My Supermodel Wife

Chapter 613 - New Office, New Atmosphere

Chris turned around and looked at Jean who came out of a nearby coffee shop. "Do you want to die now?"

Can't he joke with his sister-in-law?!

The man walked slowly beside Lilia and handed her a cup of hot milk. "Wait, it's still hot."

The woman then glanced at Chris. "Are you going to your new office?"

Lilia held the warm cup and took a sip. Her eyes were full of smiles to see Chris's wrinkled face.

Frustrated, Chris stomped the ground several times then looked at Harold. "Are you driving? How about we go there together?"

Harold's mood wasn't completely calm. He eased his breath then walked towards the parking lot. "I'll take the car and follow you from behind!"

"Yes."

...

10 am, the Gaia company.

Since Jean basically gave a lot of money to the Hartanto family, he wanted to change the name of the company where his wife worked. Chris then changed the name to Gaia.

When Lilia and the others stepped down, Harold also arrived in front of the building.

He got out of the car, stood still and stared at the 30 story building. His mood was very complicated.

At first, this company was one of the most dangerous competitors.

This company is on par with Aphrodite in terms of strength, but when it comes to the capital, Gaia is far superior to Aphrodite.

At this moment, there was the sound of footsteps. Harold's gaze then shifted back and caught Lilia's figure approaching.

Her lips were slightly bent, and her deep thoughts were hidden behind her clear eyes.

Lilia looked at him and said while smiling lightly, "Welcome! Looking forward to a new resolution, aren't we?"

"Y..Yeah." Harold said as he forced a smile. Looking over his shoulder, he saw Jean was on the phone while Chris was lighting a cigarette.

Seeing this scene, his thoughts fluctuated a little. After two seconds of silence, he asked, "When did you arrange it? Did you decide to join Mr. Chris from the start?"

The man then sharply paid attention to Lilia's expression— he didn't want to lose any change.

Lilia knew that there must be a lot of questions in Harold's heart. She put her hand in the pocket of her coat. "Not long ago. Coincidentally, Brother Chris invited me to join his company."

"At that time, when I was thinking about the relationship with Aphrodite, Chris just sent me an invitation. I thought this was an opportunity, so even if it wouldn't do much harm to Aphrodite, at least it can still hurt them. After all, the Hartanto family will pay all the compensation fee for terminating the contract. Compared to Albert, brother Chris is more suitable to be our boss!"

In response to this, Harold did not comment.

His throat was itchy and he wanted to smoke. However, since he understood Lilia's condition, he immediately threw away his thoughts. "Actually, you don't have to bring me when you join this company..."

For some reason, Harold felt like a burden.

Full of incompetence, bringing him here was such a waste.

Years of struggling in the entertainment industry, his knowledge and experience couldn't even help nor protect Lilia from people trying to harm her.

He was always committed to Lilia, he dedicated his unrequited love to bringing the woman into #1 Supermodel. But now, he felt like a burden.

Harold raised his head, smiling mockingly at how much of a clown he was. He thought that today's sunshine should be too dazzling, otherwise how could his eyes be so sour?

"Who else can I take if not you?" Lilia said as she noticed Harold's change in expression and sighed. "We've been working together for years. If it weren't for your help, can I have it all today? You're the most dedicated in this circle. You have given so much support to me. I'm used to you taking responsibility for and planning my work."

"If it were someone else, I probably wouldn't be standing here today. But… are you reluctant to leave Aphrodite?" She added.

"How can I?!" Harold thoughtlessly frowned in rebuttal.

He's feeling ironic!

Harold sighed and licked his back teeth. He said earnestly, "Thank you!"

Hearing this, Lilia laughed and shook her head. "Why are you being so polite to me? If you want to thank me, you don't need to. Brother Chris wanted to dig you up and he paid the fine. But don't think too much about it. Let's work hard here. We haven't settled an account with them yet. Termination of this contract is just the first step."

"So you are still…" Harold's words just came out, but Chris had called. "Lilia, don't you want to come in?"

Lilia looked back and saw Jean hanging up on his phone. Then she turned around and looked into Harold's eyes. "Let's go with our new boss!"

The man nodded and followed her.

He tried to hide the fact that he was worried he would have to work even harder to repay their help.

… …

Five minutes later, Lilia was surprised as soon as she walked in in Chris' office.

She thought that any president's office would be like Jean's, practical but still luxurious.

Here, however, a line of plush toys could be seen throughout the showcase.

The room was pretty much dominated by red and green, full of color.

In short, everything is rosy.

Lilia wasn't the only one with a surprised face, Harold also raised his eyebrow as if questioning whether the room could really be said as a president's office.

His new boss is the second son of the Hartanto family, but why the childish design?

Lilia walked step by step into the large cabinet, her eyes swept across various kinds of plush toys and dolls.

In the corner of the room, there are two pairs of new rabbit slippers, one blue and one pink.

Lilia looked through the glass wall for a long time. Later, she found one thing in common— they were all bunnies!

Even the Pikachu doll there is wearing a bunny coat and earmuffs.

Lilia forcefully regained her line of sight, her feelings really complicated.

It never crossed her mind that a man almost 1,9 meter tall with a handsome face and mature look would design his office this way.

She couldn't imagine whether Chris would hug these stuffed bunnies in his arms when he went to sleep at night.

At this moment, compared to Harold's and her shocked appearance, Jean was much calmer.

He had been sitting in front of the broad and bright sofa, his deep eyes showing a shallow smile as he stared at Lilia's astonished gaze.

As for Chris, this meeting was nothing more than his usual get-together. He sat behind his desk, lit a cigarette, then acted stagnant, angrily throwing the case on the table.

He's careless!

It must have been because Lilia was so happy to join him that it made him forget that there was an embarrassing side to his office.

He didn't like these bunny toys and even hated all of the girl's dolls.

But like any other little girl, Merry collected nearly a hundred dolls and kept them all in his cabinet.

He had planned to look for an opportunity to bring them all home, but since there were too many of them, he was afraid that there would be no room, so he left them here.

These dolls were meant to remind him of that one cheerful girl he loved— the true owner of these bunny plushies.

But Chris had no idea that today would be the most embarrassing day of his life!

"Brother Chris, you… do you really like bunnies?"

Since the man is her future boss, Lilia was thinking whether she should buy him a toy and a doll as an 'offering'!
