Lilia listened to her sister-in-law's praise, her eyes shining. "This dress, the design is so beautiful, I really can't see the shape of my stomach..."
She stretched out her hand and put on the tulle skirt of the wedding dress. The touch feels smooth and comfortable.
Claire silently looked at the picture on her phone, and walked forward and stood beside Lilia. "I also can't see it at all. In fact, you are almost five months pregnant, but your stomach is very small and your arms are not fat. If I look at you from a distance, I can't tell that you are a pregnant woman."
Claire's words made the assistants next to her nod in agreement.
Lilia looked at this wedding dress from the mirror. The high-waisted design perfectly adjusts her shoulder line and curve.
Although the neckline design is the usual wavy thread moiré, the bow fits snugly at the collarbone, beautiful and clear.
At this moment, Claire was hit with emotion. "So beautiful... Lilia, I can't wait to see you when the product is finished!"
Lilia looked at her with a smile. "I'm looking forward to it too. The designer is really competent with the job. I think this style of wedding dress will definitely increase your shop's profits."
Claire smiled, and the two assistants next to her looked at each other suspiciously.
This is not a wedding dress from their shop!
Is it possible to display it on the front display in the future? These two employees naturally don't talk much, even if they feel strange in their heart, they can only discuss privately.
...
Half an hour later, Lilia had finished measuring her wedding dress.
Claire asked her employees to take notes. After returning to the office, she sat down at the table and suggested. "It's half past twelve, shall we go out to eat? If you don't have work in the afternoon, will you accompany me back to my family's house? My brothers called me frequently, and they were worried about my premature birth. Since I'm already here, I'm thinking of accompanying them while they're here."
Hearing this, Lilia immediately agreed. The two of them went to the restaurant in her car. When they got out of the car, Claire said, "We met here for the first time. Do you remember?"
Lilia nodded, she got out of the car carefully and raised her eyes while smiling. "Of course. Did you take me to this restaurant to reminisce about the past?"
"That's not entirely true. You can't eat anything greasy now, I think this organic food is perfect for you. After all, your husband knew that I was going to take you to lunch, so he told me not to let you eat carelessly. I happened to remember this restaurant, the food here is light and healthy, and most suitable for your current physical condition!"
Claire teased her as she walked in, and when she entered the door, she saw the restaurant staff warmly greet her. "Mrs. Widjaya, please come in!"
It seems that this sister-in-law often visited here, and the maid was very familiar with her.
They sat at the solid wood table next to the window. With many trees outside, the atmosphere of the lunch feels special.
Lilia looked into the distance with soft eyes. This was where she had dinner with her sister-in-law. Her current thoughts were stuck to when she met Jean for the first time. Claire sat across from her smiling. "I heard, Jean was recently on a business trip. Are you used to being alone at home?"
Lilia was silent for a moment, then shook her head for a moment. "I really don't want to part with him, but I can't act selfish all the time."
Claire raised an eyebrow. "Did Jean say when he would be back?"
"It might take more than half a month."
After hearing this, Claire breathed a sigh of relief. But half a month was still a long time.
At this time, in front of the restaurant door, someone suddenly walked in.
Her face was carved with anxiety as she walked hastily, looking impatient.
The waiter politely stepped forward to greet her, but she did not say anything, and walked towards the right side of the restaurant.
This restaurant was a high-end one. Even though the seats were full, the atmosphere was not crowded.
And this woman's reckless behavior had caught people's attention.
Lilia and Claire were completely unaware of it, the two of them were still talking in low voices, while the dining table in the distance suddenly heard the loud sound of knives and forks that collided with the dinner plate.
The diners in the restaurant looked up, and Lilia raised her eyebrows and directed her gaze.
She didn't expect to see Rachel here.
At this time, Rachel was standing beside the square dining table in the distance, and Alan was sitting on the high-backed sofa.
There seemed to be someone across from him too, but the back of the chair was high, blocking the person's figure.
Alan ignored the attention of the people around him, and took a sip from the red wine glass. "What are you doing?"
He looked at Rachel from the side of the cup, frowning slightly. His expression was extremely displeased.
Rachel's arms stretched out to her sides. Facing Alan's question, she blinked awkwardly, then turned to look at the girl across. "Didn't you say that you were sending documents to another company?"
The girl sitting opposite Alan blinked indifferently. "Even if young master Alan wants to deliver the documents, he has to eat first."
"You…" Rachel bit the corner of her mouth. "Did you know that these documents are required at the meeting at 4 pm?"
The girl nodded innocently. "Of course I remember, but for me, it is more important to accompany young master Alan to lunch first. Manager, why are you so angry?"
After a few months, Rachel finally became the manager of the planning department.
Almost everyone knows her relationship with Alan.
However, Alan's new assistant is simply beautiful and charming.
In the initial recruitment, Rachel wasn't interested in what she could offer.
She didn't plan to put her in the company, but Alan stepped forward and recruited her specifically.
This incident had always worried Rachel.
Recently, she had no idea what had happened. She and Alan seemed close, but she felt their hearts were getting farther and farther away.
At first, she thought that Alan was unhappy because of Lilia, so she purposely alienated her friend.
She showed great sincerity in this love and she never opposed Alan.
The man let her in his apartment some time ago, and even gave her an apartment as a gift.
Alan's treatment of her gave her nothing but the right idea.
But why was he suddenly so kind to this little assistant?
Rachel wasn't an impulsive girl, she knew very well that men naturally wanted to get a young assistant.
Therefore, she always tried to hide the assistant from Alan's sight.
Unexpectedly, the two of them actually sat in a high-end restaurant to eat grandly.
How about her? While she was eating the rice bowl her company handed out, Rachel overheard the employees discussing that they had seen this new assistant get into Alan's car with their own eyes.
She knew Alan's attraction to women all too well.
Such emotions threw her into chaos, and made her rush to the restaurant despite her worries, trying to confirm her situation.
At this moment, Rachel choked on the assistant's rhetorical question.
She pressed the corners of her lips, suppressed her anger, and asked stiffly, "Then, have you finished eating now?"
The girl pursed her lips, took her eyes off her and looked at Alan, then said sadly, "Young master, I'm really sorry, I can't seem to continue eating with you!"
