My Supermodel Wife

Chapter 796 - Claire’s Request

Lilia took the phone and said with a smile, "Sister!"

On the other end of the call, Claire's voice was soft. "Lilia, are you busy?"

Hearing her sister-in-law's question, Lilia looked at Harold and said, "I'm not busy, how are you, Sis?"

She gave birth to a premature baby, and it was now more than half a month. Lilia had no idea how her sister-in-law was doing.

Hearing her voice, Claire laughed and said, "There's nothing wrong with my body, I really feel like my husband imprisoned me, he kept nagging and told me to rest all the time. Lilia, if you're not busy, can I ask you a favor? But I don't know if you mind or not!"

Lilia rarely heard requests from Claire, so she answered without thinking. "Of course, I will help you as best I can!"

Claire groaned for a few seconds. "Do you remember when we first met? We met at one of my shops in Surabaya."

"Of course! We first met at your bridal shop, right?"

Lilia said as she thought about it, she still remembered when she went with Jean and met Claire for the first time. When she walked into the bridal shop boutique, her heart was nervous at that moment.

Time flies so fast, it doesn't feel like they've been together for a long time.

At this moment, Claire's warm voice sounded soft. "Yeah, that's where we first met. Actually, I was looking for you because I wanted to ask you a favor regarding this shop, but I still respect your decision if you want to refuse it. You know that when I was pregnant some time ago, there were a lot of things to pay attention to, so the marketing for my wedding dress shop was a bit behind."

"The deputy manager also told me that store turnover in the first quarter was down 30 percent. The bridal shop is my own business, so I would like to ask your help to promote and reboost its popularity. What do you think?"

Lilia walked back to the office holding her cell phone and understanding Claire's request. Hearing these words, she nodded happily. "Sure!"

Since it was her sister-in-law's request, she had no reason to refuse.

Upon hearing this, Claire showed an excited tone. "Really? I will go back to Surabaya later, what if we have a chat later?"

Lilia smiled and replied, "It's okay, I'll be waiting for you!"

After she finished speaking, she added in a slightly worried tone, "Sis, I'd like to help you of course, but... I'm also pregnant right now. Later on, my stomach might have grown a lot, you know. Is that okay?"

Claire chuckled as she heard the answer and joked, "Of course I don't need that long to recover, next week I'll be in Surabaya anyway. If I wait for you to finish giving birth to promote my shop, I'm afraid that my bridal shop will have to be closed."

"That's why I've also prepared this in advance. Lilia, I had a sample set of the best wedding dresses that my shop has ever produced. I plan to let you try it out and help me promote it through photo shoots. Don't worry, the wedding dress is a high-waisted dress, which can very cleverly cover your tummy, it can easily hide the fact that you are pregnant."

Lilia was dumbfounded!

She was standing near the front table, staring at her bulging belly.

Even though she was still slim when pregnant, is she really fit to wear a wedding dress as an endorsement?

Claire waited for a moment and didn't hear the answer, so she couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter, Lilia? Is this... troublesome?"

Lilia didn't want to refuse the invitation from her sister-in-law, so she pursed her lips in silence. After a while, she gritted her teeth and agreed. "Of course not, don't worry. As long as you think it's appropriate."

Claire breathed a sigh of relief. "Alright. I've seen the design of the wedding dress. I can't imagine anyone else wearing it except you."

Lilia ended the call with Claire, and then looked at Harold who was waiting next to her, and laughed. "She's Jean's older sister, she wants me to help her promote her wedding dress."

Harold raised an eyebrow and looked down, especially at her stomach. "Now?"

He heard what she just said, and he thought Jean's sister was quite crazy.

Looking for a pregnant woman to promote a wedding dress, she was so bold!

Lilia nodded with a surprised face. "She said she would come to Surabaya in a week. I… should I lose weight?"

Harold glanced sharply at her body. "You don't need to lose weight. Except for your stomach, you haven't gained any weight anywhere else!"

"Is that true?" Lilia suspiciously stretched out her hand to measure her waist and stomach, then shrugged. "You say so, but I have to wear a wedding dress!"

After this, she sighed. "Let's go, the interview isn't over yet, Tom and Vivi will come later. You have to come too just, let's have dinner together."

Harold nodded. "Yes."

...

At five o'clock, Tom and Vivi returned to Lilia Studio.

They both looked normal, but Vivi was clearly tired.

When the interview for the newcomers ended half an hour ago, Lilia and Harold were tidying up the documents at the office.

The two of them knocked on the door and walked in. Lilia looked up from the sheet on her hand. "How is it? Has this matter been resolved?"

Tom was sitting casually on a sofa and saw Lilia. Holding the bottle of mineral water, he took a few sips after opening the lid.

A few drops of water slipped down the collar along his chin. He wiped it rashly, and glanced at Vivi. "Let her tell the story."

Vivi pulled at the corners of her mouth and said languidly, "You do it!"

This answer piqued Lilia's curiosity.

She put down the pen in her hand and looked at Vivi for a moment. "Is the solution not going well? Why do I feel that you two are so depressed?"

Tom crunched the bottle hard, then he angrily said, "What are you talking about, I almost died from anger! At the police station earlier, Ludwig was also there."

"He entered the door like a good child he was, and defended his chatty mother to the very end. Then I heard her mother slapping Vivi two days ago, so I thought about asking them to pay for the medical expenses. But you know what Vivi said?"

Lilia's eyes followed Tom's words, she looked at Vivi.

Vivi raised her eyes and looked at Lilia's smiling eyes. She furrowed her brows helplessly. "That's not the case, I know your intentions are good. But the medical cost for a slap is not up to 50 million, right? Does it need to be exaggerated? Besides, my face is fine now, even if I went to report the wound, obviously they couldn't find it…"

Lilia couldn't say anything.

Tom sighed. "50 million is exaggerated you say? They should even pay for plastic surgery!"

Vivi, who clearly thought she didn't need plastic surgery. "…"

Lilia and Harold looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh.

"Hey, don't be angry. A slap worth 50 million was definitely a bit too much.. Even though I barely know that old woman, I know she would rather die than give up 50 million for a slap! Rather than making things more complicated, it would be more appropriate to get Vivi's belongings back and retrieve them as quickly as possible."
