My Supermodel Wife

Chapter 657 - Believe In Yourself, Joe!



Joe was silent for a long time, so Lilia turned away from the window. "What's the matter? If you feel like your position is low..."

"No." Joe shook his head. "It's just... I was a little surprised by your arrangement!"

This is the impression in his heart.

Hearing this, Lilia couldn't help but laugh. "I've been working with you for so long and this arrangement makes sense to me. Don't expect me and Harold to help you too much in this studio. From opening preparations to future staff arrangements, you will be responsible for that. The workload is a bit heavy right?"

Joe finally understood the meaning of Lilia's words now.

"What do you mean? Will you let me take full responsibility?"

Lilia nodded calmly. "Yes, I leave this studio to you."

This is tantamount to Joe getting a new company without paying a dime.

He felt that this surprise was rather big, and it gave him a headache.

After this, Lilia's next words gave him an illusion.

"As for your salary, just follow Aphrodite's standards. Then, I'll give you 20% of the stock dividend. When the studio gets bigger, we can go over the proportions again. What do you think?"

Her tone sounded very happy, and since she let Joe come to work in the studio, she definitely wouldn't treat him wrong.

She believes in Joe's abilities and skills, as well as in her own choices.

Sometimes, trust is the first step in building good friendship and communication.

Joe never thought that he would have such an opportunity to be in charge of a new company or become a shareholder.

Lilia's arrangement will naturally allow Joe to "work forever" for her unconditionally in the days to come.

In less than half an hour, Lilia and Joe discussed the direction of the studio's initial development.

This studio would be a nightmare for Aphrodite in the near future.

Snatching their resources is the first step.

After Lilia communicated with them, it was nearly 11.30 am.

She was thinking about having lunch together to celebrate, but then her cellphone rang by chance.

She took out her cell phone and looked at the caller ID. She smiled then got up and walked out of the office.

Joe looked at her back, touched his own forehead and asked Harold, "Did you know about this arrangement before?"

Harold fiddled with his hair on his forehead, then shook his head and said bluntly, "I just learned it today. But you don't need to think too much about it. We both have stock in this studio."

"Aren't you afraid I'll mess up?" Joe had no experience running a company, of course he had doubts.

Harold looked at him deeply. "With your skills, you should be able to perform well. The former head of Aphrodite's public relations department has more than enough skills to become a leader."

Affirmed and praised, Joe's heart burned a little.

He pursed his lips in seriousness. "That's right! Don't worry, I will raise this studio like my own child."

This was the only way he could overcome his own doubts.

At the end of his speech, Lilia turned around and opened the door. She stood nearby and said apologetically, "Sorry, I can't have lunch with you guys later. There's something in the house."

"It's alright. We can have it next time. You may go now if you have something to do. Don't worry about the news on the Internet, neither of us will violate your arrangements."

Lilia turned around and wanted to leave, but then she remembered one more thing and looked back at Harold. "If there is a job notification in the near future, you can inform me in advance, especially if it's? an interview at the venue!"

Harold understood her intentions. "Alright, I understand!"

...

Leaving the office's building, Lilia walked down the stairs and saw a black Volkswagen slowly stop at the intersection.

She smiled and looked at the familiar car, then walked quickly and opened the door. A wide palm in the backseat sticking out towards her, making her smile.

Lilia gave her hand and leaned back into the car. After sitting down, she smelled a faint smoke inside.

Clifford, who was driving in the front, nodded in the rearview mirror and greeted her politely.

Lilia smiled back, and before speaking, the man glanced out the window. "Done already?"

"Yeah, there's not much that can be done, just explaining the studio arrangements with Harold and Joe." After saying that, Lilia caught the document lying beside the man. "How about you? Is everything alright?"

"All is fine!"

Lilia listened to his indifferent tone and didn't continue the topic. She then leaned casually on his shoulder. "Did they know that we're back?"

They are now going to the Widjaya family's house.

James called Jean earlier and said as if he knew they had returned to Surabaya.

The man was humming. "This is all my fault."

They were using the Widjaya family's private jet to fly back from Parma to Surabaya.

No wonder his eldest brother found out.

As the car drove, Lilia said, "Wait a minute, why don't we just go back to Villa Lakeside?"

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

She grinned embarrassedly. "It's not appropriate to come empty-handed. At least we need to bring them some souvenirs. Or… let's buy some other gifts."

At this time, Clifford looked away from the rearview mirror. "Madam, we just came back from the house, and Young Master has already prepared everything."

Lilia was dumbfounded, then she lifted the corner of her mouth, staring at the man. The woman then turned and looked out the window.

Jean was the best!

He did many things in silence, and rarely said it.

...

Meanwhile, at the Widjaya Family's house, as soon as Lilia opened the door, James was already walking fast from the corridor.

"Lilia, you're back!"

"Brother."

James nodded repeatedly, and his eyes continued to stare at the woman's stomach. "Come in, come in, it's cold outside, you will freeze!"

Jean just rolled his eyes as he got out after his wife, his own brother didn't even see him and he was completely ignored.

Lilia was greeted warmly by James into the living room. Before sitting down, she saw the man come in with two boxes of gifts.

As soon as she thought about getting up to help him, James asked excitedly, "Lilia, what's wrong? What are you going to do? Don't move too much."

Lilia then froze in her place and didn't dare to say anything.

This brother-in-law is so overprotective!

At this time, Irene came from the kitchen with a fruit plate and heard James's voice from a distance. She said with a laugh, "Why are you so overprotective? Lilia, don't listen to your brother. Do what you want."

James coughed and touched the tip of his nose. "Huh? What about the baby? Who will take responsibility if something bad happened to it? What's wrong with being careful?"
