My Supermodel Wife-Chapter 84 - When Can I Meet With You?
Lilia was surprised when Chris got into her car without saying anything. The man sat beside her before turning to Lilia.
"Sis, do you mind if I come back to Surabaya with your car?" Chris asked casually, "I don't want to bother the Ricardo Family to take me home. We're going in the same direction anyway, so you won't mind, right?" Chris said.
Chris's attitude reminded Lilia of Jean, who always did whatever he wanted regardless of other people's opinions. Lilia chuckled and replied, "I don't mind. In return, Brother Chris can tell me about Jean's childhood."
"Of course." Chris grinned widely when he heard that. This woman seemed to know how to negotiate. He leaned back against the chair, unbuttoning his top shirt. The man really acted as if this was his own car, "Clifford, run the car."
The head of Jean's security team had known his boss's friends for a long time. So Clifford didn't protest and started driving.
Chris rested his chin on his hands and stared blankly out the window. He thought back to the defiant attitude shown by Alfred earlier. It seemed that the seventh son of the Ricardo Family was intent on going against his own brother. Chris had a feeling that the business cooperation between the Hartanto Family and the Ricardos would be affected by this conflict.
*****
Along the way home, Lilia leaned back into the car seat staring out the window. She remembered Jean's words that the view of Yogyakarta was very beautiful, she must enjoy her time while she was still here.
Even though it was already late at night, Lilia had to admit that Yogyakarta still looked amazing. The traditional-style buildings illuminated by yellow street lights make the place look like the backdrop for a television series with Indonesian empire as its theme.
However, Lilia felt that something was missing. Her mind was wandering to Jean. She hurriedly shook her head, trying to erase the thought. But the handsome face of her fiancé refused to go. Lilia couldn't deny the fact that she wished Jean were also here with her. She wondered when she could see that man again.
'Even though I'm fine without you, now we haven't seen each other for a day, but I've been missing you half to death. I think I already know my decision about this marriage.' Thought Lilia. The corner of her mouth lifted into a gentle smile as she thought of that man.
Chris quietly took out his cellphone and took a picture of Lilia who was staring out the window. He sent the photo to Jean via the Line application.
[Chris]: "Here, a photo to treat your longing. You can thank me later."
When Jean received the message, he immediately saved the photo before replying to Chris.
[Jean]: "Delete that photo from your phone."
Chris was tempted to slam his cell phone on the floor. Why did he want to be friends with an ungrateful guy like Jean?! But then Chris remembered that he wasn't any better than that man himself. He swallowed his anger and put his cell phone back in his pocket.
BRAK !!
Chris nearly dropped his cell phone when the car was suddenly hit from behind. He immediately gripped his cell phone tightly while holding on to the chair in front of him.
Their car rolled for a while, but luckily Clifford was a good driver. The man quickly took control of their car and pulled over.
Chris glanced at Lilia to check her condition. Jean would kill him if anything happened to her. Luckily Lilia was unharmed and was only taken aback by the collision.
The only victim of the collision was Lilia's assistant who was sleeping in the back seat. "Ouch…!" Merry groaned, clutching her forehead which hit the chair in front of her. She immediately sat up and looked around.
Clifford removed his seat belt, "Please wait here, I'll find out what happened." He said before getting out of the car.
Lilia turned around and saw a black Porsche pulling up behind them. It looked like the car hit them, judging by the slightly dented muzzle. Lilia frowned with a worried expression.
"Nothing to worry about." Chris said as he saw Lilia's face. The man was on his arms and trying to look relaxed, "Clifford can take care of this kind of thing."
Merry on the back seat also watched the car from the rear mirror. She felt that something was off about this situation.
Two men got out of the Porsche. They were stocky and wore black uniforms similar to Clifford's. It seemed that the two men were also bodyguards. 𝒇𝘳ℯℯ𝚠𝙚𝑏𝗻𝑜ѵ𝑒𝙡.co𝑚
One of them opened the car door. A woman wearing a pink long tail dress got out of the car. The young woman stood behind her two bodyguards with her chin raised and shot an arrogant gaze.
"Ah…!" Merry gasped as she recognized her. That woman was the guest Merry hit at the party.
'Why is she here?' She wondered to herself.
When the woman in the pink dress saw that only Clifford got out of the car, the woman said something to one of her bodyguards.
The man nodded and walked towards Lilia's car. But when he had walked only a few paces, Clifford blocked his path.
