My Supermodel Wife

Chapter 179 - Apology

The next day, Lilia went to the studio as usual.

However, when she stepped into the set, she felt a different atmosphere than usual. The side cast members gathered and chatted, while the main actors were seen relaxing in their seats playing with their phones or reading the script. The film crew also looked as relaxed as the actors. They stood in small groups discussing something.​​

Everyone had gathered there, but there was no sign that filming was about to start.

Merry, who was following behind Lilia, looked around with a curious gaze. Then she looked at her watch. It's almost nine o'clock. Why hadn't the shooting started yet?

"Sis Lilia, is there no shooting today?" Merry asked.

Lilia shook her head. She did not receive any news about today's filming cancellation, "I don't know. I'll change clothes first, you can try asking the people here."

"You don't have to ask!" There was a loud voice from behind Lilia.

As soon as Lilia heard the voice, she immediately recognized it as Shirley's voice. Lilia slowly turned her head and stared at the actress. Even though Shirley's face was heavily covered, the woman couldn't hide the fatigue on her face.

When Shirley saw Lilia's calm expression, her mood got even worse. She hated Lilia's calm attitude. Even when the model was facing a difficult situation, her expression never changed. The calmer Lilia became, the more Shirley couldn't stand her.

In terms of appearance, their beauty was equal. But in terms of ability, Shirley was the queen of film from Berlin. Who did Lilia think she was so she could act so calm in front of Shirley?

Shirley's expression kept changing as she watched Lilia. But her face grew grimmer over time.

Lilia suddenly felt someone tug at her sleeve. She glanced to the side and saw Merry silently shaking her head. The assistant really didn't like Shirley.

At the same time, Shirley said, "Today's filming has been postponed. I heard that the investor for this film came to visit and Mr. Louis is meeting him right now."

Lilia nodded at Shirley, "Thank you." She said in a light voice. Those thanks were just a courtesy for Lilia.

She turned to leave, but Shirley called out to her. "Lilia, wait a moment. There is something I want to discuss with you." The woman said as she glanced at Merry who stood beside Lilia. The woman's gaze said that she didn't want Merry to hear their conversation.

But Merry met her gaze with a pair of innocent eyes. Lilia's assistant didn't move from her place at all.

Shirley shot Merry a sharp gaze. Was Lilia's assistant too stupid to understand her gesture?!

"Merry, go to the locker room and prepare my costume for today's shoot." Lilia told her with a smile. Her gaze urged Merry to follow her order.

"Oh ..." Merry said reluctantly. She turned to leave, but before that, she turned her head back to Lilia, "Sis Lilia, hurry back, okay? There are too many dangers outside. I'm afraid you will meet a bad person." When Merry said 'bad person', she deliberately glanced at Shirley.

When Merry left there, she kept thinking about their conversation. Suddenly, she stopped walking and turned toward the car park. She planned to call Clifford to look after Lilia. Even if nothing happened, Merry would be calmer if Clifford was with Lilia.

*****

Lilia tucked a strand of her windblown hair behind her ear. She looked at the actress who was standing in front of her and said, "So what do you want to talk to me about?" Her tone was tinged with impatience.

They had been standing in the back garden for a few minutes, but Shirley didn't say a word. Her expression tinged with doubt kept changing. Seeing her made Lilia even more annoyed. What the heck was this actress trying to tell her that it took her this long to prepare?

Hearing that, Shirley lowered her gaze. She stared at the rocky ground beneath their feet while taking a deep breath. She said, "I'm sorry about the commotion on the internet yesterday."

After saying that, Shirley raised her face. She studied Lilia's expression closely.

When Lilia didn't show any change in expression, she continued, "My social media account was hijacked by someone. They fabricated pictures and the contents of the conversation. They distributed them through my account. I hope you don't misunderstand me because of this. After all, we will still work together for a long time."

Lilia raised an eyebrow. Oh, was Shirley afraid that Lilia would attack her back? Or did the actress just want to leave a solution for herself? Whatever the reason was, Lilia was sure that her apology didn't come from Shirley's heart.

"Since the photo is just a fabrication, you don't have to bother explaining it to me." Lilia said calmly.

"I just don't want you to misunderstand me!" Shirley quickly replied.

Then, she realized that she was speaking too fast. The actress cleared her throat and spoke more slowly this time.

"I can understand that you want to resign from shooting this film, especially after shooting that first scene. My condition is not at its prime, so my performance is not up to standard. Edward also said the same thing. So you understand that I accidentally made things difficult for you, right?"

Even though Shirley's words sounded humble, Lilia could still detect a faint arrogance in her voice. The woman was not really sincere in her words.

"I'm serious with what I said earlier." Lilia said firmly, "You don't need to explain anything to me. Regardless of whether I misunderstood you or not, this incident has already happened. Even though the contents of the conversation turned out to be fake, you have already seen the effect on me and on the rest of the crew."

Shirley bit her lip when she heard that. She couldn't refute Lilia's words. The crew now looked at her suspiciously wherever she went.

"Ah, but I also want to thank the person who hacked your account."

Those words made Shirley stare at Lilia with surprise mixed with anger.

"You know that lately there have been many comments that paired me with William Anggara, right? The photos posted on your social media accounts can be said to have clarified my relationship with the man, so I feel relieved." Lilia smiled sweetly and made Shirley boil even more.

How dare Lilia say she was glad that Shirley's account got hacked?! She didn't know anything about the trouble Shirley was facing because of that damn hacker! If she found the culprit, she would make sure that person paid for what they did!

As Shirley was struggling to suppress her emotions, Lilia continued her words, "But more importantly, you should change the passwords for your social media accounts and cellphones. The security of your password is something very important. "

Shirley clenched her fists and put on a polite smile, "Thank you for your advice." She said in a steady voice even though she actually wanted to slap Lilia. If it weren't for Melly's order, she would never have said these words to Lilia!

It's clear that Shirley wasn't the one who spread the photo of the contents of the conversation, but why did she have to suffer the consequences?! This was not fair!

The actress didn't remember what she said later, but she felt relieved when Lilia finally came back first. Shirley looked at Lilia's back while the woman was walking away. She clenched her fists so tightly that her nails stuck into her palms. Apologizing to Lilia like this really embarrassed her.
