When I Was a Wallflower (Leo and Amelie) novel Chapter 231

The man had short hair and a square face.

With his thick lips tightly pursed, he had a very deep gaze that seemed to harbor infinite emotions.

Matthew came to sign the contract after receiving the phone call. The only reason he came to Julia’s office was because of this.

After she mentioned that Amelie and she were friends, Matthew did not even think about how Amelie managed to become friends with the head of Starlight Media and only wanted Julia to hook him up with Amelie.

The more awkward thing was what he said to Amelie just now.

Although he did not mean to show off, now that he had heard their conversation, it all seemed like a big joke.

Did I say that I wanted to marry the wife of Starlight Media’s boss? I even stated that I would support her financially, huh? My job is given to me by her. Why would I say such a thing?!

Matthew nearly slapped himself out of embarrassment.

You shameless embarrassment!

“Mr. Larkson?”

Just as Matthew was pondering over this, someone called him from behind.

Turning around, he seemed dumbfounded, as he was still stunned about his newfound identity of Amelie.

The person calling him was the law department personnel, who gestured at him. “The contract is ready now.”

He then walked in while the two people inside saw him walking over.

Julia’s eyes glimmered, as Matthew looked at Amelie with a disappointed expression and forced a smile before following the personnel to the smaller meeting room.

Using her eyes, Julia hinted to Amelie that she was leaving to sign the contract.

Amelie then nodded, walking to the balcony that had a coffee machine installed.

Breathing in the outside air and enjoying the natural breeze, she leisurely sipped on the coffee she brewed herself.

Night fell.

In Mercury Bar, an expressionless Leo walked in with Toby accompanying him. Leo’s smile created a stark contrast between the two.

The bar had a nice name, giving it a sense that it would be a quiet and relaxing place to have a few drinks with a live singer adding to the atmosphere.

Yet, they were almost sent stumbling backward by the deafening sound of the music as soon as they opened the door.

“Is this James person right in the head? Talking business in such a noisy place?” Toby tried his best to take in his surroundings while showing a slightly disdained expression.

The dim lights, heavy metal music, less than savory crowd plus the people onstage that were dancing maniacally made it seem more like they had entered the valley of death instead.

The moment Leo opened the door, he also frowned and had the same expression as Toby.

Yet, after a mere two seconds, he regained his calmness. His expression appeared just as stoic as before.

Toby turned around and looked at him only to see Leo taking in his surroundings nonchalantly.

He had to admit that Leo was better than him in this regard. Even in this kind of environment, Leo can still keep his cool and not be swayed. This isn’t easy to accomplish.

Toby knew that he could not do it. It seems like James wants to use this environment to disturb our thoughts and get the upper hand in the negotiation, eh? He’s going to be disappointed then.

He could almost imagine how defeated the big, blonde businessman would look.

In the end, it was the same as what Toby predicted, for Leo maintained his sharp demeanor. Not only did he not lose, but he even managed to turn the tables around and forced the opposition to give a five percent discount.

Although it might not seem much, a five percent discount dealing worth a billion was astounding.

Seeing James sign the contract and leave with a defeated expression made Toby smile.
