The man listened to Alex's firm evaluation, and a stream of light flashed through his deep eyes. "You've known each other before?"
Alex walked to the sofa and when he sat down, his expression was light. "I met her at Fashion Week. This time I didn't expect you to invite her. Since the wedding dress is a well-known brand, I heard that ordering a wedding dress on the spot is very difficult, of course you also have to spend a lot of money."
Jean's thin lips were slightly sideways, he didn't answer.
Alex waited for a few seconds, and couldn't help but ask a question. "What method did you use? She is a famous wedding dress designer and she is now letting go of her design philosophy and helping you create something new. Was she ever indebted to you?"
At this moment, Jean looked into Alex's eyes filled with suspicion.
He slightly curled his lips, got up and walked to the window behind him. "I only promised to help her someday."
"What did she ask for?" Alex was even more surprised.
At this point, Jean didn't give any further explanation.
Alex stared at his figure, shook his head and sighed.
Jean didn't want to say more!
Well… never mind then. He won't ask him anymore!

Three days later, at eleven in the morning, Lilia received a call from her sister-in-law Claire.
"Lilia, where are you?"
There was the faint sound of the bustling airport behind the phone.
Lilia was sitting in the office and discussing the results of the final interview with Harold. When she heard Claire's voice, she seemed happy. "Sis, have you arrived in Surabaya?"
"Yes, I just landed! Where are you? Are you busy?"
Claire's voice was soft and cheerful, and Lilia didn't hear any depressive tendencies.
Lilia glanced at the sky outside. "I'm in my office, not too busy."
"Then, can you come to my boutique? I also haven't seen you in a long time, we must gather!"
Lilia listened to Claire's cheerful tone, and agreed with a smile. "No problem, I'll be leaving now."
"Okay, see you later."
After hanging up the phone, Harold couldn't help but say, "You don't have to worry about the ones here, the evaluation is almost done. I also plan to estimate that I might recruit 15 people."
Lilia nodded and stretched her shoulders. "Then I'll go and meet my sister-in-law first. If I'm free in the afternoon, I will come here. "
"No!" Harold refused. "No need. If you want, come back tomorrow. I happen to have scheduled a meet up with my friend and planned the details of our event at the film awards. Come tomorrow, we will discuss the awarding process. In less than ten days, the show will start!"
After hearing this, Lilia suddenly realized. "Then, see you tomorrow!"
...
In less than ten minutes, she left Lilia Studio.
As soon as she entered the car, her phone rang and it was from Vivi.
Lilia looked at the display on the screen and smiled. "What's wrong?"
Vivi's cheerful tone made Lilia feel her joy even if she wasn't there beside her.
"Lilia, I did it! I just received an acceptance notification from Gaia, I landed a job!"
Lilia looked at the street view from the window, and her eyes smiled brightly. "Really? Congratulations!"
Vivi felt very excited. "Are you in the company? I want to meet you and celebrate. I am very happy! I didn't expect that I was so good that a big company like Gaia would accept me. If this continues, maybe I can reach the pinnacle of life and marry a rich and handsome person!"
Lilia laughed. "If that happens, he might have to ask for my approval before he marries you!"
"That's for sure, but I have to ask you to be my bridesmaid too!"
Hearing this, Lilia lowered her head and touched her lower stomach, shaking her head with a smile. "I will wait for the good news then. However, now that I'm not at the company, I have plans for today."
Vivi's tone was a bit regretful. "It's okay, I'll wait. When you're free, just call me. Recently… Rachel seems to be quiet, I want to go to her company to see her, do you think… it's okay?"
When Rachel's name was mentioned, Lilia's smile immediately disappeared.
She was silent for a moment before speaking. "Before you go, you better call her first. If you rashly go and disturb her, it will affect our friendship!"
After hearing this, Vivi nodded seriously. "Yeah, what you said makes sense, luckily I asked you first. I'll let you know if I have news!"
"Okay!"
Ending the call, Lilia looked at her phone, her thoughts falling out of control.
It had been half a month since she announced her pregnancy on the internet. During this period, Rachel never appeared.
She hadn't even responded to the messages in the group chat.
Rachel seemed to have disappeared from the world. Not only was there no news, her relationship with Vivi was also drifting apart.
Maybe this is her choice.
"Madam, we have arrived at the bridal boutique shop!"
Dina parked the car at the shop entrance. She turned her head, her eyes blinked and her lips were pressed down as she stopped talking.
Lilia caught a glimpse of this scene and raised her eyebrows. "What's wrong? Do you want to say something?"
Dina bit her lower lip, held the steering wheel with both hands, and pondered over and over again before telling the truth. "Madam, we recently received word that your friend, Miss Rachel, has been staying at her boyfriend's apartment, and…"
Lilia's face was calm. "And what?"
"The name of the owner of the apartment is currently being changed. Young Master Alan seems to be planning to give her an apartment."
Hearing that voice, Lilia lowered her eyelids and thought.
Alan is a businessman and the interests of the Hartanto family are above all else.
What he said to her was still fresh in her memory.
Their relationship was not even a month old, it was impossible for him to be so generous.
Perhaps, his approach only wanted to produce one result.
'Even if I part with her in the future, I won't treat her badly. You should have heard it quite a bit from my female friends, after breaking up with me, I still greet them with a warm welcome.'
This is what Alan told her that day.
The so-called "no ill-treatment" is now visible.
When men try to solve problems about women, they are more likely to use money.
At this moment, Dina saw Lilia's expression, and she pursed the corners of her mouth, not planning to speak anymore.
In this world, perhaps only Rachel would think that Young Master Alan really thought of her!
How ridiculous!
...
When Lilia walked in slowly in the bridal boutique shop, the deputy store manager greeted her warmly.
Knowing that Claire hadn't arrived yet, Lilia took a seat on the lobby's sofa.
She thought, if what Alan told her was true, then it shouldn't be a surprise, and maybe she would hear the news of their breakup soon.
Thinking of this, Lilia casually shook her head.
Before her mind had calmed down, a joke came to her ears at just the right time.
"What's wrong with our little girl? I see you sitting here with a thoughtful face the whole time. Is your husband bothering you?"
