When I Was A Wallflower

Chapter 313 Melissa Is Hopeless
Before Amelie had figured out anything, Julia called her.
“Something happened.”
Under Julia’s guidance, Amelie opened the webpage and saw the news about her. The news wrote, ‘Foxy and the Heir of Alston
Family, Leo Alston, Seen Entering the Same Hotel Room. They Seemed to Have Fallen in Love With Each Other After the
Show.’ Next, there were two pictures of them entering the room. A time was written on it, showing when they had entered.
Then, the content was filled with assumptions about their relationship and what they were doing there.
“No one has ever dared to post nonsense about the Alston Family. This must be someone’s doing. Don’t tell me that Leo is the
one behind this?” On the other end of the phone, Julia was rattling.
Hearing her words, Amelie pursed her lips and looked at the picture with a darkened gaze. As her fingertips touched the picture,
she said, “He won’t do such a thing. It must be Melissa who did this.” Although Leo had told her he would court her, with his
personality, he would never do such a thing.
“Melissa? Is she crazy?” Julia was baffled.
Then, Amelie gave her a brief talk about how Melissa didn’t know her true identity and wanted to ship her with Leo.
After hearing what Amelie had said, Julia couldn’t help but curse. “F*ck! That damn b*tch! I bet she wanted you to be with Leo
because of your fans. Who does she think she is? She threw you aside when you were nothing. Now, she wants to take
advantage of you when you are famous. Does she think she is God? What makes her think everyone should listen to her?” Julia
scolded angrily, throwing profanities at Melissa.
Although Amelie didn’t want to get her suspicious of Melissa, she loathed Melissa’s doings.
“F*ck!” Just as she was in thought, Julia cursed again. At that moment, Amelie snapped back to her senses and heard what Julia
had said. “It really is her! Not only did she ask the media to publish such news, she even told them that she welcomed you into
the Alston Family. S-She is hopeless!”
Hearing her words, Amelie lowered her head and saw a video that was just posted.

In the video, Melissa stood before the Alston Residence while the reporters surrounded her. She wore seasonal Chanel clothing
and was holding a small purse. The press was throwing all kinds of questions at her while she gave a fake smile to the camera.
“I am a fan of Foxy. If my son can be with her, I will wish them nothing but happiness.”
When Amelie and Julia heard her words, they felt nauseous and almost threw up what they just ate. Amelie couldn’t bear to
watch the whole video and closed it immediately.
“Elie, that old hag is going overboard. I’m going to go to the Alston Residence now and give her a scolding!” Julia snapped.
“If you were to go there and find fault with her, Leo would hunt you down. If that happens, not even I can help you to get out of
this mess,” Amelie explained in a low voice. As one of the main characters in this matter, she was calmer than Julia, who was a
bystander.
“I don’t need you to save me!” Julia couldn’t withstand how hideous Melissa was. She felt that Melissa was the root of all misery.
Wanting her death, Julia would do anything, even if it cost her life.
Amelie knew Julia was doing this for her sake, so she was touched by her actions. However, she still said to her, “I’m not trying
to save you, but myself. Now that things have reached this point, there won’t be a big difference if you find Melissa.”
“What else is there to do? I bet your fans are angry. Even if they don’t send death threats to her, they would want an explanation
from her!”
If Melissa were willing to explain to the others, she wouldn’t have set this up.
Thinking about it, Amelie smiled somewhat smugly. “We don’t need her to clarify things. I can do it myself.”
“Clarify it yourself? What are you going to tell them?”
“The truth.”
After hearing her word, Julia was confused. She knew that Amelie was smart and could think of a way to solve this problem.
However, on second thought, she was worried that it would backfire. At that moment, with how shameless Melissa was, Amelie
would be dragged into the Alston Family’s affair. No matter what, she couldn’t let her best friend get into this mess ever again.
Many thoughts ran through Julia’s mind. At this moment, she heard Amelie’s voice on the phone. “Don’t worry. I will fix this.”
...

In the meantime, in the meeting room. The meeting that started in the morning was still ongoing. Everyone was starving, but no
one dared to say anything. Instead, they sat straight and kept their breaths light.
At the main seat, Leo had a serious expression as his hands rested against the armrest. “Is this the best you guys can think of a
solution?” His long and slender fingers twitched as he spoke. His voice was as cold as ice.
Usually, employees were afraid of him. When he started to be stern, his presence was even more intimidating.
After he had spoken, everyone hung their heads low and wished that they would disappear on the spot.
Looking at the crowd, Leo felt his head throbbing. He threw a file on the table and announced, “This is the newest arrangement.
Since none of you can think of a solution, just do as I say!” Then, he walked out of the room.
Behind him, a bunch of senior managers, who were a decade older than him, breathed a sigh of relief.
As Eugene trailed behind Leo, he looked at him with admiration. “After you have done this, those managers who only knew how
to make things difficult for us will now behave.”
Eugene admired Leo. After all, not only Leo had a huge responsibility weighed on him as he took over Genesis Tower, he still
had to keep the managers at bay. Not everyone could do that.
When Leo heard his words, he huffed and declared, “The company will soon be at a disadvantage if there are no newcomers. It’s
best if their heirs would soon replace them!”
Hearing his words, Leo was speechless and thought, As expected from him. I only thought about how he could subdue the
senior managers. However, Leo has never thought about subduing them. Instead, he wanted to replace them! Not many people
can do such a thing.
“Yes! I’ll arrange it right away,” Eugene replied without hesitation.
At this moment, the manager of the Communication Department approached them with a stiff look. When she saw Eugene and
Leo standing together, she looked at Eugene, as if asking for help.
Leo was the first to see her and asked, “What’s wrong?”
At that moment, the manager had no choice but to step in front of him. “This morning, news about you and Foxy spread around
town. Mrs. Alston told us not to worry about it. Foxy had just responded to this matter,” she reported carefully.

“What news?” demanded Leo as he rubbed his temples.
After having to work hours with such high intensity, he was exhausted.
