My Supermodel Wife

Chapter 410 - Perfume Brand Owner

Today, the shooting location was chosen in the middle of a field of flowers. To match it with the perfume brand, the company chose an outdoor location. Unfortunately, the unpredictable weather in Surabaya made strong winds that were chilling to the bone blow that afternoon.

This perfume was based on a light, calm, woody and floral scent. That's why Lilia was asked to run in the flower field while wearing a skirt decorated with edelweiss flowers. The shooting time was deliberately set at half past five in the afternoon, to get beautiful pictures of the sunset and afternoon.

"Is this perfume famous?" Lilia asked Harold. She looked at her manager through the mirror while letting the MUA do her makeup inside the dressing room.

Harold was reading the request for a shoot that the company had given him. After a brief pause, the man gave his answer.

"Last month, the online and offline sales of this perfume have outperformed the newest perfume released by the international brand Tunnel," Harold explained in a low voice.

Lilia was taken aback by Harold's explanation. If that's true, this perfume was sensational! No wonder her manager didn't want her to miss this opportunity.

Half an hour later, filming was about to start.

Lilia changed into a white blouse with short sleeves and a long skirt decorated with edelweiss flowers specially prepared for her. However, this outfit was actually more suitable for milder weather. In this cold and windy afternoon, Lilia was secretly worried that she might catch a cold after filming.

Lilia walked out of the dressing room with a thick coat wrapped around her shoulders. The shoot hadn't even started yet, but she was already shivering uncontrollably.

Dina and Rini immediately walked on both sides as they were waiting for Lilia's appearance. They tried to protect the model from the cold wind as best they could. If Lilia caught a cold, Jean would definitely scold them both.

"Director, the boss of the perfume brand is here!"

Lilia had just walked a few steps when she heard one of the staff screaming towards everyone on the set. Her voice was so loud that almost everyone turned their head in the direction the staff was pointing at.

They saw a flashy Rolls Royce stop slowly by the side of the road.

A driver wearing white gloves respectfully opened the car door. A second later, a pair of shiny black leather shoes hit the ground first.

The owner of the perfume brand was wearing a gray coat over his shoulders and he was wrapped in an expensive suit of the same color. A cool breeze came from the open meadow, blowing the hem of his mantle.

At this moment, almost all eyes were fixed on the man's figure. Lilia was no exception. The clothes and vehicles the man was riding in showed the luxury and power he possessed.

It's just that, when Lilia's gaze turned to the face of the perfume brand's owner, her eyes widened in shock. She couldn't take her eyes off the familiar man's face. It was Alfred Ricardo, the man that she had not seen in a long time.

It's hard to imagine a lecturer like him becoming the internet celebrity and a perfume brand's owner after he resigned from college!

At this moment, Lilia's feelings towards Alfred were very complicated. The man's appearance was different from the white shirt and black trousers he had often worn in the past. Even his appearance was now different from when he attended the birthday party in the Ricardo family.

The biggest difference was that Alfred didn't wear glasses anymore. His sky blue eyes that were usually hidden behind lenses now looked around him calmly and arrogantly. The look in his eyes was aggressive, totally out of tune with his soft and delicate appearance.

Harold gave the model a quick glance before looking back at Alfred's figure. The man felt like he had met the boss of this perfume brand before, but he immediately concluded that it was just his imagination.

How could Harold have known a businessman with a frightening financial power like him? The cost of this handmade suit he wore was over a million dollars. Not to mention the luxury of a Rolls Royce behind him.

Sure enough, it would be impossible to promote a new perfume brand to society in such a short time without sufficient funds. The success of this perfume brand couldn't be separated from the man's financial support.

The reason why Harold accepted this job offer for Lilia was because of an offer from a very lucrative company. In addition, this perfume's reputation was so good that it exploded. Although Lilia often promoted high-end products, there was nothing wrong with promoting products for middle-class people every now and then. It would also increase her popularity in those circles.

Then Harold noticed that Lilia's face looked pale. He frowned and approached the model. Harold whispered, "Do you know this person?"

Harold casually asked that. He didn't expect Lilia to nod her head right after.

The model replied in a low voice, "Are you saying you don't know him?"

Harold was a little confused, "How could I know a big boss like him? You must be kidding!"

Lilia pulled her coat tighter and stole a glance at Alfred who was walking closer. She lowered her voice to explain to Harold, "Don't tell me you forgot about Alfred Ricardo. We met him in Milan. He also invited me to the Ricardo family's birthday party."

Harold was surprised to hear that. Was this a coincidence?

He wanted to ask a few more questions, but Alfred was already standing in front of Lilia. The son of the Ricardo Family didn't seem to care that everyone was paying attention to his every move.

Alfred smiled charmingly and greeted Lilia, "I didn't expect to see you here again, Lilia."

From the beginning of his arrival, his step towards Lilia caused the staff to immediately gossip. Did this brand owner know Lilia Pangestu? They seemed to know each other.

There had been so much news about Lilia on the Internet in the last two days. Even though the Genesis Company's official social media accounts defended her in public, everyone still had a lot of speculation and curiosity about her family background.

In a shooting event like today, they saw Lilia meeting the perfume owner. What exactly was their relationship? Was it really as simple as a supermodel marrying a man from a rich family?

Everyone watched with curiosity. Even the production team put the work aside to whisper together in small groups of two or three.

However, all this commotion didn't affect Lilia. She looked at Alfred calmly and smiled kindly. "So this perfume is your brand?"

Alfred looked more relaxed when Lilia greeted him warmly. His gaze swept across Lilia's thin clothes as he replied with a serious tone, "I was surprised too, it turns out that the model for this perfume commercial is you,"

Lilia tried her best to keep her expression neutral. Didn't he know that she was the model?! How was it possible?

Lilia suppressed the suspicion in her heart and chatted casually with Alfred. Her neutral, lackluster or indifferent behavior made the gossip around them slowly die down.

The smile on Alfred's handsome face deepened. He looked closely at Lilia and said, "I'm looking forward to the ad you star in this perfume."

After saying that, the man slightly bowed his head towards Lilia.. Then he turned and walked towards the director.
