My Supermodel Wife (For Sale!)

The day after Merry was brought home by the Hiroshi Family, Lilia met Louis to discuss her shooting schedule. The two agreed to advance Lilia's shooting schedule to morning, because the model intended to pick up her uncle at the airport. Lilia's uncle's plane would land at three in the afternoon.

The sun was looming over her head when Lilia finished her filming. She returned to her dressing room with her two new assistants, Dina and Rini. Both of them were still young, even younger than Merry, but they were the opposite of Lilia's former assistant. The two of them were both tall with long legs. Apart from that, they were also very quiet.

Lilia asked the two of them to chat and found that this was their first experience as an artist's assistant. That's why Dina and Rini were so careful in their work. The two of them were afraid to make mistakes that could anger Lilia.

But Lilia herself didn't mind her two new assistants. She asked Harold to reserve a hotel room for them to occupy, and they accepted the arrangement without protesting. Even though Lilia missed Merry's nagging, these two young girls were quite competent at their jobs.

Lilia went into her dressing room and took off her costume with the help of her two new assistants. She checked her watch, which read half past one. Lilia planned to return to the hotel first and rest before going to the airport. Fortunately, the hotel Lilia stayed in was not that far from the airport. It was only twenty kilometers away, which could be reached in half an hour by the highway.

The model finished tying her hair into a ponytail, then she went out with Dina and Rini. But Lilia didn't expect that she would run into William.

Lilia immediately frowned when she saw that man. She felt like William had been appearing around her like a ghost lately. Couldn't that man leave her alone?

William was still wearing the general uniform used for the shoot. When he saw Lilia's figure in a blue blouse and jeans, the man raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Why have you changed your clothes? Do you want to go?"

Lilia just nodded stiffly, "Yes." Her answer was short.

She didn't bother explaining why to William. Lilia's cold attitude towards William off-shoot hadn't changed since day one. Their conversations were limited to the lines of dialogue or scenes in the shoot.

"Where are you going?" William asked as he approached Lilia. He acted as if he didn't notice the discomfort crossing the woman's expression, "Aren't you still shooting for this afternoon?" His tone sounded familiar when he talked to her, like a close friend.

Lilia gave the man a noticeable annoyed gaze, "I have my own business, so I've asked permission from Mr. Louis. I'll finish that scene with you tomorrow." She replied curtly before turning to leave.

Seeing Lilia about to leave, William glanced at the other end of the hall with an uneasy gaze.

"Lili, wait a minute!" He exclaimed as he stepped forward, trying to close the distance between them.

However, Dina and Rini immediately blocked the man's steps. They protected Lilia like a pair of trained bodyguards. Harold had emphasized to the two assistants that they shouldn't let William get near Lilia, no matter what.

The two girls' straight postures and their sharp gazes forced William to stop in his tracks. The man gritted his teeth, but he couldn't drive Lilia's assistant away.

The model glanced at the figure of the pitiful man over her shoulder, "Dina, Rini, let's go." She called them.

She shot William a cold gaze before continuing. Lilia felt that William's attitude towards her had become even more aggressive recently. The man even deliberately added drama-filled lines or actions that weren't in the script.

William stood transfixed while watching Lilia's figure walking away. The handsome man's face was flat without emotion, but his hands were tightly clenched. Lilia's cold attitude to him seemed to have stabbed William's heart, making him feel embarrassed.

Even so, William had no intention of simply giving up. He had nothing left to hold on to. Sara had been fired as director of Hartanto Entertainment, and even his manager now had been replaced with the staff Chris chose for him.

Hartanto Entertainment, which was now under Chris' control, did provide William a lot of work. However, all of the work was small in scale and did not help propel his career up. Even his role in the film 'The Chosen Kingdom' was achieved through his own personal connections.

William knew that Chris only wanted to use William's reputation to make up for the resources and money that had been wasted in Hollywood. But William was an ambitious man. He had no intention of falling with Sara, who had lost her position. Because of that, William planned to win Lilia's heart again.

Everyone praised him and Lilia as ideal partners in the entertainment world. If they could go back to being lovers, wouldn't that news shake everyone else?

There was once an artist who reconciled with his ex-wife. Just because of that, the artist's reputation and career skyrocketed. The number of fans was growing every day, making him even more popular.

If the artist's shortcut worked, then William wouldn't hesitate to follow the same path!

*****

Lilia left the film studio with her head held high. If she had known what kind of plan William had in mind, maybe she wouldn't be as calm as she was now.

Around two in the afternoon, Lilia left for the airport. She was so excited to be reunited with her uncle.

When she arrived at the pick-up area, she looked around. There were a lot of fans there who carried posts containing the names of their idol artists. Apart from that, there were also photographers and journalists of entertainment magazines waiting patiently. It seemed like there was a famous artist who happened to also come to Jakarta this afternoon.

Lilia smiled while wearing her sunglasses. She walked calmly through the crowd of fans before finally stopping some distance from the exit. She leaned against the pillar with her arms crossed, her eyes never leaving the door.

A few moments later, the announcement of her uncle's plane arrival resounded throughout the airport. Lilia straightened her back and used her tall body to get a better look at the people who came out.

Twenty minutes passed, but there was no sign of Lilia's uncle. The model was getting worried, so she took out her cell phone to text her uncle.

Suddenly, someone grabbed Lilia's shoulder. "Are you looking for me?" A warm voice asked her.

Lilia turned around with a big smile on her face, "Uncle Julius!" She greeted while hugging her uncle. The man's thin body did not change from the figure Lilia remembered half a year ago.

This 35 year old man was the younger brother of Sylvia, Julius Halim. Even though he had reached his 30s, his appearance was no less youthful than Jean. Coupled with the aura of a grown man and handsome face, Julius could get any woman he wanted easily. However, that man was never interested in romantic relationships. He prefered to spend his days in the laboratory and doing research.

As a leading geneticist in Indonesia, Julius had a gentle but authoritative personality. If Jean could be said to be a man who was beyond the reach of women in general, Julius was the opposite. The man was always smiling and easy to get along with other people.. This made Lilia really love her uncle.
