Chapter 279 Wherever Leo Goes, I’ll Be With Him
"Why don't we stick to the previous arrangement? I suppose we're all used to it now."
Then, Jodie looked at her brother. "What do you say. Leo?"
Leo stopped in his tracks and fell silent.
Meanwhile, Amelie glanced at Jodie with surprise, for she couldn't believe that the woman still wanted
to be on the same team as her.
When Ellen heard that, she stuck close to Leo and said. "Wherever Leo goes, I'll be with him."
Jodie was annoyed by Ellen. Wlien she heard what the woman said, she glowered at her.
However. Ellen's attention was all on Leo, so she didn't notice it at all.
On the other hand, Amelie was reluctant, for she did not want to watch Leo and Ellen showing their
affection for each other again, nor was she willing to face the grumpy Jodie all the time.
She patted her lips, trying to tell them that she wanted to be on the other team. All of a sudden. Leo
approached the director and took their name tags.
When the other team saw that he had chosen his team members, they took the remaining name tags.
In the end. their members were the same as in the previous round.
Under such circumstances, it would make Amelie seem difficult if she wanted to go to the other team,
and she might be regarded as making things hard for others.
Since she only wanted to keep a low profile in this show, she decided to keep her mouth shut.
Just then, Jennifer came over with a male participant as she said, "I'm sorry, but we have to quit the
show."
Then, they exchanged glances and smiled.
The rules stated that if any two of them became a couple, they had to leave the show.
All of them instantly realized what was going on, so they offered their blessings to the couple.
Jennifer bashfully accepted their blessings and thanked them before leaving with her partner.
"In that case. Team A is lacking two people now," Fabian said.
Previously, to make up for the deficiency, even the hosts had to join Team A. Now that two people were
gone, coupled with the fact the hosts had resumed their roles, they needed two more people to join
Team A so that the people on both sides would be equal.
"Why don't I go to Team A?" Upon finishing his words. Fabian strode toward Team A and stood beside
Fiona.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Foxy, why don't you come over and join my team as well?" Fiona ignored Fabian's fervent gaze and
walked over to take Amelie's aim.
Amelie was eager to stay away from the Alston siblings, so she nodded immediately.
"Blakey, why don't we exchange places?" Silas, who had been keeping a low profile in Team A, winked
at Blake.
In actuality, they were good friends in private.
Before Silas joined showbiz, he was also a figure skating athlete. Blake had helped him a lot in the
past.
Everyone could tell that Blake was fond of Amelie. As such, Silas decided to exchange places with
Blake.
"Thanks." Without turning him down. Blake shuffled toward him and switched places.
As his bangs brushed above his beautiful eyes, he flashed an amiable smile at him. Silas clenched the
other man's shoulder and said, "You can do it!"
Then, he took a look at Amelie, who stood beside Fiona. Blake put on a gentle and bashfill smile.
However, when he looked down, he appeared downcast.
Without explaining anything, he stood beside Amelie calmly.
"They can't do this to me!" Wlien Jodie saw Blake heading to the other team, she furiously stomped her
foot on the ground.
She then turned to look at her brother and called out, "Leo..."
Nonetheless, Leo remained unmoving as his expression was as solemn as usual.
Jodie wanted to join the other team as well, but there wasn't any place for her. Left with no choice, she
snorted and entered the bus with reddened eyes.
"Let's go, Leo," Ellen said in a childish voice that didn't match her age as she kept swaying Leo's aim.
Without a word. Leo turned around and shuffled toward the bus. The moment he brushed past Amelie,
he stopped in his tracks for two seconds before he started moving again.
The ladies only thought that he was waiting for Ellen, so they shot her envious glances. Giada was
especially green with envy.
Ellen chuckled in response. Although she was a little disturbed, she still noticed how Leo pressed his
lips together while the veins on his forehead bobbed when he looked at Amelie.
That prompted her to take a look at Amelie with caution.
She didn't recognize Amelie since the latter was wearing a mask. Still, she exerted more force with her
hand as she draped her aim around Leo's.
When they entered the bus, they realized that they couldn't choose the seats they wanted. Their names
had been written on the seats, so they had to sit down accordingly.
It wasn't clear if it was a coincidence or if the director had done so intentionally, for Amelie's seat was
just beside Leo's.
The seats with their names gave Amelie a headache. She stopped in her tracks and waited for Leo to
complain to the director.
As though not seeing Amelie's expression, Leo pushed Ellen's hand away and brushed past Amelie
before taking a seat.
At that, Amelie was stunned.
"Leo..." Ellen stood in front of him and muttered under her breath with a pitiable gaze.
Even an outsider like Amelie felt sorry for her.
When did Ellen learn to be so coquettish and squeamish?
An unfazed Leo ordered coldly, "Go to your seat."
Ellen was evidently not happy with the arrangement. She waited for a moment and realized that Leo
didn't seem like he was going to give in. Worried that he would get mad. she bit her lip and walked
toward the back of the bus.
After sitting down, she batted her teaiy eyes as though she had just suffered the worst grievance in the
world.
Amelie glanced at her and felt as if she was the one oppressing her.
The female host walked over and said passionately. "Miss Foxy, please have a seat. The bus will set
off soon."
Since the female host didn't have to be a participant this time, her expression was mild and joyful.
Certainly. Amelie didn't want to have a seat, but her refusal to do so would make it impossible for the
bus driver to get going.
Forget it. Leo doesn't mind sitting with me, his ex-wife. Why am I being dramatic here?
At the thought of this, she set her mind at ease and sat down beside him.
Leo wasn't a talkative person. Amelie didn't have anything to say to him either, so she fished out her
phone and dealt with the learning platform's affairs.
The platform's development was wonderful. They had launched several economics and business
courses, and they were very popular with over a million subscribers.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOn the other hand, over 300,000 e-books had been uploaded to her online bookstore. Those were all
useful and highly sought- after books.
Many people had subscribed to the service as well.
Amelie went through the statistics and saw some comments saying that some books were too difficult
to understand. Several people also said that they didn't have sufficient time to read those books. An
idea instantly formed in her mind.
She was a pragmatic person who loved putting ideas into action immediately.
As such, she contacted the platform's operations manager at once and started an intensive discussion
with him via text.
When the discussion ended, the bus stopped as well.
Amelie stretched her back while feeling pleased with what she had achieved. When she looked up, she
met Leo's eyes.
He pressed his lips together. Unlike how stem he usually appeared, he looked inquisitively at the
woman.
There also seemed to be something deeper behind his gaze.
Just as Amelie wanted to find out what it was, she heard someone saying sweetly. "Leo!"
Ellen sprinted toward them from behind and crashed into Leo's aims, looking as though she had been
forced to be separated from her man. It seemed that she was about to break into tears.
Does she think she's acting in some sort of tragic drama?
Amelie found the woman over the top.
Leo didn't push Ellen away, nor did he respond to her. He only stared fixedly at Amelie, who was
rendered speechless by his behavior.
Why is he looking at me like that? Does he think that I'm a third wheel or something while she puts up a
pitiful act?
At any rate, she wasn't interested in watching such a tacky and cheesy act. As such, she turned around
and left the bus.
Behind her, Leo's face fell as his gaze turned cold and distant.
Terrified by the man's indifference. Ellen looked at him meekly and muttered, "Leo."
While ignoring the woman, Leo brushed past her and left the vehicle with a dispassionate expression.
