My Supermodel Wife

Chapter 594 - The Trap?

Milia's face turned pale, she was busy shaking her head. "Mr Albert, I… I didn't mean that!"

"Therefore, please get rid of your thoughts as quickly as possible. I ask Harold to be with you so that I can give you a chance to grow. Never try to teach me how I manage my agents."

Albert's tone was suddenly sharp, making Milia tremble in fear.

She opened her mouth and lowered her head indistinctly. "Sorry, Mr Albert, I ..."

While Milia was still struggling to apologize, the secretary suddenly knocked on the door, stopping her unspoken words.

The secretary looked firm and serious. "Mr Albert, Lilia and Harold are here."

Albert's eyes suddenly narrowed, but then he nodded. "Let them in."

Hearing that, Milia couldn't sit still. "Mr. Albert, since you still have work, I ..."

"Sit down!" Albert's voice was calm but heavy.

Milia stopped as she stood up, her face worried and embarrassed. "Mr. Albert, there must be something important that you want to talk about, I don't think it's good for me to be here."

Her instinct told her that she shouldn't meet Lilia.

Whether it was guilty conscience or resistance, she wanted to avoid Lilia as much as possible.

Albert's thick eyebrows lifted slightly, looking smiling but not really smiling. "What's wrong?"

"This..."

Milia is stupid, she hasn't found a suitable reason while the approaching footsteps can be heard outside the office.

She looked back and met Lilia's beautiful eyes in an instant.

As if she was a thief caught red handed, Milia shuddered in fear.

Lilia's sharp eyes fell on her impartially, making Milia feel like she was sitting on a pin.

"Lilia, come in!" Albert said warmly.

He turned to the opposite position and said, "Sit down. On the day of the press conference, I heard that you had an ulcer and left early. Are you feeling better now?"

Lilia shifted her gaze from Milia and looked at Albert just in time. She pursed her lips and sat down gracefully on the chair. "I'm fine. Thank you, Mr. Albert, for your concern."

The woman smiled calmly and warmly, no different from usual.

Albert looked at her deeply, and then smiled at Harold near the door. "Harold, don't stand up like that. Since the two of you are already here, I'll explain to you some work."

After all, when he saw Harold pacing back and forth to sit near the sofa, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Lilia. "Lilia, is there a misunderstanding between you and Milia?"

Albert got straight to the point and his tone seemed very confused.

Milia's eyes suddenly widened, she blinked nervously. 'What do you mean by that, Mr Albert?!'

Compared to Milia's confused expression, Lilia looked at the man indifferently. "Is there a misunderstanding between me and her? Did you hear any rumors?"

Albert sat steadily like a mountain, his pair of sharp eyes staring at them.

After a while, he chuckled lightly. "There are no rumors, but... Milia just came to me specifically to tell me that she hopes Harold can become her exclusive agent. So, for that matter... Have you discussed it in private?"

Milia's face was pale.

She stared intently at Albert, her fingers immediately clenched into fists. Milia didn't want Lilia to know about this before she could completely wrap her fingers around Harold. How could this happen?!

Lilia didn't speak a word, her eyes that fell on Milia's face showed something interesting…

Milia was panicking, she wanted to defend herself, but she suddenly heard Harold's sneer.

"Milia, who gave you this courage? Are you exaggerating your position?"

In order to cooperate with Lilia's arrangements, Harold swallowed his pride and held back his disgust with a feigned expression towards Milia. He didn't expect Milia to be that naive. Did she really feel like he was working hard for her?!

Milia fell into the trap that Harold set in person. "I, I ..."

"Albert, don't say it that way. Milia's reputation in the industry is pretty good lately, people in our circle respond positively towards her. Actually, I also want to take this opportunity to have a good chat with you. After all, Lilia and Milia are our artists, and your responsibility."

"Even though it is first come first serve, Lilia is indeed a mature artist now, and she also has her own ideas for doing things. So you should try to allocate more of your time and energy to Milia."

"Don't worry about losing a chance. Milia is still young, and if you are not biased, she will not come to me to complain."

"As for Lilia, you are now an adult and have a strong position. You have your own judgment and requirements for your job, but I still hope you don't really take advantage of this for your own gain and I won't have much to say about the others."

"Although there have been many rumors, I've sent people to investigate the whole story. You can be sure that you are a high-end supermodel from the famous Aphrodite Agency. No matter what, this is the home that gave birth to you and you will always be the daughter of Aphrodite."

Albert's words made a lot of sense, but after careful consideration, it was not difficult to hear the reminders and affirmations implied in his tone.

Not only did he remind her that Aphrodite made her a supermodel, she was even warned not to be too deliberate in doing something.

Lilia learned that she faced someone intelligent and watched every move she made carefully.

Still, the expression on her face was not clearly visible. Her lips still smiled slightly as she turned to look toward Harold, who looked unhappy.

She blinked her eyes, telling the man to calm down. Then she turned her head and said to Albert, "Mr. Albert is right. I was a bit shy before, which caused problems for the company and I am very grateful for your tolerance and guidance over the years."

"Milia even came here to snitch. Looks like we made her feel guilty. Therefore, to express my apologies, I think it'll be better for Milia to attend the interview with me. And not only that, she'll be featured in most of my future works. Of course, we can have it this way if she is comfortable and can go with me. What do you think?"

Milia was flattered.

She looked at Lilia in disbelief, her eyes wandering suspiciously. "Are you... sure?"

On the previous movie promotion tour, she wanted to go on stage with her but got tricked. Now Lilia took the initiative to make such a request...

No, what if she knows that her position at Aphrodite Agency has changed? Did Lilia want to impress Albert this way?!

Albert himself was clearly surprised by what Lilia said.

He stood up from his chair and approached the edge of the table with hesitation. "Lilia, is what you said true?"

Lilia nodded and calmly greeted Albert's eyes. "That's true. Even though I don't know why Milia complained to you, it doesn't matter."

"Going forward, we will work together. If one feels wronged, we can solve it on the spot. This is good for everyone and saves you from the rumors circulating behind your back. What do you think, Milia?"

Milia didn't speak, but her eyes were blinking.

She always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell Lilia's intentions.

'Is she really such a generous person?'
