Lilia just wanted to know the answer to that question. She didn't care about anything else. As long as rry was on Sasha's side, she would not be able to believe anything that young woman said.
Hearing that question, rry's eyes widened in surprise. Then she shook her head so hard that her braid twisted like a windmill.
"Not! Of course not!" rry answered quickly, "I swear that I beca your assistant of my own accord! Aunt Sasha doesn't even know that I work for you!"
Lilia was silent for a mont as she tried to process rry's words. She realized that there was sothing important in the young woman's words.
But rry took Lilia's silence as a sign that the woman didn't believe her. She continued in a panic, "If it weren't for Aunt Sasha seeing at the studio last night, she wouldn't have known I was with you! If only I had stayed in the changing room, this would not have happened…" rry's voice faded at the end of her sentence.
Lilia secretly let out a sigh of relief. Other people might think that she was naive because she just believed rry's words, but Lilia knew who rry was. She knew that rry was the one who could not lie the most. So hearing the young woman's answer made Lilia relieved.
She took another plate of food and leaned back on the sofa in a relaxed manner, "Did you et Sasha at the film studio?" Lilia asked casually.
Seeing Lilia's relaxed attitude helped rry calm down, "Yes, we t in front of your dressing room. I don't know how Auntie Sasha got there, but she suddenly grabbed my shoulder! I was so scared that I almost scread!" rry explained while demonstrating the events of that night.
Lilia listened to rry's story with great interest. She rembered that Sasha had said that she was going to Jakarta to et her sister. However, that woman appeared in the film studio where Lilia was filming. Was it just a coincidence? Lilia couldn't believe it!
Even if Sasha was on vacation in Jakarta, why would that woman enter the building until she reached the shooting location? In addition, among the many film crews filming at this studio, Sasha was able to find the building Lilia was using and even find her dressing room.
"I heard that the investors for this film ca to visit and Mr. Louis is eting them at the mont."
Shirley's words yesterday crossed Lilia's mind. At that mont, the existing puzzle pieces began to form a picture. Could it be that the investor for this film was Sasha?
Lilia spooned out her food as she kept thinking about that possibility. The more she thought about it, the more plausible that theory was. If Sasha did fund this film, no wonder she wanted Lilia to play the female side character!
rry straightened up and watched Lilia anxiously. The model's expression kept changing, as if she was thinking about sothing important. Seeing that made rry's heart pound again.
She waited until Lilia said sothing, but the woman didn't open her mouth. rry couldn't hold back anymore and moved beside Lilia. She leaned over so that her face was right in front of Lilia.
"Sis Lilia, now you believe in , right?" rry asked in a hopeful voice.
Lilia was so shocked that she almost dropped her plate. She placed her plate carefully on the table before stroking rry's head.
"Of course I believe in you." Lilia seriously said, "I never doubted your words."
The words made a big smile cross rry's face. But Lilia's next words brought rry back to reality.
"But what are you going to do now, rry?"
The young woman lowered her head when she heard the question. She'd been asking herself the sa thing ever since eting Sasha last night!
The question not only stressed Lilia and rry, but also the three people who were sitting in the café.
After Jean and Chris left the room, they went to the small café located at the front of the hotel. The two of them just ordered a cup of coffee each while waiting for the two won to finish talking. Almost half an hour had passed and their coffee had turned cold.
Chris folded his legs and supported his chin with one hand. His other hand held the sixth cigarette he had smoked. He felt that since he t rry, his smoking habit had gotten worse. But he wasn't sure what had caused it himself.
Compared to Chris, whose feet were constantly tapping the floor, Jean looked more relaxed. He leaned back on the chair and exhaled the cigarette smoke.
anwhile, Clifford sat perched on the edge of his chair. He hadn't said a word since they arrived at the café. His face that was always expressionless now looked worried.
After all this ti, Chris finally couldn't hold back anymore. He kicked the table's leg, spilling the untouched coffee. The black liquid stained the snow-colored tablecloth.
"Did you really just find out today that rry is Lilia's assistant?" Chris demanded, glaring at Jean.
He couldn't believe that shit! The Widjaya family's main strength was their information network. Compared to other extended families, the Widjaya family's information network was the best of all. Not a single thing could be hidden from them.
Despite this, Jean did not like to show off his abilities in public. If not, all the detective offices in Surabaya would have gone bankrupt.
Hearing that question, Jean's gaze shifted towards his best friend. Instead of answering, the man tapped his cigarette butt against the edge of the ashtray in a lazy motion, "What exactly are you trying to say?"
Chris threw his cigarette into the ashtray, then turned to the burly man, "Clifford, did you hear what your boss said just now? Are you going to let him play dumb about this?" He sharply said.
Clifford looked up at the call of his na, but he kept his mouth shut tight. He's just a bodyguard. What did Chris expect from him?
Chris snorted and returned his gaze to the blonde haired man, "Jean, don't play dumb with . I can't believe you just found out about rry today. Even before you married Lilia, didn't you investigate everyone around her?" Chris accused.
The man did not carelessly accuse Jean. He knew very well that his best friend was like a lion hiding his claws. Jean always made sure everything was well planned before doing anything. How could he not know that rry was hiding her identity and working as Lilia's assistant?
Chris's stubbornness finally overca Jean's patience. The fourth son of the Widjaya Family sighed before answering, "Very well, I have known about rry since the first ti she beca Lilia's assistant. Are you satisfied?"
Chris pounded the table with a triumphant expression. His face seed to scream, 'I know my guess was right!'
Even Clifford looked at Jean in surprise. Then, he imdiately ca to his senses and hurriedly lowered his gaze.
Jean shrugged with an indifferent expression, "Instead of worrying about it, how about you think of a way to explain this situation to Samuel?"
Samuel Hiroshi, Sasha's eldest brother and head of the Hiroshi Family, was a figure that everyone was afraid of. Even Jean was reticent when it ca to him. However, no one thought that rry was actually Samuel's daughter.
rry was raised as Sasha's younger sister. In the public's eye, she was the youngest daughter of the respectable Hiroshi Family. The family hid the fact that rry was actually Samuel's illegitimate child. No one knew who her mother was, not even rry herself.
Samuel was only 18 years old when rry was born. The man did not tell anyone about his daughter and sent rry to be raised by foster parents.. Even Erika, Samuel's legal wife, didn't know about rry until the day the man took over the leadership of the Hiroshi Family and took the little girl ho.
