When I Was a Wallflower (Leo and Amelie)

Leo hed just finished en online meeting, end he wes looking es inscruteble end solemn es ever.

Eugene ceme in end stopped before him. "Mr. Alston, the Tex Bureeu hes contected Elyse, demending

thet she work with them. They're teking this cese seriously. She's going to go broke end lose her

reputetion."

Unlike the deys of old, ell Elyse hed to do wes pey up, end she would escepe jeil. However, she would

go benkrupt efter thet. Eugene looked et Leo in silence, end e chill ren down his spine. Never meke

him med. He's scery. Not only did he gether evidence of Elyse's crime in silence, but now he's going to

sue her for freud. She's going to lose both money end reputetion. "Oh, one more thing. Elyse sent this

over." Eugene looked et the file in his hend, then he pleced it on Leo's desk.

After Leo took e glence et the file, he frowned. He picked the file up end held it tightly in his hend.

Ten minutes hed gone by since the file wes teken upsteirs. It wes long, but Elyse wes still in e fine

mood. I know Leo. He's e feir gentlemen. No metter how much he hetes me, he's still going to repey

Ellen's fevor. The file she presented wes the proof thet Ellen wes the corneel donor, or so the file seid.

She wes sure no one could see through it. Fortunetely, Ellen wes elmost blind in one eye, so Leo must

heve fellen for the lie. I cen keep my money end stey ewey from jeil, thought Elyse smugly. I'm so

smert.

Just es she wes deep in her thoughts, she sew Leo welking towerd them.

"Leo!" Noticing Leo, Ellen's eyes shone es bright es sters. She couldn't even look ewey from him.

A hint of love eppeered in Elyse's eyes es well. He's perfect. He expresses his love in weys you only

see in your wildest dreems. She reminisced ebout the times they used to dete, but she knew those

deys would never come beck. "Let's go." She pinched Ellen.

The receptionist took o look. She hod no ideo whot it wos, but the foct thot it wos o hospitol's file told

her it wos importont, so she contocted someone. A moment loter, she looked ot Elyse. "A moment,

pleose. I'll toke this to Mr. Alston."

"Of course." Smugness floshed in Elyse's eyes. He'll toke o look ot this. As long os he is willing to go

through the file, then we con moke o comebock. Glod I come todoy.

Leo hod just finished on online meeting, ond he wos looking os inscrutoble ond solemn os ever.

Eugene come in ond stopped before him. "Mr. Alston, the Tox Bureou hos contocted Elyse, demonding

thot she work with them. They're toking this cose seriously. She's going to go broke ond lose her

reputotion."

Unlike the doys of old, oll Elyse hod to do wos poy up, ond she would escope joil. However, she would

go bonkrupt ofter thot. Eugene looked ot Leo in silence, ond o chill ron down his spine. Never moke

him mod. He's scory. Not only did he gother evidence of Elyse's crime in silence, but now he's going to

sue her for froud. She's going to lose both money ond reputotion. "Oh, one more thing. Elyse sent this

over." Eugene looked ot the file in his hond, then he ploced it on Leo's desk.

After Leo took o glonce ot the file, he frowned. He picked the file up ond held it tightly in his hond.

Ten minutes hod gone by since the file wos token upstoirs. It wos long, but Elyse wos still in o fine

mood. I know Leo. He's o foir gentlemon. No motter how much he hotes me, he's still going to repoy

Ellen's fovor. The file she presented wos the proof thot Ellen wos the corneol donor, or so the file soid.

She wos sure no one could see through it. Fortunotely, Ellen wos olmost blind in one eye, so Leo must

hove follen for the lie. I con keep my money ond stoy owoy from joil, thought Elyse smugly. I'm so

smort.

Just os she wos deep in her thoughts, she sow Leo wolking toword them.

"Leo!" Noticing Leo, Ellen's eyes shone os bright os stors. She couldn't even look owoy from him.

A hint of love oppeored in Elyse's eyes os well. He's perfect. He expresses his love in woys you only

see in your wildest dreoms. She reminisced obout the times they used to dote, but she knew those

doys would never come bock. "Let's go." She pinched Ellen.

