My Supermodel Wife

Hearing this, Dina kept tidying her clothes and answered, "Maybe less than a month. These newcomers haven't been around that long, but the company is so generous to give them resources."

Lilia nodded clearly, thinking about her earlier anger towards Milia. Then she took out her cell phone from her bag curiously.​​

She hadn't heard from Albert at all!

Simply put, this matter wasn't handled properly at the time, and Lilia was trying not to think about it.

After the first day of the tour was over, Louis' assistant, Joshua, came to tell Lilia that she was invited to dinner at a famous French restaurant in the capital in the evening held exclusively to honor the main characters.

This approach seemed to be normalized in the entertainment world. Moreover, Lilia had not left the capital city yet and there was no reason for her to refuse it.

However, she deliberately asked Dina to buy a flight ticket to the city of Surabaya that night.

According to the notice given by Harold, the film promotion event would last for one and a half months. With a total of 15 tours in different cities, each tour would take three to four days on average.

And the location of this tour for the day after tomorrow happened to be in Surabaya.

Lilia wanted to go home early to wait for her team to come and gathered on the spot.

...

At eight in the evening, while dinner was taking place, Lilia was continuously checking her watch. Before this, she had talked to Louis about her plan to return to Surabaya first. And when the time was right, she would go home earlier than the others and hurry to the airport.

Louis smiled and nodded. "Since you have other arrangements, then I will not keep you here any longer. See you in Surabaya in two days!"

"Okay, see you in Surabaya!"

It was another cold night. The pedestrians were seen walking slowly on the road as they couldn't help going against the chilling night wind.

Outside the restaurant, Rini parked the car on the side of the road.

Lilia smoothed the coat she was wearing while walking slowly towards the car, but a male figure was standing in front of her sight and it seemed like he was waiting for her.

They were neither far nor near, and under the dim light of the streetlight, William's melancholy eyes were filled with complexity.

Lilia only glanced at him, then she looked forward, as if she didn't intend to stop.

It was true that she hadn't seen William in a long time, but she had no plan to talk with him.

"Are you so unwilling to face me now?"

William stepped forward. When Lilia tried to get past him, he suddenly stood in front of her.

Lilia had to inconveniently stop in her way from that. The cold night wind blew against her, making her eyes narrow a little. She blinked and her face didn't look surprised. "Do you need anything?"

There's no point in talking with him. They had nothing to do with each other anymore.

"Can't I talk to you even if we are nothing? Lilia, although we broke up, is it really that hard for us to be friends?"

William spoke with a bitter and helpless look on his eyes. He did not know if it was an illusion, but he couldn't see the figure standing before him the same as before. The man felt like Lilia was no longer her old self. 

But even so, Lilia didn't want to talk or make small talk with him.

"If you just want to ask how I'm doing, we don't need to chat. I'm very busy, Mr. William."

William looked at her deeply. Calling him 'Mr. William' showed that Lilia had drawn a very boundary between the two.

He laughed dryly, then walked away the next second. The man quickly opened his palm to the side of the road. "Then, I won't bother you again. See you in Surabaya in two days. "

Lilia unconsciously looked at William, only to feel weird.

She hadn't seen him for a long time and their encounter happened this way. Lilia couldn't help but frown as she felt the increasingly awkward atmosphere between them. How strange!   

Lilia suppressed the suspicion in her heart. After nodding slightly, she led Dina straight to the car parked by the side of the road.

'Lilia, we still have a long time!'

...

At 11pm, Lilia returned to the Lakeside Villa in Surabaya.

At first, she did not expect to return to her house so quickly. Since Harold's information about this tour was not very detailed, Lilia didn't even know that the destination of the second tour was Surabaya.

But this was good indeed, at least she could come back early. With this free time too, she could investigate the true situation within the Aphrodite Agency.

In front of her house gate, Lilia stopped walking and stared at the building after getting out of the car.

Strangely, there was no light illuminating her house. Only the outer lights were on.

She checked the time, it turned out that it was nearly half past twelve. Was Jean asleep?

After saying goodbye to Dina and Rini, Lilia pulled her suitcase into the door.

In the bedroom, the lights were off and nothing was visible.

Jean wasn't home!

It was already late at night, was he still working at the company?

Lilia took off her coat and put it on the chair. After that, she sat on the edge of the bed, took out her cell phone and called her husband.

"Sorry, the number you dialed has been turned off..."

Lilia was dumbfounded, she immediately felt anxious so she tried to call him again.

The same voice answered her again, and it made her feel a little worried.

Lilia had known her husband for a long time, and she knew Jean never turned off his cellphone.

Did something happen?

Lilia's heart was so restless, she returned from the capital without notifying Jean beforehand.

She wanted to surprise him, so she returned home quietly.

But at this time, she couldn't even contact her husband.

Lilia didn't doubt anything, she was just worried whether something had happened to her husband. 

The more she thought about it, the more she panicked. She opened her contact list and looked around. Finally, her eyes were fixed on Kenny's phone number.

She didn't know what else to do nor who else she should contact. Kenny was her only hope at this time.

Lilia wasted no time and dialed Kenny's number right after.

This time, it took about half a minute before the phone was picked up. "Madame, what's wrong?"

Kenny's voice sounded tired. When he opened his mouth, he seemed to be continuously flipping through the doc.u.ments in his hands, and the rustling of the paper could be heard clearly from across.

Lilia smiled politely. "Kenny, sorry to bother you at night. Is he with you?"

Kenny was so busy that he was dizzy, it took him a few seconds to realize what Lilia was saying. He suddenly tapped the table in front of him. "Yes, the president is with me!"

After he finished speaking, he felt that his words lacked detail, so he quickly explained, "Madame, the president is in a meeting. Maybe he can't come home tonight. Wait a minute, I'll ask him to answer the phone!"

After learning the whole story, Lilia didn't want to cause much trouble. "You don't need to call him, I was just a little worried when I called his number but his phone was off, so I called you. If he's okay then I have nothing to ask again."

Kenny thought for a while before he got up and walked out of the office. He looked into the conference room next door and said, "The president has a lot of meetings today, maybe his cell phone has run out of battery. After this meeting is over, I will ask the president to call you back!"

"No need, let him work. If it's not a bother, I want to ask you a favor. Please help me remind him so that he always takes care of his health and gets enough rest."
