Rachel didn't pay attention to the table where Lilia was eating.
Under everyone's gaze, she left alone. Even though her back was straight, she could still feel people's piercing gazes.
Claire also showed off her figure, and when she left, she whispered, "That girl... She really doesn't look too smart. Why would she expect a playboy like Alan to only give his attention to her? To be honest, the pretty girl who left earlier was more to Alan's taste. But tracking with a cell phone is a bit too much indeed!"
Lilia pursed the corners of her mouth. "Well, that's life, sis."
Even when the whole world was telling her this, Rachel still closed her eyes.
If she doesn't want to come to her senses soon, logic will be forever useless.
What's more, she had clearly separated herself from reality.
Why did she have to be a good person again if it would only come in vain?
...
After lunch, Lilia asked Dina to take her and her sister-in-law to the Widjaya family's house.
On the way, she takes out her cell phone and texts Vivi.
Lilia : Did you call Rachel in the morning?
Vivi answered within seconds.
Vivi : I called her, but she said she didn't have time, so she told me not to go to her. She said she would call me again when she had time.
Hearing Vivi's answer, Lilia looked indifferent.
She hooked the corners of her mouth and poked the screen with her fingertips to reply: Don't bother contacting her again.
Vivi : Well, she seems busier than us now. Although we don't know what she's doing, since she doesn't want to meet, we can't do anything about it!
Vivi's pretentious tone actually made her very uncomfortable.
They had been separated from Rachel for four or five years, and it wasn't until Lilia met her in Milan that they were reunited after so long.
But now, in just a few months, Rachel had become increasingly stranger.
Vivi knew that neither she nor Lilia were nannies, but she wasn't used to getting the cold shoulder from her friend.
After all, they used to have a sincere and mutual friendship.
But Rachel no longer had these qualities.
...
That night, thanks to Claire's persistence, Lilia stayed with her at the Widjaya family's house.
The next morning, after breakfast, she went to Lilia Studio.
The Annual Film Awards ceremony was probably Lilia's first time attending as a nominated actor since joining the industry.
Lilia never thought of winning.
At 9:30 am, she and Harold were in the office setting the flow of activity on the spot.
After a while, Joe came to the company in a hurry.
He pushed the door open, and when he saw Lilia's figure, he was surprised, "Why did you come so early?"
Lilia looked up and looked at him. "I haven't seen you for a few days, are you on a business trip?"
Joe hummed, pulled up a chair and sat down with a serious expression. "I just came back last night and went to talk to some companies to discuss cooperation. By the way, have you looked on the internet?"
"See what?" Harold raised his head, doubt on his face.
Joe turned on his phone with a serious look. "Someone started voting on the Internet last night. Everyone is guessing who will be the winner in the Best Supporting Actor category for the Annual Film Awards!"
After saying that, Joe turned the screen of his phone. He raised it to Lilia's eyes. "Now, you have 100,000 votes."
Harold subconsciously looked up to Lilia. "So many people are optimistic about you. Are you sure your husband didn't start the voting?"
Lilia listened to Harold's joke, and had a smile on her face. "Of course not, Jean is busy with his work!"
Hearing this, Harold narrowed his eyes suspiciously. He looked at Joe. "You mean you started it?"
Joe. "..."
He looked at Harold palely. "I've been busy on a business trip lately, how could I have time to do such a thing? Those votes purely came from netizens. But it seems you guys underestimated the power of the film Lilia was in…"
"The Chosen Kingdom was very successful and had a couple of fantastic top sales for a week! Not to mention that the discussion about Lilia's role has overshadowed the topics about the heroine. Lilia will win this one for sure!"
Harold. "..."
Lilia watched the two of them argue with each other, she then looked down at the irrelevant current sheet.
It was an honor for her to be nominated for best supporting female actor.
Netizens are now voting, and it's hard to guarantee that competing actors won't be upset.
She observed the process again, and said after a while, "Let's suppress the heat of the votes. No matter who gets the award in the end, the final decision is still in the hands of the judges. But I understand netizens' good intentions, I just don't want to cause unnecessary trouble."
Joe cleared his throat and blinked his eyes. "I guess... we can't help it!"
"What do you mean?"
Joe clicked on the link that posted the vote, and muttered, "Last night, I thought the netizen who started the vote was just an amateur. But this morning, I found out that this link... is our big boss!"
Harold raised his eyebrows. "Big Boss?"
He reached out for Joe's cell phone, glanced briefly, and immediately looked strange.
Lilia also stopped looking at the paper, raising her eyes to look at him. "Who is that?"
Harold glanced at the phone again, and read it unhurriedly, "Gaia Entertainment's Chief Executive Officer, Chris Hartanto!"
Lilia. " … "
Does Chris really have that much time?
Harold threw the phone back on the table and nodded solemnly. "It really can't be kept secret, his identity is there, who dares to question it?"
Joe echoed the scene. "That's right! But our own big boss dares to risk his name, so it seems he wants Lilia to win! Lilia, looks like you have to dress up nicely to look beautiful on stage!"
Harold glared at Lilia then he glanced at Joe. "Don't bullshit! Her current rank, even if she doesn't have the best female actor award, she is a world-class supermodel! But what was Gaia's purpose in doing this? Chris personally initiated this vote, does he want the value of the company to increase?"
Lilia was very confused. It made sense that this was not what Chris would do.
She thought for a moment, then got up with her cell phone. "I'll call him."
"Okay!"
At the same time, in Gaia's chief executive's office, Chris was holding his cell phone furiously. "Merry tell me, what trouble have you caused?"
If it wasn't for Gaia's director of public relations calling him this morning, he wouldn't know that he has a certified social media account!
After Chris found out the ins and outs, he immediately called the little girl on the other side of the sea.
It must be her who made a post about Lilia on the Internet!
On the phone, Merry blankly asked, "I don't know, what do you mean?!"
