Chapter 13 - I’ve Got My Fiancee Picked Up!
Lilia's icy cold attitude was a slap to William's face. The man was stunned and stared blankly at her. The woman before him suddenly looked like a completely different person. The Lilia he knew wouldn't look at him as if he were a stranger.
William sighed and gave a pleading look, "Lili, do you still blame me for leaving you? Trust me, I never intended to hurt you. I still love you with all my heart!"
Hearing that, Lilia secretly praised William's acting skills. No wonder this man dared to go for a career in Hollywood. If Lilia was still as innocent as three years ago, she would have believed his nonsense.
Lilia smiled sarcastically, "You don't need to bring up the past. You and I have chosen our own paths. I don't want to find trouble, so why are you bothering me now? Do you want to reminisce with me or just say goodbye?"
"I-I ..." William was at a loss for words.
Lilia looked around, but no one else was around them, "William, where is Sara Hartanto? Please don't ever approach me alone like this again. I don't want other people to misunderstand us." If Sara was his lover, Lilia hoped that she would keep William under control so he wouldn't cause trouble for her.
Sara's name brought William's eyes back to focus. He smiled broadly as if he realized something, "Oh, I see. Lili, you are jealous of Sara. That's why you purposely made your fight viral last night."
This time it was Lilia's turn to be at a loss for words. She just looked at William in confusion.
"I know you hired someone on purpose to make your fight viral so that I would remember our past. Then after successfully getting my attention, you pretended to be cold towards me. I have to admit, that's the smart way, Lili. You've changed a lot during these three years." William smiled proudly, as if he had correctly guessed Lilia's intentions.
At that moment, Lilia felt that Rina should receive even harsher sanctions. Because of her, William thought that Lilia still loved him. Lilia's hand was itching to slap the face of the man who was full of himself in front of her.
Lilia slowly took off her sunglasses and gave her the most contemptuous gaze, "Are you stupid? Why would I use that ridiculous way to get your attention?"
William was stunned by Lilia's words.
"More importantly, I don't even need your attention. Could it be that you've forgotten what kind of person I am? It turns out that you are getting even more stupid after three years we haven't met!" Lilia continued her insults.
As William's face flushed with embarrassment, the woman stepped forward and closed the gap between them. Her gaze was filled with anger that she intimidated William, making the man step back.
"Next time, think before making such accusations, William Anggara." Lilia said coldly.
When William thought about it, he had to admit that it didn't suit Lilia's character. The woman preferred to do things in a straightforward manner. However, William believed love can change a person. Before the man could argue, Sara's voice came from behind him.
"Will, who are you talking to?" Asked Sara.
With Sara's arrival, William immediately stopped acting pitiful. He returned to the appearance of a gentleman full of confidence. William let go of Lilia's arm and turned to his lover.
"Have you finished shopping?" William smiled gently as he asked.
Lilia clicked her tongue at William's hypocrisy. The man said that he still loved Lilia, but he didn't dare say the same thing in front of Sara. At this point, Lilia could only think of him as a two-faced jerk.
Lilia looked away and walked away again. She had only taken two steps when Sara called out to her, "Lilia, wait!"
Indeed, she was running out of luck today. 𝐟𝙧ee𝔀e𝐛𝓃𝐨𝚟𝑒𝗹.c𝗼𝚖
Sara saw Lilia stop when she called, but the woman didn't turn to look at her. Lilia's calm and nonchalant attitude actually made Sara even more worried if she would succeed in seducing William to change hearts once again.
"Lilia, we haven't seen each other in a long time. I didn't expect we could meet here as soon as William and I returned!" Sara's started a small talk. Her pretty innocent face made her words sound sincere.
In contrast to Lilia's eye-catching beauty that resembled a red rose, Sara looked more like a soft, inconspicuous jasmine. Her small face and big eyes were filled with innocence, drawing out the protective side of men.
"Yes, this is truly an extraordinary coincidence." Lilia answered in a flat tone.
However, Sara wasn't bothered by Lilia's cold attitude and instead put on a big smile, "Since we happened to meet, let's have dinner together! I haven't talked to you in a while and I have a lot to tell you."
Lilia finally turned to Sara, but her expression was unfriendly, "No, thank you. I have another appointment." She refused firmly.
Lilia continued walking, but this time Sara grabbed her arm. She glared at the woman in annoyance. Why were these two so stubborn to keep her with them?
"What are you busy with, to the point that you can't even eat with your old friend?" Sara asked in a disappointed tone.
'We're not even friends! I don't want to deal with you and your two-faced boyfriend any longer!' ?Lilia endured the scolding that almost escaped her mouth. ƒ𝔯𝗲𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧oѵℯl.𝒄𝑜m
She looked around in despair, trying to find a way to get away from the two people. Then she happened to see a black Volkswagen car parked by the side of the road. The rear window of the car was half open, revealing Jean who was reading a document.
Lilia straightened up and smiled politely, "Sorry, but my fiancé has picked me up. I have to go."
Without waiting for the two people to answer, Lilia jerked her arm off and ran towards the Volkswagen. She decided to take back all the bad things she had said about Jean.
Jean was her savior tonight.
