Alice's presence caused the two people on the sofa to slowly release their embraces.
Lilia fixed the messy hair on her ears, straightened her waist and stared at her. "This shows that Jean has good sense!"
This house's style and its carbon copy in Parma was just….
Alice pursed her lips at Lilia. She silently watched Jean's expression as she walked. She always felt... that the man's cold gaze was unwelcoming towards her.
This shouldn't be an illusion!
Alice's thoughts didn't go deep enough.. She walked slowly to the sofa, looked at Jean, and hesitantly said, "Did I... not come at the right time?"
At this time, the man finally gave her a light gaze. "Did your father know that you came to Indonesia?"
Alice nodded, and openly lied. "Yes."
Jean's thin lips tilted slightly, and his eyes were filled with a dangerous dark light. His tone was frank and slow as he questioned, "Are you sure?"
Alice nodded even faster and continued nodding.
Of course her father knew about her coming to Indonesia, it's just that... he didn't agree.
The man glanced at Alice's refined expression and asked nonchalantly, "How did you find this place?"
The two of them talked with each other while Lilia remained silent.
After hearing this, Alice betrayed her friend very easily, "Vincent told me!"
Vincent once came here!
More than that, he had also seen Mrs. Mei before.
So Alice followed Vincent's direction and came to Villa Lakeside as soon as she arrived in Surabaya.
But it looks like she's in trouble!
Alice blinked her eyes thoughtfully, and after some thought, she started playing her pity card. "Josh, I came to see you to calm everyone down. Last time in Parma, you and Lilia came home in a hurry. We were worried that you might have anything so I came to see you on their behalf. After knowing you guys are fine, I got too caught up in fun with Lilia and we played all the time. You... You are fine, right?"
Hearing these words, Lilia glanced at Alice with difficulty, shook her head and sighed silently.
Would her husband believe such a blatant lie?
She didn't say that before!
Of course, Lilia was just telling the truth to Jean and could only shake her head at Alice's lies.
She was a mud puppet that could not protect herself, and she was completely helpless to help Alice ...
Even if she understood Alice's gesture as she kept winking at her, she was utterly helpless.
Currently, the atmosphere in the living room is somewhat stagnant.
As Alice wondered if she needed to change her reason, she listened to the man. "You came alone?"
Not!
But she couldn't tell the truth!
Alice lowered her head, her hands on her knees and her nails clasped, afraid that Jean might see some clue. So she lowered her head and answered, "Yes, I came alone."
There was another shocking silence.
Alice felt that this excuse was incorrect. She lifted her head and hurriedly looked at Jean and added, "Ah, there are some bodyguards who accompany me, but I did not bring them to your house!"
At this point, the man ended the topic.
Alice secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but turn her gaze to the dark black night outside the window.
From the reflection on the bright window, she clearly saw her own nervous expression, which made her a little emotional!
She literally almost gave herself a death sentence!
This man she knew as Josh wasn't human!
Her arrival also had something to do with Uncle Enrico's condition, but after seeing Jean's fierce and terrifying figure, Alice didn't dare to say anything.
Her heart was very anxious, and after answering Jean's question, her heart became more and more uncertain.
Fortunately, when the three of them were sitting in the living room with their own worries, Mei had already come down from upstairs with Lilia's cellphone.
"Madame, I found your phone!"
The maid handed the phone to Lilia, wrinkled the corners of her eyes and looked at Jean's face with care and attention.
Lilia smiled and thanked her. She didn't want the maid to worry too much, so she suggested, "It's a bit late already, how about you stay tonight?"
Mei shook her head stiffly and grabbed the corner of her clothes. "Madame, my family is at home and is still waiting for me. So if nothing happens then I'll be going first."
The man slowly raised his eyes, his tone flat. "Let Clifford send you back, he's outside the door."
"Fine, thank you young master."
Alice could not sit still as Mei finished tidying up her belongings and planned to leave. She looked at the two opposite her. "I'm also going."
Lilia was surprised. "Don't you want to stay here?"
She thought that Alice would definitely stay here for a while when she came to her house.
Why did she leave all of a sudden?!
Alice scratched the tip of her nose and grinned. "I've booked a hotel and don't want to bother you. But I'll definitely come and play with you tomorrow!"
Lilia was suspicious. "There are many guest rooms upstairs. This is your first time coming to Indonesia, so why do you have to stay in a hotel?!"
Since they were friends, she didn't want to ignore Alice.
When her voice fell, Jean nodded and agreed. "Clifford happens to be free, let him send you back!"
The smile on Alice's face instantly froze. "No, no, no, it's too much trouble, I can go back on my own."
Seeing this, the man narrowed his eyes in majesty, but he didn't say anything. Even with just the look of his eyes, Alice felt like she was sitting on pins and needles.
Suddenly, she compromised. "Then, I will trouble your bodyguard!"
Lilia gave Alice and Jean a strange look. It was just a gaze, why did she look depressed? Is there something she hides?!
Although not very familiar, Alice is a girl with a big heart who can't hide anything.
On her face, her rage had long been revealed.
A few minutes later, Lilia and Jean sent them outside.
Before getting into the car, Alice didn't forget to look back and say goodbye. "Lilia, see you tomorrow!"
"Okay, see you tomorrow!"
Lilia took a step back while watching the direction of the car and she shrank. Shrinking her shoulders, she hooked Jean's hand and walked back. "Is Alice afraid to disturb us? Why doesn't she want Clifford to send her back?"
Jean's eyes were deep and there was no argument. When the two of them entered the door, he raised his eyebrows and his voice soft and clear. "Is there time to care about her feelings?"
If Alice suddenly visited, there wouldn't be an incident that would make his heart flutter tonight!
Hearing this, Lilia's movements stopped, then she bit her mouth and stopped talking!
Oh, she almost forgot! She pissed off her husband earlier!
In this way, the man walked in front, and Lilia was like a little girl behind him.
Returning to the living room, she picked up the cell phone that was resting on the armrest of the sofa, walked forward immediately after, and stared at the screen as she walked.
Jean had messaged her many times and there have been tons of missed calls. Vivi and Rachel also answered in their group chat.
Among the messages was a message from Harold. Harold sent out several resumes, which were candidates Joe thought were very potential.
In that case, Lilia did not mind. Then she immediately replied to Harold: I will leave the decision to you.
