the third wheel and went back when she had finished her tasks.
She was staying at the condo she had bought in Clouson City back then. While she had spent the last few years overseas, she would employ someone to maintain and clean the place, thus the condo was spotless.
“Okay.” Bria didn’t sound disappointed and went on to ask about the details of Julia’s wedding before moving on to talk about Steven. Her eyes were wide and expectant as she chattered away.
Amelie knew what she was waiting for, but considering Leo’s current circumstances, she couldn’t say anything she wanted to. He had always been an imposing and respectable figure in Bria’s eyes, and Amelie didn’t want to destroy that image. She had no choice but to pretend she couldn’t read Bria’s thoughts and continued talking about other topics.
After hanging up the call, Amelie rubbed her brows guiltily. She couldn’t help but wonder why Leo had turned out like this.
As she was thinking about it, Julia’s call came.
“Do you want anything?” Amelie asked, a smile already lingering on her lips.
“Yes,” Julia replied. “I was so busy in the last two days that I forgot about your bridesmaid gown. You can go and pick out something tomorrow. Remember to pick the prettiest one, and don’t be afraid of stealing the spotlight.”
Julia intended to use her wedding to create opportunities for Amelie. Amelie could sense that and quickly refused. “I’m not suited to be a bridesmaid. Choose someone else.”
She was divorced and might bring bad luck if she was Julia’s bridesmaid.
“There are plenty of girls in the office. If you can’t spare the time, I can help you pick several who are currently in love to accompany you during the wedding happily.”
They might be a media company that brought influencers fame, but they had no limitations on their employees’ relationships. All relationships were accepted as long as they were healthy.
Amelie’s words also told Julia the reason she couldn’t be Julia’s bridesmaid, to which Julia snorted. “I don’t have such stupid considerations, nor do I want a whole gaggle of bridesmaids. I want only you to be my bridesmaid since you are my best friend. Don’t you dare drop the ball on this!”
Had it been something else, Amelie couldn’t deny her responsibility. However, she was insistent on this.
