My Sugar And Your Spice

Chapter 2

Within ten minutes, a red mini-sports car stopped in front of Amelie. Then, a woman came out of the car hastily. The woman’s name was Julia White, and she was Amelie’s best friend. When she saw Amelie, she asked, “Did you really get a divorce, Amelie?” “Yes.” Amelie nodded and sat in the passenger seat. Hearing her words, Julia jumped into the driver’s seat and said exaggeratedly, “That’s wonderful! You used to be a woman with pride, but you lost it and became a slave for the Alston Family because of him. However, they were never grateful and even felt that you were taking advantage of them. I’ve long despised them for picking on you!” When Amelie heard her words, she pursed her lips and didn’t say anything. Julia could tell that she was feeling terrible at the moment, so she hugged Amelie tightly and said, “It’s okay. Let it all out.” With that being said, Amelie stayed in Julia’s embrace for a while before she rubbed her tears away and smiled, saying, “Today’s a great day. Let’s go to the amusement park and celebrate.” Thirty minutes later, at an amusement park in Clouson City, Amelie was screaming as she sat on a ride called the Drop Tower, feeling herself falling from the sky. Then, she played several exciting rides like the Condor, Flying Cars, Freefall, Racing Car, and so on. As she screamed her lungs out on the rides, she was crying freely too. Bits of memories about her and Leo flashed across her mind. Thrilling rides were the best for healing. After she played for some time, she felt relaxed and wiped away the last drop of her tears. At the same time, she had also removed Leo from her heart. Then, she went to the clothing store and changed her clothes while Julia accompanied her. Afterward, she dyed her hair blonde and permed her long, straight hair curly. When Julia saw Amelie’s new look, she snapped her fingers in satisfaction and said, “Now, this is the real you.” Looking into the mirror, Amelie saw that she looked beautiful, elegant, and confident. No one would be able to recognize her as the quiet and miserable Mrs. Alston she used to be. “It’s been a long time, Amelie,” she mumbled. By the time Amelie was done, it was 7.00PM. The duo were starving and headed toward a restaurant. “Sit still and wait for me while I ask the owner to prepare some delicious food!” said Julia as she patted Amelie’s shoulder. Then, she turned around and left. While Amelie was walking to the booth they had reserved, she encountered a man and a woman. They were none other than Leo and

his sweetheart, Elyse Clayton. In the past, I couldn’t even get a glimpse of him for weeks, but we’re already bumping into each other shortly after our divorce, Amelie thought and sighed. Just as she was about to avoid them, Elyse saw her and took the initiative to greet the woman. She smiled and said, “Miss Dillion, are you here to see Leo?” Before Amelie could deny it, she continued, “I’m so sorry for what happened. Leo was just helping me to retrieve something at the Civil Affairs Bureau. I didn’t know that you guys would get a divorce because of this.” No wonder Leo arrived earlier today. If not for Elyse’s words, I would have thought that Leo had some feelings for me within the last four years of our marriage. Fortunately, I’ve already made up my mind to forget about him. Otherwise, I would be heartbroken, Amelie thought sarcastically. “I’m glad that there is a cooling-off period. Leo, talk it out with her, okay?” Elyse said softly. Then, she pushed Leo forward and walked away. Once they were left alone, Amelie tried explaining immediately since she didn’t want him to misunderstand. “I’m not here for you. This is all a coincidence.” However, Leo didn’t believe her and said, “Stop playing hard to get. It’s useless!” Then, he lowered his head and stared at Amelie, noticing her new hairstyle and clothes. He assumed that she looked like this in order to catch his eyes. To be honest, Leo didn’t believe that Amelie wanted a divorce and thought that she was just trying to play some tricks on him during the cooling-off period. The more she acted like this, the more he hated her. “Playing… Playing hard to get?” Amelie couldn’t believe her ears when she heard his words. She was shocked that Leo would think of her like this when they had already divorced, so she was upset by his words. Knowing that he never believed in her, she didn’t care to explain anymore and simply said, “Whatever goes your way.” Then, she walked past him and entered the booth. Initially, Leo had expected her to explain the situation and was about to leave. Thus, when he heard her response, he came to a halt and turned around to look at her. However, all he could see was her figure. Is… Is she leaving just like that? he thought. After dinner, Julia looked at Amelie mysteriously and said, “Although your appearance is back, it’s not enough. We must also bring back your attitude. I’m going to turn you back into your normal self —a queen.” Amelie was confused by her theory of appearance and attitude. Only realization hit her when Julia brought her to the biggest bar in Clouson City. Looking at the people who were dancing sexily on stage, Amelie was speechless. “Are you sure about this?” she asked. “Why not? It’s not like

you haven’t tried it before. Come on!” Then, Julia threw a red dress in her direction and continued, “With your skills, you will outshine those professional dancers once you get on stage!” Hearing her words, Amelie laughed and grabbed over a set of clothes that were more conserved. “I think I’d prefer some type of classical dance.” After changing into the outfit, Amelie danced on the stage. As the pop music blared, she danced with elegance. The outfit showed off her agility as she twirled and pranced about, looking like a goddess who had descended to the world. Soon, someone noticed her unique dance under the stage and shouted, “What the heck? Someone is performing a classical number in the bar.” “I can’t believe her dancing is in sync with the beat.” “Wow, she looks stunning! She looks like a professional!” When those who had criticized her saw her dancing, they widened their eyes and changed their perspectives of her. After all, they had never seen anyone dance to pop music using classical dance moves without looking weird. At that moment, those who were on the stage stepped aside since they were being enchanted by her. Under the spotlight, Amelie was alone on the stage, twirling and jumping while her clothes swayed along. She looked as gorgeous as a divine goddess. Slowly, the four sexy dancers wearing exposed clothes blended into the background of Amelie’s performance. Initially, Julia was worried that people would criticize Amelie when the latter wanted to perform a classical dance. However, as she looked at the scene, she propped her chin against her hand and looked at Amelie with admiration. “That’s Amelie, alright. She will be in the spotlight wherever she goes.” On the other hand, Amelie was immersed in her dance and didn’t acknowledge anyone else. It had been four years since she last danced. At this moment, all her emotions were being released, and she just wanted to vent. Her dances were stunning and alluring. As she got more and more hyped, she jumped on a pole and danced against it. Although her pole dance was not as erotic as a pole dancer, it was fascinating to watch. The crowd screamed in excitement as they watched her perform all kinds of complex dance moves perfectly. “Woah, is she a new dancer? She is rather talented.” Under the stage, Leo and his friends walked over when one of them was intrigued by the dance. As the person stared at the figure, he felt that something was wrong. “That woman… She looks like your wife,” he said.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
