My Supermodel Wife-Chapter 48 - Prize

On the way home from campus, Lilia took out her phone to check the time. She noticed that a message had arrived in the Other app two hours ago.

When Lilia opened the message, her bad mood was immediately swept away like sand in the waves. The corner of her mouth automatically lifted into a smile.

[Jean]: "Where are you going?"

Lilia immediately replied to the message, "To my brother's campus."

The woman thought that Jean would not read the message anytime soon and intended to close the application. Surprisingly, only a few seconds after the message was sent, Jean replied to the message.

[Jean]: "What's wrong?"

Lilia stared at the phone screen for a few moments. She didn't know how to answer the man's question. Should Lilia talk about the trouble her brother had caused? But she didn't want to burden Jean with her family's problems. If she continued to depend on that man, she was afraid that she would turn into a flabby woman.

Since Lilia took too long to think, her cell phone started ringing and Jean's name appeared on the screen. Lilia picked up the phone, but she didn't say a word. She could hear a faint voice on the other end of the line.

When Lilia didn't say anything, Jean's deep voice finally began to speak, "Why are you silent?" 𝒇r𝙚𝙚𝓌𝙚𝑏𝗻𝑜𝘷𝗲𝘭.c૦𝑚

Jean's gentle tone was able to calm Lilia's chaotic mind. She took a deep breath before answering in a mischievous tone, "Isn't the person on the phone the one who needs to talk first? I just want to make you talk!"

Even though Lilia tried to sound casual by teasing Jean, the man's silence showed that Lilia's attempt to outwit him did not work.

"Where are you now?" Jean asked.

"On the way home."

"If you have nothing else to do, stop by the office."

Lilia frowned at that. It was only 4 PM and Jean must be busy. Why did that man suddenly tell her to come over?

"Is there any problem?

"Just come first. Kenny will be waiting for you there." Jean said before hanging up the phone.

The woman had no other choice and could only ask the taxi driver to go to the Genesis Company office. Along the way to Jean's office, Lilia felt worried and continued to guess the worst that could happen. Fortunately, the university was not far from Jean's office. In just 15 minutes, the taxi arrived in front of the office building.

As Lilia got out of the car, she saw Kenny who was wearing a gray suit. The man was standing outside the lobby door as he kept his eye on the highway. Lilia felt a little sorry to see Jean's assistant drying in the sun.

"Miss Lilia!" Kenny immediately ran over to her, "Please come in! President Jean asked me to escort you directly to his office."

"Sorry to keep you waiting outside in this hot weather, Kenny." Lilia expressed her guilt.

"No, you didn't keep me waiting. I was just coming out of the lobby when you arrived." Kenny hurriedly rejected Lilia's apology.

The man escorted her to Jean's office on the top floor just like before, but this time Lilia got a lot of curious looks from the staff who passed her.

She wasn't surprised that many of Jean's employees were present at the celebration party yesterday as guests. Lilia had a suspicion that the news about her relationship with Jean had spread widely among the staff, all because of Jean showing off their closeness during the party!

When Lilia arrived at Jean's office, the owner of the room was not there.

"The president is still in a meeting but it will end soon, please wait here for a moment." Kenny told Lilia.

As Kenny said, Jean appeared only five minutes after Lilia arrived. He was carrying a stack of documents in his arms and looked tired. However, when the man saw Lilia, his face became a little more excited.

"Have you been waiting long?" Jean asked in a warm voice.

Lilia shook her head, "No, I just got here." She said while playing with the sofa cushions. Seeing Jean's face again reminded Lilia of the moment their lips had almost touched. The memory made her feel embarrassed through and through.

Suddenly Jean's face appeared right in front of Lilia, "Are you alright? Your face is red." The man asked in worry.

Lilia jumped in shock and hurriedly walked away, "I-I'm fie. I-I should have asked you that! Why did you call me here when you were busy? Did something happen?"

Lilia remembered the voice of conversation she heard when Jean called. The voice must have come from the meeting Jean had just joined. If that man called in the middle of a meeting, there must be something important he had to tell her. Still, Lilia had no idea what it was.

Lilia stared at Jean's calm face with a frown. The man didn't seem rushed or panicked, he looked very relaxed. He made Lilia feel stupid for worrying about things.

Jean just smiled at Lilia's annoyed gaze. He placed his documents on the desk before opening one of his desk drawers. The man took out a box that was neatly wrapped in paper, "For you."

Lilia looked at him in surprise, "What's this special occasion?"

Her feelings were mixed having seen the gift. She felt a bit frustrated that all her worries had just gone in vain. At the same time, Lilia was also touched because Jean still took the time to give her gifts despite his busy schedule.

Jean sat down next to his fiancée and placed the gift in her hand, "The last time you came here, you seemed very interested in the frame containing your photo. So I bought you the same frame." He said while smiling mischievously.

Lilia's eyes widened when she saw the frame containing Jean's photo. That guy looked really handsome in his picture, but what kind of guy gave his own photo?! This was the first time Lilia has received such a unique gift!

Jean raised his thick eyebrows when he saw that Lilia did not seem excited by the present, "What is wrong? You don't like the photo of your future husband?"

"Huh? No, I was just a little shocked. Um… thank you." Lilia covered her surprise with a big smile. This had to be some sort of a revenge!
