When I Was a Wallflower (Leo and Amelie) novel Chapter 179

Chapter 179

The face that entered her vision was a clear, sculptured face. The man carried the charm and. grandeur of a prince as though he had strolled right out of a fairytale.

“Blake?” Amelie called out his name, but when she saw him looking at her with a tender look in his eyes, she pursed her lips softly.

Still, she was especially excited to see him. “What are you doing here?”

Blake had gone for training recently, and it had been a while since the last time they met..

When he heard her question, a longing look flashed past his angelic, smooth face, but he quickly concealed it with a gentle smile. “I’m here to visit you.”

As he was born with an angelic face, the smile on his face was akin to a polished pearl that made him even more dazzling.

Amelie nodded. “Bria has been missing you a lot recently, always telling me that she misses you. out of the blue.”

His smile wavered as he studied her. Is Bria the only one who misses me? He wanted to ask but was afraid to startle her. So, he merely continued to smile silently.

At this time, Brianna had already gone to bed, and Steven was about to fall asleep, too. Naturally, it wasn’t appropriate to visit her now.

He lowered his head and stared at the woman who only reached the height of his nose, and the edges of his lip turned tender as he said gently, “I heard from Julia that you’re working on a new project and didn’t take any funds from Starlight Media. So, that’s as good as starting from scratch, right?”

At the mention of her new project, her eyes shone brightly with fiery ambition. “Yes,” she said and briefly told him about her own ideas.

As he stood in front of her, her image was reflected in his eyes as a lively, happy pixie, and his heart melted secretly at such an energetic woman whom he found adorable and delightful.

In fact, he wanted to take her under his wing so she wouldn’t have to suffer from any difficulties.

When he realized that his thoughts had wandered, he discretely bit his nails into the tips of his fingers as he asked in concern. “Is it tiring?”

“No.” Her eyes were shining like stars. “It doesn’t make me tired at all to do something which I enjoy.”

He came here because he saw her reputation on the Internet and became concerned, but when

she was right before him, happy and well, he wasn’t sure if he should be happy or disappointed.

In his heart, he yearned for this woman to need him and rely on him. However, he also didn’t want her to be upset.

Blake knew that he might have to keep this affection for her locked in his heart for the rest of his

life.

He hung his head in resignation and whipped out a card after a while. “I know that you’re good at business, and I would like to make some extra money. May I join you as a shareholder?” he asked, without looking at her because he was worried that she would see through his true intentions.

Even though he knew that she was a capable woman and had it all handled, he still wanted to help her. He still wanted to silently share and reduce her burdens but was afraid that she wouldn’t accept his help. Hence, he proposed his intention of becoming a shareholder instead.

Of course, Amelie knew what he had in mind, but she didn’t say anything about it and merely smiled. “I still have the money from you. What amount of money would you like to invest? I’ll just

the money from there.”

“That amount is what I owed to you.” When she brought up the past again, his face fell, looking discouraged. “Back then, you spent money and time on me. Not to mention the amount, even a billion isn’t enough to pay you back.”

Unfortunately, before she could say anything to dissuade him of that notion, he had hastily stuffed the card into her hands forcefully and said, “You know that I can’t be figure-skating all my life, and I’ll be retired in a few more years. I don’t want to be without any security at that time. So, from now onward, I’ll pass you all the money I earn, and you’ll manage it for me!”

He’s betting all of his riches on me, she realized, feeling rather stressed.

Nevertheless, he had a point; figure skating was a career he could pursue as long as he was young, and nobody knew how long live commerce could sustain him.

So, his decision to save for a rainy day and make more investments when he could had been honestly the correct path to take.

“Okay, I’ll take you in as a shareholder. She decided to keep his card. “When I get home later, I’ll allocate you the shares according to the amount of money.”
