That night, before Lilia went on a date with Jean, she got a reply from Harold.
[Harold]: "Are you sure you want to attend the Ricardo Family party for free?!"
Lilia replied, "Yes, because I was present at the request of my acquaintance, not as a model named Lilia Pangestu."
[Harold]: "Do you know how much down payment that family has already paid?! Ah never mind! Whatever you say!"
While reading the message, Lilia could easily imagine her manager's frustrated expression.
Twenty minutes later, Lilia finished getting ready for her date. She was wearing a white knit dress with a knee-length skirt that looked simple but made her look more feminine than usual.
When Lilia came down to the living room, she saw Sylvia and Robert sitting opposite each other on the sofa. She couldn't see her mother's face with her back against her, but Robert's face was stiff. The atmosphere between them also felt tense, as if they had just fought.
