My Supermodel Wife-Chapter 49 - Do You Need Help?

This time, Lilia's reaction made Jean satisfied. The man went to his desk and started working again, "What were you doing on your brother's campus today?" He asked in a light tone as if he was asking about the weather.

Jean's question made Lilia stop getting the gift into her bag for a moment, "Ah… my parents were going to Jakarta on business, and they asked me to visit Daniel, my younger brother. Since I'm not busy today, I went to his campus." Lilia answered, deliberately not mentioning the problem Daniel had caused.

Still, Jean could perceive the faint irritation in Lilia's voice, "Then how is your brother's condition? Is he in trouble?" The man put down the document and stared at Lilia.

Lilia lowered her head while smiling bitterly. She really couldn't hide anything in front of her fiancé, "Yes ... something like that."

"Do you need help?"

Hearing Jean's question, Lilia turned to the man in surprise. She still remembered the last time Jean gave her "help", he arranged things without asking Lilia for her opinion like a tyrant. Now that Jean remembered to ask her first, this must be a good progress!

Lilia lowered her head and thought about the offer for a moment. Normally she would refuse Jean's help. She was not used to asking other people to solve her problems. Plus, she and Jean were just a contract partner. The man offered his help as a mere formality to fulfill his obligations as a good fiancé.

The question, however, was it true?

The more times Lilia met Jean, the more uncertain she became. Behind his cold demeanor and words, Lilia could feel his care and concern. It was as if…

Jean really loved her.

Lilia hurriedly shook her head, trying to erase the thought. She had promised not to repeat her mistake of trusting men. If she didn't expect anything, she wouldn't be heartbroken when her hopes were betrayed.

"You don't need my help?"

Lilia looked up in surprise. It seemed like Jean took her head shake as rejection. Even though the man's expression didn't change, Lilia could feel the disappointment in Jean's voice.

'Maybe… Jean likes me too. Even if only a little.'

That thought prompted Lilia to answer, "I guess I need a little help."

Hearing that, Jean's gaze immediately sparkled and the corners of his mouth twitched as if holding a broad smile. He looked really happy just because Lilia asked him for help.

"Just a little, okay? I do ask for your help, but only a little! Really a little!" Lilia emphasized. 𝒇𝚛e𝘦wℯ𝑏𝓃𝑜νℯ𝒍.co𝗺

"Of course." Jean nodded, "What do you need?"

"I need information about a student. It doesn't have to be a complete profile. I just need her family background and activities for the last two weeks." Lilia answered without hesitation.

"Okay." Jean only asked the target's name before calling someone.

Lilia looked at the man talking on the phone. To be honest, she didn't have to ask Jean for help. The Pangestu family also had an extensive information network and she could use it to find information. But if she used the Pangestu Family connection, they would tell her father. Lilia planned to use this matter to make Daniel owe her a debt of gratitude, so her father shouldn't find out about this. That was why she decided it would be safer to ask her fiancé for help.

At the very least, Lilia didn't need to pretend in front of Jean, and that man was reliable too.

Jean gave her the confidence that if Lilia fell, that man would always be there to catch her.

Lilia snapped out of her reverie as Jean flicked her forehead. Lilia immediately covered her forehead and gave an angry gaze at the man who was standing in front of her.

Still, Jean didn't feel guilty and instead smiled ignorantly, "Why do you keep staring at me? Enchanted by my face?"

Lilia's face immediately turned red, "Huh?! What did you say?! Don't talk nonsense!" She protested.

Before Jean could tease Lilia any further, the man's phone rang. Clicking his tongue in annoyance, he raised it. After a brief conversation, the fax machine on Jean's desk turned on and began printing something.

"This."

Lilia stared at the stack of papers which Jean casually offered her. In just a few minutes, the information she was looking for was available. Lilia received the document with trembling hands.

The Widjaya Family's influence was truly terrifying!

Lilia's surprise grew even greater as she read the document. The information listed there about the student who became Daniel's girlfriend was very complete. There were even details about her monthly menstrual period.

However, Lilia's expression changed while reading the last part of the report.

"Is there something wrong?" Jean did not escape seeing the change in expression.

Lilia shook her head with a faint smile, "I just don't think that this matter is more difficult than I thought. Jean, I have one small request for you…" The woman approached Jean and whispered something in his ear.

"Okay, I'll tell him." Jean nodded.
