Chapter 268
Amelie walked downstairs. With two beeps, the door of her car was unlocked. Just as she was about to reach for the door handle, a figure in white blocked her path. Frowning, she looked up. and under the dim lighting of the underground parking lot. she saw a well-maintained face that earned a sense of incredible haughtiness. Melissa?
Caution quickly appeared on Amelie's face but wras hidden beneath her mask.
"Miss Foxy." Melissa addressed her immediately. Miss?
Amelie had heard that Melissa had been looking for her. but she didn't expect Melissa to show up here. Amelie looked her up and down. She noticed that Melissa was all smiles, without the usual snooty and arrogant attitude. Upon seeing Amelie. Melissa even slightly bowed, and her gaze looked much more kind.
Amelie did not respond but merely stood there with cold eyes. Melissa did not mind her aloofness either. Lifting the platinum bag around her arm slightly, she said, "Miss Foxy. I'm your most loyal fan. I've been wratching your show' recently. Your live broadcast is so interesting. It's funny and entertaining, yet not too overboard. No wonder so many people like it."
Melissa watches my live broadcast? That's unexpected. Amelie couldn't help but be surprised. Imagine wrhat her reaction w7ould be if she finds out that her favorite internet celebrity is her ex-daughter-in-law wdiom she despises.
Amelie's face was covered by the mask, and Melissa couldn't see Amelie's expression at all, nor did she know7 Amelie's true identity. Amelie ignored her, but that did not Melissa make aw’kward and she continued to babble, "I just came from the TV station and happened to see you two talking. I can tell you're very close. Oh, I forgot to introduce that my son's name is Leo. Leo Alston from the Genesis Company."
When Melissa mentioned Leo. her face lit up with a special glow; She intentionally added the words "Genesis Company." Although her son Leo didn't care much about her, liis reputation was well-known. Just mentioning his name drew countless envious looks. Melissa naturally loved to be in the limelight and particularly enjoyed being looked up to.
"My son is such a serious person, isn't he? Oh well, wrhat can I do? He's in charge of such a big company all by himself at such a young age. If he's not strict, how7 can he control people?" Melissa couldn't help but go on and on. "But with you by his side, liis character will definitely change for the better. Heh. you two should hang out more often. Come to the Alston Residence. It's tiring to go so far out and it's not very private either."
Feeling speechless, Amelie stared at the grinning Melissa and gradually realized something. Does she think I'm dating Leo? Where did this logic come from?
Melissa was originally uncertain about Leo's feelings for Foxy. After all, she had been unable to find Foxy for so long, so she decided to tail Leo. She didn't expect to find Foxy so easily just by doing that. Melissa had no idea that Leo hadn't seen Foxy in a long time. She thought that since she succeeded in finding Foxy after tailing Leo just once, they must be together every day. If they are together every day. then it is clear how close their relationship is. Now’ that Melissa had confirmed their relationship, she was even more eager to impress Foxy.
She even wrent up to Amelie and patted her on the shoulder, saying, "Come to Alston Residence more often. I will prepare delicious food for you. We have plenty of rooms, so even if you want to stay overnight, it's no problem." Melissa was so desperate to please Amelie that she forgot all about decency and just w’anted them to get together quickly and sleep together. She had been politely addressing Foxy as "Miss Foxy" just now; and now7 she even offered to cook for Foxy.
"Leo is a reserved person and may not know7 how to take the initiative. But I'm sure he w’on't change liis mind since he's interested in you. You gotta take the lead sometimes," Melissa said, hinting at wrhat she wanted. She almost asked Amelie to jump Leo right then and there.
Leo turned his head and saw7 Melissa wdio was all dressed up. He frowned and asked. "Why are you suddenly asking about this?"
Melissa was about to speak when Leo interrupted first and said. "Don't piy into my affairs, please."
With that, he got into the car and drove aw7ay decisively. Melissa was speechless. She stood outside, watching her own son leave. She was so angry she almost stomped her feet in anger. Is he still angry at me because of what happened 10 years ago? Does he have to be upset for so long?
In Melissa's view; w’hen Leo had eye problems back then, she provided for him and didn't abandon him. This meant that she had already fulfilled her greatest duty. Leo was being unreasonable and ungrateful!
After venting her anger, Melissa thought of the matter between Foxy and Leo again. They clearly see each other every day, but wrhy did they both seem umvilling to talk about it? Did they quarrel?
Melissa propped her chin and thought for a good while. Suddenly, she remembered that Leo's face didn't look good back at the fire exit. She was some distance aw7ay and couldn't hear wdiat they were talking about, but now7 she felt more and more convinced that her guess was correct.
It's just a quarrel between a man and a woman fight; no big deal. Everything will be fine if I just find something to smooth things over. She came up with a plan right aw7ay.
