My Supermodel Wife Chapter 65 - I Miss You

The next morning, Lilia ca to the shooting location. There, she t about a hundred famous models from various countries for the first ti.

The shooting location was the largest amusent water park in the city. All the models there, including Lilia, wore black swimsuits prepared by the organizer. The swimsuit was combined with a long silk cloth having the sa color as the swimsuit. The fabric was tied around the waist, looking like a skirt long enough to sweep the floor.

The models were asked to walk on the red carpet that had been prepared. Petals of different flowers were spread along the carpet to add a natural impression. After reaching the end of the carpet, the models would pass through the water spray that ford the curtains to climb onto the small stage.

The arrangent not only captured the elegance of the models as they walked with their skirt tails sweeping the floor, but also added to the mystique as they passed through the water curtain.

When Lilia stood with a hundred other models and listened to the explanation from the choreographer, she stood out among the models. She looked so confident, as if it was not her first ti competing with international level models. Her natural beauty and calm deanor caught the eyes of the staff there.

*****

The shooting session lasted 7 hours and only ended around 4 pm.

Lilia left the shooting location with unsteady steps. She purposely skipped yesterday's dinner in order to keep her body in shape. In addition, she also couldn't eat during the photo shoot. Lilia was so hungry that she could finish a whole plate of the super spicy Sapo tofu from Hirayuki Restaurant.

Lilia got into the car that was waiting for her. rry who sat in the back seat imdiately greeted her by handing her a box of vegetable salad, "Are you okay, Sister Lilia? You look so tired. Here, eat sothing to fill your stomach." rry said anxiously.

Harold also glanced at Lilia who was sitting beside him worriedly, but he tried to remain firm as he spoke, "There are still two days left before the fashion week starts. Your schedule for those two days will be worse than today, so prepare yourself carefully."

Lilia slowly chewed the salad, "I know. But at least I don't have to wait five hours like today." Her voice sounded very tired.

Since this was Lilia's first ti appearing on the international stage, models from the sa country kept their distance from her. The other international models had high self-esteem, making it even more difficult for Lilia to approach them. As a result, Lilia was only told that it was her last turn to advance after waiting for hours.

Even so, Lilia accepted the decision without protesting. She realized that no matter how famous she was in Indonesia, Lilia was still a newcor here.

Lilia lost her appetite after just a few mouthfuls and returned the salad to rry. She leaned back into the car seat and closed her eyes.

Harold saw Lilia's lethargic and lackluster expression, "Did the session go well? Or is there soone trying to cause trouble for you?"

Lilia shook her head, "No, everything is going well."

Seeing Lilia's calm deanor, Harold frowned suspiciously. Managers and assistants were prohibited from stepping into the shooting location, so he did not know what happened during the shoot. However, Harold was not that stupid as to believe that nothing had happened.

The models taking part in today's session were far more experienced than Lilia and so of them would definitely try to make things difficult for a newcor like her. Luckily, Harold knew Lilia wasn't the arrogant or impulsive type. She had the toughness and maturity sufficient to stand on the international stage.

Lilia suddenly opened her eyes and turned to rry behind her, "Where's my cell phone?"

rry reached into her backpack, "Hmm ... I'm sure your cellphone should be on..." She muttered when she couldn't find Lilia's cellphone, "Ah! Sister Lilia, you didn't give it to before we left. Maybe you left it in the hotel room?"

Lilia tried to rember her activities that morning. After a while, she rembered that she only changed her clothes before hurriedly leaving the hotel room.

*****

After they returned to the hotel, the first thing Lilia did was check her cell phone.

When she saw that there was a new ssage from Jean, her gloomy face imdiately changed 180 degrees. Her lips parted into a broad smile, like a wilted flower that swelled when it t the sunrays.

[Jean]: "Your photos look pretty."

Lilia's heart was pounding as she read the man's praise. She imdiately replied, "What are you doing?"

Lilia checked the clock on her phone and estimated that it was 11 pm there. She felt a little anxious. Would Jean reply quickly as usual? Or would the man disappear without more news?

The sound of her cellphone notification answered Lilia's worries.

[Jean]: "Miss you."

That one word alone was enough to wipe away all the worry and fatigue in Lilia's heart. She smiled even wider, making her face look funny. Before Lilia could reply, the man sent her another ssage.

[Jean]: "Are you tired today?"

After thinking for a while, Lilia replied to Jean's ssage, "Not too tired, but I'm starving."

It hadn't been a minute after Lilia sent her reply when her cellphone rang.

"Hello?" Lilia imdiately picked up the phone.

"Have you eaten yet?" Jean directly asked. Even though they were thousands of kiloters apart, Lilia could still feel the man's care for her.

"Yes, really." Lilia answered with a laugh. Hearing Jean's voice cured her longing a little.

"Why are you hungry? Isn't there food at the shooting location?"

Just as Lilia was about to answer, she realized sothing, "Wait, how do you know today I'm taking a photo shoot?" Even in Milan, this man could tell all her movents!

"The organizers of the Milan Fashion Week announced the models' schedule. I know from there." Jean replied calmly.

"Hmm…" Lilia decided not to ask him about that anymore.

They returned to chat about another topic. After their conversation ended, Jean sent another ssage for Lilia.

[Jean]: "Don't forget to eat on ti."

For the next two days, Lilia was so busy that she didn't have ti to contact Jean at all. She participated in various activities planned by fashion week organizers such as yesterday's photo shoot and rehearsals at the show location.

This fashion week would last for 5 days, with more than 60 participating brands.

Lilia had been chosen to model several brands on the third and fourth days of the fashion week, so her schedule for the start of the fashion week was quite loose. But on the night before the fashion week started, Harold suddenly visited Lilia's room and gave her a new schedule.

