When I Was A Wallflower Chapter 355 Leo, Do You Think a Boy or a Girl Is Better?
She recovered within seconds and continued pouring.
“No.No? Amelie studied her carefully.
Julia was already laughing it off.
“See, you keep interrupting me, and it has interrupted the flow of water.Coffee is delicate and finicky; if
you don’t pour water at once, it will become sour.I was about to show you my extraordinary abilities and
treat you to an exquisite cup of coffee, but I’ve failed.”
With her animated expression, she didn’t look like something had happened to her.
“Please do tolerate it even if it’s sour.”
She handed Amelie the cup of coffee.
“You know that I’m unrefined and only would engage in such a delicate habit once in a blue moon.I
don’t have the talent cither, so don’t expect too much.
“Of course not.”
Amelie lowered her head to sip her coffee.
Nothing was added to it, and she couldn’t taste anything besides the intense bitterness.
When she finished her coffee, she remembered her purpose for coming and pressed the documents
she was holding into Julia’s palm.She said seriously, “Jules, I may have founded Starlight Media, but
both of us did the work.You have sacrificed so much, even more than I have.I already asked the lawyer
to draft a transfer agreement of fifty percent of the company shares, so I hope you will accept it.”
“Elie, what are you doing? Didn’t I mention that Starlight Media made me famous? I’ve already gotten
what I want, so I don’t want your shares.”
Amelie pressed her hand to stop her from moving.
“Your contributions aside, we are still best friends who are even closer than blood sisters.You’re getting
married soon, so consider this your dowry or my blessing for you and Samuel.If you see me as family,
you have to accept it!”
Just as she finished speaking, Julia’s tears rolled down her face uncontrollably.
Julia rarely cried, and Amelie was stunned since it had been very long since Julia cried this hard.
“Elie, you are the best since you always look after me.However, it’s okay.There’s no need for this.”
It was a while before Julia continued, “I’ve already broken up with him.”
“Why did you guys break up?”
Julia sobbed for some time before finally taking a tissue to wipe away her tears.

The reminder made Amelie recall the two executives whom she had met in disguise.
In particular, Miss Gage seemed cold and proud whenever she looked at Julia.She had her suspicions
and asked Julia about it, but the other woman might not have told the truth.
“Did their family forbid you from being with him?”
Amelie inquired, her tone more frigid than before.
Julia nodded.
“Miss Gage somehow managed to discover what happened back then, blamed me for it, and claimed I
did not deserve Samuel.It would have been fine if only she shared this sentiment, but Samuel has also
lost interest in our relationship.He went behind my back and went for a matchmaking session: “Did
Miss Gage tell you that?”
Amelie felt Samuel wouldn’t be that sort of person.
The three of them had known each other for many years, and she considered him to be humble,
honest, and sort of a brother figure.
Julia shook her head.
“You know that while I have a short temper, I won’t fall for claims that easily.Miss Gage took me to the
matchmaking ceremony herself.The other girl’s parents seemed satisfied with him and were discussing
their marriage”
“If Samuel didn’t want to be with me, he could’ve just said so, but secretly going on a blind date…I
cannot accept this.”
Julia’s usually sharp features were now filled with hurt and bitterness.
“I didn’t make a scene though.No matter what, Samuel did have a relationship with me before.I raised
my glass and blessed them”
Julia smiled slightly.
“Elie, I’m like you now.I am free and have nothing to worry about”
Amelie looked at Julia somberly.
The woman might have grown up in a village, but her parents had been important officials which gave
her a proud attitude.
Being brought there like that was akin to humiliation.
Amelie felt sympathetic and hugged her.
“Don’t worry, you still have me.”
“Okay.”
Julia buried her face in her shoulder as tears ran down her cheeks again.She had been pretending to
be unbothered about it and acted as careless as usual, but no one knew how heartbroken she was.
Amelie’s warm hug made her feel like she had found her family, so she let everything out.
When she was done crying, her mood improved drastically.
“I made you cross-dress before because Miss Gage was still concerned that I might disturb Samuel.I
deliberately acted intimate with you so they would think I’d already found someone.Sorry for using
you.Don’t get angry.”
Amelie glared at her.
“Of course, I Am angry.You didn’t tell me anything when something of this scale happened.Do you still
consider me your friend?”
“I thought about telling you, but I was scared that I might get dejected and depressed by doing so.”
Her pride did not allow her to be depressed after experiencing a failed relationship.
“Miss Gage came suddenly, so I was unprepared.I didn’t know what to do and came up with that stupid
idea.”
Julia still looked apologetic.
Amelie shook her head and sighed.
Without saying anything else, she handed over the transfer agreement to Julia.
“Since you’re not getting married, this isn’t considered a dowry.However, you’ve already served the
company this long and contributed a lot to it, so you should have some shares as well.You can think of
it as a work benefit.It’ll encourage you to continue working hard, strengthening and expanding Starlight
Media into a global top company!”
“Wow, Amelie Dillon.How cruel of you.You’re using the company shares to bind me.That way, I can toil
tirelessly for you!”
Julia exclaimed dramatically.
Amelie pretended to be an evil businesswoman.
“Miss Julia, you are not working for me but for yourself!”
The two of them joked around for some time before Julia eventually accepted the shares.
After lunch, Julia had to go on a live show, so Amelie did not disturb her any longer.
However, her mood became worse when she walked out of Starlight Media.
Samuel suddenly abandoning Julia still felt somewhat doubtful, and after some thought, she called him.
“Can we meet up, Samuel?”

“Of course, but I Am occupied right now.Can I get someone to fetch you?”
He sounded exhausted.
“Sure.”
Soon, the car Samuel sent arrived along with his subordinate.
After she got in the car, they headed straight for a high-class private hospital in the countryside.
Samuel was waiting for her in the garden on the ground floor.
“Samuel, why are you at the hospital? Are you ill?” Amelie asked anxiously.
He rubbed his brows and smiled.
“Not me, but my mother”
“Oh.”
She had assumed for a moment that he had decided to break up with Julia because he had an
incurable illness.
“My mother has a serious disease and needs to undergo an operation with a low success rate.She was
afraid she couldn’t survive it and insisted on arranging my marriage.She arranged for a blind date the
day Julia found me, and I only knew about it upon arriving at the venue.”
He had guessed her purpose for coming and gave his explanation.
“She left as soon as she gave a toast, not even giving me a chance to explain.She even blocked me on
everything, so I couldn’t contact her,” he went on, rubbing his brow more insistently.
“Is she okay?”
It had been a misunderstanding.She secretly sighed in relief and chose to tell the truth.
“She isn’t okay.She feels hurt and offended, but she’s trying to put up a happy facade”
Samuel frowned deeply when Amelie finished speaking.
“Sir, the doctor is looking for you.”
A plump woman who looked like a servant ran toward them.
“Something happened to Madam Gage again.”
“Alright.”
Samuel frowned and looked at her apologetically before leaving.
“Sorry for not being able to accommodate you properly.Can you help me bean explain things to Julia?
At the very least, tell her not to block me again.”
“I will.Go on.”
Knowing that it was urgent, she nodded her head decisively.
Samuel left quickly with the servant, while Amelie lingered there for a while before walking out of the
hospital.
Just as she passed a patch of greenery, she heard a delicate voice.
“Leo, do you think a boy or a girl is better?”
