When I Was a Wallflower (Leo and Amelie) novel Chapter 145

Chapter 145

“L-Leo?”

Hesitantly, she turned to Leo with trembling lips. Wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, the man standing in front of her fashioned a short buzz cut and had a rather stumpy physique.

His face was rounded, coupled with a pair of crafty eyes. On both sides of his lips was some facial hair, and he looked a little like a successful person.

While others didn’t know who he was, Elyse knew him very well.

But the more she knew, the more terrified she was. Her ears rumbled, and she was so weak that she lost the strength to stand upright.

Her legs turned wobbly. She wasn’t sure how much Leo had found out. Hence, she could only try to deduce from his facial expression.

Leo had awakened from his drunken stupor from earlier, and his handsome face was void of all emotions. His eyes were deep like an ocean, and his lips were pursed into a line. He did not urge her for clarification.

However, a thick cloud of cold air shrouded him, and it engulfed her silently, taking her breath away.

Her fingers tightened and loosened repeatedly, and she gritted her teeth as she decided to bluff her way through. No matter how much he found out, it will be okay as long as I don’t admit to anything!

So, she put up a confused and pathetic stance. “Who’s this gentleman? Why did you bring him to my place so late at night?”

As an actor, she could easily put her acting skills to use even at a time like this effortlessly masking the nervousness she was feeling a second ago with a sweet smile.

On the other hand, Leo didn’t immediately expose anything and merely studied her face

The beautiful face before his eyes was the same as it had always been, but the owner of this face was so strange to him that he could no longer recognize her anymore.

Even though Elyse used to act irresponsibly in the past, she would at least speak honestly, unlike now where she was still trying to play dumb when the person was already at her door.

Overwhelmed with exhaustion, he stopped beating about the bush with her. “This is Elliot, the one who was interviewed. Are you sure you don’t know him?”

Solemn and icy, his eyes were so dark that she couldn’t read anything in them, but the flash of sharp light he emitted seemed to indicate him having read her mind a long time ago. He had seen her clearly for who she

was!

That put an end to Elyse’s pretense. She shuddered and almost couldn’t hold her own weight.

Leo’s gaze was indifferent. Despite knowing that Elyse would be completely exposed if “Elliot” opened his mouth he didn’t ask him to do so because he wanted her to admit it herself that she was the one who nlanned

Without a doubt, Elyse could also tell what was on his mind.

She was the one who found both “Elliot” and the person who wrote the interview. When she was doing a bad deed, she didn’t feel too much about it, but when her deeds were exposed, the embarrassment was more than she could put into words, not to mention that she had to admit it personally, which was not far off from public humiliation!
