✿ CHAPTER 48 ✿
AMELIA'S POV
THE NEXT MORNING
"Young miss, are you sure you want to leave?" Butler Charles asked as he carried out my luggage from my room.
"Amelia, please rethink this," My mom pleaded with me...she didn't want me to leave.
"I have to leave Mom...I can't be with you guys for long, okay?"
"But...you can stay here a little longer," My dad said as he stood beside my mom.
"No, Dad, I've overstayed my welcome...I need to move back to my apartment now."
"You're free to come over and stay with us for as many days as you want, okay?"
I nodded
"Yes, Dad...I will I gave a little smile.
"Amelia, please be careful...I know you just got suspended from school."
"I promise to be careful, Mom...bye!" I waved at them as Butler Charles helped me put my luggage into my car.
"Bye Mom, bye Dad, bye Uncle Charles," I smiled as I got into my car and drove off.
"I'm going to miss her," My mom wiped her eyes.
"She's a grown adult now...she knows her way," My dad said
"Sir, madam...will young Miss be fine all alone again?" Butler Charles asked
"I know she will," My dad said with a smile
I've been staying with my parents ever since I broke up with Caesar...I had to move back to my apartment sooner or later, I have decided not to trouble my parents anymore, and take care of myself from now on.
While I was driving down the road, I received a call from Sofiya.
"Sofiya, I'm on the"
"Amelia, have you seen the news this morning!!" Sofiya's loud voice echoed through the phone.
"What news?"
"Oh my God, Amelia!...you haven't even read this morning's headlines?"
"Come on, read it now! Like right now!"
"Is something going on?" I furrowed my brows
"Just read it already!"
I disconnected the call...luckily, there was traffic, so I decided to use the opportunity to go through the news on my phone.
#INTERNATIONAL ACTRESS CROWED AND HARASSED BY CRAZY FANS AT THE IMPERIAL CITY HOTEL
#THE CEO OF 7ELEVEN MAKES HEADLINES FOR THE FIRST TIME WITH AN INTERNATIONAL ACTRESS, WHAT COULD THIS MEAN?
#THE CEO HIMSELF SAVES THE ACTRESS IN DISTRESS
#FANS DESCRIBE THE MOMENT AS 'STRAIGHT OUT OF A NOVEL'
I was stunned to see the headlines all about Leonard and- and a woman?
I felt an indescribable feeling to punch something...I have never seen Leonard with a woman or talk about a woman before. What does this suddenly mean?
I saw many photos taken of Leonard and the actress...they seemed pretty close together...his arms were strongly wrapped around her...seeing the photos made my heart clench. I couldn't see the woman's face clearly but she looked oddly familiar.
As if that was enough, I saw another headline that said-
#THE CEO OF 7ELEVEN SEEN WITH THE BELOVED ACTRESS WALKING OUT OF THE HOSPITAL BUILDING THIS MORNING
#THE CEO ALLEGEDLY ACCUSED OF SPENDING THE NIGHT AT THE HOSPITAL WITH THE ACTRESS
#THE ACTRESS SEEMS PRETTY CLOSE TO THE CEO WITH HER HANDS WRAPPED AROUND HIS ARM, WALKING INTO THEIR CAR
#THE ACTRESS ONCE SAID IN AN INTERVIEW THAT SHE ONCE HAD A BOYFRIEND., COULD THE CEO BE HER BOYFRIEND?
#FANS DIVIDED OPINIONS OF THEM BEING A REAL COUPLE
#DO YOU WANT TO SEE HOT AND MUSCULAR MEN? VISIT THIS LINK TO SEE PHOTOS OF HOT AND SEXY-
I clenched my phone hard...Leonard doesn't have a girlfriend...if he did, we wouldn't have-
HONK!
The cars behind me honked at me to move my car... I quickly started my car and drove away.
While I was driving, Sofiya called me again
"Girl, did you see the news? That was crazy!"
"Yeah, I saw it," I said calmly while driving.
"But to be honest, they do seem pretty good together in the photos-"
"Sofiya"
"Oh, my bad!... I forgot someone is jelly," she chuckled over the phone
"I'm not jealous, Amelia...so what if they're dating? It's not like I care anyway," I rolled my eyes.
"You can't lie to me, Amelia...I know you like him...I guess that's the reason he rejected you because he already has a girlfriend!" she laughed.
"Get out of my phone Sofiya." I was about to disconnect the call
"Wait, wait wait!!... I was joking okay? Don't be so serious, lover girl"
"Sofiya!"
"Ok ok ok,...where are you now?"
"I'm heading to my apartment"
"Your apartment? Really? It's been months since you've been there...what made you change your mind now?"
"Nothing really, I just need some time alone"
"Yeah, you're right...ok then, I'll meet you at your apartment so we can both clean up together, okay?"
"Thanks"
"Ok, see you there girl!" she disconnected the call.
I sighed as I massaged my temples.
Was I really jealous? I tried getting Leonard out of my brain but he was just stuck in there like a tattoo...
I didn't know what to do or how to feel after reading the headlines and seeing those photos...it broke me.