Lilia stared at the Porsche with a sharp gaze. Just like Merry, she also felt that this was a strange situation. Clifford did drive at high speed, but that was a normal thing to do when driving on highways. In addition, the roads were completely deserted with no other cars around.
In other words, this collision shouldn't have happened… unless the car hit them on purpose.
Lilia didn't want to imagine what would have happened had Clifford not responded quickly.
Outside the car, the bodyguard confronted by Clifford began to frown. The man was the same height as Clifford and looked a little more stocky. The atmosphere between the two men grew tense as Clifford refused to back down.
Lilia was worried about Clifford and lowered the window. Instantly, the sound of vehicles passing at high speed on the toll road got into the car.
The woman in the pink dress who was standing behind her bodyguard noticed that the car window was open. She immediately shouted, "Lilia Pangestu, get out of the car!"
Hearing that, Lilia understood that this woman accidentally hit her car to find trouble with her. And Lilia wasn't the type to back down when challenged.
As Lilia reached out to open the car door, Chris immediately caught her arm.
"You better stay in the car. We don't know what that woman wants, and she's desperate enough to hit this car. I'm going to talk to her." Chris suggested.
The man prayed with all his heart that Lilia would obey his words. If he couldn't look after Lilia, the land that Jean promised would be void. To make matters worse, Jean would skin him alive.
But Chris's prayer was not answered. Lilia jerked her hand away and said firmly, "If Brother Chris is worried, you can come out with me."
Lilia didn't want to hide in the car and let other people deal with the person who was looking for trouble with her. She wanted to know what reason this woman dared to crash into her car!
Chris took a deep breath. He began to understand a little about why Jean was so overprotective of Lilia. This woman had courage and toughness that amazed Chris. He wondered how such a young lady from a rich family could become this independent.
Chris finally let go of Lilia's arm before going out with her. Even so, Chris just leaned against the car with arms crossed. Her attitude showed that she would not interfere if it was not needed. He knew that Lilia would want to solve this problem herself.
When Lilia got out of the car, the night wind blew her dress skirt, as if she was standing on a runway. The model approached the woman who called her. Each of her steps was stable and full of confidence, showing her ability as a world-class model.
Lilia ignored Clifford who was trying to stop her and stopped right in front of the woman.
"Are you looking for me?" Lilia asked in a polite but firm tone.
The woman stared at Lilia for a moment. It seemed she didn't expect that Lilia would appear in front of her immediately.
Before Lilia got out of the car, the thin-faced woman acted as if she was an arrogant young lady from a rich family. But now, when Lilia was standing in front of her, that woman actually looked like an arrogant maid who didn't know any manners.
That woman had the impression that she lost to Lilia in every way. Without realizing it, the woman took a step back. But she immediately pulled herself together and straightened her back, trying to match Lilia's tall body.
"Yes, I was looking for you!" The woman replied arrogantly.
Lilia raised her eyebrows in confusion, "Alright, then who are you?"
For a moment, the woman's narrow eyes widened in shock. Then she laughed mockingly.
"You don't have to show your acting skills like that! How could you not know who I am?!" The woman demanded.
Lilia studied the woman in front of her carefully. She had a good memory, but she had never seen this woman before.
"No, I really don't know who you are. So I would be grateful if you introduced yourself before talking about why you were looking for me." Lilia answered in a calm voice.
The woman in the pink dress gritted her teeth when she heard that. Lilia had always looked calm and elegant, no matter what she said to provoke her. But that woman was sure that Lilia's calm demeanor would collapse upon hearing her name!
"Then, listen carefully!" The woman had her hands on her hips and lifted her chin high. "I am Alfred's fiancé, Nora Pranasari!" She looked triumphantly at Lilia, waiting for her reaction.
"Oh." Lilia nodded. So this woman was looking for her because of Alfred, "Then?"
This time Nora was completely at a loss for words. She repeatedly opened and closed her mouth, but not a word was spoken.
Seeing that, Lilia just smiled faintly. She took out her cell phone and called someone.
Nora immediately seized the opportunity to tease Lilia, "Why? Are you looking for someone to help you? Have you finally realized who is standing in front of you?"
Lilia pressed her cellphone to her ear while giving Nora a strange look. Did this woman watch too many drama series on television?
"Hey, are you listening to me?!" Nora protested just as Lilia's phone connected.
"Hello, Brother Alfred? This is Lilia."
The woman in front of her just crossed her arms with a troubled face.
"Yes, something happened. Your fiancée just hit my car."
Nora's eyes widened as she heard Lilia complain about her.
"We just left Yogyakarta, on the toll road leading to Surabaya."
