My Supermodel Wife

Chapter 78 - A Shooting Session

Arriving at the abandoned factory, Lilia immediately changed into the first suit that had been prepared by the staff.

She wore a black V-neck blouse and tight leather pants. Her hair was styled in such a way that it looked messy but didn't detract from her beauty. Lilia wore black-themed makeup, making her look like a woman from a gangster.

She perfectly nailed the new persona that the staff couldn't take their eyes off her. It was as if they didn't recognize her.

The theme for this first photo shoot was cool female style.

When Lilia stood in front of the camera, the photographer was amazed for a moment. The model's cold expression perfectly matched the gloomy and dark atmosphere of the place. The black V-neck blouse she wore made Lilia's skin look white as snow and showed off her long neck.

The shooting session went very smoothly. Lilia excellently changed her expressions and gestures according to the photographer's instructions. She was very professional and never complained to the photographer's request. Thanks to Lilia, the photo shoot was completed much faster than usual and with high quality results.

Adele watched the photo shoot with great satisfaction. She had the feeling that this issue of the magazine would sell well when it was sold.

Three hours later, the photo shoot ended. Throughout the session, Lilia had changed clothes seven times and her shots reached more than a hundred photos.

Merry, Lilia's assistant, approached her and handed Lilia a bottle of water. While the model was drinking, Merry wiped her sweat with a towel, "Sis Lilia, isn't this different from what was promised at the start?" She protested, "Harold said you would only wear five outfits in this photo shoot! But they arbitrarily increased the number of suits just because this session finished earlier than expected!"

Lilia returned the bottle to Merry before answering, "It's only a small change. IKoN magazine is the best-selling fashion magazine, there's nothing wrong with having a good relationship with them."

"But ..." Merry frowned.

Before Lilia's assistant could continue her sentence, Adele approached them with a big smile.

"Lilia, you worked hard today. The photoshoot went very smoothly thanks to you! Thank you very much!" Adele shamelessly complimented her.

"You're welcome, Sis Adele. I am the one who is honored to be working with iKoN Magazine." Lilia replied with a cute smile.

"I'm also sorry for suddenly increasing the number of your suits." Adele continued, "I will renegotiate with Mister Harold about your payment later."

"Sis Adele, don't bother." Lilia rushed in, "Think of it as my gratitude for this job offer. I'm really thankful that Adele gave me this opportunity."

Hearing that, Adele wanted to hug Lilia tightly. No wonder this model had such a good reputation! Even though she had become popular thanks to the international fashion week that she participated in, Lilia remained polite and humble. Both of these things were rarely found in today's fashion world.

Before Lilia left, Adele gave her a business card. Adele also told her that she had recommended Lilia to a director she knew. The director would contact her in the near future.

Lilia accepted the name card hesitantly. She appreciated the opportunity Adele gave her, but Lilia had no intention of entering the cinema world yet.

"When I met the director two days ago, he was looking for a young woman to appear in the music video he was going to make." Adele explained when she saw Lilia's doubt, "I felt that you would suit the role, so I recommended you. But if you don't like him, you don't need to accept this offer."

"Okay, I'll think about it carefully. Thank you, Adele." Lilia said goodbye to her before going to her next job location with Merry.

Adele was sure that Lilia's career would accelerate further in the fashion world after this photo shoot.

*****

It was 10 pm when Lilia had just finished her last job.

Lilia's last job for the day was appearing on a talk show for a television studio. According to Harold, the event was a recording and not a live broadcast, so it wouldn't take long. But it turned out that the director of this program was a perfectionist, so they need to re-record many times until late at night.

When they came out of the television studio building, the night sky was covered with thick clouds as if it was about to rain. Not a single star could be seen in the sky.

Lilia walked towards the car park with unsteady steps. Her body felt heavy and her head kept throbbing painfully. It seemed she hadn't been able to adjust to her busy schedule after relaxing for a long time.

Merry, who was following behind Lilia, asked in a worried tone, "Sis Lilia, are you okay?"

She was worried about Lilia who looked like she would collapse at any moment. Plus, the model kept massaging her forehead as if she was having a headache. Merry sped up her pace to keep up with Lilia, but she didn't know what she could do to make Lilia feel better.

"I am fine." Lilia waved and tried to sound relaxed, "Just a little headache."

They headed to the only car waiting in the parking lot. Lilia opened the back door and went straight in without paying attention to her surroundings. When she turned to Merry, her assistant was still standing outside the car.

"What's wrong?" Lilia asked in surprise when she saw Merry's pale face.

Merry repeatedly opened and closed her mouth, too startled to speak. She just pointed at the man sitting in the driver's seat with trembling hands.

Lilia followed her gaze and was also surprised to recognize Clifford, the head of Jean's team of bodyguards she had met in Milan, "Why are you here?" Lilia asked, confused and anxious. The incident when she slapped Jean flashed in her mind.

Hearing that question, Merry immediately realized. She ran behind the car and checked the license plate.

This was not a car from the agency!

Merry bit her lip and tried to organize her chaotic thoughts. Why was there only this car in the parking lot? Where was the car supposed to pick them up? And most importantly, why was Clifford picking them up?!

After a while, Merry finally returned to the back seat with Lilia. She looked at Clifford with a meaningful look as she asked, "Sorry, but who are you? Did we get in the wrong car?"

The man in the driver's seat met Merry's gaze in surprise. Clifford immediately recognized Merry the first time he saw her, but the young woman kept pleading through her gaze for Clifford to pretend she didn't know him.

The head of the security team sighed and replied, "You guys didn't get in the wrong car. Young Master Jean sent me here to pick up Miss Lilia, so I sent back the agency car that was waiting for you."

Hearing that, Lilia let out a long sigh. She suspected that Jean wanted to talk to her, so the man sent Clifford to fetch her. But right now Lilia was too tired to refuse. She just nodded before leaning back into the car seat. In an instant, Lilia fell asleep.

Beside her, Merry continued to stare at the man who had started driving the car with full vigilance. She waited until she was sure Lilia was fast asleep before inching closer to the man.

"Clifford, pretend you don't see me tonight, okay?" Merry whispered, asking the man to keep her presence here secret.

Clifford glanced at Merry in the rearview mirror, "Shouldn't Miss Merry be studying abroad? What are you doing here?" Clifford asked in a low voice.

"That is none of your business!" Merry hissed fiercely. But she soon realized that she should have talked softer so that Clifford wouldn't divulge her secret, "Clifford, aren't you a good person? Since you are kind, you will help me, right?" Merry begged with a pitiful look.

Clifford took a deep breath, "...Well, I won't ask any further."

He heard the news that this young lady from the Hiroshi Family was supposed to go abroad to go to college half a year ago. But why was Merry here as Lilia's assistant? Did Jean know about it?

Although those questions occupied Clifford's mind, he knew he would not get any answers from Merry. The man escorted Merry back to his apartment before bringing Lilia who was still sleeping to Jean's house.
