Chapter 514 - Naive
The dresses had a special logo that was quite familiar to her.
Dina happily walked in from the door carrying them, but her steps were a little wobbling because the dresses were too heavy.
"Sister, here are three sets of the latest Van brand collections, you can choose any of them!" Dina said cheerfully, making Rini, who was still lethargic, return to her senses in an instant. She got up quickly and ran over.
On the phone, Harold also heard the scream. He was silent for two seconds and asked in a loud voice, "Who gave you that dress?"
After asking this question, he squeezed his cigarette and laughed at himself.
He didn't have to think hard to find out who it was. He forgot that there was a strong man behind Lilia who was always watching over her.
Lilia heard Harold's question as she continued to look towards the door. She saw a familiar figure appear in the changing room not long after.
She picked up her cell phone and smiled as she answered, "He's an acquaintance, looks like he saved my day!"
After she hung up, Lilia smiled and got up to greet him. "Brother Alex, why are you here?"
She didn't expect Alex to appear here either, but Lilia had to admit that his arrival had saved her day.
Alex was still dressed like a noble gentleman, and his long plaid coat made him look graceful.
He walked slowly to Lilia and calmly explained, "I happened to have a show at the theater today. I heard you were here too, so I wanted to give you some new dresses."
Such a lucky coincidence!
Even though Lilia was a little suspicious of this coincidence, she still paid attention to the dresses in Dina's hands. "Are these dresses expensive?"
Alex explained again, "You don't have to worry about the price. After all, you used to be the opening model for the Van brand at that time and you helped my sales increase by 20%. I am very grateful to have you as our model."
"I actually wanted to give you gifts for a long time, but this set of dresses has just been completed and are yet to be officially released. This can also be said to be an experiment, so I want you to show any of them to the public then later I will conduct a survey on it. Therefore, consider wearing this dress as work, no need to pay for it."
Alex's logical answer and slightly persuading tone made Lilia slowly let go of her doubts.
She saw the dress and smiled as she said, "I feel honored to be able to wear the latest Van brand collection and promote it to the public. Thank you also for not charging fees."
"Then, try on this new set first, all to your measurements. If you don't like it, ask your assistant to come look for me again. I can redesign it for you for free."
Lilia gently shook her head. "Don't bother, your brand style is always elegant and the designs are beautiful."
Alex looked at her with a relieved smile. "Alright then, I still have something to do. I'll go ahead first,"
"Okay, thanks brother Alex!"
Lilia then walked him out of the changing room. After thanking him once again, she saw Alex waving his hand without turning back towards her. Lilia stayed still watching his figure gradually disappear from her sight.
...
Back in the changing room, Lilia watched Rini and Dina prepare the dress she was going to wear. As she walked over while taking off her coat, she asked casually, "Where did you meet brother Alex?"
Dina raised her head, blinked, and said something quite absurd, "The elevator!"
Hearing that voice, Lilia nodded. "Does he have something to do here today?"
Dina continued to look her in the eye and answered freely, "I don't know, he said there was a show at the theater so maybe yes."
Lilia glanced at her. "Do you know who Alex is?"
Dina responded with a reasonable answer and admiring tone, "I know, he's the founder and designer of the greatest Van brand, he's very famous!"
Lilia couldn't argue with anything and just nodded in approval.
Forget it, this should be a coincidence.
When Lilia finally made an appearance at the event wearing the newest collection from the Van brand, it caused quite a stir.
The dress, paired with the evening gown style and cleverly combined elements of the Chinese style cheongsam, looked insanely beautiful on her. Although this dress was not yet official, everyone in the entertainment community could see that it was a unique design style from the Van brand.
Off the stage, Milia was waiting for Lilia to appear.
The new model wore that silver evening gown. After removing the jacket, her exposed back became the biggest highlight of her look.
The room temperature in the multi-function hall was quite hot. Coupled with the large number of media reporters and film critics, making the atmosphere in the room very hot.
When Lilia showed up, Milia looked at her from among the crowd.
With just one glance, her expression changed.
How come Lilia wasn't wearing the dress the company chose for her?
However, even though Milia was confused, she hurriedly tried to keep her expression neutral.
She passed through the waves of the crowd and hurriedly walked over to Lilia's side. She looked like she was trying to be on the stage together with her.
Lilia naturally saw her too, especially when Milia was trying to catch up with her and stood by her side.
To be honest, if there hadn't been such a confrontation with her before, it wouldn't really be a big deal for her to bring this junior to the stage or introduce her to the media and the audience.
After all, it was an unwritten rule that seniors had to promote newcomers.
But Lilia absolutely didn't want to do it today!
When Lilia looked away, Milia was the first to speak. "Miss Lilia, Mr. Albert asked you to take me to the stage so you could introduce me."
Oh, so she decided to use the name Albert to threaten her?
Lilia looked at her carefully and casually, her eyebrows slightly raised, and her words were filled with question marks. "Why should I do that?"
Milia blinked and said softly, "I am your junior here, isn't it natural for people to take me as your little sister? But if you don't want to introduce me like this, it's fine. You can still think of me as someone else and find another sensible way to introduce me later."
"My younger sister?" Lilia's eyebrows turned into a sarcastic smile. "Sorry, I don't understand what you mean. Why do I even bother wasting my time thinking of how I should introduce you to people when you are rude to me?"
Milia was surprised then said with a somewhat annoyed look, "This is an order arranged by President Albert."
"Then let Albert call me personally to explain the whole story!" Lilia's tone turned high and her eyes were cold.
This girl always mentioned Albert's name on every occasion. Did she think she didn't know the trick behind those words?
Milia was really naive!
Milia was confused about how to respond to Lilia's words, it was very different from what she had expected.
How could this happen?!
After Lilia said these words, she looked at her coldly, turned around and walked towards the stage.
Milia wanted to chase after her, but her wrist was pulled tightly from behind.
She thought that it was Lilia's two assistants who had restrained her. Milia frowned with anger and turned around to look. But suddenly, she got lost in a daze.
"You, stay away from her!" It was William Anggara, the man who hadn't made any appearance for a long time.
In the film "The Chosen Kingdom", he played quite an important role, that was a general and so it was natural for him to participate in this promotional tour.
He overheard all the conversations between Lilia and Milia.
He had not seen Lilia in a long time, so instinctively he didn't want any irrelevant people to bother her.
William was still very confident.
His eyes were bitter and he rebuked Milia in a grim tone. After pulling her wrist hard enough, he finally let go of her.
William's strong pull made Milia unconsciously stomp her feet as a reflex and stepped on her evening dress.. In an instant, her center of gravity shifted and she fell onto the carpet.
