Ten minutes later, shooting for the perfume commercial began. Lilia took off her coat. Wearing a light skirt decorated with edelweiss flowers, she walked into the flower field for the shoot.
As far as she could tell, shooting a commercial was not that challenging. In accordance with the director's requests and directions, Lilia dedicated herself to running and dancing amidst the flower fields. Her figure looked like a fairy queen playing among the blooming flowers.
Overall, the shooting process was smooth. Even though some shots needed to be repeated several times in the middle of the way, the final result was still satisfying. After all, advertising was different from filmmaking. It took about an hour to complete.
As soon as the director finished the photoshoot, Dina and Rini immediately ran over to Lilia.
It was very cold this afternoon, and the clothes Lilia wore couldn't give her any warmth. In order to maximize the results of the shoot, Lilia had to wear only a thin scarf or something.
This photoshoot was neither long nor short, but it was enough to make Lilia shiver with cold. Coupled with running in the middle of a flower field, her skirt was soaked with frost. Instead of helping her stay warm, the skirt made Lilia even colder.
Lilia's body trembled slightly when the shoot was over. When she turned from the flower field, she accelerated her pace when she saw Dina running over while holding her coat. This outfit was too cold!
At this moment, Harold's face was already filled with anger. He also rushed over to Lilia, with an unspeakable irritation in his heart. He began to regret letting Lilia star in this suspicious perfume commercial. Both the filming process and the perfume owner suddenly showing up made Harold doubt the arrangement.
On the other hand, Dina had arrived at Lilia's side. She wrapped the model's shoulders with the coat in her hand. Then she continued rubbing Lilia's arm, trying to warm her up. Dina watched the model with great concern.
When Dina first worked as Lilia's assistant, she only thought of her as the employer's wife that she needed to protect. If anything happened to Lilia, Jean would fire her— that was the only thing that Dina worried. However, after working with her for a few months, Dina was sincerely worried about Lilia's condition. The model was such a kind person that Dina wondered why she would want to marry a cold-hearted man like Jean.
"Sis Lilia, are you still cold? Let's go to the car. It will be warmer there," Dina said worriedly.
Just as she finished speaking, a gray coat suddenly crossed Dina's view. Before she could react, the coat was already attached to Lilia's shoulders, making her wear two layers of overcoat.
The coat was so long that it almost reached Lilia's ankles. The model then turned towards the man who put the coat on her.
The man who owned the perfume brand then said to Lilia with a soft face, "Thank you for your hard work. Thanks to you, the results are very good."
At this time, the sun had descended to the west, leaving only strands of colorful clouds floating in the sky. Alfred stood a few steps away from Lilia, still wearing a gentle face and elegant gestures. Only his blue eyes gleam sharply, making the model a bit anxious.
Lilia met that man's gaze for a moment. A strange and strong smell of cologne wafted from the coat and filled her nose. That strange scent made Lilia feel a little uneasy. Jean had never used men's perfume.
Alfred might mean well, but for Lilia, such a move would only cause unnecessary trouble. She did not want to add to the gossip about herself.
Lilia tried to hold her emotions and looked at Alfred calmly, "You're welcome, Mr. Alfred. This is my job," she answered.
After saying that, Lilia removed the man's coat from her shoulders and handed it back to Alfred. Then she said with a polite smile, "It's quite cold this afternoon, so you better wear it yourself. I don't want Mr. Alfred to fall sick because of me,"
Alfred didn't respond immediately. He only watched Lilia's outstretched hand for a moment. When the man opened his mouth, he joked in a deep voice, "Your clothes are thinner than mine, and you followed the shoot for my brand. It's just a piece of clothing. Can you not worry about the gossip about it?"
Lilia stared at him without changing her expression. She smiled and nodded, "Indeed, I care about gossip about me! I'm married after all," she deliberately emphasized the next words, "So I prefer to avoid unnecessary problems,"
These words made Alfred slowly step back a little. He didn't expect Lilia to be so straightforward.
Suddenly, someone from the production team shouted, "A car is coming!"
Filming had ended and there were very few hikers in this flower field. So the arrival of a luxury car from a distance drew everyone's attention.
With the sound of the wheels grinding against the gravel, a black Volkswagen appeared before everyone's eyes. The car continued to move until it slowly pulled over near Lilia.
The driver who got out of the car was an assistant Lilia knew very well. Kenny ran to open the back door. He invited the owner to leave respectfully.
A tall, well-built male figure stood beside the door. He wore an ink-black coat and a white shirt. His cold expression showed aloofness and arrogance.
With his black coat hanging from his arms, his dark blue eyes swept across everyone on the set. Finally, the man's gaze fell on Lilia's figure.
Someone whispered, "It's President Jean Widjaya!"
The other person gossiped, "Is that Lilia's husband?"
Many young women there were immediately fascinated by Jean's appearance. "So handsome..." They said in admiration.
It was clear that Alfred Ricardo, the owner of the brand, was also a handsome man. But when Jean Widjaya appeared, Alfred was immediately forgotten.
If Alfred looked as soft as the clouds that floated in the sky, then Jean was more like an iceberg towering above everyone. However, the harder it was for a person to be approached, the more motivated people were to approach them. That's why they were attracted to Jean, the man who gave off an unapproachable aura.
When Jean appeared, Alfred was still standing in front of Lilia and raised his chin high. He no longer used the inferior attitude he had displayed in front of everyone.
Alfred did not take back his coat and instead turned towards Jean. As their gazes met in midair, there were electric sparks radiating between them.
After that brief interaction, Jean walked over to Lilia. Everyone present waited while holding their breath. They all knew for a fact that Lilia was married. But would Alfred's move in personally draping his coat around Lilia's shoulders cause a stir between husband and wife?
Everyone even began to imagine soap operas scenes in their minds. For example, Lilia was scolded by her crazy rich husband for using other men's property. Then Alfred would step forward to protect the defenseless woman, creating a love triangle conflict.
Their imagination was so wild that it made reality seem disappointing.
In a short time, Jean was standing in front of Lilia. His cold expression melted at the sight of his wife. He took off the coat in his hands and gently wrapped it around Lilia's shoulders.
"With clothes this thin, aren't you afraid to catch a cold and have a fever again?" Jean gently said.
