At this time, Alfred was sitting in one of the classrooms at the Sakura Teahouse. He was seen holding a cellphone while sifting tea. Hearing Lilia's question, his cold eyes turned even more grim.
"Indeed, there is something I want to talk to you about. I just received compensation from your agency. The last time I spoke with your agency, they explained that this perfume doesn't suit you, so they respectfully asked for a termination of the contract of employment. I understand that, but why bother paying the fine?"
This was exactly what Lilia predicted!
Lilia looked out of the window again while tightly holding her cellphone. She stared at the deserted street and answered Alfred in a soft voice, "I understand Mr. Alfred's kindness, but since it was a breach of contract by our side, we still have to fulfill what is written in the contract. Our agency highly values ??what we have agreed on together,"
"Besides, this breach of contract doesn't just delay the development of your perfume ad, I'm afraid you'll have to bother looking for a new fitting model. Therefore, paying this compensation is a form of responsibility for me and the agency."
In this response, Lilia indicated that she personally apologized on behalf of herself and the company. And every word she used represented her professionalism in doing business, so it was difficult for Alfred to find a reason to argue with that.
On the other side of the line, Alfred seemed to be sighing. As he poured hot water into his tea, he smiled. Then he said in a gentle tone, "If this is the case, then I accept your apology. However, if there are opportunities for us to collaborate in the future, I hope that we can work together again,"
Hearing Alfred's answer, Lilia said with a polite smile, "If there is a chance, for sure!"
It's just… Lilia felt that this would never happen again.
This time, Alfred changed the topic of their conversation. "I've told you before that I took the time to visit the Sakura Teahouse. I happen to be here today, can you come? As your teacher, I have to check the extent of your progress."
Lilia looked away from the window and her gaze landed on the ring finger of her left hand. A soft feeling flashed through her eyes, then in a regretful voice she replied, "Sorry teacher, I can't for the next few days. However, I will still practice on my own when I have the time. If there's a problem, I'll call you!"
After saying that, Lilia said goodbye and hung up the phone.
Alfred stared at the boiling hot water in front of him with his eyes that looked very cold.
'Lilia… You really are a smart woman. But, I won't just stop!'
... ..
At six o'clock in the afternoon, Lilia sat on the sofa of her house while waiting for her husband to come home.
Mellisa and Leonard were still out and hadn't returned, so Lilia thought about cooking dinner for Jean.
As soon as this idea came up, the gorgeous supermodel was excited to give it a try.
But when she got up to walk toward the kitchen, she got a call from Jean.
When she heard what the man said, the smile on Lilia's cheeks faded slightly.
It turned out that tomorrow was Tom and Sasha's engagement party, but they had a banquet party in advance for their friends tonight. This banquet would be held in Tom's house.
Lilia got up from the sofa to find her dress to wear for tonight's banquet. While choosing through the line of wardrobes, she kept thinking in her heart. Even if tomorrow was Tom and Sasha's engagement party, Lilia still felt that it was a little surreal.
This thought carried unnecessary emotions, she immediately threw them away and changed into simple casual clothes. After she went downstairs, she realized that her husband was waiting for her.
While smiling broadly, Lilia walked over to Jean and said with a smile, "When did you come?"
"Just now," The man saw what his wife was wearing, a warm and gentle look immediately flashed across his eyes.
Lilia followed her husband's gaze and looked at herself. "What's wrong? Doesn't this dress look good on me?"
After all, this was just a normal dinner so Lilia had no intention of looking pretty and too formal.
She was wearing a black A-line dress and heels. It might look simple, but the dress still made Lilia look more elegant.
Jean shook his head slightly, he then stood up and took his jacket from the sofa. While kissing his wife's forehead, he said with a smile, "Whatever you wear looks good."
Lilia blushed, her face flushed red. Hanging her light gray coat on her sleeve, she said in a joking tone, "You're getting better at saying sweet words,"
The two of them then walked towards the door. After putting on his shoes, Jean's handsome cheeks raised his eyebrows indifferently and his lips answered with a smile, "Not just sweet words, those are actually my true feelings."
Lilia's smile gradually deepened, she caught her husband's arm and kissed him on the cheek. "Mr. Jean is being honest with his feelings, I see. Let's go quickly or we'll be late."
....
—The Green Lake Residence.
On the way to Tom's housing, Lilia saw a road that was quite memorable for her. It was the place where Sara had an accident. But since Lilia rarely passed this place, she wasn't very familiar with it.
And according to rumors, Green Lake Residence was open to the public and was becoming one of the best rare recreational and entertainment spots in the area.
The Wibowo family only had one son— Tom.
If nothing happened, all of the Wibowo family's fortune would go to Tom in the future.
However, the head of the Wibowo family was still in good health and had not retired. So Tom could still enjoy his carefree and fun life.
When Lilia and Jean arrived at the mansion, it was already 6:30 pm.
From a distance, the Wibowo family's mansion was illuminated by beautiful lights.
There weren't many vehicles parked at the mansion tonight since the event was devoted to those closest ones. As for the tourists, they seemed to have been driven out.
When Lilia got out of her car, she and her husband happened to run into Alex in the parking lot.
The clothes he wore were very stylish and cool. As the founder designer of the Van brand, his fashion sense was so good and eye-catching.
For today, the man wore an airport style that was simple but could steal the show. Plain navy t-shirt, jeans, and suede boots. Besides looking comfortable, his look was still semi-formal.
The man walked while holding his cellphone and car key in his right hand. When he noticed Lilia and Jean, he flirted. "Looks like I'm the last person to know that they will be engaged, huh?"
Lilia just smiled politely, she didn't reply to Alex's words.
Her husband who walked beside her straightened the jacket he was wearing and narrowed his eyes. "I don't think so. His own family doesn't even know,"
Alex stopped walking in shock, even Lilia held her breath when she heard it.
Samuel Hiroshi, the head of the Hiroshi family, didn't know about Sasha's marriage?
Interesting… This was very interesting!
