When I Was a Wallflower (Leo and Amelie) novel Chapter 60

Chapter 60

“Amelie Dillon?”

Laura was taken aback by what she saw for a moment, thinking she was seeing things, for she had never seen Amelie this beautiful before.

Not only had Amelie’s appearance changed, even her temperament was different too.

The Amelie she knew always kept her head low, acted warily, deadpanned, was pasty-skinned, and lifeless like a living spirit trapped in a mansion. But now, she looked brilliant and gorgeous. Her every smile and gaze was alluring, and her supple skin glowed radiantly, shining from head to toe.

The new Amelie would be an eye-catching presence even if she stood amongst a group of beauties.

While Laura was sizing Amelie up, Amelie and Julia caught sight of her as well.

Knowing she was Leo’s assistant and Elyse’s best friend, Julia reacted unpleasantly toward her.

Though she said nothing, frost exuded from her as she passed Laura with aversion written all over her face.

Laura, on the other hand, couldn’t care less about Julia and locked her gaze on Amelie as she questioned arrogantly, “What are you doing here?”

“Who do you think you are, and why should we tell you?” Julia retorted exasperatedly.

She loathed Leo right then, so she definitely wouldn’t smile at anyone who had to do with him.

Meanwhile, Laura had been working for Leo for a long time, and others would flatter her as well, so she naturally became lofty over time.

Right then, she turned somewhat grim after hearing Julia’s words, but she didn’t get upset and instead smirked. “Amelie, you and Mr. Alston have already divorced, so can you stop doing such disgusting acts? What do you think you can achieve by stalking him today when he has never even looked you in the eye during the four years you were married to him?”

“Me? Stalking him?” Amelie reiterated with a smirk while looking at Laura.

So, that means Leo’s here too?

Laura never liked Amelie in the past to begin with, so she naturally wouldn’t give a damn about the woman now. “If I were you, I’d find a good school to improve my temperament and skills after getting divorced. Appearance is only something to win a man’s heart, but charm will make a man yours forever. If you don’t fix whatever’s inside, it’ll still be a pile of junk no matter how closely you imitate others!”

With that, she even sized up Amelie’s outfit, condemning Amelie to forget about ever trying to use beauty to regain Leo’s heart, even insinuating that she was imitating Elyse.

Amelie, however, wasn’t the least bit angry but thought this woman was amusing instead, for she was a social media influencer with over tens of millions of fans. She would not only sing and dance on her live stream but also give tips on outfit styling.

If anyone was imitating, it would probably be Elyse with her outfits and image.

That said, Amelie wouldn’t burst Laura’s little bubble, for she had no need to explain to a measly character like

her.

However, Julia thought otherwise. Amelie could disregard Laura because of contempt, but she wouldn’t allow just anyone to bully her friend.

Would she still be Julia White if she didn’t retort at Laura for speaking so harshly? At that, she sneered. “What wise words, Miss Harris I feel like I’ve been enlightened!”

Laura was rendered stupefied, for she didn’t think Julia would praise her in front of her best friend.

But lo and behold, Julia’s next words made her change her expression like the flick of a switch. “Since you’re so wise, why don’t you use it on yourself? People like you who can’t read social cues or tell gems from stones should take a lesson or two. No, wait-learning wouldn’t get you far anymore. You need a factory reset!”

“You!” Laura was livid with rage, having never been ridiculed like this before. Many would flatter her nowadays. because of her connection to Leo.
