When I Was a Wallflower (Leo and Amelie)

“Getting married isn’t some sort of spiritual practice.Why should I be solemn?”

Julia lamented, but her face was radiant with joy.Her original candid and straightforward character now

had a tinge of gentleness to it as well.

Seeing her, Amelie knew that Samuel had been treating Julia well for the past two years, and she truly

felt happy about that.

“Don’t chit-chat here.The car is outside, so let’s get in the car first” said Casey.

The petite lady had run up to them.

Though those in the airport were more cultured and wouldn’t be so interested in gossiping at the

moment, Amelie and Julia were both well-known figures, and Casey was concerned that something

might happen if they continued staying there.She grabbed Amelie’s luggage as soon as she finished

her words.

“I’ll help you with this, Elie.”

Julia had hired Casey as an assistant during the last two years, but she was good with her words.She

had been referring to Amelie as ‘Miss Dillon’ just moments before, but now, she was addressing her as

‘Elie’.

Seeing that this young lady was adorable and knew how to behave well, Amelie nodded and handed

Casey her luggage.

“Good choice,” she looked at Julia and spoke, Julia would be devoting her time to her family once she

got married.

Though Casey was Julia’s assistant, she was actually Julia’s successor, especially when it came to

running the business.

Hence, Julia deliberately brought Casey here to the airport for her to pick Amelie up.

That way, Amelie would be able to determine whether Casey was a suitable choice as well.

“Really? I was worried that her different temperament from mine would be an issue,” Julia remarked.

To that, Amelie responded, “I believe that if we chose someone with a similar style to you, it would

appear as though she’s imitating you, which will negatively impact everyone’s first impression of her.

Thus, we should get someone completely different so that the viewers would feel refreshed.”

“You’re right.You are indeed a true business master, always looking at things from a different

perspective than the rest of us,” Julia commented.

If Julia had to pick someone to admire in this life, it would undoubtedly be Amelie.

Amelie didn’t get herself involved in many things, but almost everything she did was a classic

achievement.

That included the creation of her online persona, Starlight Media, and even Know It, which she later

established.

Both Amelie and Julia then got into the car while talking.

The car they got into was an enhanced version of a luxury car, which had everything they needed.

Every seat had a screen in front of it, and every passenger could pick their own shows to watch.

The car was configured to auto-pilot mode, and it drove at a comfortable and steady speed, which felt

safer than a driver.

Amelie then clicked on the screen in front of her and began watching the local financial news.

“The following is the most recent news for today, October 13th.Genesis Capital sold all of its shares in

Fundview and immediately earned 25 billion from the sale.Such a move triggered the stock market,

resulting in a 10-percent drop in Fundview’s market value.The confidence of all investors, both

companies and individuals, is dwindling and is expected to continue for some time.Despite being in the

capital market for only two years, Genesis Capital has achieved excellent results through its unique

business vision, and this is not the first time it has achieved such remarkable results in its investments.”

“Leo Alston has done a lot in the last two years,” Julia said, looking at the screen that was showing the

news.

“He initially went on with his usual business, but one day, he abruptly announced that he was entering

the capital market.Many people were skeptical of his decision, believing that he would surely lose all of

his wealth, but it turned out that for each investment he made, he made a significant profit.I even heard

that the money he earned from investments over the last two years is higher than his regular

business.Indeed, he has sound investment judgment.Every company he invested in made a fortune,

which is why everyone is dying for his investments.Meanwhile, the companies in which he sold his

shares experienced nightmares.Everyone regards Leo as the weathervane; whenever he sells off a

company’s shares, everyone believes the company will go downhill and shut down soon.Regardless of

how well the company is doing now, or how many times its directors or shareholders come out to clarify

matters or even show their promising financial reports, all investors will continue to follow Leo”

Julia briefly told Amelie about Leo’s career over the last two years, adding, “He’s a great businessman!”

After commenting on his career, she moved on to his personal life.

“Not only is his career intriguing, but his relationship is even more so.Many women have thrown

themselves at him, and he has refused none, in stark contrast to bean the picky him of the past.He is

now changing his women more quickly than you can imagine! How did such a solemn man in the past

become like this? Men will never change, just as a leopard will never change its spots.”

Amelie, upon hearing what Julia said, was surprised as well.

Then again, both of them were divorced and had never been in contact for the past two years.

Hence, she wasn’t in a position to comment on anything about Leo and didn’t want to talk about him

either.

“What made you change your mind and decide to marry Samuel?”

Amelie was more interested in this.

Although Samuel had explained the matchmaking incident two years ago, Julia accepted the fact that

the Gage Family would never accept her.

Furthermore, she was well aware of what had happened to Amelie’s marriage.Hence, Julia was

unwilling to enter into a marriage and had put off the matter for two years.