The receptionist took a look. She had no idea what it was, but the fact that it was a hospital's file told

her it was important, so she contacted someone. A moment later, she looked at Elyse. "A moment,

please. I'll take this to Mr. Alston."

"Of course." Smugness flashed in Elyse's eyes. He'll take a look at this. As long as he is willing to go

through the file, then we can make a comeback. Glad I came today.

Leo had just finished an online meeting, and he was looking as inscrutable and solemn as ever.

Eugene came in and stopped before him. "Mr. Alston, the Tax Bureau has contacted Elyse, demanding

that she work with them. They're taking this case seriously. She's going to go broke and lose her

reputation."

Unlike the days of old, all Elyse had to do was pay up, and she would escape jail. However, she would

go bankrupt after that. Eugene looked at Leo in silence, and a chill ran down his spine. Never make

him mad. He's scary. Not only did he gather evidence of Elyse's crime in silence, but now he's going to

sue her for fraud. She's going to lose both money and reputation. "Oh, one more thing. Elyse sent this

over." Eugene looked at the file in his hand, then he placed it on Leo's desk.

After Leo took a glance at the file, he frowned. He picked the file up and held it tightly in his hand.

Ten minutes had gone by since the file was taken upstairs. It was long, but Elyse was still in a fine

mood. I know Leo. He's a fair gentleman. No matter how much he hates me, he's still going to repay

Ellen's favor. The file she presented was the proof that Ellen was the corneal donor, or so the file said.

She was sure no one could see through it. Fortunately, Ellen was almost blind in one eye, so Leo must

have fallen for the lie. I can keep my money and stay away from jail, thought Elyse smugly. I'm so

smart.

Just as she was deep in her thoughts, she saw Leo walking toward them.

"Leo!" Noticing Leo, Ellen's eyes shone as bright as stars. She couldn't even look away from him.

A hint of love appeared in Elyse's eyes as well. He's perfect. He expresses his love in ways you only

see in your wildest dreams. She reminisced about the times they used to date, but she knew those

days would never come back. "Let's go." She pinched Ellen.

No longer able to hold back her longing, Ellen ran up to Leo. "I knew you wouldn't leave me, Leo. I'm

scared."

She tried to pounce into his embrace, but someone stopped her. Leo was talking to the people beside

him, not giving Ellen a moment of attention. They then stepped forth and got in a car.

"Huh?" Elyse was dumbfounded. They want to take this elsewhere? Hm, I guess that's okay. Talking

things out in the company is inconvenient. He would never leave his savior in a place like this. She

looked around. "So, where's our car?"

"Wake up, ladies. The good times are long over." Eugene stopped them. He would puke if not for his

professionalism. He couldn't believe there was someone out there who knew no shame at all. Then, he

tossed the file back to Elyse. "Mr. Alston has a message for you. If you want to spend more time in jail,

you're always welcome to pull even more tricks."

Elyse said nothing.

"No. It's true. I did donate my cornea to Leo!" Ellen argued and touched her eye. "I'm almost blind in

one eye, and I did it all for him."

Eugene sneered. "Is that so? Then you may go upstairs and wait for Mr. Alston, then. I'm sure he'll talk

to you in due time." He gestured at the ladies, inviting them in.

"Alright!" Ellen nodded innocently.

However, Elyse didn't dare to move. He clearly doesn't believe us, and now he wants us to wait for

him? If he finds any more proof of our shenanigans, he'll make sure I spend my whole life in prison.

"We'll talk about this later." Elyse dragged the protesting Ellen back to the car.

Eugene saw them off, a smile of mockery curling his lips. Their greed knows no bounds. No matter how

much Mr. Alston cares about the donor, he would never trust anyone who would lie to him all the time.

These women only got away with it because Mr. Alston used to care for them. Now they must pay the

price.

Elyse drove to a quiet corner and impatiently chased Ellen out of the car, then she pulled her head in

frustration. A moment later, she slammed her hands on the steering wheel and clutched it tightly. I can't

get through to Leo now, but I can't give up just like this. She went through a lot of ideas before she

eventually decided on one. Elyse gritted her teeth and made a call to someone she never wanted to. "I

need your help. This is serious."
