At the dining table, the man's eyes were filled with admiration. "If you are no longer a supermodel one day, my company will happily employ Mrs. Widjaya!"
This sentence was sufficient to show that Lilia's guess was correct in all probability.
Her gaze was stifled and arrogant as she stared at him with a sly look. "Looks like I guessed it right?"
If a large scale company was infiltrated with a spy inside, Lilia believed that it would be impossible to catch them overnight, even if they used all of their power to investigate it.
The man took his plate and spoon again, then gave her a piece of meatball in her bowl. "Exactly!"
"Have you found out who it is?" Lilia looked worried.
"Soon!"
At this point, they didn't continue.
Lilia lowered her head to eat, but she kept thinking about the causes and consequences in her heart.
Sure enough, as she thought, the culprit of failure and the leakage of the price offered by Jean's company was the rat who resided in the company.
It's just that... Lilia was still confused. Was this spy a messenger from Galaxy Real Estate or did they do something so lowly for their own purposes?
But since Jean said he'd be able to figure out the problem very soon, he should have his own way.
...
The next day, it was two in the afternoon when Lilia arrived at the Moonlight Cinema venue.
When a tour of her film promotion event was held at the largest cinema in Surabaya, Harold also appeared in his formal black suit.
Around the studio, security precautions had been put in place early on, and the lines of iron fences were filled with fans from all walks of life who'd come to watch.
When Lilia arrived and was about to get out of the car, Harold received a call from his cell phone.
He stretched out his hand to grab Lilia's arm, and after answering the phone, he simply said hello, and listened silently throughout the process.
In just a minute, Harold ended the call.
Lilia sat next to him and saw Harold's expression which looked strange. She then asked suspiciously. "What's wrong?"
Harold folded his legs and smacked the corner of his mouth. "The director of the Van brand said that he would invite you to be the global spokesperson for the Van brand, and that you will be their only spokesperson."
"Van?" Wasn't this Alex's brand?!
Lilia met him in Jakarta yesterday, but Alex didn't even mention it at that time.
Harold saw Lilia's expression which was just as shocked, his eyes glistening as he said, "Do you know what's going on on the internet? You made it into the trending topic for wearing a high faux Van dress and some fashion enthusiasts criticized and even slammed you for that!"
Lilia raised her eyebrows in shock. "What???"
The dress that Alex personally gave her could generate that much controversy? Lilia couldn't help but shake her head and let out a sigh.
As soon as Harold saw her in a daze, he could tell that Lilia didn't seem to be reading opinions about her on the internet. He sighed and briefly explained the situation on the internet to her.
After he finished speaking, he was worried that Lilia couldn't accept it, so he immediately tried to calm her down. "It's best not to take it too seriously. After all, without that dress, you really didn't have any other choice, right? As for their criticism, aren't we used to their spicy commentary? Think of it as just a small storm."
Lilia probably understood what he meant.
It's just that...
"Who told you the dress was faux?"
"It wasn't?" Harold was shocked!
Lilia glanced at him with a faceless expression. Her mind changed along with her tone. "Since netizens have discussed this issue, how can our agency control the public's opinion?"
Harold couldn't answer it and just stopped talking!
"Did they ignore me?" Lilia smiled dryly.
Aphrodite Agency was a real disappointment.
Harold looked at her and frowned. "So… the dress was real?"
"Alex personally gave it to me, do you think it's fake?" Lilia glanced at him. "Where's Joe? Isn't it his job to monitor public opinion online?"
Harold stretched out his jacket in annoyance. "Joe was sent on a business trip! For nearly half a month, he wasn't in the company."
Oh, that was arranged a long time ago.
Lilia did not comment on this. Since the Aphrodite Agency made nothing to say about this matter, they no longer needed to show their pity.
Harold took out his cell phone and looked at it casually. After a while, he said, "The Van brand's international reputation is comparable to the big, high-end, luxury names. They bluntly made you a global spokesperson. With such a role, you can become famous internationally!
"If Albert was sane, he shouldn't offend you anymore. Also, being a global ambassador of a well-known brand will bring great benefits to the company!"
His explanation was very straightforward and he wished nothing to do other than doing business legally.
Lilia said 'oh' casually, then looked out the window and muttered, "Please tell the director of the Van brand that I will not accept this invitation."
Harold was dumbfounded and his voice rose as he asked, "Are you kidding?"
This was a position as a global ambassador for the world-renowned Van brand. The company had never had any ambassador from the start!
What a great honor they'd granted Lilia with!? Inviting her to fill such a position as soon as they went global would bring a lot of benefit!
"If I receive this support now, it will be very profitable for Albert. So why would I need to do it!" Lilia looked away from the window, smiling slightly.
Although Harold felt that it was a pity, it also made sense.
He tightened his brows, and his expression was a little heavy as he said, "Even so, if you reject it now, I'm afraid it won't be easy to get it back in the future!"
"That's not necessarily true," Lilia pretended to be mysterious. "You must respond to the other party honestly first. If you are the only candidate ambassador for them in the world, there will definitely be another chance."
Lilia didn't arrogantly think that the ambassador position must be hers, but this sudden support made her feel that it wasn't a random cake that fell from the sky by chance.
Maybe someone paved the way for her, and she knew who it was.
On the same day, when Lilia participated in a promotional event at Moonlight Cinema, the Van brand's official account posted a pre-anniversary announcement on the internet with a mysterious ambassador.
Van Clothing: "In line with the company's vision and mission, a global ambassador for our brand will be announced soon! [guess who!]"
This mysterious announcement quickly caught the attention and speculation of fans from all walks of life.
After all, everyone who knew the Van brand knew that their main feature was luxury which made them different from other brands. What's more, they never resorted to celebrity endorsements.
Initially, the chief designer and founder Alex also publicly stated in front of the media that it seemed that nobody from the entertainment and fashion industry was good enough to be Van's ambassador.
According to him, no one had been able to suit his taste yet!
Alex's remarks had been ironically discussed by many insiders for their own advantage.
Everyone who could wear a set of Van brand clothing couldn't wait to tell the world that no celebrity really cared about a short-lived enthusiasm.
When the post announced the ambassador news, netizens were quick to provide a link as well as a screenshot of Alex's video interview that year.
Fashion_Gem: "Who was the person who finally caught Alex's attention? Is this person a newcomer? Didn't Alex himself say that there is no suitable person in the current entertainment and fashion industry to be his ambassador? For those who are curious, please see the link below! [Link] [Image]"