"Are you really sure about this?" Lilia lifted her face from the schedule and looked at Harold with full of doubts.

Harold nodded, "I was just as shocked as you. This morning I received news that the Van brand will be the opening brand for this Milan Fashion Week. They specifically want you as the opening model for their show. The show will start at 7 pm, so you should be ready about 3 hours beforehand."

After saying a few other things, Harold left Lilia's room so that the woman could get so rest.

Lilia looked back at the schedule in her hands when Harold had left. She rembered Alex's offer, Jean's best friend and designer for Van, to make Lilia as one of his models. The woman imdiately opened her phone to thank Jean for giving her the opportunity to et Alex.

As she was typing a ssage for Jean, Lilia also rembered her promise to Alfred. She texted and inford him that she would appear in the Milan Fashion Week opening show at 7pm.

Just a mont after Lilia sent the SMS, Alfred had already replied by promising that he would co with a surprise for her. Lilia smiled as she read the ssage and looked forward to tomorrow.

*****

The next morning, on the first day of Milan Fashion Week, Lilia was awakened by a knock on her door.

"Lilia, are you awake?" Harold asked from outside, "Can you open the door? There's sothing I need to talk about."

"Hmm…? Alright…" Lilia got up from her bed half-awake. She dragged her heavy body to the bedroom's door and opened it. As soon as the door opened, Lilia could see Harold's crumpled face.

"We have a problem." Harold said before Lilia could ask, "The make-up artist who was supposed to handle your makeup tonight suddenly couldn't co. I've called several other MUAs, but their schedules are all full." The man tried to speak as calmly as possible, but his legs were moving nervously.

"What?!" All of Lilia's drowsiness imdiately disappeared. Without MUA, Lilia would not be able to give her best performance in tonight's show.

"I will go to et the staff from the Van brand and also the fashion week organizer to find a solution. You stay at the hotel and wait for news from , okay?" Harold continued.

Lilia imdiately controlled herself and nodded, "Okay."

If she panicked now, she wouldn't be able to put up her best tonight. Lilia had confidence that Harold wouldn't disappoint her.

After Harold left with hasty steps, Lilia decided to eat sothing light for breakfast. She woke rry up, then the two of them went down to the dining room on the ground floor.

While the two were having breakfast, a hotel maid approached their table and offered to refill their coffee cups.

"Only the two of you?" Asked the young woman in fluent English, "Isn't there another man that ca with you?"

"Ah, my friend is on an urgent matter." Lilia looked at the servant lady in surprise. She didn't think that the hotel staff would rember them.

The maid imdiately caught the intent of Lilia's gaze, "Sorry if I sound rude, but I always pay attention to you. I've never seen an Asian as beautiful as you, you know? Are you a model?"

Lilia nodded, "Yes, I will make my appearance tonight. How do you know?"

The servant lady beca excited after hearing her answer, "I knew it! Milan Fashion Week starts today, so I'm guessing you're here as a model! Wow, this is a big honor for ! I'm a fashion lover! Can I shake your hand?" She put the kettle filled with coffee on the table and reached out with a bright eye.

Lilia couldn't resist and shook the woman's hand, "So you will also co to watch fashion week?"

The woman laughed, "No, I watched it from ho! It's really hard to get in and watch it if you don't have a connection, you know? Ah, you remind of sothing!" Suddenly she clapped her hands, "Did you know that there is a wish-fulfilling fountain in the Cathedral of Milan?"

"Is it true?" Lilia tilted her head, "I didn't see it when I went there yesterday."

"The fountain is behind the cathedral." The maid told her, "People here used to go there and throw coins in it. This has beco a kind of local tradition. I don't know if that fountain really had the magic, but why don't you try to go there? You can make a wish for your performance tonight."

Lilia considered it for a mont. Usually she didn't believe in rumors like that, but given the existence of this MUA problem, there was no harm in trying to do it for the sake of a little luck.

"Thank you, I'll be there after breakfast." Lilia nodded.

The lady waitress smiled and imdiately moved to another table.

"Sis Lilia, what are you talking about?" rry could only understand pieces of their conversation as she was less proficient in English.

Lilia explained about the fountain and rry also agreed to go there. As soon as they finished breakfast, the two of them walked towards the Cathedral of Milan. Since it was still early morning, only a few pedestrians were on the square in front of the cathedral. The two of them walked around the magnificent cathedral building.

"Sis, are you sure this is the right place?" Asked rry. She began to worry because there was no one else behind the building.

"She said the fountain was behind the cathedral. Since we've co all the way here, let's look for a little more." Lilia invited her.

After walking for quite a distance behind the cathedral, they found an old cetery instead. The cool morning air created a light mist and added to the eerie atmosphere there.

"S-Sis ... let's go back to the hotel." rry asked, clutching Lilia's sleeve tightly.

"Very well…" As Lilia was about to turn around, her eyes saw the silhouette of the majestic fountain inside the cetery, "Wait, I found it!"

Lilia offered to have rry wait outside, but the woman refused. Finally she had to drag rry into the cetery. When they arrived at the fountain, both of them were both stunned.

The fountain was dry, as if it had been neglected for a long ti.

"Huh…? Why is the fountain like this?" Lilia let go of rry's hand and stepped closer, "Looks like this fountain hasn't been used for years. It's quite in bad shape… "

"L-L-Lilia, let's go…! This place scares !" rry begged.

Lilia was about to say yes when they heard the sound of a twig breaking from behind them. In the next second, rry scread in fear, causing Lilia to imdiately turn around.

"rry! What the… ow!"

As she turned around, Lilia felt a sting of pain in her arm like she had just been shot. She looked down and saw a man's hand pulling a thin needle from her arm. The man in black standing before her was the last thing Lilia saw before losing consciousness.
