Should she be discouraged?
Lilia felt that there was no need to feel that way!
Rumors like this usually came from within the company. Otherwise, it would be impossible to reach her assistant's ears.
She puffed her brows in thought.
Lilia wasn't worried about her position in the entertainment world or her working contract being affected, she was just worried about Harold's situation.
Having been working together for so long, Lilia knew how much effort Harold had put for her.
Seeing that her consolation was not working, Rini glanced at Dina with a little frustration.
The two girls weren't so smart, they weren't good at entertaining others who seemed in a bad mood.
Lilia was standing in the corner of the lobby with a heavy heart.
She wanted to meet Harold as soon as possible. She wanted to hear it from the man himself, Lilia really couldn't accept Harold being treated so unfairly.
Should she talk to Albert Ares, the agency owner?!
Lilia paused her thought with a heavy heart. Right at this moment, the sound of footsteps came from the side and Louis' warm laughter followed. "Lilia, why are you standing here and not coming in?!"
Lilia quickly retracted her heavy gaze and gave a big smile, then she looked back at Louis. "Director Louis, I just wanted to get some fresh air. I didn't expect to see you here!"
"Haha, today is our first film promotion tour. Are you nervous?" Louis walked towards her wearing a black leather jacket and jeans.
As a director, such clothes were also in line with his style.
Lilia smiled before replying, "Hahaha maybe. I heard that Shirley can't participate in this tour, and as the second option, I don't know if I can live up to the expectations of the director and crew."
"You will be fine. Her absence is really unfortunate, but Shirley has her own reason. She said that she is still studying and can't take time off. And I really value education above all else so I tolerate it. Therefore, I insist that you participate in all promotions for our movie tour. The main character isn't here, so I really rely on you to make this event a success!"
Lilia could see that Louis was serious about promoting this film, so she earnestly nodded. "Director, please don't worry, I will do my best for all events in each city!"
Louis smiled and pointed forward, then said in a brisk tone, "This is just the Lilia that I know! Let's hurry up inside, the backstage is on the third floor of the theater. The event will be held in a multi-function hall for a while. Today I bet a lot, I specially put out some fragments from the film so that everyone can see it first! "
Lilia smiled lightly and went backstage with him. Dina and Rini silently followed behind them with their eyes facing each other.
...
In the changing room, the crew's special makeup artist was seen working on others.
The door opened and Lilia came in without haste. The makeup artist was a little excited when he saw her entering. "Miss Lilia is finally here!"
"Hello!" She said politely, then she sat down in front of the mirror where no one was sitting.
Dina and Rini were busy by her side. The make-up artist was just halfway doing make-up on his female partner when he saw Lilia sitting quietly and playing with her phone. He couldn't help but ask, "Miss Lilia, do you want me to do your makeup today?"
His female partner instantly showed an irritated look.
But this was the difference between a protagonist and a supporting role— this girl could only hold it back even if she was not happy.
Lilia's attention was still on her cellphone. She lifted her eyes slightly when she heard the voice. Through the reflection of the mirror, she clearly saw the irritation of the girl. She smiled faintly and said with a sharp tone, "No need, I'm fine. Just finish your work first, I'm not in a hurry."
Hearing Lilia's words, the makeup artist seemed relaxed a little. But he couldn't stop himself from glancing at Lilia a few more times.
At this time, Dina's cell phone rang. After she looked around, she said to Lilia, "Miss, today's dress has been chosen by the company. They have sent it here, I will go out and pick it up."
"Alright, thanks."
Before Dina left, she didn't forget to wink at Rini. The meaning was very clear— protect the young master's wife!
Lilia was still staring at her cellphone, she hadn't logged into her social media for a while.
She didn't pay much attention to the news on the Internet these days.
On today's tour, the "Chosen Kingdom" crew released the trailer beforehand. Lilia reposted it to her social media to help build momentum. This was also to honor the crew's efforts.
After reposting her official movie account post, Lilia was about to put back her cellphone in her purse. However, she suddenly heard someone outside the changing room exclaim, "Hey, watch your way when you walk please!"
"Sorry, I didn't mean it!" This voice belonged to Dina.
Since the door to the locker room was not closed, the dialogue between the two could be heard very clearly.
Lilia got up without hesitation, it sounded like Dina crashed into someone.
However, when she walked to the door, she heard a small voice muttering. "Aren't you Lilia's assistant? Does she think she can do whatever she wants just because she's famous?"
When she heard this, Lilia narrowed her eyes and her expression turned cold. What the hell did this person want? Did she just drag her into such a trivial matter?!
Rini seemed to have recognized the other party's identity. She stepped forward and reminded Lilia, "She is one of the new artists of the company, her name is Milia."
Hearing that voice, Lilia looked at Rini with a strange gaze and repeated, "Milia?"
Why was her name almost the same as her? Was this a coincidence?
Rini nodded mockingly, "Yes, her name is Milia. But I don't know if that's her real name or stage name."
Lilia lowered her eyelids, suppressing the doubts in her heart. "Does she also participate in this show?"
In fact, she really didn't know a thing about Milia.
Rini shook her head indistinctly, her tone was a little stiff. "She didn't participate in the show. Her appearance here today should have been arranged by the company!"
Lilia's face was a little cold.
Aphrodite Agency had completely changed!
When Lilia walked to the door and opened it, she saw Milia standing across from Dina, looking a little angry and displeased.
This was Lilia's first time seeing Milia's face.
From head down to a smooth waist supporting her straight posture, a black jacket was seen wrapped over her shoulders and a silver evening gown she wore underneath looked contrasty.
She had a fairly good look, especially her eyes, that were clear and bright, making her always look sparkling in people's eyes.
Lilia's gaze fixed on Dina again. Without bothering to observe, she could see that her face was sullen and unhappy.
"What's wrong?" Lilia walked towards Dina, tapped her shoulder and asked softly with soothing tenderness.
Dina was still holding the dress in her hand, her gaze staring at Milia's body and her eyes were grinning coldly. "It's okay, I accidentally ran into our company's new favorite, what a rude person!"
When Milia saw Lilia, her face was clearly pale.
"You…. What are you talking about? That's utter nonsense. Why can't I get mad at the person who accidentally bumped into me? Why are you talking as if at fault here?" Milia's voice sounded soft, making people easily sympathize with her.
After she finished speaking, she didn't forget to look at Lilia and said ironically, "Miss Lilia, is this how you teach your assistant?"
