Chapter 341 I Could Faint Shipping You Two
Leo's eyes were firmly fixed on the man's hand holding the woman's waist.
Even from a distance, Eugene could sense the icy, murderous aura that Leo radiated. Nonetheless, Eugene could not help but shudder upon seeing him in such a state.
"Get me the video!" He heard Leo's stiff order.
Immediately, Eugene fished out the iPad and searched for the video of Amelie and Blake's performance.
The performance was open to the public and broadcast live on their official website, so it didn't take long for Eugene to find the video before handing the iPad to Leo. "Mr. Alston, here it is."
Then, Leo quickly snatched the iPad and frowned.
On the other hand, Eugene stood still, but his gaze was drawn to the screen.
A moving video was more vivid than a plain photo. Moreover, the video was played in an ultra-clear resolution. Despite being shot from far away, one could still see the smile on Amelie's face.
Soon, comments popped up one after another on screen, all of them talking about the duo.
"Woah. Their moves are so neat and graceful."
"Their chemistry is unmatched!"
"They must be a couple, or they wouldn't possibly have such great chemistry."
"From a professional point of view, the woman doesn't look like a professional. The reason she's standing out is due to Blakey's superb skills. Of course, she is also smart enough to use dance moves perfectly."
"Damn! How does an amateur perform like a professional?"
"Huhuhu, I want to be like her! I want to be lifted by Blakey too!"
"Come on, Blakey can only lift someone under 100 pounds."
"I'm 100 pounds!"
"Pfft. Coughs…"
"Are you trying to make Blakey show the audience how he lifts weight?"
"It's scary to even imagine."
"A handsome man like Blakey deserves a woman with a beautiful face and a slender figure. Don't even try to take her place!"
"Blakey seemed really careful when he lifted her up! Even his gaze is so tender. Huhu. I don't want to be lifted by Blakey anymore. I love the two of them so much I'm willing to be their sacrifice!"
"Even if I die, I must die in your hands, Blakey."
Seeing the weird comments, Eugene almost couldn't stifle his laughter. I love the two of them so much I'm willing to be their sacrifice? Nowadays, netizens go to great lengths to ship their favorite couples. Of course, he did not miss the hand that nearly crushed the iPad. If he puts even more strength, the iPad or his hand will break. Calm down, Mr. Alston!
Meanwhile, Leo's full attention was on the two of them, and every time Amelie was lifted, his eyes squinted. Every time Blake glanced at her, Leo's expression would darken!
At that moment, Eugene almost felt like the air surrounding them had turned cold. Even with a coat, it felt like he was being sent into a freezer below 32 Fahrenheit. As time went on, the cold even caused his teeth to chatter.
Strangely, though, Leo didn't burst out of anger despite watching till the end. After the video ended, he handed the iPad back to Eugene.
Seeing that, Eugene's heart thumped anxiously as he couldn't help stealing glances at Leo. Though his expression is still cold, it is only his usual poker face. D-Does he really not care at all? Why does he exude a chilly cold aura earlier if he doesn't care? Even the iPad was nearly crushed by him.
…
"Thank goodness we made it through smoothly."
Amelie was still wearing her performance outfit as she walked backstage with Blake. When she went on the stage earlier, she was so scared that she might make a mistake and affect his scores.
While walking beside her, he slowly looked at her while listening to her talk.
After the strenuous activity, sweat formed on her forehead, her face was flushed, and she was slightly panting. Sparks resembling stars in the night sky filled her eyes, making her alluring and captivating!
"Your performance was excellent," he praised her tenderly, unable to hold back the affection in his eyes.
At that moment, Blake's orbs were also sparkling. Not only was admiration present in his eyes, he even had the urge to be drowned by Amelie.
"Hehe." She was aware of how well she did.
Nevertheless, they had an audience rooting for them, and even after they bowed and thanked the audience for their support, they stood their ground and refused to sit down.
"You two did great!" The president of the organizer, Mr. Lynch, strode over and gave them thumbs up. "The crowd had so much fun and were satisfied with today's performance."
He was glad that Blake and Amelie managed to exceed his expectations.
"May I know if you're interested in a career in figure skating, miss? I can tell you have a strong foundation in dance. If you try figure skating, you will be very popular."
Though competitions were judged based on techniques, performances only required entertainment value.
Since Mr. Lynch had a few figure skating clubs, he was willing to take her as a student.
"I'm sorry, but I'm too busy for that," Amelie politely rejected his offer.
Figure skating was only an unintentional hobby that she picked on. She never thought of relying on it to make a living.
"I have children to take care of."
When Mr. Lynch heard that she was busy, he intended to persuade her, but the light in his eyes dimmed at the mention of children. Then, he couldn't help glancing at Blake. What a pity. Earlier, he almost shipped both of them.
Although there were rumors between Blake and Amelie, she always covered her face ingeniously, preventing anyone from recognizing her.
Mr. Lynch initially intended to persuade her to join his club, then use her as bait to lure Blake over. If he could sign her and Blake together into his club, he would definitely be able to earn a fortune. Now that his plan fell through, one could imagine his disappointment.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Lynch. We have to take a leave now."
Blake knew that Amelie did not enjoy entertaining strangers, so he took the initiative to make a move and accompany her out of the venue.
"Let me take you home." When they were outside, he offered with a smile.
However, she shook her head in response. "No, thanks. I drove here."
"I don't have a car, anyway," he replied.
Amelie was speechless upon hearing Blake's confession.
Since they agreed to be best friends, she wouldn't abandon him. So, she offered him a ride home without hesitation.
After she dropped him off, the sky started to get dark as she drove back to Halport.
When Amelie parked her car in the housing area, she received a call from Julia.
"Excuse me, Amelie Dillon. How could you perform with Blakey on such a huge occasion without telling me? If you had told me, I would have rushed to watch the performance live!" she complained. "I still shipped you two even through the computer screen! I might have fainted if I were at the scene!"
Amelie was rendered speechless by her friend's statement. She was used to her exaggeration as she replied nonchalantly, "I didn't tell you because I didn't want you to pass out, okay?"
"Ugh! I hate you!"
Julia pretended to be angry before asking, "Are you both really platonic friends? The gazes you two exchanged during the performance looked like you could win the best couple award. How about you make my ship come true and accept Blakey's feelings for you?"
She knew Julia loved joking, so Amelie countered, "Sure. When you pass out, I'll get a monkey to do CPR on you."
"Excuse me?!"
The two bantered with each other until Amelie entered the elevator that arrived on her floor.
She was about to enter the elevator when she felt a presence behind her. Caught off guard, she was pushed into the elevator. Before she could regain her senses, someone turned her around and pinned her against the wall.
The sudden occurrence made her let out a shriek. However, as soon as she opened her mouth, a large palm covered her lips! Amelie couldn't speak.
For a moment, she thought she had encountered a pervert. So, she struggled with all her might and threw punches at the perpetrator, but he could lock both her arms and drive her into a corner of the elevator.
Slowly, she came to a realization after smelling the familiar scent of the man. Under the warm yellow light, she saw the man's sharp features and stern expression.
