After the man left, Lilia returned to the living room.
She didn't know if it was an illusion, it was as if the entire room had become too quiet in an instant.
Obviously, the maids were still busy everywhere, she looked around and couldn't help but laugh to herself.
It may be a psychological burden after escorting her husband away.
Even though she was a bit reluctant by the fact that her husband would be away for half a month, on the surface, she was still focused on the overall situation.
...
From today, she ate alone at the Lakeside Villa and slept in her bedroom alone.
The first three days Lilia was fine, but by the night of the fourth day, she was bedridden and had already counted 300 sheep, and still couldn't sleep.
An hour ago, she ended the video call with Jean and planned to take a shower and then sleep.
It was seen that the work on the man's part seemed very heavy.
She didn't know which land was his breakthrough project this time. When they had a video call, Lilia could still hear the voices of people discussing from the opposite side.
"Three hundred and eighty-four sheep..."
Lilia muttered, then leaned back and sat on the bed.
She just can't sleep!
She put on her nightgown, pulled out her cell phone from under the pillow, and checked the time. It is now half past eleven at night.
"Hey..."
She sighed softly, sitting on the side of the bed and wondering. She then goes to her social media pages to kill the time checking out current trends.
Then, when she fell asleep, she still had her cell phone in her hand. At 6:30 the next day, she woke up leisurely.
When she woke up, she turned his head to look to the side.
The empty side made her lose consciousness for a moment.
After a while, she sat up, cupped her cheeks. In a daze, she finally lifted the blanket and got off the bed.
The maids were cleaning the room and some were preparing breakfast in the kitchen.
Since the arrival of the additional maids at her house, Lilia really had no work at all.
On her white face, there was a faint hint of boredom.
She ate a nutritious breakfast, and then told Dina to pick her up.
She began to miss her man on the fourth day.
Before eight o'clock, Lilia came out well-dressed.
Now that her pregnancy is known all over the Internet, she has shed her mask and other concealments. With sunglasses, she asked Dina to take her to Lilia Studio.
She wanted to keep herself busy, to get rid of the loneliness after her husband left.
...
In Lilia Studio, when Lilia arrived, she met Harold downstairs.
With a cigarette in his hand, he called while walking. "Are you sure the news is true?"
As the words fell, he looked up and saw Lilia standing not far away.
Harold raised his eyebrows and subconsciously glanced at his watch.
8:05, why did she come to the company so soon?
The person on the phone was still talking, so Harold quickly ordered. "You check again, if it's true, tell me later!"
He put the phone back in his coat pocket and stepped forward. Previously, he had stared at Lilia's body for a long time. "What happened? Why did you come to the company so early?"
Lilia took off her sunglasses, and tightened the loose dress in front of her stomach. "It's okay, I'm just excited because I haven't been here in a long time. Do you have any other plans regarding what we discussed the other day?"
Harold narrowed his eyes and noticed the dark circles in Lilia's eyes. "Why are your eyes so black? Haven't you been able to sleep lately?"
Hearing this, Lilia moved the corners of her mouth and touched the corners of her eyes. "I just had a little insomnia last night, I couldn't sleep well!
Hearing that voice, Harold couldn't help but mutter. "Then we'd better talk about it upstairs."
Harold learned the news of Jean's business trip, and there were some things that didn't need an answer when he saw Lilia's figure.
As the two walked side by side into the office building, Harold spoke again. "Recruitment news was sent after you notified me three days ago. So far, more than 800 resumes have been received."
"If you want, you can go up and take a look. Several qualified applicants have been screened. I plan to arrange for them to come to participate in some tests as soon as possible."
"Well, you can do it. I'm sorry for not being able to help you lately."
Harold looked at him strangely. "Have you forgotten your body?"
Lilia looked to the side. "I haven't forgotten, but your tone sounds like there's a bit of discrimination against pregnant women. Many pregnant women still go to work. And someone like me, can only take 15 days of maternity leave before giving birth. I'm also less than five months pregnant now, and a normal job shouldn't affect me."
Harold choked as he glanced at her, and changed the subject. "Soon, the Annual Film Festival Award will be held. Yesterday, the organizers specially reminded me and asked for confirmation of your attendance. How about it? Are you going or not?"
When they entered the elevator, Lilia nodded her head. "I'm going! Instead of letting the paparazzi take pictures of me secretly on a street corner, I think I'd better reveal my pregnancy."
Harold nodded. "Okay, then I'll arrange it. In fact, I myself also agree with your decision to attend. Even though you're pregnant, you don't need to run away. And your body when you're pregnant is still exactly the same, no drastic changes other than your stomach. The Annual Film Festival Award is also one of the three major domestic awards. Even if you can't win an award, being nominated is something to be proud of."
...
After arriving at the office, Harold brought over the resume he selected earlier.
The thick pile of information contained nearly two hundred candidates.
He bent his finger and tapped the table. "These were chosen by Joe and I. They are all over 1.75 meters tall. You can check them out first. If there are no problems, I plan to make an appointment with them within this week. I will interview them face to face and do a preliminary assessment. Physically."
"Since we want to train our own models, we seem to need a room for training. Apart from Ludwig Technology and a few other small companies on the opposite side, all the rooms on this floor are still empty. I've asked the building administration staff to inquire about the property. Otherwise, If there's a problem, we'll rent another room."
Harold was naturally more experienced in running a company.
Lilia took the resume in her hand and nodded as she read it. "Of course I don't have any comments. You are the second boss of this studio, you can arrange it however you want!"
This answer shows a high sense of trust.
Harold sat in front of her, his eyes fell on her white and graceful face. Then he took a deep breath, and a relieved smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He gets up to fetch water for her, and as soon as he walks, he hears a noise in the corridor outside the office area.
Someone seemed to be arguing, their voice was loud.
Harold frowned, walked slowly to the front desk, and asked, "What's wrong?"
The little girl who was in the corridor looked frightened and she didn't forget to put her hand on her mouth when she spoke. "A middle-aged woman came here, she was very angry. But… I don't know what they're arguing about, I didn't dare go in for fear of getting scolded too."
Harold. "…"
